Cleanliness is repeatedly praised, with guests describing the cottage as spotless, well-presented, and very clean throughout. No significant negative comments were made regarding cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded for its peaceful village setting, proximity to the Peak District, and convenient access to local attractions and a nearby pub. Some mention the need for a car due to limited public transport and distance from shops, but overall feedback is very positive.

Facilities are described as excellent, with the cottage being well-equipped for families and groups. Suggestions for improvement include sharper kitchen knives and clearer fire safety labelling, but these are minor compared to the overall satisfaction with amenities.

We stayed at Perkins cottage with 4 friends for a weekend. We had a great time. It’s a lovely country cottage, comfortable and cosy in the middle of a small village, 2 mins walk to an excellent pub/restaurant. There are great views across the valley. Several tourist attractions are within 30 mins drive. We enjoyed a day in Chatsworth Park and Matlock.
