Moor Farm Cottage Reviews

Amanda

A lovely property, very well equipped and had everything we needed. Nice location and friendly helpful owners.

Moore Farm Cottage, is what it says on the tin, beautifuly furnished, much larger than it looks, hot tub , gym, large living area and kitchen, 2 amazing sized bedrooms, very modern bath room, auto lighting in hallway, Owners Andrew and Lesley were amazing, they supplied us with a welcome pack all locally sourced lovely organic food. My wife also recieved birthday pressent and a card from them both much appreciated thank you so much. lovely place perfectly placed for visiting the peak district.

Samantha

We had a wonderful stay at Moor Farm Cottage. The cottage exceeded our expectations, there really wasn't anything more we could have asked for. We made sure to take advantage of the hot tube and the BBQ. It might be worth including in the booking info for guests to bring charcoal to be able to use the BBQ. My only other suggestion is to be maybe include a warning in the booklet about the shower temperature which gets incredibly hot if someone accidentally uses a tap whilst someone is in the shower! Andrew was really helpful with giving tips on local pubs and restaurants. From his recommendations we had a lovely meal at Kelstedges Inn and Kathmandu Gurka. Moor Farm Cottage was a perfect base to explore the Peaks and all it has to offer. Would highly recommend!

Amazing holiday cottage and a fantastic stay! Andrew was amazing and very helpful. Definitely would book and stay again.

Moor Farm Cottage was a lovely spacious well equipped place to stay. The owners were very generous with everything they left for us, nothing was to much trouble. Cottage is in a great location for getting out and about. A truly relaxing stay!

Geoffrey

A lovely property with everything you would want for an enjoyable stay. Locally sourced welcome basket, fresh flowers in every room and all the toiletries provided. Would thoroughly recommend for a stay in Derbyshire.

Philip

The welcome pack was great, and the breakfast hamper was very good value for money. The produce from a local shop was brilliant and prompted a visit to buy more from there. All the facilities in the accommodation were of a very high standard and so comfortable. The gym was very well equipped with firstclass machines, and the hot tub was so good at the end of a day out. The leaflets provided great ideas of places to visit, and there was plenty to see and do nearby.. All in all a great place to stay.

Robert

What a gorgeous holiday cottage and a fantastic holiday from start to finish. The provision of flowers and a welcome pack, and the information provided personally by the owner on arrival was superb. As was the breakfast package that we had ordered before our arrival. The accommodation is lovely with all the home comforts that we could wish for and the bonus of a hot tub and gym. Comfortable beds, a well appointed kitchen, dining area and living space. The outside areas are excellent and we were very lucky with the weather, so made the most of the excellent outdoor furniture. There are also some lovely countryside walks that start from the door of the cottage Although it is a steep climb back from the village. We asked the owners for some advice about the local area and took advantage of this to visit the excellent Old Poets Corner Pub for some very nice beers and ciders, and the Ashover Farm shop for some lovely local produce to enjoy a meal prepared by ourselves in the cottage on our last evening. We would definitely recommend this property for a stay in this lovely part of the world, and would love to return for another holiday in the future.

My sister and I recently returned from 5 days at Moor Farm Cottage, it was absolutely fabulous! Weve stayed in quite a few holiday cottages but this has to be the best. The setting is fantastic, we really enjoyed the outside space with a huge hot tub and quality sun loungers. The inside of the cottage was brilliant, both large bedrooms had really comfortable beds. The two bathrooms were a real bonus and very luxurious. Every part of the cottage was spacious with every amenity you could think of, from the array of kitchen utensils to the complementary body puffs, the owners have thought of everything. We will definitely be back to Moor Farm Cottage and have already recommended it to friends and family. Thank you to Andrew for such a warm welcome and a great holiday venue.

Really well appointed cottage with real attention to detail and quality . The fresh flowers were a lovely touch as was the welcome pack of local items. All of the rooms were really spacious . The cottage itself is well placed for all the locations we wanted to visit. Plenty of places to eat nearby .

We were looking for a last minute stay and we totally lucked out with Andrew and Lesleys property. My husband didnt want to travel far due to health reasons, so we wanted a hot tub and some countryside and we got that in abundance. Our host, Andy, met us on arrival and gave us a comprehensive run down, which really helped. The property is stunning and literally had everything you needed. Our card, flowers and hamper were a lovely touch and really made us feel welcome and we had the opportunity to have a breakfast hamper too, which was locally sourced and delicious. The beds were so comfy, the hot tub was amazing and the views were absolutely stunning. We lucked out with the weather too. Thank you for your hospitality. We highly recommend your property.

Debbie

Lovely cottage with everything you could want, we all enjoyed the Hot Tub and Gym. Flowers were also lovely and the welcome gifts tasted good

Sharon

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed. The cottage is situated in an ideal place not far from many places worth a visit

A beautiful cottage surrounded by peaceful countryside, perfect for a relaxing break but within easy driving distance to towns & restaurants. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the owners obviously took great pride in it as their attention to detail was evident. The outside spaces included lots of seating & a large hot tub. There was also a lovely welcome pack and we certainly made the most of all the goodies inside. We stay in a lot of cottages in England and this is certainly up there as one of the best. Honestly couldnt fault anything & the hosts were attendant & friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Tracey

Great property. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. Lovely welcome from the owners who showed us round the property on arrival. Excellent welcome pack. Photos really dont do it justice.

