The Carriage House was warm, clean and very comfortable.. It had everything you needed very modern and the box of Thorntons left for us was a lovely thought too.

Excellent facilities in the carriage house and in a great location for exploring the local area.. Would definitely stay here again.

The Carriage House is beautiful and the location is excellent.. The only issue that we had was the sofa beds. They are not comfortable in the slightest; to sit on or to sleep on. Which is a big problem when the house is advertised for 7 people as the two sofa beds are classed as two beds. All the other beds are very comfortable and the welcome chocolates was a lovely touch. Ignoring the sofa beds, we had a great stay and would definitely stay there again.

The cottage is lovely, with a fantastic mix of old features.. We particularly enjoyed the kitchen. The location is great, within about 20-30 min drive from some great walks, and Cromford is very pretty. We were a little surprised there was a lack of some basic facilities for such an otherwise well stocked kitchen - no corkscrew, no cooking oil, no tin foil. In the bedrooms, while the beds were really comfortable, there was a skylight window in both which doesn’t have a blind - meaning we were all woken up earlier than we’d have liked by the sun. I would suggest getting a blind for these, as it was really quite irritating. Also neither tv in the bedroom worked, despite getting instructions on how to put them on. The cottage itself was a little cold, especially when we arrived which was about 11pm. We couldn’t get it to come on to the temperature we’d liked, perhaps radiators need bleeding after the summer, but again this would be something we’d suggest looking at. All in all a great place and a good price, but some small annoyances preventing it from being perfect!

The place was an interesting accommodation very clean, However we were a little surprised when we arrived and there were no basic supplies there.. This is the eighth self catering we have used in England and was the first that did not have basic supplies such as dish soap, salt, pepper, extra toilet tissue, sugar and enough tea and coffee for a couple of days. The beds were very comfortable, however the leather sofas in the living area were hard and away too low to be comfortable to sit on for any length of time, especially for us Senior Citizens. We had to bring out the pillows from the beds to make them comfortable enough to sit and watch TV. I would recommend getting rid of at least one of them and putting in a couple of easy chairs that are higher off the floor. On the whole we enjoyed our stay and liked that it was close enough to things that we could walk where we wanted to go, even though we had a rented car. R. Junkin

Mr Roberts

Lovely quirky holiday apartment with many interesting design features and a welcoming atmosphere.. Location is good, too, with a choice of places to eat and drink virtually on the doorstep and an ideal base for walks of varying lengths and features.

Lovely accommodation.. Perfect. Everything we wanted to see was on the doorstep and the weather helped. Beds were so comfy and the en suite facilities were great. We got chocolates on arrival and Jennie left her contact details in case we needed anything. Can't praise the whe experience enough. Large family table to sit around was great. Thank you so much.

Miss Loi

The building is clean, new and modern.. Me and my family had enjoyed our 3 nights stay here a lot. The cottage is fully equipped with kitchen utensils so it's really useful if you want to cook a family meal. The cottage is also very close to its town and a big supermarket sainsburys is 10mins drive away. We would definitely return and recommend the Carriage House to anyone visiting the Peak District!

Ms Khan

Absolutely amazing! The cottage was well set up with everything we needed. The kitchen had all relevant equipment needed for cooking. Cottage was cosy and clean. Set up like a hotel which was great. A brilliant experience!

We had a really enjoyable break in this lovely cottage with lovely days out and walks on the door step, there are some great attractions nearby including the heights of Abraham and Crich Tramway Village that we all really enjoyed as well as being close to Alton Towers.. The only dampener for us was the uncomfortable sofas, as we had children we came back on an evening rather than go out, we enjoy watching a film or TV, the smart TV was a great set up for this but the sofas meant we found it very uncomfortable to sit for any length of time, I think these were chosen as sofa beds to maximize the amount of people this cottage could sleep. I wouldn't advertise this for 7 people its quite fine for 5 but any more feels crowded as we had 2 people come over who stayed nearby and found this to be the case. Overall i would recommend this cottage its a great base to explore the local area and the cottage is done up to a great standard an old building with a modern interior and facilities. I would recommend it even more so if the sofas were changed.

Miss Parkes

Our experience of staying at the Carriage House was excellent.. The arrangements with the owners worked very well and we had everything we needed for our weekend stay. We were only there for the weekend but if I were staying longer it would be nice to have slightly cosier sofas. Thank you for helping us to enjoy our weekend

An absolutely stunning period property in a charming location.. Immaculate and stylish furnishings, well equipped kitchen. Luxury bathrooms and comfortable beds. Good choice of places to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner within walking distance of the property. A wealth of pleasant villages, such as Matlock, a short drive away.
