Mrs Jessop
This is a gem of a cottage in a very unique position. It is extremely well appointed with high quality furnishings and fittings that add tastefully to the character of the building. There is incredible attention to detail and the owners seem to have thought of everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The shops and cafes on the wharf and in the mill were very friendly and offered an interesting range of goods. Great to see ducks and swans swimming on the canal from the lounge window!

Excellent cottage. Stayed end of Sept. 24, cold and wet, but very warm inside. Had everything that we might need and very comfortable. A good welcome pack. We will be looking this cottage up the next time we go up to the Matlock area and if its not booked we will be booking again.

The Wharf Cottage has to be one of the holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail is outstanding and cosy in every way. Every thought has gone into the decor kept in keeping to the cottage building. On arrival we were greeted in the kitchen with a lovely welcome note and a lemon drizzle cake and of red wine and biscuits. The fridge was equipped with orange juice, milk and different jams. Tea, coffee and sugar is supplied plus a expresso machine with pods to use. The kitchen is supplied with every utensil you could want along with a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility room. The kitchen is cosy and warm with a in keeping gas fire. The lounge is cosy with a lovely gas fire and TV plus various games on the rainy nights. The two bedrooms are a good size with plenty of towels and duvets plus cupboard space. The bathroom is large with a shower and separate bath for that soak after a day out walking. We will be booking again for sure
