    Parking is on road or in nearby laybys but we found a space each day. This meant a small walk to the property with bags etc but we were ok with that.

    Fryers Cottage is beautiful and has very good facilities and furnishings. The host was very helpful, the property was clean and looked exactly as advertised. It was cosy and a great base to use to go out walking for the days and then come back to.

    The sink was a little too close to the toilet, but there’s no where else for it to really go, also one of the kitchen cabinets had a screw that needs screwing in.

    Everything was perfect, absolutely blew our expectations. The only things are below.

    Car parking is further up the road which is a bit of a pain when unpacking/packing. Had to leave rubbish for the cleaners as no recycling bins available

    Great location for Wirksworth and surrounding area. Quaint little cottage, comfortable bedrooms, nice bathroom, kitchen and lounge. Exactly as expected from the photos and from a Derbyshire cottage. We really enjoyed it.

    The TV had online connection issues for using any apps like Netflix etc, we couldn't get it working. We didn't overly fight with it as we weren't that fussed but I can imagine this would annoy TV lovers.

    Lovely clean and cosy little cottage in a great location. Has everything you need for a a few days away. Walking distance into the village for the essentials and some sweet little shops and cafes. A quiet road and quiet location even over new year. Would deffinitely recommend.

    We loved the cottage. It was beautifully furnished and equipped and even had Christmas decorations. We were staying in it as a couple so although the cottage is very bijou, the size was fine. I think 3 people is the max it would accommodate comfortably. The log burner made it even cosier and we were able to get logs and fire logs from Ken's Supermarket in the village. The bed was comfortable. Everything about the cottage felt well maintained and even the crockery, glasses and pans (except the frying pan) were good quality. It was also very well equipped with toaster, coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, oven and hob. We liked it so much we asked about staying an extra night. Although we were a little concerned about the parking at first, we found a space easily just a bit further up the road.

    There was only one issue I had and that was the tea bags for the breakfast tea that were in the tins I couldn't tell if anyone else had touched them or not that is my only concern.

    It was an amazing place and just felt so cozy and after spending a day doing activities it was nice to come back and cozy up on the couch and just relax. I really enjoyed the atmosphere the place set as well nice cottage in beautiful area.

    The bathroom is quite old, the shower was broken 2 of the 3 days we stayed there, so showering was a pain for adults and kids. Despite multiple request i was never given a confo for an early checkin and the property was not cleaned by the cleaners. This was all done post our check in which is appreciated.

    The apartment is a nice cozy cottage snuck in Winksworth and away from the attractions in Matlock. Very practical for a 4 member family. Some fixing in the bathroom will make the property spot on. Host was always reachable

    Perfect little cottage but parking could be explained better

    The parking wasn't ideal. The details say parking on site but it's actually just public parking spaces up the narrow and fairly steep lane so you're not guaranteed to get a space or be close to the cottage and it can be quite a trek uphill to get back to the car.

    The property was perfect. Beautifully decorated, clean and cosy. The beds were comfortable and towels were soft. It had everything we needed.

    A lovely little cottage in Wirksworth that's dog friendly and only a stones throw from the Peak's
    • Business trip

    • Two-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The tap on the shower was hard to turn fully off and some of the lights in the living room were cold white which put us off using them during the evening due to the harsh colour. Additionally the parking was a little annoying but there was ample space and as the road is relatively quite it didn't pose a material issue.

    The cottage was small! But that only added to its charm and generated a warm and cosy feeling. We were additionally welcomed by a little welcome package. We found everything you could need in the property including a little milk and seasoning in the fridge and cupboard respectively (very nice touch). The property was clean and has been well looked after. I would suggest that four people in the property would be tight, but with the local pubs and the accessibility to the Peak District, I would say this is an issue.
