The cottage consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with numerous guests describing it as spotless. This suggests meticulous upkeep and attention to detail in preparing for new arrivals.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to local attractions and public transport, though some guests note traffic noise. The balance of positive location features against the few concerns about noise results in a strong score.
Comfort is frequently mentioned, with guests finding the cottage warm and cosy. A few guests noted issues with the mattress and draughts, but these are relatively isolated comments amidst overall satisfaction.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the well-equipped kitchen and entertainment options. Some guests felt certain amenities could be improved, such as the addition of an iron or better cooking facilities, which slightly lowers the score.
The owners' thoughtfulness is often highlighted, with guests appreciating the welcome treats and provisions. While these gestures are warmly received, it is politely noted that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The cottage is an original 18th century worker's cottage, and is quite small, but very well laid-out. The living room is a good size, with comfortable sofa and a dining table for two. There is always heating available on demand from the fire-effect fan heater. The TV and Bluetooth speaker gives you access to all the TV channels, plus complimentary access to Netflix, which is welcome. The bedroom is a good size too, with a comfortable bed, and adequate clothes storage. The kitchen is very small, and has quite limited worktop space, but I found that it was well-equipped and actually had everything I needed during my stay. This included things like salt & pepper, olive oil for cooking, sugar, herbs etc. teabags and other small things that you don't normally think of bringing yourself. There was also fresh milk and butter provided, which was very welcome. I had a very enjoyable and comfortable week in this cottage, which also benefits from the excellent local bus services stopping right outside. There are fantastic walks to be had right from the front door too.

It provided a warm and comfortable base in a week of indifferent March weather. We very much appreciated the generous provisions which awaited our arrival. The Hill becomes very busy at times and is used during daytime by numerous lorries travelling to and from nearby quarries. However, this is characteristic of local industry and additional glazing to the windows largely eliminates traffic noise. An excellent bus service and walks from the door allowed us to leave our car parked at the cottage and to explore local trails eg the Cromford Canal & High Peak Trail, and other places of interest - a relaxing car-free week!
