The cottage generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests describing it as spotless. However, one review mentioned a less than perfect state upon arrival, which slightly impacts the otherwise stellar feedback.

Where do I start!? A gorgeous rustic stone cottage with modern and traditional elements set in picturesque surroundings. The tad bumpy uphill drive to the cottage next to fields dotted with sheep adds to the fun and laughter. Everything from the crockery, to the cookware, the furniture, fixtures, gorgeous hardwood floors, the bedding and mattresses were of extremely high quality. The mattresses were zero gravity of clouds of fluffy softness ☁️

A little piece of heaven. It was wonderful to arrive at the cottage, unlock the door and walk through to an immaculately presented space for us to be staying in. We loved the kitchen and dining area/conservatory. The beds were so comfortable and the bed linen very soft. We sat outside and listened to the silence. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant in Wirksworth. And we spent a whole day at Chatsworth House which took all day to see as much as we could. We won't come back because we have so many other places to explore, but we will remember the day we arrived. It did not disappoint and we have recommended the cottage to our friends.
