We have stayed in a huge amount of holiday lets over the years and we can honestly say this was the cleanest, best equipped, and most comfortable beds we have ever had. Beautiful little garden, tucked away at the back of the house. beautiful! location was great for us - 2 minute walk to pub, chippy (be warned Cardale Fish and CHip Shop serve the biggest regular cod i have ever seen - over 12" long! But delicious!), shop, post office and Jeera the best Indian food i have had for a very very long time.

We had a lovely week at Ivy Dene. The house was 2 houses at one point and has been joined together but keeps the unused second front door, so is bigger than you'd expect. Lovely for family life with teens to have the extra sitting room and also 2 places to eat. Very comfortable, with everything you need (probably the most well equipped kitchen we've ever found in a holiday cottages, including plastic cutlery and plates, and good, sharp kitchen knives - makes such a difference!). Crich rec is opposite the cottage with a play park and space to kick a ball, and we did some walks from Crich. Also recommend the Greyhound pub and Crawford Mill (the pub in Crich doesn't currently do evening meals). Nottingham Castle is great, lots of interactive displays and a play park (for under 12s). Fave walk, Lathkill Dale near Bakewell, absolutely stunning. A really comfortable and enjoyable week away, made by having such a pleasant base to return to. Loved sitting out in the pretty garden too.
