Heron's Rest

Loved the property, and especially its location. The stay was fantastic, and the walks along the Monsal Trail are always fabulous. Would definitely book again, but perhaps not again in January. We've visited the Peak District many times, and this was by far the best location we have stayed in.

If I'm being picky, the house could have been warmer on arrival. I concede it was a very cold day, but it took several hours for the house to actually warm up. Because of the freezing conditions, we thought we'd light a fire only to find 4 pieces of wood, which didn't last long. Didn't want to risk getting in the car again as it was minus 7 and we didn't know the roads very well to find more wood. Have been to other places, where wood is always supplied.

A cosy, peaceful cottage in a beautiful setting, with great local food and memorable heron sightings.

The cottage was lovely, perfect for a cozy getaway. The kitchen facilities were brilliant with every utensil you could possibly need. Plenty of nice walks nearby.

Everything was great.

No breakfast is provided. The location is down a single track road but is a lovely location with a river running in front of the house. When we arrived the little Christmas tree was lit up and stockings were hanging from the hearth. There were plenty of candles to light and plenty of wood if you wanted to build a fire. I deal for a romantic getaway but really pleasant for anyone.

Personally, I was a LITTLE STRESSED DRIVING IN THE DARK whilst it was raining down a single track road, but that is to do with me rather than the location of the cottage.

Really nice inside, fully equipped and in a gorgeous location perfect for walking. Felt like we could fully switch off for 2 days. Nice country pub in walking distance. The hosts are great, we knew everything in advance so made sure we took plenty of food and some extra firewood and had a cosy couple of days walking and sitting by the fire. Biscuits, tea coffee and milk all provided on arrival, with a few logs for the fire. An absolutely lovely touch were the 2 dog biscuits waiting for our hounds, it’s safe to say they fully approved. We’re already in conversation with our parents to book to come with them next year! We can’t wait to be back.

The property is perfect for a walking retreat in the countryside. Even if you forget something, Bakewell is at most a 20 minute drive away.

It was well equipped and stylish in a shabby chic way. We loved that.The main bedroom was a great size .The oven was big and we enjoyed cooking there. The property was close to fabulous walks and pub up the road was very cosy and traditional

Nothing really but it was a bit cramped for four of us to eat in the kitchen . Perhaps a black bin bag would have been good but the bins were easily accessible and we recycled.

Lovely cosy cottage, practical flooring and layout. Had everything you need for a short break.

Nothing

The location is amazing, we walked every day and only needed to use the car to go to the supermarket. There are lots of walks right on the doorstep.

Everything was just right

Lovely quiet location, accessible for our walking break in the area, well equipped kitchen

Shower is a little dated and will need replacing before long

Perfect location and great little place with everything we needed. Everything was very welcoming and comfortable. Perfect for getting on to the Monsal trail.

Its a shame there is so little outdoor space to sit outside - but understandable given the nature of the property.
