Nanny Peggy's Cottage, Croft Lane, Ashford-in-the-Water, Bakewell, Derbyshire, DE45 1QG

Perfect this cottage has been undated by its new owners every thing is good quality Wooden floors down stairs good carpet up lovely fitted kitchen, great shower WOULD REALY RECOMEND this cottage

Stayed at this lovely cottage with my wife and dog for 3nights and found it delightful. The only thing we took was a dog bed as everything else you will need is supplied, bedding, towels, hair dryer, dishwasher, cooker, fridge, TV in lounge and one in bedroom, iron, plates, glasses, well everything, but if you do want something there is a shop about 100 metres away. Parking around the cottage is very relaxed and the dog-friendly tea room is two doors away and next to that is the village pub. Ros who you will find in the tea room is very helpful with anything you require. This 400 year old cottage is part of our history and we enjoyed the stay very much.

We stayed for 3 nights from Saturday 31May14 to Tuesday 02Jun14 and to be honest we were rather disappointed. The overall impression of the property was one of shabbiness. We felt the property was in desperate need of an update or at the very least a thorough deep clean. There was a marked aroma of dog in the property and the skirting boards, electrical sockets and cooker were dirty. The duvet cover smelled musty which we removed and used one of our own. Lastly the DVD player in the lounge did not work (not vital as we were out and about for most of the time). We must say that we were very surprised by the English Tourist Board 4 star notice in the window.

what a diffrence time makes This cottage is great none of the above problems Great location perfect for 2Full central heating good kitchen equipment VERY CLEAN every thing you need in a cottage Would recommend to any one This has just been awarded 4 star by Visit England in March 2012 [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

Small quaint cottage with open log fire. BUT thats where it ends!! Kitchen and its equipment filthy, no central heating (contrary to the websites state), have to pay for own electricity by key meter, dirty and unkept bathroom/lounge. Broken outside light so unable to find keyhole, broken leg on bedroom electric radiator, wc temperamental, shower leaks, bathroom heater on wall temperamental and ineffective, broken kitchen equipment, missing shelves to fridge, carpet severely burned under rug. Should be avoided at all costs.
