    Location was great for getting to and from Matlock. Had a lovely stay

  • Wendy

    Well catered for large family.

  • Peter

    The garden was great for the kids whether for football or water fights. Dining room could fit us all but room narrow and bottle necks both sides, particularly by the door. Some of the kitchen utensils ie saucepans should have been changed, the Teflon surface long since worn away and the kitchen scissors handle was broken, replaced on request. Most things provided but it was useful to bring tin foil, cling film & an ice tray. We loved the plentiful birds in the high hedges. Road noise due being on the A6. We all missed the entrance to the car park as had not fully absorbed the joining instructions. Enjoyed local attractions and walks. Car essential, not much in easy walking distance. Decoration a bit old fashioned. The house is grand but could do more with it. So a great area and a perfectly nice house which could be more attractive with a little effort.
