Woodthorpe Cruck Cottage Reviews

Wonderful stay. Great facilities. Just a couple of things 1. Could definitely do with a sign at the gate entrance. Everyone got it wrong the first time around even with instructions ! 2. Lock needed on main bathroom door . Had a couole of embarrassing moments! 3. More cutlery if possible 4. Instructions for oven use please Had an amazing time otherwise. Thank you so much

Beautiful house and area . ...could hear every movement made upstairs due to the creeking floorboards and did wake a few of our party up in the night if anyone got up to use the toilet.

We all had a wonderful time at the cottage, such a peaceful and relaxing time away. The hot tub was fantastic, as were all the other amenities. Thank you for hosting!

Charlea

Absolutely amazing! The most beautiful cottage ever. We had such a peaceful stay, beautiful surroundings, a beautiful clean cottage. The owners were very helpful if we needed anything. I would definitely come back and recommend this cottage to others. Me & my family spent Easter weekend here, we had lots of fun, the hot tub was amazing, the cottage had everything we needed. Theres a beautiful pub down the road the hunloke arms which served 1010 food. Thankyou so much to the owners for being so helpful and for also providing a beautiful stay.

Georgina

This is a lovely cottage which is in a very private location. On the whole the cottage is wellstocked with most of the things needed for a week away. The hot tub was appreciated and used daily. The milk shed at the end of the driveway was amazing. Any issues were dealt with very quickly. Thanks Steve and team.

Richard

We very much enjoyed our stay at Woodthorpe Cruck Cottage. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The views are lovely and the hottub is a real bonus.

Hannah

We had an amazing weekend, the cottage is beautiful and clean.

Samantha

Great secluded cottage, very clean and had everything we needed. Having the washing machine and dryer was a huge help and the hot tub was a bonus. Hope to return again.

We had a great stay in this lovely property. Visited lots of places from here including Chatsworth House, Heights of Abraham, Dovetale Stepping Stones, Mam Tor and Peak Wildlife Park. The cottage was well equipped, very comfortable and the hot tub was great after a busy day. The welcome box was also a lovely addition. Just remember to take a shaver adapter for shaver or electric toothbrush. Luckily we took manual brushes too. Would definitely return if visiting the area again or recommend to friends and family.

We have just returned from a lovely weekend stay in this beautiful house. We have had such an amazing weekend celebrating our birthdays, so much so we have just rebooked to return next year. Cannot thank Steve and team enough, lovely welcome basket, house is beautifully restored and has lovely finishing touches and everything you need is there. Lots of laughs in the hot hub, can't wait to return next year!

Lyndsey

We would highly recommend this cottage. Beautiful property with a secluded location and lovely views. The thoughtful little extras from the owners were very much appreciated. Thank you.

Had a really lovely stop. ..easy to find...Great views and walks...fully recommend especially with the hot tub....very central to explore...

We had a fabulously chilled weekend away at Woodthorpe Cruck. The welcome hamper was amazing, and everything was really clean. Loved being in the country side. Would highly recommend.

Spacious rooms, serene locale and ideally located for activities for the whole family. Lumsdale falls, Matlock park and Heights of Abraham were highlights of our stay. Fresh breads and cakes on offer at the quaint vending machine system at the entrance to the property. Forgot kids' TV connector, which the hosts kindly agreed to dispatch via mail!! Amazing experience and highly recommended!

Steven

Lovely place and surroundings, the squeaky 1st floor could do with being looked at. And the twin room roof light would benefit from a blackout blind.

Great stay at this lovely property. Good facilities and nice little touches provided like fresh bread and cake on arrival. Beautiful and peaceful location.

This is a brilliant booking. The cottage is gorgeous, and a great location. Close enough to walk to the local village and a short drive to the town for shops and lots of walks around aswell as a drive into the peaks. Lots of space and room in the cottage to be comfortable without feeling on top of each other. We are looking at going back again next year.

Stuart

Great property but would really benefit from a sign at the bottom of the lane as both us and the taxis found it extremely difficult to find.

Alaynia

Fantastic short break from start to finish. The setting was idyllic , the cottage was beautiful , great facilities. Cant wait to return.

Shannon

Amazing place, highly recommend

Jennifer

Lovely cottage equipped with everything we could need in the kitchen. Great use of the hot tub, robes would be a great addition. Perfect location for both local walks or a short drive and your in the peaks.

