Good communication before we arrived at this excellent property. The house was very clean and the facilities were good for our large group. The location is superb, very well situated for all the places we wanted to visit in the Derbyshire dales. An excellent stay, thank-you.
This was our groupâs 2nd visit. It is a lovely cottage in a great location and met all our requirements. Unfortunately I was unable to join my friends this year due to a very sudden bereavement of a close relative which happened after the cut off date for cancelling the booking and a request to postpone the booking was declined. My friends had an enjoyable stay however last year, one friend inadvertently left an expensive frying pan. The host was contacted the day we left and my friend offered to pay the postage to return it but apparently it was not found at the property. Following the recent stay, another friend inadvertently left 2 jackets in the downstairs cupboard. She phoned the host on the day they left to let her know and advised she was happy to pay the postage to return them. My friend received the jackets 11 days later which was great news! Thank you!
We had a great stay in this property
The location is great for walking and driving to places of interest.
The wi-if was slow and it really needs either a clothes dryer or a line to hang clothes outside on but neither of these things distracted us from having a great time x
Plenty of room for the family to either socialise or have their own space. Huge well equipped kitchen with just about everything you might need! Ideal location away from the road but not so remote you cant walk to civilisation. Local pub, The Gate, did lovely food and super friendly service and just a short walk away.
Not that easy to spot the sign for the lane as you drive on the main road, i recommend having a peek on google street view to give you an idea what to look out for!
Little tip - the en suite bath takes an age to fill as the pressure is low and wasnt very hot first night, but little tweak of the boiler temp and it was a lovely big bath.
Garden not as enclosed for the dog as i thought as she could get down the side to the back garden and orchard with fairly low walls in places but we kept an eye on her and she was fine. Bit annoying a neighbours dog would come into the garden as ours is nervous, plus i didnt appreciate cleaning up someone elses poop! However he wasnt unfriendly and another neighbour took it back to its home so was only really an inconvenience really.
Bed was lovely and squishy... heaven after a day of walking!
Overall really enjoyed our stay and would recommend booking!
Absolutely fab cottage. Beautiful views. Great location for visiting the area. Extremely well equipped. Had everything we needed. Very nice welcome pack.
Thank you so much for a great stay in your cottage. Loads of room and lovely location. Especial, thanks for organising the flowers for our special occasion.
Orchard Cottage had everything you could possibly need for your holiday
Set in a really lovely area which lent itself well for our family of four adults, two children and four dogs
Thank you for a most enjoyable week
Even the weather was kind to us !
This property certainly has the wow factor from the front gate through to the back garden , the wonderful accommodation and the specifications of all the amenities - we loved it and it was just right for our family to get together and enjoy a weekend - wish we had stayed longer - thank you so much.

We are a group of school friends who meet annually. We had a lovely stay at Orchard Cottage and the hot tub was a huge hit. The house is spacious and well equipped. The location is lovely and we enjoyed a scenic walk into Matlock via the Lumsdale waterfall and Mill. Spent the day at Chatsworth which was well worth the visit. The host, Sue, could not have been more helpful.
7 of us stayed at the property, which provided plenty of space for us all. The three bathrooms were useful in the mornings, with all of us getting ready. The lounge had seats for all the adults in the morning.
Located just outside Matlock, you are well placed to explore all the local sights. Whilst having somewhere to retreat after a long day out.
Lovely big, comfortable house for 7 of us plus 3 dogs. Beautiful area, used the local pubs and activities round and about. Very close to Matlock from where we went kayaking down the Derwent.
Had a fantastic long weekend at Orchard cottage. Spacious accommodation for 8 people, with a big table for family meals and a good size lounge. Extra seating area in the kitchen which is great for socialising when someone is preparing food.
The beds are all comfortable and the house was spotlessy clean and really warm.
There's a garden on 3 sides, which was great for our dogs and there's plenty of really good walks close by.
The only tiny details we struggled with were: no sharp knife, and we could have done with more information on where to put the recycling and how to alter the heating.
Otherwise an absolutely brilliant stay, and we all agreed we'd love to go back.
This is a beautiful spacious property which was great for a two families sharing. Location is quiet with great views but still close enough to amenities and plenty of things to do in the area.
Very over priced property. My Mum and Dad arrived Friday morning to find no hot tub there (this was the reason we booked it). I ring the owner to be told it was ÂŁ185 extra, if she could get one. 8 people were going and expecting a hot tub so I agreed to pay in cash but wasn't happy. The hot tub was only comfortable for 5 people, so we couldn't all get in at the same time. Nothing on the site said extra for the hot tub. There is even a photo of one on the gallery. The house needed a refurbishment and a good clean. Kitchen utensils were old and dirty. We took our dog with us, but over the weekend had 2 other dogs running on the garden, so was unable to let my own dog out. My son had to take one of the dogs home as it was there a while. Also a very grumpy neighbour next door complained my dog was barking in the night, but it wasn't my dog. I explained about the dogs at the back of us, but he wouldn't have it. So finished our holiday off arguing with the very rude man next door. Will definitely not be going back.
The cottage was beautiful, very spacious for 6 of us and tastefully decorated and furnished. Everything we needed and more. Spectacular views and surrounding area lovely. We had a fabulous time celebrating a birthday and the glorious weather was an added bonus. We would definitely want to stay again and would highly recommend the cottage.
Perfect location for Chatsworth and the Peak District
Beautiful house, plenty big for 8 adults (10 if you use the fouton.) more spacious than we thought it would be by looking at house online.Spotlessly clean and very comfortable accommodation. We lit the fire which created a cozy atmosphere in the evening. Lovely big kitchen diner, well equipped, dishwasher tables provided but there was no washing up liquid for hand washing items not suitable for dishwasher. Tea and coffee and a pint of milk provided for a welcome cuppa. Ample parking for 4 cars and lovely space outside for dining if weather permitted. We couldn't find the remote control for the large tv in the living room but it was a blessing in disguise. There's a washing machine and a second fridge and a freezer in utility room which would be very useful for families and those staying longer than we did. I would love to stay again, can't really fault the house. Thank you for a lovely weekend stay
