Reviewers consistently mention the property's spotless condition and high standards of cleanliness, indicating meticulous upkeep by the owners.

The cottage is lauded for its prime location in the Peak District, with easy access to local pubs, walks, and tourist destinations, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with cosy furnishings and beds. However, a few noted the lounge seating and bathroom size could be improved for larger groups.

The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through the welcome basket and their friendly, helpful demeanour. While such gestures are greatly appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed.

The picturesque gritstone village of Birchover is believed to once have been used by Druids as a ceremonial worship site. There’s a rock formation called Rowtor Rocks, with caves and carvings, prehistoric monuments and stone circles, including The Nine Ladies overlooking the village on Stanton Moor (where you can also find the Cork Stone). At Robin Hood's Stride and Cratcliffe Tor, a medieval hermit's cave can also be explored. Just five miles away, the popular town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham. In the opposite direction is the market town of Bakewell, and a little further beyond lies Chatsworth House and Park. With walking and cycling to suit all abilities, thriving villages and some wonderful scenery to enjoy, this part of the Peaks is sure to tempt you back time and time again.

    Lovely walks nearby and a couple of good pubs within walking distance. Well situated for the Monsal and Tissington trails if you like cycling. The only drawback we could see what the fact the lounge did not have enough comfy seating for 6 people and the bathrooms were tiny. As it was just the two of us, however, it was fine.

  • William

    We would definitely stay there again. Chris in particular was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The countryside around the area is very beautiful with lots of country lanes to walk, two major towns not far away in Bakewell and Matlock and only 20 minutes from Chatsworth house. We walked part of the Monsal trail and Dovedale, all within easy driving distance. We didn't get the best of the weather but that's England for you.

    Owners attentive and friendly. Brightside lived up to its name as it was light and airy. Plus the lighting within all areas of the property is extremely good.
