Holiday Cottage Reviews for The Milking Parlour

The Milking Parlour, Cotterill Farm Cottages, Cotterill Farm, Biggin-by-Hartingon, Buxton, Derbyshire, SK17 0DJ

Description of the self catering property

Awarded ‘Gold’ by Enjoy England in 2009, this has been graded with literally top marks within a 17 point ban for four star. The open plan longe, eating and cooking area, really does stand out for its quality. It has two bedrooms, one double and one single, and a quality spacious shower room with underfloor heating. It is the ground floor of a barn converted in 2006. Guests should have no need to worry about noise transmission, as we have comfortably exceeded the latest very strict building control noise transmission requirements with the installation of an independently hanging ceiling and a false floor. The picture does not do this holiday let justice, having been taken with a wide angle lens and therefore making everything seem much smaller than it actually is. Has wifi. We have just received notification out of the blue that the cottage has received the Gold Award, an award from Enjoy England, the country’s official grading organisation, one of a really small number of over 1000 inspected properties in Derbyshire to receive this, awarded in respect of ‘the provision of exceptional quality in all areas but in particular in service’.

Best Features

Despite the gold award, its actually: Location, location, location! We really can't be beaten for that. This cottage and the four others are on a 12 acre non-working farm (with two wild-flower meadows) surrounded by a nature reserve through which a footpath leads on its way to the famous River dove. Numerous footpaths surround the farm, offering unrivalled walking in the best part of the White Peak, Excellent cycling can be hand on the many lanes in the area, or one one of the 3 former railway lines of average 15 miles in length, all within 3 miles of us, or on Sustrans national route 54 which using mainly bridleways passes within 80 yards of the end of our drive, perhaps using our hired bikes available to our guests(only) at about one half of the commercial companies. However, quite apart from the great outdoors, there is almost certainly more attractions to see or things to do, within say 40 minutes drive of our cottages than anywhere else in the UK.

Two much commented aspect of this and 4 other cottages at Cotterill Farm is the firstly standard of housekeeping. And secondly the 8 highly personalised information folders, which must be amngst the best in the business (certainly every Tourist Board inspector we have had over the last dozen years has said they are the best they have ever seen)

Sleeps: from 0 to 3
