More crockery and cutlery than you will ever need. Dishwasher not used but love the idea. Supply of reading a nice touch. Immaculately clean. Dogs not forgotten with bowls and beds provided. Once you get the hang of the stairs a great place to stay. Also great views.

Unfortunately I'd injured my knee and found the stairs to the kitchen a bit steep, but the cottage was adorably quirky. The beds were a little too soft for my husband's back but it was very comfortable and the outlook over the valley was wonderful. We thought it was excellent value for money.

The cottage is beautiful and the views are incredible. We absolutely loved staying there. There is plenty of space inside but it still feels cosy. The kitchen is really well equipped and towels, tea towels and dishwasher tablets were provided which was a nice touch. The welcome pack was also lovely to see. The towns of Matlock and Bakewell are onlyRead more a short drive and there are lots of walks in the countryside close by. We would definitely go back. Hide

We had an amazing week at Judy Cottage. The house is lovely - very clean, well equipped kitchen and spacious. Dog friendly despite no garden - there is a lovely walk in the woods just a few mins walk from the cottage, and a patch of grass for quick "business" trips just a few yards from the house.

The area is fantastic for walking and sightseeing - Chatsworth House and Bakewell both within 15 mins and both definitely worth a visit. Hide

We had a lovely week in judy cottage. It had everything we needed and was a lovely homely place to stay. Loved the kitchen as we enjoy sitting around the table with a cuppa. Sweet little room. Obviously the location is fab and we have spent many lovely holidays in this particular area for many years now.

Cottage was nice, couple of small things not quite right. The toilet seat in the ensuite was broken, the toilet paper roll looked like it was dropped in the toilet then let it dry and left it there it looked gruesome. Shower was nice and spacious but the seals around the door really could do with a replacement. Kitchen had everything we needed, nicRead moree gesture some biscuits and tea/coffee/milk left there for us. Overall it was a good place for our 3 nights. Hide

Lots of lovely walks in the Peak District, I could have stayRead moreed much longer. A couple of nice pubs nearby that were very friendly. A very peaceful, enjoyable break. Hide
