Peak District Self Catering cottage, Thorncliffe House, Darley Dale, sleeps 8

Beautiful cottage, lovely stay
We had a lovely family reunion weekend at Thorncliffe house. The house is beautiful.. it doesn't look much from the road, but don't let that fool you. It's a lovely big open airy space (6 adults in our party and felt like we had loads of room), lots of comfy seating in the living and dining rooms, beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms. In short there was everything we needed available in beautiful surroundings for a lovely break. The only downside was the weather (which is no-ones fault!).. typically we picked one of the stormy weekends at the end of February, so we weren't able to enjoy the beautiful garden, but it didn't stop us visiting Padley Gorge for a stomp (in the snow!), and into Bakewell for shopping and an amazing afternoon tea! And it meant coming back to a beautiful house to get warm and snuggly in. We would highly recommend this property for a stay. Thank you for a lovely weekend, from the Harmer family. Xx

Fantastic home from home
We stayed in this gorgeous property for a week in October. The property is perfect and we couldn?t fault a thing, the owners have equipped it with everything you could possibly need. A true home from home. Immaculately clean, comfortable, spacious and a great location for all that the Peak District has to offer. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone.

Everything you could possibly need is provided and more!
This wonderfully equipped property was an ideal venue for a family get together as we were coming from Liverpool, Newcastle and Hertfordshire. Met by the hospitable and helpful owner Kate with cake and bottles (milk and wine) in hand we soon felt very at home due to the multitude of things provided. CD's, DVDs, books and leaflets, games for adults and children alike, there is even a small play area just up the field behind the property with slide, roundabout, rocking horse and swings. The amount of equipment in the kitchen is such that, on a weekend break as we were on, much was never used. Even though the Sunday of our stay the weather was pretty horrid and very wet, we had plenty to keep us occupied. The location between Bakewell and Matlock is ideal for those wanting to walk but also near to many attractions such as the Heights of Abraham and Crich Tramway Museum both of which we visited. It has certainly wetted our appetite for a return to the area in the future.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Stayed in this stunning house with daughter and her family (7 in total from 5 to 68 years). Kate the host has thought of everything, house well equipped to a high standard, exceptional decor and far more storage in bedrooms than we've had anywhere in the past, house was spotless. Kate kindly left us flowers wine cake and milk etc. Its in a lovely location, near to Bakewell and Matlock, what a bonus at back of the house was a field with football goals and a little park which were ideal for the children aged 5, 6 and 10. When I booked this 6 months ago we were impressed with the large amount of 5 star reviews with lots of people saying it was one of the best properties they'd stayed in over many years or so which speaks for itself. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed staying in this property.
