I booked 2 nights after reading the tripadvisor reviews. Having stayed, I find it hard to share the enthusiasm of the other reviewers. Yes, the room was clean and reasonably well furnished (although somewhere to sit other than on the bed would have been nice); service was attentive etc. But, I didn't like it that the bathroom was on the... more

Stayed here for the first 2 nights of our honeymoon, en-route to Heathrow. Really lovely spot, great for exploring surrounding area. Gilly and John are great hosts (great banter between them) and their cooking is superb - all very fresh / local produce. Each room is different and we were delighted with ours - the bathroom was stunning. There are... more

We booked four nights at River Cottage to start our honeymoon; we love the Peak District and have had several holidays in the area mostly using large hotels. River Cottage is beautiful and Gilly and John are perfect hosts. Our stay was enhanced by the presence of Gilly's parents visiting from New Zealand. The breakfast food was delicious and masses... more

Our room was sparkling and looked as if no-one had ever stayed in it before. We were sure to put our shoes in the tray provided at the door and every little thing had been taken care of, from the hair-spray to the cotton buds to the (unused) plasma tv screen on high. Breakfasts were superb - I had moked... more

We stayed at the River Cottage over Easter Bank Holiday and it suited us perfectly. We were looking for a comfortable base from which to take long country rambles and visit the well-known local estates of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall. We spent four nights there and didn't get to see half of what we wanted - the Peak District offers... more

It's the sort of small, intimate place where you get to really meet the other guests and the hosts, which is a great way to get ideas for places to visit and things to do. The owners made a great effort to make us feel at... more

I arrived after travelling through China and Europe for two weeks, to relax for a few days in the countryside, and catch up with some friends and family. What a superbly appointed house - rooms catered for every need, great bed, crisp linen and looks very new. Special treat was feeding the trout at the bottom of the garden while... more

Have just got home from a wonderful break at River Cottage. Lovely location and close to places of interest eg. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Eyham. Gilly and John were excellent hosts, and were very helpful advising of things to do and places to eat. The accomodation is wonderful. Spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated, our room was beautiful, fully... more

I was lucky enough to find this B&B online after many hours searching for the perfect spot to stay for my visit to the Peak District. This was definitely a perfect fit and the ultimate splurge. The home was beautifully decorated without being overly fussy and the entire experience was extremely comfortable. From the moment of my arrival, John and... more
