  Please find below our findings at 60 Swinney lane, Belper On arrival we could not stop the smoke detector from blipping and spent hours trying to get an answer from emergency phone numbers in the information leaflets.

  Only to find that the people who had the numbers were in Japan! We eventually managed to speak to someone at Sykes who e mailed the owner. Eventually the owners daughter arrived and changed the battery. I must say that the young lady in question was very polite and helpful. The reviews stated that they received a welcome pack on arrival. All we were left were a cupboard with half used items, jams, sauces and other food items. The freezer was situated in a brick built shed the door of which was rotten and was hard to open. Once we did get into the freezer it was covered in debris that had fallen from ceiling. On opening the freezer we found three packets of half eaten ice creams! Towels provided we not much bigger than a t towel and there was no spares in the blanket box, unfortunately this was empty. Inside we found the floors to be dirty as was the table in the dining room. On inspecting the oven we found that it needed a good clean as was the grill pan and two metal trays left in the main oven. The shower cubicle needs re grouting and the shower water does not get very hot. The outside terrace area needed sweeping and tidying, the mat by the back door looked Jurassic and is falling apart. The BBQ had been emptied but the grill was filthy. All in all we were very disappointed with our stay. This is a very lovely cottage that has the potential to be a great holiday location.

  The property is lovely and kept to a high standard.

  It was very clean upon arrival with everything you need for a week away. The stairs are steep and windy and aren’t ideal for children or those with mobility issues as some of the steps aren’t full steps. The seating in the living room really isn’t comfy neither. I do love a chesterfield, I think they’re lovely to look at but to sit on on an evening was very difficult. I’m currently seven months pregnant and found it very hard to get comfy as the seats are short and the back on the chair is low. Could really do with some footstools otherwise you’re sat very upright and slide off the seats. Feedback was the same from the rest of our party. We was really pleased with the cottage as whole. The garden was nice, it was in walking distance of everything in belper including takeaways, pubs, shops and supermarkets. These were all walkable from the cottage.

  We had a lovely stay at Chevin View.

  The property and gardens were a great base for our trip. The location was perfect, Belper town, train/bus station and rural walks all on the doorstep. We really enjoyed the garden at the property, which had a large lawn for the kids to play safely. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we slept well at the property. A couple of things to note, the stairs are narrow and were tricky to navigate for our less abled. Low doorways, we had a few bumps on the head. Sound travelled easily in the property, not an issue for us as a close family group, but something to be aware of. We also thought the seating in the lounge area was not comfortable for relaxing in front of the TV. The weather was good for us though, so we spent our evenings in the garden ☺️ Thanks for a lovely stay!

  Lovely cottage with a beautiful view from the kitchen window over the valley.

  Cottage has everything you need, very thoughtful having handwash at every sink, even shower gel in bathrooms and plenty of toilet roll. The kitchen has tea, coffee, sugar etc, and a lovely welcome basket including milk and bread. The outside has steps up to a seating area with bbq which would be great In summer time. Fully enclosed area which was perfect for our dogs. Valley view is a lovely base to visit Matlock, Derby Dale, Bakewell with some lovely scenic walks. Just down the street is a footpath where you can walk the dogs with a great view of the valley. It’s a short walk into the town of Belper and there are plenty of places to eat locally. Parking is easy on the street outside the property. Thank you for a lovely few days.

  Lovely cottage in a great location.

  Cottage very clean. Noise inside did travel but we expected that and the tall people soon learned to duck in doorways! Great to have two bathrooms and all beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. Gate not secure if you have a dog that wants to get out and we had to cover an old sink in the garden to stop him drinking the foul water. The listing did say there was garden furniture. There's one bench chained to the ground so couldn't move it into the shade. Although there is also a table/bench, it's on the drive rather than in the garden so no good for us with our dog. We would have taken camping chairs had we known. The garden is beautiful though and a pleasure to be in.
