What a lovely holiday home! So well situated for picturesque walks, in easy reach of groceries, and the home itself was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. Thank you to the owner for such a wonderful welcome basket upon arrival!

Lesley
We had a wonderful time in this cottage, location was perfect for the local area to visit interesting local historical sites, first class accommodation, lovely welcome basket was a special touch.
David
The Old Chapel suited us perfectly. A lovely quiet location out of the hurly-burly of Matlock but easy of access and well placed for surrounding attractions. The conversion has been done thoughtfully and to a high quality and the cottage is generously equipped in all respects (who doesn't love Portmeirion china?)and very comfortable.

Interesting old Chapel very sympathetically renovated, loved the kitchen which is surprisingly spacious. Good location, lots of lovely walks and very varied countryside from limestone to pastoral fields and woods. Lots of proper pubs like the Packhorse at Little Longstone. Happy Days .

This was a super cottage. It was very clean and the owners had thought about everything. They left a super hamper which was much appreciated. The beds were very comfy. There was everything you needed. We were able to sit out in the front in a sunny corner using garden furniture that was in the cottage. We visited Matlock bath, Bakewell , Chatsworth and Cromford. Would come again to a lovely region.
