Lydgate Cottage Reviews

We had a wonderful week in Lydgate Cottage. Such a perfect little, cosy, home from home. There was a lovely Easter themed welcome basket waiting for us on arrival plus a bottle of fizz in the fridge. Our doggies also felt very well catered for with beds, bowls and even treats provided. The cottage is very well equipped and sofas and beds so comfy and inviting. Its in a perfect spot in a lovely village. Excellent walks right from the door step and the village has shops, a pub and a number of excellent tea rooms. We had such a great stay and very much hope to return.

Perfect little cottage with everything needed. Exeptional!

Just got back from a amazing weekend stay at lydgate cottage , the cottage was clean and tidy and everything what we need for a enjoyable stay with the dog was there , including your very own parking space and one of the best hot tubs we have ever experienced . .. lovely little village with cafes a little shop and a pub two minute walk away dogs were only allowed in bar area when we went..loads and loads of walks on your doorstep or a short little drive away..great communication with the owner claire and we certainly recommend this cottage to everyone....thanks again

The standard of the accommodation is exceptional, everything has been thought about and the attention to detail is second to none. Fantastic location and stunning walks on the doorstep. We even managed to park our Volkswagen transporter on the drive and close the gates. So perfect we booked our next stay before we had even left, cant wait to go back!

This cottage is stunning. Weve stayed in many across the Lake District, Peak District and Wales and this is amongst the very best. Eyam is a beautiful and peaceful little village and very well located with so many great walks on the doorstep or a short drive. The cottage itself is so well equipped, comfortable and the hot tub is amazing. A couple things I would say you need to consider not negatives but good to know we have a medium sized SUV and it did fit on the drive with the gates closed but if you have a large SUV andor are not such a confident driver you may struggle to park as it is quite tight! Part of the cottages charm is that it does have a few lower ceilingsdoorframes but if youre very tall that might be a challenge! Overall an easy 1010 for us and well be back

This is the most charming and idyllic cottage we have ever stayed in. Such a cosy place to relax with so many quirky features. Love that it is so dog friendly and very clean and well kept. It has everything you need from dressing gowns and toiletries to a dog wash for muddy paws. The hot tub is a bonus too! Eyam is such a pretty village with loads of history. There are so many beautiful walks in the surrounding area too, plenty to do. Weve already booked our third visit and will really look forward to returning. Thank you so very much for a wonderful stay!

The most beautiful and comfortable cottage. ..we didn't want to leave! Comfortable beds, very luxurious. Lovely bottle of fizz and treats on arrival too. The hot tub is the cherry on the top, after long days walking it was utter bliss! The location is wonderful, so much to see in the village, or within a short walk. 6 stars!!!!

Our stay was perfect. Cosy, clean and very comfortable which meant we could relax and unwind for the whole weekend. The kitchen and bathroom are equipped with everything you need, the towels are fluffy and the bed so comfortable wished that we could have stayed longer!

2nd time staying at Lydgate and have already booked to go back Cottage is Beautiful and cozy, everything you need is there even the dog is thought of, very suitable for dogs as it has flagstone floors and a Secure garden Bed is very comfortable and the hot tub is a great addition The village is wonderful so much history to explore, the tearoom, coffee shops and pubs are all very good and the people are very friendly.

Tristan

Thanks for a lovely stay! Beautiful cottage , which ticked every box for us. Quiet location, fully enclosed garden, hot tub and log burner ! Everything has been thought of to make your stay comfortable and the cottage has been decorated and fitted out to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean throughout. The welcome pack with prosecco was a really nice touch. Location wise perfect for us too a couple of minutes walk one way to Eyam village with its pubs and cafes, a couple of minutes walk the other way to the open countryside both of which contain plenty of history ! We will 100 be booking here again

Melissa

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location, very comfortable and the hot tub was a bonus! Everything very clean and well equipped. Excellent communication from the owner. Eyam is a lovely village, had some fantastic meals at the Miners Arms. The museum is definitely worth a visit too. Would definitely return!

Louise

Beautiful well presented cottage. Very clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Well equipped for a weeks holiday. Following some long walks it was wonderful to relax in the hot tub. Lydgate cottage was in an idyllic village and central to some great sights in The Peak District. I would highly recommend this cottage and will be returning in the future.

Amazing cottage, happy to stay here again! Ideal locations with some amazing walks and the hot tub after which was needed.

Can honestly say that this is one of the most beautiful cottages we have ever stayed in and definitely one of the most beautiful villages in Derbyshire with so much history. Dennis our Dachshund had the best time as we didnt need to get in the car to find the best walks, in fact, we didnt need to use the car at all. Hottub was an absolute bonus to what was already an amazing weekend. Cant wait to go back next year!!!

