Coachmans Cottage

Pretty and comfortable cottage in a lovely location with everything we needed and plenty of space. Parking space and also some welcome treats which were a lovely touch! Great location within a few minutes drive of nice pubs and other areas such as eyam and bakewell. Reallygood value for money and the host provided up-to-date and clear instructions for check in and out.

The only thing was the low hung lamp above the top bunk next to the ladder made it difficult but everything else was spot on.

The house is beautiful and spacious with a little brook running behind it where we cooled our feet after a hot day. The furniture was all comfortable, and the rooms comfy and large. It's very convenient for access to a good local supermarket (small but with a good range of the basics, and nice cakes and bread) and cafe in Calver, a great local pub (The Moon just across the road), great fish and chip shop, and Indian. We could also walk to Eyam from the cottage through the fields. Thank goodness there was a washing machine there, with washing liquid pods provided, and we could hang clothes on a rack in the 'garden' to dry.

We struggled to find the cottage initially as we drove into The Nook, which is at the back of the cottages, and there's no indication there that you're in the right place (albeit not in the private car park). A neighbour hadn't heard of the cottage, so we ended up leaving and driving to "Main Road" (the B6001) which is listed as the address, and where there's a Coachman's House. However, totally wrong. We were sent an aerial photo by the host in advance showing the location, which might have helped, if we'd remembered we had it. When we did eventually find it, it was a pleasant surprise - beautiful, large, and comfortable. It's not as quiet as it might be, as large lorries drive past during the night, and the kitchen could have had a few more implements to make home cooking easier, but overall, this was a lovely cottage.
