Peaceful and unique, Frogmore is an exceptional holiday home, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a superb lounge with sumptuous leather sofas, an amazing kitchen and lovely dining area.

Your strolls are bound to take you into nearby Darley Dale with local shops, tea rooms, Peak Rail's steam trains, historic Whitworth Park and the start of the Derwent Valley Heritage Way.

What a wonderful place we had to stay in. The facilities were excellent and had the addition of the character in the corner of the lounge (karaoke machine) which was a bonus. What a pity we were only there for three nights. It looks as if you have had great fun doing up the building and fitting it out.

A perfect situation, two pubs with great food in 5 minutes walking distance. If you dont want to go out, the house has a fully equipped kitchen.

Can't pick any faults at all. The cottage is obvioulsy well maintained and kept extremely clean between guests. All the equipment (and there was plenty of it) was more than adequate and easy to use - instructions on everything were available if required. We had five people in our group and there was ample space in the both the sizeable kitchen / Read morediner and the front room for us all to relax. The cottage grounds themselves were very well maintained and there was plenty of parking for our two cars - probably would have taken another couple without too much trouble. It is situated only 5 mins drive from the busy A6 (which leads to all desinations) but you felt miles away given the tranquility of the location. Owners basically left us alone but were on hand should we have needed anything (but I can't think what else you woud need quite honestly). Had a fantastic week and would love to return in the future.