We had a lovely stay. The cottage is spacious, modern and wellmaintained and the owners clearly go out of their way to make every stay as good as they can. There were a couple of features that didn't quite work for us. There is a lovely rustic table in the dining area, but it's not ideal for those with severe food allergies. Bright automatic lights in the hall made it challenging with young children. The view from the back was beautiful.

A beautifully decorated and maintained cottage, the owners have thought of every little thing to make it a homefromhome stay with added luxuries throughout. Clean, comfortable and so well equipped with lovely views from the little garden. We didnt feel the need to even venture out much as our two young boys loved being there so much. We hope to be able to book again in the summer months.

A lovely cottage, warm, clean, comfortable and very well furnished and equipped. The hot tub was an added plus. The location is great. We visited Bakewell, Matlock, The Great British Car Journey, Cromford Mills, Blue John Cavern all within easy reach. The owners have gone the extra mile to provide everything needed we always take a box full of essentials e.g. cling, tin foil, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, salt and pepper.. but didn't need any of them. We will return, maybe next time when the weather is a bit warmer!

Jeremy

A really lovely stay in a great cottage. You could tell the owners really went above and beyond to welcome us. The thoughtful welcome pack and flowers were an added bonus. Would love to visit again sometime. Thank you

Sharon

Lovely cottage, fitted and equipped to a high standard. Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Outside areas were lovely and hot tub was great. Beds were very comfortable. Gym was a good extra. Thoughtful welcome pack. Village and local facilities easily accessible. Walks from out the door. Altogether a lovely experience.

Very good stay nice hosts clean modern tidy house thanx

Claire

The property exceeded our expectations. It was in an ideal location for visiting Matlock, Bakewell and Chatsworth and for walking in the Peak District. The cottage was warm, very clean and well furnished. It had everything you needed for a comfortable break with lots of little luxurious touches, plus a lovely hot tub. The owners were very welcoming and the welcome and breakfast hampers were great . Lots of places to buy and eat delicious food. We would highly recommend it for a stay in this area.

We had a fantastic stay at Moor Farm cottage. Andrew met us on arrival and showed us round which was nice. We received a lovely welcome pack and had fresh flowers these little touches are a great addition. The property is warm, welcoming and spacious and is finished to a high standard. We would definitely recommend to others.

Jennifer

High quality accommodation. Pictures are accurate. Lovely welcome pack on arrival and fresh flowers. Great location for access to the Peaks and motorway. Would gladly stay again.

Jasdeep

We had a fabulous stay at the Moor farm cottage. Andrew was kind enough to greet us on our arrival late in the night and gave us a complete tour of the house, gave us good local recommendations and shared the experience of building the cottage. The place has more than everything one needs during a holiday. Its very tastefully done. We used the hot tub everyday. We will surely be coming back.

Just returned from a weeks break at this fabulous cottage . We were greeted by Andrew who showed us round and explained where everything was .Cant speak highly enough of the facilities everything and more that you would expect in a holiday cottage .The hospitality basket and fresh flowers were a lovely surprise and the hot tub most welcome .We hope to return soon and would recommend to anyone .Thank you to Andrew and Lesley who go the extra to make you feel welcome

We had a lovely stay at Moor Farm Cottage, it is furnished to a high standard and was extremely clean. We have stayed in many cottages and lodges but this is the first time where there was just everything you could think of it was very well equipped. Welcome pack was lovely all local goodies.

Thank you we will definitely be back

Hi, what an amazing cottage. It has everything you could possibly think of. So well furnished too. Hosts were so accommodating and even arranged a birthday cake and decorations for my sisters birthday. Hot tub was also perfect. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Andrew and Leslie always on hand Went the extra mile to make sure our stay was perfect. Cottage was amazing everything you could want and more a real credit to the owners.

Enjoyed a quiet week ,cottage was as listed and better. Beds and settee comfy,kitchen well equipped,great wifi,warm and cosy as the weather wasnt great. Made good use of the gym,some nice local walks and of course the hot tub. Andrew met us on arrival and showed us round the property ,was on hand but we didnt need anything. Thanks for the welcome pack ,and the comprehensive booklet for all in and around the cottage

Gorgeous cottage. A real modern homely feel. Everything you could wantneed catered for, great host, lovely extra touches on arrival. Clean, quiet, fantastic scenery and cottage, chairs and hot tub positioned perfectly to allow you to be able to enjoy this with a chance to sit out front to watch the sunrise and sitting in the hot tub or at the table out the back allows you to watch the gorgeous sun set in this idyllic countryside location. Had an amazing few days and would highly recommend.

Caroline

We were met on arrival by one of the owners who showed us around and explained everything and was also contactable for any queries. The cottage was much bigger than it looked online. Very comfortable and we would definitely recommend. The hot tub and gym were great. Local area was beautiful and Matlock only approx a 15 minute drive away.

Very clean cottage,with large rooms. in a great location in quiet countryside yet only a short drive from towns and places to visit, Owners very friendly and helpful.

Wow, what a lovely cottage. We were welcomed to the property and showed around by Andrew, the welcome pack of chocolates, coffee, tea and fresh flowers were a lovely touch. The local farm breakfast pack of sausages, eggs, bacon, hash brown, mushrooms, tomatoes apple juice, oatcakes, milk ensured the Saturday started off well. We made use of the hot tub on three occasions, despite the wind and rain and it was great. The gym was also used over the weekend and this is a lovely addition to the cottage. Plenty of places locally to eat out and the food was lovely. We ate at the Black Swan in Ashover and The Kelstege Inn. What an amazing property, would thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting to have a relaxing break away. Thank you Andrew and Lesley
