Whilst we had a brilliant week weather wise, this cottage was so comfortable and modern. Lots of space in a lovely environment. Everything about the cottage was first class. With patio doors to the lounge area and bedroom, breakfast with a view was a sheer delight. We donât usually decide to return to the same cottage in the future but in Clovermead Cottage we will make an exception as we will definitely be back!

The wild birds and the gluttonous squirrel are frequent visitors to the bird table add the horse in the next field, quite a view. Nearby traffic noise can get loud but wasnât too intrusive. If going to south Derbyshire again I would consider this property.
