Home away from home.

Lovely cottage, has everything you need for a quiet getaway. Host is really nice and the area is lovely. We had two dogs with us and they loved the enclosed field to run around in. The surrounding villages are nice to visit and plenty of pubs and public trails to check out. All in all a perfect holiday. We Will be coming back.

Brilliant stay, top host

We had a really enjoyable stay and Nigel is a brilliant host. Everything that you need is in the property and Nigel is very helpful. The children loved the 'walled garden' and the dog loved the private field. Will definitely return..

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 :)

Just had a wonderful stay at this cottage. Nigel and family were so friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, but also enjoyed the owls hooting and cows mooing. It was perfect. We visited the brewery in the village and really enjoyed it. Lots of places to visit including Bakewell, Matlock, Buxton, Stepping Stones at River Dove.

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.

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.
