Great base for exploring the peaks. Fab! Great base for exploring the peaks. Very homely cottage that has benefitted from a fairly recent refurb. Sitting in the garden with a glass of red while the children played in the park across the way was an unexpected bonus as was the short stagger back from the pub! Well equipped with everything you could need and more! Nigel, the owner was great and gave good advice as to places to go. If we are ever back in the peaks this would be our first port of call. Winner!

This is our 2nd visit to Post Office Cottage, and sure not to be the last. The cottage itself is fantastic, full of character but with all the mod-cons. Lovely of an evening to have the open log fire roaring and only a short walk to the pub. It's perfectly situation for exploring the Derbyshire Dale's and a short drive to the popular Matlock. Another Gem within a 10 minute walk is Lea Gardens with it's winding paths through the beautiful landscaped gardens along with the spacious cafe serving great food and drink. Overall a great place to stay. ##### Mark This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irene 2 Jan 2019 #### B Beautiful cottage, plenty of extras, well equipped Steps to kitchen and dining room WiFi would have been a bonus No Virgin network for mobile phones, O2 works fine Good food at the Jug and Glass Our son and family live in Holloway, very handy for us to visit them ##### Irene ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Fountain Tea Rooms B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-THE-FOUNTAIN-TEA-ROOMS-BED-AND-BREAKFAST.h24918794.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [The Family Tree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-The-Family-Tree.h27369415.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greyhound Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-The-Greyhound-Hotel.h3496389.Hotel-Information) > > [Oakhill ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-Oakhill.h3297080.Hotel-Information) > > [Gulliver's Resort Matlock Bath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-Gullivers-Resort-Matlock-Bath.h19236922.Hotel-Information) > > [New Bath Hotel & Spa, a member of Radisson Individuals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-New-Bath-Hotel-And-Spa.h13378879.Hotel-Information) > > [Darwin Lake Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-Darwin-Lake-Holiday-Village.h39014769.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Hodgkinson's Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-Hodgkinsons-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h24922655.Hotel-Information) > > [Grouse & Claret, Derby by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-Grouse-Claret.h11899877.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollybush Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-The-Hollybush-Inn.h44184610.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beeley Inn ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matlock-Hotels-The-Devonshire-Arms-At-Beeley.h12956654.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Ranmoor- beautiful character cottage with walled garden and gorgeous views.
