The cottage is in a great location in the heart of Cromford, with amazing local amenities such as the outstanding Scarthin Books, The Boat Inn, The Greyhound and two fish and chip shops to choose from. Cromford Mills was particularly lovely - we wish we spent more time there. The cottage is clearly newly refurbished, leading to a high quality finish and meant the house was warm and cosy. A few more minor elements in the house would have gone a really long way to making the cottage more livable. Basic things such as sponges for washing up, bin bags and a decent bin, salt and pepper, coffee machine (as per the description) and some decent pots and pans would go a really long way. Made cooking a roast challenging! Overall we had a great time, and the cottage is finished to a high standard in a great location. A few quality-of-life improvements would make a huge difference to making the cottage an absolute winner.

Stayed in the cottage so we could visit family and friends. A few disappointing things no chair to sit on at dresing table. Dirty oven, had to buy a frying pan as it wasn't in a good condition, no welcome pack, luckily I had took my own cloths etc as nothing provided, no bin liners. Was pleased with how clean the cottage was though
