Absolutely lovely accommodation we love staying here and have booked again after ... Absolutely lovely accommodation we love staying here and have booked again after 4 previous visits we would only ever stay here and can't wait till next time

The location & privacy of the holliday cottages is excellent. The grounds & surrounding areas are well maintained & safe for dogs, & we had a lovely stay. there. The cottage is small but nicely presented, unfortunately as the kitchen is small there is no freezer in the kitchen & obviously we wasnt able to make ice cubes ,& as we had brought frozen barbecue food we had to use it after a couple of days as it had thawed out. It lacks hooks & shelves in the property to hang towels etc.

Graham

The cottage was amazing clean warm friendly welcome from the lovely owners of the property. Everything we could possibly hope for even informed us of the best place to eat etc. We didnt do much other than chill and relax and unwind. Its location is ideal for that and with walks within and around its ideal. A nice walk to the local village or pub is ideal. Everything you could wish for in a lovely environment.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Bluebell cottage. We enjoyed the nearby walks and the fabulous hot tub in the evening's. We loved the location, it was so peaceful. The cottage had everything you could possibly need. We would definitely recommend this place if you want that perfect relaxing break.

Lovely character property. Additional freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer in the shared utility room was a bonus. Hot tub was great after a day of exploring Derbyshire.

Charlotte

We had an amazing stay and Jo went to great lengths to get us a travel cot for our 5 month old, which we really appreciate. Everything was as described and beautifully decorated. Only downside was the bed was very soft and well used and the bathroom floor could have done with a sweep, as well as the shower door was broken. Otherwise amazing stay and we will come again!

Gillian

Philip

Already sent as a reply to the email.

We had a really lovely stay at Bluebell Cottage. Jo stopped by often to check on the hot tub and made sure everything was okay for us. Theres loads of really lovely walks in the area and Matlock is beautiful place to visit, just a 15 min drive away from the farm.

Superb stat to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. Jo was very welcoming, gave us all the info we needed and just let us relax & enjoy our stay. The views, the sunrises, the sunsets and the peacefulness were just what we needed. The hot tub was a huge added bonus. We had some lovely strolls & an exceptional lunch at The Dog Pentrich. We had an excellent stay and would totally recommend Bluebell Cottage. Thank you Jo & Ian.

Lovely property in great surrounding's

Bluebell Cottage is a lovely little cottage fitted with everything you need for a week away. It was clean and well thought out. I couldn't fault a single thing. The hot tub was especially nice in the cold weather. I would recommend Bluebell Cottage to anyone wanting a wonderful place to stay in a lovely area.

Fantastic cottage. Very warm and homely. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Hot tub was great. Beautiful area for nice days out and about .

Victoria

A lovely cozy cottage with the added bonus of a hot tub. Well positioned for exploring the area and dog walks from the doorstep. Thank you for a lovely break.

Another great weekend at Bluebell cottage , Already booked for next year Glyn & Marie

Wonderful hosts and cottage was very good and have recommended to our family and friends.

Can't thank Jo enough lovely place to stay. Jo was more than helpful will definitely be coming back next year. Definitely recommend others to stay.

Alfonso

Ian was a great host. The location was perfect. However, a couple of recommendations Mattress too soft needs replacing. Lack of cupboard space for food in kitchen Could do with additional plates and cutlery. Shower needs some attention Mold on shower tray Shower door kept coming off rail at bottom. Apart from that we had a a great stay friendly people on site.

Probably could do with a new mattress but been twice & certainly would book again

Matthew

Had a lovely stay for the 2nd time round! Beautiful views, Great location, Amazing hot tub and owners were very friendly and welcoming. Only negative is the mattress wasn't comfortable. The owners supplied us with a mattress topper to take the edge off which was very kind of them!

Had a really relaxing break, despite the weather. The covered hot tub was a blessing and was used a LOT!!! Well proportioned, clean and well provisioned accommodation in lovely surroundings. Would certainly recommend and would come back again.

Hayley

Had such a lovely relaxing stay. Made our anniversary special. The cottage itself is beautiful and love how you've kept certain things to show the age of the place. It was so cosy and comfortable and the hot tub was a nice little extra feature to help you relax. I have always been scared of sheep but staying here also helped me overcome my fear. Even had a little visit from the owners dog and all I can say is what a handsome boy. The only thing I would say needs to have a slight change is the steps to the hot tub. I would suggest a slip mat on them as the steps become quiet slippy as you get out of the hot tub.

Rebecca

This was our first time at Bluebell cottage It was clean and very cosy. Lovely for a little romantic and relaxing getaway. The hot tub was the main reason we booked this cottage and we absolutely loved it. 1010 all round!

Perfect in all aspects, and friiiendly owners

New mattress and larger sofa

The cottage was everything we were hoping for. It was clean, equipped, cozy and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Great for a little romantic and relaxing getaway. One tiny bit of criticism is, there was no cheese grater, which made a funny task of trying to finely dice cheese. Overall, I would give Bluebell Cottage a 1010 and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Donna ie

Perfect in all aspects, and friiiendly owners

An amazing stay! ! Beautiful cottage with all the facilities we needed to enjoy homemade dinners after soaking in the hot tub posthikes. Owners were very responsive and helpful. Very good location for seeing the Peak District.

Such a beautiful place with beautiful views and the owners were so lovely. The only thing that failed the stay was the old thin spring mattress. The bed needs to be comfy when staying away and was such a disappointment. Other than that was brilliant. There is a workshop right next to the bedroom which woke us up early and there is also a train that passes every 6 minutes that stops at 11ish and starts at 5am ish. But once again still a beautiful place and the hot tub was the best Ive stayed.

We had another wonderful stay this time in Bluebell Cottage Last time in ... We had another wonderful stay this time in Bluebell Cottage Last time in Woodland Lodge only upgrade it could do with is a better mattress and New longer sofa but all these upgrades take time when you have 3 properties to maintain Joanne & Ian looked after us very well it was a pleasure to be there nothing was too much trouble looking forward to our next stay Thankyou xx

Joanne

Had a fantastic stay recently, perfect setting so relaxing, everything in the cottage was clean. Communication with owners was fabulous. Would highly recommend

Darren

Lovely cottage. Great location for walkers

The cottage was so amazing we had a great time. Especially likes the fairy lights above the hot tub, made it feel more relaxing. Views around the cottage were exceptional, such a nice area. And the Owners, Ian & Jo, were the perfect hosts. nothing too much trouble for them before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Andrew

Other than a few more kitchen utensils a decent bread knife etc, everything was great. Thanks
