Eyam Cottage - Darwin Lake Holiday Village

The cottage itself was lovely looking although dated and situated beautifully opposite the lake. Everything you needed in the kitchen apart from scissors.

The TV makes a loud humming/grasshopper type sound when turned on and the guide button on the remote doesn't work. Originally messaged to ask for a fan as I was pregnant was told it was noted on my booking but no can when we arrived. The first night the ensuite toilet leaked all over the floor when flushed, no emergency number to ring so had to be left till the next day, they did offer to fix it but would be noisy, so decided not and use the other bathroom. The floor boards and pipes creak, along with the doors opening when u shut them. No instructions on how to use the shower over the bath so used the ensuite bathroom but being heavily pregnant the stand up shower was hard to menouver. We didn't realise you had to pull string to get the shower to work. The bath hot tap does not get hot so couldn't have a bath. The bed is hard and you can feel the springs so we slept on the sofa instead. Our last night the bath tap turned on by itself and could not be turned off, again no emergency number to sort it so wouldn't have been able to get to sleep and also it spooked us out. So we left and paid more money to stay in a Travelodge. Overall were really disappointed because it's a beautiful place

We had the key code in advance, it was perfect. We arrived late so wasn't worried about check in times etc. The location was just perfect, not near anywhere or anyone so plenty of chill out time! Can't wait to go back

really comfortable sofas, great for dogs and good location for me.

needs a deep clean and the beds are not very comfortable

very hard to find , we arrived in the dark and pouring rain , no signpost for our particular cottage Pitch black , had to shine our phone torches on everyone’s front door name plaques until finally found ours ,therefore more outdoor lighting required please Afew cobwebs about in the cottage and the kitchen sink drainer top could have been polished up , very smeary ? Lacking pictures on the walls

Spacious accommodation. Clean and comfortable.

No mobile signal. Only phone was a pay phone box so needed to makw sure you had plenty of coins to feed it. No reception ir concierge services after 6pm. Lack of amenities.
