The instructions to gain entrance to house where clear and precise. Everything you need was there very clean and tidy. Great suggestions on places to eat. A lovely cottage in a great location. It was an ideal base for me to go cycling. Definitely would stay again to use for a base to get out on my bike.

Great House! Lovely stay and would return

Beautiful place. Yard/garden was a little small but adequate and fact there was a BBQ was great addition. Kitchen again a bit small but it was good enough for what we needed! Two lounges, bigger, plenty of space. And the two bedroom sizes were fantastic. Bit of road noise but we slept really well and was super quiet overnight. Awesome shower! The water pressure was fantastic. We had everything we needed and more. Parking just outside and there was a short walk to Belper mill and gardens next to river. Excellent comms from owners. Very happy and would return.

Very homely cottage in great location

The cottage is quietly tucked away off the road and surprisingly spacious. It contained everything we needed during our stay, all very clean and comfortable and lots of hot water. Easy walking distance to good restaurants and takeaways. The owner is very accommodating and helpful and allowed us to extend our stay by an extra day at short notice. The local industrial history is fascinating and we strongly recommend a tour of the North Mill.

Lovely stay

Great cottage, in a lovely town, with great walks. The cottage itself came fully stocked with everything you could need, including shampoo and shower wash, kitchen was also stocked up with tea and coffee, and fresh milk in the fridge, and all the appliances you could need. We were pleasantly surprised.

A lovely place to stay, I would definitely come here again. Such a cosy place, more spacious than I was expecting as well! Had everything you'd need in my eyes, definitely appreciated the milk in the fridge for us. The streaming services are also a nice touch, overall we really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Quaint cottage in great location.

It is the second time we have stayed at Roy and Anne’s cottage and we loved it as much as we did the first time! We checked in after a fun packed day at Alton Towers and stayed a couple of nights. Belper is a lovely town with plenty of pubs, supermarkets and cafes. It is a cross between Haworth and Otley. The cottage is always clean and warm. The hosts are always attentive and easy to communicate with. Tea, coffee and milk are provided on arrival and the facilities are plentiful- lots of tv channels, Netflix, games, books and more. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Alton Towers! Highly recommended.

Lovely Belper

Just a short walk down the hill takes you to Belper. Mill, river Derwent, antiques centre, independent shops, fab restaurants and pubs. House has all you could need. View on the loo is the best. Would be happy to stay again
