Fantastic canal side location. exceptional staff interaction with customers.
United KingdomBeautifully decorated spacious room. Lovely breakfast only sorry we missed having dinner there too. Fantastic setting beside the canal.
United KingdomGreat location for my needs, nice little room..the picture of the hedgehog in the bathroom.
United States of AmericaVery friendly and accommodating staff, smooth check in. Room was quite spacious. Breakfast and coffee were excellent. We had dinner at the Dragon and it was very delicious.
United KingdomVery convenient for Repton school, a few minutes drive or a 20 minute walk. Great to be next door to the Dragon pub for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Nice and quiet even though it was on a busy road!
United KingdomVery clean, lovely rooms. Staff were very helpful in finding me a fan for my room during the extreme heat.
United KingdomThe room was perfect, had everything that we needed, 8t was dog friendly and they didn't mind us brining her crate to sleep in. Bed was lovely and comfortable and the en suit was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Location wise, perfect, right next to the pub which did lovely food and fantastic breakfast. Right by the canal for some easy walks and then only half and hour or so from the peaks. Staff were really friendly and made us feel very welcome. Parking once we knew where it was was lovely right outside the room, no noise from the pub, even when "it didn't come home" on the Sunday. I would recommend going back and we probably will as we felt 4 nights wasn't long enough.
United KingdomThe Cottage was very good and I had good parking for a motorbike, but at £130.00 with no breakfast It was poor value for money when I had booked equally good hotels in same trip with £120.00 breakfast Included its poor value for money.
United KingdomBeautiful location. Very clean. Good facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff.
United KingdomLovely location on the canal ,near a busy road but we could not hear it in our room . Nice room very clean and an amazing shower.
