Stayed for our third time and already booked our fourth! Beautiful cottage and amazing pool⊠both always spotless. Very helpful and friendly owner and beautiful area for walks.
Beautiful elegant cottage, wonderful ambiance and surrounded by incredible scenery. Equipped with everything you could think of and more. Owners super helpful and friendly.Pool a bonus, brilliant to chill after visiting the local beauty spots some of which are practically on the doorstep.The only downside - we only had 3 nights. Hope to visit again at sometime.
I could not recommend this place enough. Itâs immaculately clean, has everything you could ever need, is perfectly situated and the views are immense. To add to that, the pool is second to none. Ray and Julie were perfect hosts, giving clear explanations of all the important info. It really is a diamond of a place and Iâd definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful break.
Another lovely stay at this property. Was exactly as our first visit last year. It's a great property, clean and well equipped. Any questions were answered by Ray & Julie. Love the pool, which is great to use after a day of exploring the local area. We had a fab time here.
great pool and local to most places within max 30mins drive. the pool must be at least 15m long and 6m wide.Bottle of prosecco and tea and coffee and milk and sugar if you didn't bring any.The Cottage and pool very clean and tidy would stay again and recommend to any couples for a quiet getaway and to go around the Peak District.nearest shop 10 mins drive. great Pubs local for meals if you didn't want to cook.Great hosts and it was all ready to move in. with a tour of the property and pool from them.Car Parking plenty space as i got my Bentley in with ease
This was our second visit. This is a really well-designed and characterful small cottage with a large (and warm!) private pool a short distance across the garden. There are fabulous views of the lower part of the White Peak area from the cottage, and walks from the door or from Ilam - a couple of miles away. The hosts offer a warm welcome. Another great stay.
We had a long weekend stay in Thorpe view cottage. The cottage is well furnished, clean and cosy. The garden is well maintained with exceptional views. The pool is a great feature, was used every day. Ray and Julie are warm and welcoming hosts. Good location, ideal for walker's and cyclists. We had a hearty meal on two occasions at the Old dog pub, served by friendly landlord and staff.All in all we had agreat stay,will certainly return.
We planned a three night stay buy had to cut it short for family reasons.We were delighted with our choice. An old cottage on the outside with modern facilities inside.The welcome pack was much appreciated. The facilities were as described. The pool was great. We booked it really, as a back up for bad weather. The only problem was that the weather was so good we only used it once and it was more like a sauna around the edge but refreshing in the water,We planned to use the pub but never got around to it. Make sure you have your groceries on board if self-catering, though Ashbourne is quite close. âWeâwalked( my wife uses a mobility scooter) to1 Ashbourne and back via the Tissington Trail. It was fine. Very happy with our choice. We have used VRBO for years and have been very happy with the arrangements. Enjoy!
Fantastic cottage for our short break. Communication with owner and directions to the property were perfect. The cottage was spotless on arrival and the pool was even better than the photos.
The surrounding area was beautiful and great for walking. All in all one of the best short breaks weâve ever had.
A beautiful location and a lovely place to stay. Really clean and everything you need. Friendly host but private stay. Fabulous pool. Great walks from the doorstep. Hope to return
This is a beautiful quiet cottage finished to a high standard with everything you need for a chilled relaxing holiday.Communication with Ray and Julie was great and the pool was an amazing addition to the cottage.The location is perfect for walking Dovedale 30 mins, Tissington trail 20 mins and the Old Dog Pub which was very welcoming 10 minutes walk.Cannot fault the whole package and would not hesitate to revisit in the future.
We had a lovely stay here. It was spotless, well equipped and the host Ray was friendly and helpful with any requests. Thank you for the milk too, it was much appreciated! We loved the private swimming pool, this is a great feature to have after exploring the local area. We hope to come back again next year!
We had a fabulous 3- night break at this beautiful property. Ray, the property owner, was very welcoming and helpful and the property itself is perfectly located, spotlessly clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The swimming pool is a fantastic feature which we made use of every day. A great short break and we will definitely be returning.
Julie and Ray have owned this property for the last 20 years. The standards are always getting higher as we receive great feedback and ideas from the guests.
We are told by the guests that this is the best cottage they have stayed in with the amazing indoor swimming pool (not shared) and the fabulous stone cottage together with the large garden and incredible views over to the hills including Thorpe Cloud View (this featured in the last Robin Hood movie with white horse image on the hill). The cottage is ideal in all weather, cool in the summer and warm in the winter with the log burner and the eco-friendly central heating.
Outside: A private estate with fantastic gardens in all 4 acres. The Holiday Cottage enjoys uninterrupted view of the hills of Thorpe Cloud at Dovedale. Often you will be able to watch sheep and lambs, cows, bulls and calves, many types of birds including woodpeckers all from the secluded outside seating area of the holiday cottage.
Indoor Swimming Pool & Luxury Jacuzzi. This opulent swimming pool is heated to 31 degrees. It is about 1.4meters deep and 14 metres (40 ft) long. Ideal for the serious swimmer, for the beginner or for the children. The Jacuzzi has its own heating control and has jets from the sides and the bottom of the seat.
Utility Room: Eco friendly remote central heating system (biomass wood pellets) Washing machine and dryer.
Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: The cottage is cleaned after each guest visit. Towels and bed-linen are provided (this includes a towel for each guest in the cottage and also a second towel for each guest in the poolroom). Our gardener tends to the grounds and may start early (7.00am). Also our handy man is often around keeping everything looking great.
