What our customers say about us
We stayed with friends and found it to be everything that we hoped for. The hosts are charming and are a mine of local knowledge. We eat out on a number of occasions, twice at Lupos, an Italian on the doorstep of Chatsworth, very good food and lovely staff. You will not be disappointed with this gem as a destination.

We wanted somewhere peaceful and cozy to crash out for a few days R&R and Cavendish Cottage was perfect. Quiet secluded location, yet less than 10 minutes drive from Matlock. Plenty of good pubs and a farm shop within a couple of minutes drive. The cottage is very well equipped and we lacked for nothing. Good quality beds and bedding. Great communication with the owners before and during our stay and although they live next door and were in hand if we needed anything, they were very discreet and totally respected our privacy. We were sad to leave and hope to return soon

Cavendish Cottage is a real find! Beautifully decorated, the kitchen is great, and the beds comfy. We loved the woodburner, and it made it really cosy in the evenings in the living room when lit. It's secluded down a narrow lane, though there are other houses around. We loved our stay, wish it had been longer than 3 days!

Probably the best cottage that we have stayed in, in terms of quality of the accommodation. It is only a couple of minutes from the village where the Old Poets Inn is recommended. The cottage is a good location for access to Matlock and the Peak District. We love walking, and this was an ideal base. Since we have a dog, the fact that she was welcome at the cottage meant that she enjoyed the holiday, too.

Home from home, everything provided. Quite location at the end of a long narrow lane, very peaceful. A welcome pack of useful necessaries was a welcome surprise. The rooms were immaculate and luxurious and first impressions got us of to a good start. Highly recommended.

“Beautifully appointed getaway” This cottage more than lived up to the previous reviews. Quiet location, very nicely appointed, room for 2 cars. The Kelstedge Inn is a 10 minute walk and pubs in Ashover a 5 minute drive. Lots of gentle walks from the door, a great weekend meeting up with our son and his girlfriend.

A first rate holiday cottage. The owner has thought of everything you need. Would love to visit again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

“Fantastic Cottage” This is a beautiful place to stay. All your needs are catered for with quality furnishings and high class fixtures. The kitchen has everything you need, dishwasher, washing machine etc. The owners are very friendly and very helpful. We found the fenced area great for our two dogs as they were able to have a little walk round on their own. The setting is lovely, very quiet but close enough to the small village or a little further to Matlock or Chesterfield. We had a very relaxing break over the New Year, thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to return in the future.

We went in December for a weekend break and loved it. Such a rural location, peacefully surrounded by lovely scenery yet so close to Matlock, Chatsworth Estate and a short drive to the Peak District, with excellent opportunities for great walks nearby too. The cottage itself is spacious, with a gorgeous interior; the quintessential barn conversion with all mod cons but where else has its own stone circle in the garden and llamas on the field? The wood burner was just perfect for the winter weekend although the cottage was certainly warm enough without it. The owners Helen and Andy cannot do any more to help you enjoy your stay, with excellent local knowledge for touring, walking and making the most of your stay. Having a bath as well as showers is a bonus rarely found in cottage rentals, yet perfect for soaking after a long walk. I'd recommend you book here, as you'll certainly want to come back again once you have.