Debbie

Absolutely lovely cottage, everything there you could possibly need, lovely ... Absolutely lovely cottage, everything there you could possibly need, lovely views, in the middle if no where, very rustic with wooden beams, beds extremely comfy and the hot tub was fab, will definitely be returning x

Absolutely amazing accomadation, could not fault and would definitely recommend

Kristina

Well equipped and well appointed cottage for a group of 6. Lovely kitchen and furnishings, plenty of crockery and utensils. We had pizzas delivered one night, and got a taxi there and back to a pub no problem. Hot tub and towels very nice. Gorgeous rural location. The only downside was the terrible smell emanating from the downstairs wet room has been mentioned on previous reviews This rendered that room unusable for us, so all 6 had to use the upstairs bathroom. Otherwise a nice weekend stay

Beautiful location and a very well equipped house. Hot tub was big, and the house was lovely and warm. Although the house is surrounded by fields and feels very private, it is only 6 minutes drive to a big supermarket.

We had such a wonderful stay at Woodthorpe Cruck Cottage, it's super cosy with tons of home comforts included we definitely overpacked! The welcome package was a fab touch and so thoughtful. The beds are also really comfy, we slept like logs. The kitchen and utility room is well stocked and every small detail is thought of. The location is peaceful and secluded, although supermarkets are just a short drive away for grabbing any essentials. We also had a lovely afternoon tea at Stretton Hall Farm nearby I'd definitely recommend stopping by! The only small downsides was the underfloor heating was a bit too warm, even on the lower setting we ended up opening the windows and doors a couple of times not exactly a big issue at all. There was also an occasional sulphurlike smell from the sink and shower drains, but we put this down to the rural location. Overall, we'd not hesitate to visit again in the future and would highly recommend the cottage to others.

Rachel

Great secluded position, beautiful cottage more than adequately equipped for our party of six. Local walks on the doorstep all in all a fabulous stay and a cottage to which we will return

Sheila

Lovely spacious cottage in a peaceful location. Handy for local tourist attractions. Hot tub an added bonus and great to come back to after a day out and about.

Louise

A really lovely place and the location also fantastic nice and rural. It has quirks of an old cottage in a rural location but the underfloor heating was a welcome treat! Hot tub great too. Recommend adding some slabs between the back door and the hot tub so you can walk across more easily! Thanks again for a great stay

Rachel

Such a beautiful place! Peaceful and beautifully restored cottage with everything you need including a lovely hot tub. Communication was great with the owners who answered my questions when needed. Views were fab, nothing better than sitting in the evening listening to owls hooting. Definitely a change from the main road we live on! Lots of info about the cottage and surrounding areas. Only slight negative was there is an issue with drain smell now and again and the washing machine and tumble are a little dated but none of which spoiled the stay. Will definitely go back and recommend!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage. The property is spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities you need for a stress free stay. The owners have thought of everything you might need and also left a rather lovely welcome basket. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. There are towels for this so you dont need to bring anything. The views were wonderful and the kids enjoyed seeing the cows and the tractors every now and then while they played in the very well kept garden. The location is perfect for getting to all the Derbyshire attractions. My only feedback would be that the hoover could do with updating as its not great at picking up the crumbs on the kitchen floor. Other than that, a truly lovely stay and we hope to return again. Would definitely recommend this wonderful cottage.

Merrik

We had a lovely stay in Woodthorpe Cruck. Nice quiet location, well equipped cottage and the hot tub. Lovely area too and convenient for anywhere in the Peaks. Watch out for the squeaky floorboards though!

A lovely house, plenty of room and really comfortable. Good facilities. It would be nice if the floors and doors weren't quite so creaky, but otherwise great.

Elliott

A lovely place to relax and get away from a busy city life, especially with the hot tub and 100 acres of field to gaze across. Very spacious, always warm due to the underfloor heating and provided a peaceful night sleep. The welcome basket with produce from the local farm was a nice touch also. The only negative would be the cleanliness, namely plates and glasses that still had food residue on when we arrived and smells coming from almost every drain and tap in the house. Fridge and dishwasher could do with being replaced also due to wear and tear. There are cobwebs and creaky floorboards but that is understandable for a house that old. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to a comfortable break from a stressful life.

Lindsey

The cottage was gorgeous and we had an amazing stay here. We were allowed an earlier get in and a later check out which was a lovely surprise. Beautiful stay. Was only missing a few bits that would have been useful like sponges for washing up and salt but easily picked up at the nearby shops! Perfect stay
