Really beautiful house with all the facilities you need while on holiday there. The house was exceptionally clean with comfy beds and finished to a high standard. We loved the hot tub and outside areas which we were able to enjoy in the sunshine. The house is in a good location and we enjoyed meals in, as well as The Boat Inn, The Greyhound and Par kys which are all within a few minutes walk. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend and hope to return :)
Nichola
The house is perfectly situated for dog walkers and people who love to walk with a view. Quite hilly but worth it. The house has such a lovely view sat in the garden or front room. The hottub was great. We will definitely be back. Good walks Cromford canal (beautiful), black rocks just 20 min very hilly walk, Mathlock Bath 20 mins walk. Or both jus t a couple of mins in car.

We stayed at Dawn's House for a long weekend to celebrate a 40th birthday and we could not have picked a better place to stay! The house itself is beautifully decorated and comfortable, just like a home from home. There were thoughtful little touches throughout, from the chocolates and biscuits to the face masks and bubblebath. The location is abso lutely stunning and there is so much to do in the local area. We would absolutely recommend staying here and we will definitely be coming back to stay

We had a lovely holidays in this little cottage with such a nice view. I love to watch sunrise from the window. I love design of this place, everything is practical, beautiful and comfortable. Its nice to be there with children and dogs. I enjoyed go for a quiet walk with dogs through the woods, walk path has started just outside of the door. So mu ch to do with little ones. There are tramway village and Gullivers park so close. Our 4 years old loved it:) I would recommend this place:)

Really lovely property, very clean, tidy, welcoming and family friendly it was home from home, it is also conveniently located. We didn't have the key safe details and the owners kindly texted us these which was really helpful. They also have a folder with very helpful information about facilities in the area

Lovely house, everything was spotlessly clean. Hot tub was a real bonus. Dogs well accommodated with foot path to rear of the house. We had a great couple of days away.
Jenny
Steep steps down into property. Comfortable mattress but take your own mattress protector and pillows. Great hor tub, that was really clean and super powerful. Great pubs within walking distance.
Julia
Beautiful little house in great location for exploring this beautiful part of the world. The beds are so comfy (Emma mattresses) that we all had the best nights sleep. The hot tub is an absolute highlight, and after a long day of walking the gorgeous countryside, relaxing with music in the tub with all the jets - bliss! The small village of Cromfor d is gorgeous (the view over the mill pond is just lovely) and we had a great night out at The Boat on quiz night - cheesy chips and cake for free!
