Darley Abbey Mills Cottage
A lovely cottage which was perfect for me and my family. Everything was clean and tidy and with good facilities. The location was perfect as we were attending a wedding at the nearby Darley Abbey Mill. This was less than a 5 minute walk for us. I wish we had more time to explore the local area, as it was beautiful. I would thoroughly recommend Steve's cottage to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Charming, open-plan, Derbyshire barn - 2bed 2bath
Very comfortable house kept to high standard of decor and cleanliness. Host has thought about all the guests needs meaning we felt right at home straight away. Parking was right outside the front door which was great. Would love to stay again if we are in the area again.

Amazing City Centre Home
What an absolutely beautiful house, I could have stayed forever! The house is in such a peaceful area, there was plenty of parking space and it had great public transport connections. The beds are so comfortable it is unreal. I can't recommend this lovely house enough, if it is available when we visit again next year I will surely be booking to stay here.

Stag Cottage
Beautiful and tranquil settings, away from the hustles and bustles of life. spent 2 nights here for my husband's birthday. We met the family, the horses, the chickens and ducks. Home from home and would highly recommend if you want a break from everyday life but not far from visiting local sites. Everything in there that you need, from washing up liquid to soaps and shampoos. Would definitely stay again 🙂

Charming one bed cottage in Melbourne, Derbyshire
Helen was an amazing host and really attentive when welcoming us. She was available if we needed anything but she also gave us privacy during our stay. Her guest house is gorgeous. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Luxury one bed apartment in Derbyshire countryside
My partner and I had a lovely stay at the Old Rectory for a weekend in May. The flat was clean, tidy and well kitted out for guests and the surrounding area is beautiful. We enjoyed exploring the church and wandering through the Radbourne estate to Mickleover. We particularly appreciated how responsive Olivia was when there was a problem with the hot water, calling out a plumber to get it sorted for us and offering an alternative in the meantime. It's a lovely spot and Olivia and partner are great hosts and we are looking forward to heading back again at some point in the future. Thanks, John

Huckleberry Cottage
Thank you so much for our stay! Myself and my partner were visiting the area for an event and needed somewhere to stay, this was perfect for us and Chloe and her partner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and help us out as much as they could. The cottage was spotless, the bed was really comfortable and it has everything you need. If we’re ever back in the area we will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Thank you again!
