What our customers say about their holidays

  We’ve just got back from a lovely weeks’ stay at Matlock Views.

  We were 5 adults and a 3 year old staying for most of the trip.The whole house was clean and well-equipped and we enjoyed the views and the hot tub immensely. Mum, Dad and little boy took the middle floor and Granny and Grandad and Auntie had the attic rooms. We enjoyed going to Matlock Farm Park, Bakewell, Chatsworth, Hardwick Hall, Belper, Cromford Mill and Peak Adventure at Rowsley. Our only real gripe was the quality of the bedding in our room on the top floor. The pillows were wafer thin and the duvet “cover” was about a foot too short for the duvet and had big holes in it! I slept in the en suite double on the last night and it was much more comfortable. We were a bit confused as to which was our “front door” when we arrived and indeed a hen party barged into our accommodation on the Saturday thinking they were staying in ours! The hot tub was checked on the Tuesday and given how heavy the lid was we’d put the two patio tables behind it to help take the weight. The guy checking the chemicals unhelpfully put them both back which was weird given we had another three days to go…Going forward you may also want to look at the radiator in the single bedroom where our grandson slept as it didn’t come on once the whole week, nor did the extractor fan in the main bathroom.

  Thanks for the stay at Midway.

  Albeit the weather was extremely wet. Generally, a good cottage with some issues that need sorting. I suspect that the following points were exacerbated due the change of seasons and would not have been apparent during the summer months. The upstairs shower is leaking and has been for some time. The ceiling at the bottom of the stairwell is marked and water drips through onto the stair carpet. There are patches mould growing around the house and needs attention. The worst case is inside the underbed draw in the downstairs bedroom. There are three different modes of heating in the cottage and as many electric underfloor heating controls. The instructions for the three types of heating were available but too complicated and we couldn't be bothered with them. The heating come on at random times but insufficient to do it's intended job. I venture to suggest that this is a contributing factor to the growth of mould. Mattress protectors would be good investment.

  Lovely week stay at Midway.

  Kitchen fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, fridge has a 3 freezer drawers. Beds and seating in lounge very comfy. Both settees in the lounge are electric recliners with handy built in charging points. Underfloor heating nice and cosy once we worked out how to use it , great log burner. Only thing we missed was that there are no wardrobes in any bedrooms but plenty of hooks on the back of downstairs doors to hang clothes. The ample draw storage does make up for the space if you don't mind folding clothes for storage . Had a slight issue that was nobody's fault that was responded to immediately by a call to Julie and sorted in 10 minutes, a clear sign of a good, caring, and responsive host. A car is a must to get out and about. A welcome pack with local information etc would be helpful as would instructions for the different heating controls. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  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

  Midway Cottage was a great find and it more than covered all the needs of our family of 6.

  The cottage is in a beautiful location over looking rolling hills and short drives from a whole host of amazing towns, villages and tourist adventures to explore. The accommodation itself was really good and having two lounges, both with TV's, was a real holiday luxury and kept everyone happy. Midway Cottage had everything we could have listed and more, it was very well equipped and all quite modern. Having a separate washing machine and tumble dryer was brilliant for our rainy days. The rain did keep us from fully enjoying the garden with its outdoor eating area, but the extensive bird life was entertaining from the windows. Julie was a most excellent host and was very helpful and welcoming. We would love to return if the opportunity allows us in the future.
