Very friendly, welcoming hosts just what you want after a long drive in the winter. The beautifully decorated spotlessly clean house was as warm as toast, and we were quite contented to snuggle up until it was time to go off in search of an evening meal. Breakfast was fresh produce and well cooked. I always like home made bread... More

We absolutely loved our stay at the River Cottage. Gilly and John are fabulous hosts and the property is devine. We loved feeding the trout in the stream that runs past the property and enjoyed the walks around the area. Who would think that on a 7 week European holiday we would be staying with a mad Kiwi on the... More

River Cottage is simply delightful; the rooms are well appointed, attention to detail spot on. Jilly and John are splendid hosts; the breakfasts are fantastic, with freshly made bread and homemade conserves. More

This was my third time at River Cottage and it was as good as ever. Gilly and John are great hosts and happy to share all the local knowledge of what to do and where to go. Breakfast was the best I've had especailly the black pudding! I can't say I found the A6 to be an issue, the room... More

We stayed for two nights. Met with a lovely welcome, with lots of information about local pubs and walks etc. Room was very nice, as was the en-suite, both clean and nicely decorated (my wife loved the wallpaper!). As with the previous review, I was a little concerned with potential road noise, but it wasn't an issue. Breakfast was delicious,... More

Our room was lovely with a super spacious shower room. All extremely clean, with beautiful quality curtains & bedding. As i... More

River Cottage is a delightful place to stay. A genuinely warm welcome from Gilly and John - we felt very comfortable from the moment we arrived. Our room was lovely with a truly luxurious bathroom - there wasn't a thing they'd overlooked. We had a slight concern that there may be some road noise but this was unfounded - a... More

What a super place - I just can't fault it at all. Gilly and John were perfect hosts and cooked us amazing veggie option breakfasts every morning for the 3 days we were there. The room was immaculate, right down to a lovely selection of teas and fresh milk. The bathroom was spotless and again had everything we might ave... More

We stayed for 2 nights and had a great stay. Very friendly welcome, comfortable room, spotlessly clean, excellent breakfast. Great situation for the Peak District with walks you can do right from the door and Bakewell/Buxton short drives away. Yes it's next to the road but it's also next to the River Wye and the garden is beautifully located next... More
