We had a lovely short stay in Holly Cottage. We were called an hour before arrival by Simon with our check in details. All very simple. The cottage is lovely, kitchen is well equipped with plenty of bits for cooking. Loads of seating areas with plenty of space for a little cottage. Outside courtyard has a lovely under cover seating areas. Showers were good and beds were comfortable.There is emergency lighting in each bedroom above each door which shines a green light, this is a little annoying as it lights up the bedrooms at night. It is on a main road, so you do get noise from this. I few areas good do with a bit of attention but none of this affected our stay. Would we stay here again, 100%! We loved the cottage and would definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay, the cottage is so homely and spacious, I really loved the layout and different areas to sit and relax including in the kitchen which we enjoyed. The location was perfect and plenty of nice walks close by and great location for visiting Matlock and Chatsworth house. The pub acros the road did the most delicious roasts would definitely recommend. Lovely hosts.
