  Firstly the positives, great location with access to lots of what the Derbyshire Dales has to offer.

  The place was very clean and the bathrooms clean and modern. The living room area was nice and comfortable and having 2 pubs in the village gave us a nice choice. Secondly, the negatives, the kitchen is quite small and not great when you're trying to prepare a meal for 5 adults and it could really do with a bigger fridge. The corkscrew was broken, which we didn't realise until we tried to use it which put everyone into a panic as you can imagine. The ladies thought a hairdryer would have also been a nice touch. The biggest issue for us was the single bed mattresses. These are fine I imagine if they are being used by kids but for adults with older bones they weren't very comfortable. We did have a lovely stay though and would recommend the place if you only intend to have kids in the single beds and plan to eat out most evenings. Thanks

  We left after one night.

  Overwhelming smell of smoke from the broken chimney stack. White stone walls in the sitting room are grey with it. Mould spores everywhere, behind beds, corners, windows etc. Leak in utility so floor had puddles. Sheets hadn’t been changed. Stained and wrinkled so called owner and told where sheets were (locked in eaves, sitting on floor with mouse traps and mould on walls). Mould in eaves wardrobe. Dirty kitchen, oven. Uncomfortable beds. Vintage one unsafe as not bolted together tightly and moves. Sofa dirty and cushions paper thin. Had shower and flooded downstairs toilet out and that was the last straw. Obviously happened before as ceilings have old water stains. Got refund for remaining 6 nights but really upsetting. Took photos and shared with Sykes. Only saving grace is the glorious location.

  Wonderful property.

  Pictures don't do it justice. Downstairs/ living space much more generous than it appears. Owners have put in very thoughtful touches from a tea tray in the top bedroom to lights that automatically illuminate your way through the house and garden. This is also what I would truly call a dog friendly property with bowls and blankets provided. We stayed for Christmas and found the property well equipped for cooking and beautifully decorated. Matlock and tansley a 15 min walk either way from the cottage (each with a dog friendly pub) on a various gradient of hill. Set of stairs to first floor is quite steep for less mobile people but there's a solid handrail. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

  We had a lovely short break at Andlestone.

  The property was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped and we liked the "upside down" nature of it. The living accommodation upstairs was very roomy and spacious - we liked the fact that the cooking, dining and seating area was altogether, making it a very sociable space. Bedrooms were lovely - very comfortable beds and bed linen, and two good size bathrooms. The owners Andrea and David were very helpful and accommodating throughout. We ate at the Druid Inn and were made to feel very welcome by their friendly staff - food was delicious too! All in all an excellent break. We thoroughly recommend Andlestone and we hope to return soon.

  A simply fantastic house in a very peaceful village in Derbyshire. The views from the property are unspoilt and we felt very private. There are lots of nice touches around the house in terms of entertainment for example there is a home theatre projector in the main living room which connects to a proper stereo system for a truly sensational cinematic experience. This was in addition to a large TV in the smaller lounge. An acoustic guitar was also a nice touch. The Tiger Inn just a short walk up the lane was superb with a lovely menu and very friendly staff, highly recommended. We will definetly be back!
