A lovely week in a neat little village.

A lovely week in the Peak District countryside in a small country village. The cottage was everything we wished for, centrally located between the larger towns that we visited over the week that we stayed. Wonderful hosts that made us welcome.

Lovely Cottage but not as expected

The cottage was lovely and the owner had thought of everything you could possibly need to stay. The location was lovely too. However I did ask the owner a few questions relating to the set up of the cottage which was important to us as we took 2 dogs who can be reactive around other dogs and wanted to ensure it was private. I was told it was fully enclosed and private which it is not. The cottage is at right angles to the owners family members cottage, they have a dog which we were not told about which caused issues with ours. There was no privacy at all as you looked out onto each others cottages and it felt like you are on top of each other. The owner asked that the dogs be kept downstairs but it is open plan to get upstairs and we were also not aware that the bedroom is a mezzanine floor with no door just a curtain. Every attempt was made to keep the dogs downstairs but even if they do manage to escape upstairs there is no way of stopping them from entering the bedroom. There is no washing line to hang washing as shown in the pictures and the barbecue is broken so no barbecue either. These are not major things but had we know about the open plan and the lack of privacy and the dog next door we would not have booked so this cottage was not really ideal for us. That said it is a lovely place to stay and would be ideal for anyone without reactive dogs who doesn't mind overlooking another cottage.

Coach House

Vrbo misled me about accommodation. Your photos were totally wrong They showed one double bed in the main bedroom and a smaller bed but when I arrived there was a bunk bed in a much smaller room with a small window, nothing like the photo. HadIseenthis on your website I would never have booked the property The owner removed the top bunk, which made lt more comfortable for me.

Perfect cottage for our family.

We had a really great time here. Going anywhere with 2 young boys is always a worry with how suitable it would be, but The Coach House was perfect. They absolutely loved the bunk beds and the play area outside. We had more than enough space for the 4 of us. The cottage was well equipped for us to self cater for the week and it was lovely and clean. The location is perfect for exploring the Peak District including Matlock and Matlock Bath which is where we would also go to the supermarket. Nigel was an excellent host and really made us feel very welcome as well as the great family next door. We had a great holiday and are looking forward to the returning in the future. Thank you!

Fantastic 10 days, lovely cottage

Wonderful stone converted coach house, very cosy, helpful owner, lots of bits and bobs in the cupboards, everything thought of, good sized rooms too… great facilities and a huge amount of logs and kindling supplied for the wood burner. Heating system worked brilliantly when we needed it as we were snowed in last two days. The perfect place to walk from direct, We found wonderful walks from our doorstep. Very peaceful and quiet setting. Highly recommended - thanks Nigel!

Cottage

The cottage is advertised as Limestone cottage on VRBO but the actual name of cottage is The Coach House,we had terrible trouble finding it we happened to bump into the cottage owners mother and she said she would take us to cottage after telling her the owner is called Nigel. otherwise the cottage is great and has everything you need you do need a car as it is remote.

The Coach House

Lovely old building in a fabulous location with everything we needed inside and enclosed garden outside plus use of the grass field behind for the dogs to walk and play in. Nigel the owner and all of his family there on the surrounding farm were very welcoming and friendly, good communications prior to arriving after booking, thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Remote vintage, dog-friendly coach house

The property is an updated coach house with vintage charm that is situated on a former farm amid the family-owned properties. It was quite difficult to find in the dark on arrival (access is past a farm courtyard and there isn't any phone signal), but the remoteness meant lots of quiet and calm. We went there for its remoteness to get some end-of-year work done and to have some outdoor space for our miniature dachshund. The property has a small, fully enclosed garden that is escape-proof even for tiny dogs. You also get access to a very large grassy field that is fully enclosed and where the dog is allowed to run around. The owner Nigel was very lovely and responsive and came by regularly to check-in on whether everything was alright and to refill the wood for the furnace. The house comes with a large and a small towel per person and bedsheets. For longer stays, a change of towels and more than one kitchen towel might be helpful! We ended up using the washing machine to clean the ones we had, and would recommend providing a drying rack in the house. The furnace was definitely a highlight and so was the quiet. One suggestion might be to add a space heater upstairs, since the house is a bit drafty (as to be expected given it's from the 1650s or so!) and the master bedroom is in an open space/the stairway as part of a gallery and there's no heater. Either way, we'd definitely come back again :)

Fabulous Family Break In the Peak District

We had a wonderful time at Nigel's cottage in Aldwark A week in the October half term with our 2 boys, 10 and 12 and the dog. Nigel and his family made us feel so welcome, loaded us up with firewood for the wood burner and gave us great tips for dog friendly walks We had brilliant weather and did a couple of big hikes on the Peaks as well as just enjoying the cottage and the fields behind Thank you Nigel, we will be back, Anna and Family

Aldwark stay

Property was as listed and had read several reviews . Perfect for 2 adults and our dog, fenced off garden so we relax knowing our dog was safe. Rural location but only 20 minutes or less to Buxton, 15 to ashbourne, matlock or bakewell. Several local pubs but check online opening times especially if you would like food.

Nice stay

Nice, cosy, traditional cottage. Mostly quiet location but the yard is shared with the owners son and children, so not always very private! My children liked playing out with them on their trampoline though 😊 The owner and his family are around and available for any help you need. Very friendly and welcoming. Kitchen has all the things needed for cooking. Things to note: The main bedroom is more of a mezzanine level above the lounge with curtains rather than a wall. Not a problem for us though really. There is a sofa bed so the cottage can sleep 6, but it would be very cosy!! The only negative for me that it was a shame the nice views are not very visible from inside the cottage as the main windows look out onto the yard. A bigger sofa would be better. The 2 chairs are not ideal for relaxing in front of the tv on an evening.

A relaxing and enjoyable week away

Rurally located in a lovely small hamlet yet within very close driving distance of Matlock, Bakewell and a host of other great places to visit and walk, the cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. Nigel was there to greet us on arrival which was nice and explained everything we needed to know however there is all the information needed in a folder should you need it. We needed to let Nigel know about the toaster which had stopped working which we could manage without using the oven grill but in record time, a replacement was provided! Nigel and other family members we met were very friendly. We had our daughters dog with us for the week and he settled in straight away. Would recommend staying at the old coach house.

Lovely cottage

Its situated in a quiet rural area which is what we wanted as it was for our babymoon. Its quaint with lovely knick knacks and a real fire!! The Internet works enough for streaming. The neighbours are really friendly. The cottage was clean throughout. I read on an earlier review the bed is uncomfortable, it's not!! It's so comfy, my boyfriend struggles to sleep normally and he slept like a baby. There was a problem with the heat when we arrived but Nigel sorted this out as fast as he could and was informative throughout the whole process and answered his phone fast etc. The information book was great, we went to the recommended Italian restaurant, the food was AMAZING!! We definitely will come back once our baby is born and holiday here in the future. Highly recomment. Thanks
