Lovely well equipped cottage, perfect location for exploring the area. The welcome pack was an added bonus. Access to the parking area at the back of the cottage is narrow. Fine for us but worth knowing if you have a large car. The field at the back was lovely although we didnt have any dogs with us on this trip. The sunset views were beautiful. ThRead moree bus stop outside would be helpful for anyone not wanting to take a car. The village of Crich was friendly, two pubs, a small shop and two takeaways. The Indian is recommended and has a few tables inside too. All in all a great cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hide

Following good reviews of the property we were disappointed with our stay mainly due to the lack of maintenance to the property It's location is excellent for exploring the Peak District and the local village of Crich, has a great pub with excellent food and being very dog orientated Please be aware there are no footpaths from the property to theRead more village so not advisable to walk The rear paddock is great for exercising the dog, however supervision is needed at all times The externals of the property ie the paths are very uneven with loose concrete and the grass had not been mown Inside were a number of issues ie cobwebs at high level, mould in the shower room and a broken drawer in the main bedroom set of drawers I won't be recommending this property to my friends and family This would be a great property if it was maintained to a higher standard Hide

We recently had a lovely stay at Beau Cottage. Overall everything was great, but there's some information that may be useful for you if you're thinking of booking. Inside the cottage was nice, warm and cosy. The fridge is very small (fine for us!), the bed is HUGE and very comfortable, the stairs are open (which we thought meant open back steps)Read more, but they're open at the side with no hand rail on one side. All the essentials (toilet roll, kitchen towel etc) were there, which was nice, although we'd taken our own anyway. The main road is busy, but that made it easier for us to get around without travelling along lots of narrow roads, so for us the location was a bonus. On arrival there was a lovely welcome pack which was a nice surprise. Very grateful for that. The path leading to the property through the front gate was very uneven so needs some attention as there are potential trip hazards. There is a very small paddock at the back, which was useful to us for some training, but our dog is always kept on a lead. It wouldn't be secure enough to let dogs off the lead as on one side there is some barbed wire with no other barrier or long grass so some dogs would try and squeeze through, and there wasn't a proper way of fastening the main gate to the paddock. It closed but needs a different type of catch on it. Again, not a problem at all to us. The information folder could do with an update regarding some useful info eg when to put the bins out (I googled it but a lady very kindly put the bin out for us anyway). We ordered food and it was quite hard for the driver to find the house as there is no house number, just the postcode - standing outside waving at them solved this problem. None of these things stopped us enjoying our stay, we just thought some of the info might be useful to other people. We had a lovely relaxing break :) Hide

Stayed over the Christmas week and thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of places to visit with some nice walks (although quite hilly) right on the doorstep. Cottage was sparsely but tastefully decorated and with the log fire roaring made for a lovely atmosphere.

Managed to cook a full Christmas dinner with the equipment provided so very good on that score. There were a few small parts that needed a bit of attention to detail but that didn't detract from us having a lovely time. Good WIFI and Netflix for bad weather days, there is a well stocked shop in the village so you do not have to venture far if you don't need to. All in all a very pleasant stay in a quaint little cottage. Hide
