Dawns House Reviews

Emma Clarke
We stayed in this beautifully decorated house with incredible views. The kitchen was fully equipped, with tea, coffee, sugarand some nice biscuits - a thoughtful touch! It would have been great to find a small milk bottle, but otherwise all info we needed was in the folder, including some interesting house history. The beds were comfyand the hot tub was a real highlight. Only thing missing was recycling info - we weren’t sure where to sort waste. Still, a lovely stay overall!
Emily
We stayed in a charming cottage that’s perfect for exploring. It’s in a lovely spot, great for walks right from the doorstep. The Greyhound’s food was fantasticand we loved visiting the Bookshop-definitely worth stopping by. Little Bow Boutique has gorgeous clothes and accessoriesand Arkwrights was well-stocked with friendly staff. We had an amazing time and would happily return!
James
Great spot, would definitely stay again!
Emma
We loved the house, especially being in a cosy little town with charming pubs and shops nearby. The view of the countryside was stunning, perfect for walks to Black Rocks. Parking was no trouble for our two cars. Just a heads up, if you're sensitive to noise, the road sounds might be noticeable. Still, a lovely stay!

Beautiful home, lovely hot tub to soothe tired legs after lovely walks.

We loved the location, perfect for walking with stunning views all around. The house itself has such a cosy feel, whether you're relaxing in the front room or sitting in the garden. The hottub was definitely a highlight! There are great walks nearby, like Cromford canal which is gorgeousand Black Rocks just a 20-minute hike, really hilly but worth it. We'll be coming back for sure, such a lovely spot!

We spent a long weekend at Dawn's House to celebrate a 40th birthdayand honestly, it was perfect! The place is beautifully decorated, super cosyand really feels like a home away from home. Loved the little touches - chocolates, biscuits, face masksand bubble bath - such nice gestures. The location is absolutely stunning, with plenty to do nearby. We’d definitely recommend staying here and, no doubt, we’ll be back soon!
Emily Carter
We had a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage with such a stunning view. Waking up to the sunrise from the window was truly special. The design is perfect - practical, prettyand comfy. It’s great for families with kids and dogs; we enjoyed peaceful walks through the woods right outside. There’s plenty to do nearby, like Tramway Village and Gulliver’s Park, which our 4-year-old adored. Honestly, we’d definitely recommend it. Such a charming place for a relaxing getaway!

The house was lovely and really clean, which we appreciated. The hot tub was such a treat! Our dogs loved the footpath to the back. We had a really great couple of days away.
Emma
The steps into the property are quite steep, so watch out. The hot tub was fantastic-really clean and powerful! Pubs nearby are perfect for a quick drink after a day out.
Emma
We stayed in this cosy little house and honestly, it’s perfect for exploring the stunning area around. The beds are incredibly comfy thanks to Emma mattresses, so we all slept really well. The hot tub was definitely the best part - after a day walking through the lovely countryside, soaking in the jets with some music was just what we needed. Cromford village is charming, especially the view over the mill pond. We even had a fun night at The Boat for quiz night, complete with cheesy chips and free cake. Definitely recommend!
Emma
We stayed here first and honestly had a great time! Perfect spot for exploring Derbyshire, everything we needed was provided, really appreciated the warm welcome.