Lorraine

Beautiful cottage with everything you could need and want . The welcome pack was so generous . Everything has been thought of. Hot tub amazing and the village itself was so pretty and interesting. . You could step out from the cottage into some beautiful walks right on your doorstep. Stunning scenery.

Aldarico

Graham

Really pleased with the property. Perfect

It was just fabulous

Lovely cottage, very quiet area. Claire was a star when we were in need of help. Maybe a bit difficult dinner table for toddlers if I have to make any suggestions but in general we were very happy

An excellent property in a perfect location to enjoy the magnificent Peak District. The property is very well presented and guest needs carefully considered. The highlight after a day of walking is of course the hot tub, for which robes and slippers are even provided. A great place for dogs, with their own bed, bowls and biscuits! Garden is secure and a great dog walk straight from the property is available.

Denise

It was a delightful cottage, tastefully furnished, with all the facilities. We enjoyed the hot tub . Unfortunately we didnt spend much time in the pretty garden due to gloomy weather! We would love to stay again.

Beautifully furnished and well equipped cottage. Ideally located. Hot tub a welcome extra after a day of walking. Local pubs serve excellent food. Tight parking but due to instructions given for entering and exiting, it wasn't a problem.

Adrian

We loved the cottage and the attention to detail made by the owner is great. The village history is fascinating. Along with being a great location for walkers there are some good eateries on hand. A brilliant area to visit.

Genuinely, the best cottage we have stayed at, everything was perfect.

A beautiful cottage. Could not fault anything. A beautiful area of history , fantastic walks. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Amanda

A perfect cottage in a perfect location, not to mention the hot tub. Really relaxing after a day out walking. Everything provided was to the highest standard. The owner has thought of everything for their guests' comfort.

Richard

My Wife and I and our 2 dogs absolutely loved Lydgate Cottage. Cosy comfy lounge, big tv, fast broadband, and a decent fire. Nice little conservatory to shelter from weather. Compact kitchen, with everything you need to cook we cooked all bar 1 of our meals. Good size bedroom with vaulted ceiling and a really comfy bed. Bathroom was immaculate and a pleasure to use. Outside the garden was secure and a perfect size for us for the week. Location was perfect too, just off the village centre which has several cafes, pub, & village stores. Plenty of walking from the door, no need to drive anywhere. We only holiday in the Peak District, and have stayed in dozens of cottages all over, and Lydgate is hands down our new favourite.

Debbie

We love this amazing, quirky cottage. It was immaculate inside and out, and the facilities were fantastic. The garden is pretty and it was great to park the car on the drive with the gates closed. One of the reasons we chose the cottage was the hot tub and it really didnt disappoint!! If you have a long vehicle, parking may be more of an issue than my small SUV.

Kathryn

Beautiful cottage. Very organised and had all that you need. Thank you for such a wonderful few days.

Richard

A lovely restored cottage, with everything you need. Eyam is a great location for exploring the Derbyshire dales, with great walks & pubs all near by. A stay at Lydgate cottage, I would highly recommend.

Louise

A beautiful cottage, well presented with a cosy feel and everything you need for a comfortable selfcatering break. Ideally situated for exploring the Peak District with local walks and places to eat & drink.

As a family we had a really good time and even with all the walking round there too come back rain or shine and get into the hot tub.

We had a wonderful stay at Lydgate Cottage. The property has been beautifully done and was comfy and cosy for us and our two dogs. Eyam is also a great base from which to explore the stunning local countryside, with a seemingly inexhaustible network of walking trails in all directions. We were able to clock up over 50 miles of hiking without needing to get in the car. There is then the bonus of the hot tub at the end of a days exploring, plus a good choice of places in Eyam to go for a meal and a drink. All in all, a fantastic trip and we fully intend to visit Lydgate Cottage again in the future.

The property is very well equipped, and a lot of attention to detail made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I have already recommended the cottage to friends and we will certainly consider returning ourselves at some time in the future.

Beautiful cottage , wonderfully decorated and hot tub was wonderful after a long day walking !

Amanda

Couldn't fault the village location with so many towns and villages to visit such as Bakewell, Matlock baths and Buxton. We can't wait to go back again

Wow what a find. . Beautiful cottage with everything you need,We had a great week despite the weather,Owners very friendly and helpful, bed comfortable we slept very well, kitchen well stocked with everything we needed, our dog was even thought of, very secure garden, We made good use of the hot tub, Village is lovely with all the amenities you need.
