Luxury Cottage with spectacular rural views, private garden, sunroom and terrace

I went with five men friends, a group that has met since around 1980, for two nights then completed the last three nights with my wife. The property was excellent for both purposes. The location is splendid starting with the views from terrace and windows. The inside is warm, tasteful and practical. An excellent conversion of an old property while maintaining its character.

Rated luxury, not easy accessable for older people for walking and parking ,lovely views excellent balcony and sun room the rest was tired ,eg quality of bedding towels and could be cleaner

Warm, clean, tidy, lovely property, well located, and excellent directions.

Loved the house, but a bit more attention needed on the cleaning of it.

This house is great for a big family - rooms plenty big enough and the kitchen-diner and the outside patio was particularly good. It’s possibly much better to stay in during the summer months rather than November when we visited. Not good were: a) the interior furnishings and b) the response from the housekeeper when we needed help. Interior furnishings were dated - probably all installed 20 years ago. The bedding was old and really poor - especially in the twin bedroom, and the towels had seen better days. It was such a pity, as, with a little investment - eg new towels and white cotton bedding - this could have been so much better. On arrival, the house was dark and extremely cold - very unwelcoming. The downstairs lights were working but upstairs, we couldn’t switch anything on. We finally found the boiler cupboard and electricity box and discovered that a switch had tripped, so we finally got light upstairs. The heating had also not switched on at all so we had to do that manually, despite being asked not to fiddle with the controls in the house instructions. We rang the House keeper’s number and the lady’s husband answered and said she would get back to us as a matter of urgency. We then never heard from her all weekend! However, after an hour or so, we had light and heat, so didn’t need her. I feel that for future visits, the heating and lights should be checked ON THE DAY of arrival to avoid our awful first few hours. It really was very disappointing.

The house was well looked after and the owner very responsive. We had a wonderful week.

We had a really lovely family holiday in Wirksworth and the cottage was a great base for extended family with fabulous views. However for a cottage advertised as luxury, there is a little updating required. Conservatory furniture is quite marked, doors stick, the bathrooms could do with a deep clean and pans in the kitchen could do with updating. We requested the stair gate too and it would have been helpful to know that the one available was for the bottom of the stairs not the top. Access to the property is through a gate shared with a neighbour, which caused no problem, but wasn't mentioned. With all this said, it provided a good central spot for our holiday, and we were able to explore a lot of the surrounding area.

The views are stunning … it is well equipped with comfy beds too . Very quiet but not too far from local towns and attractions
