What People are Saying

“Truly a rare find!”

“Absolutely wonderful stay over the Christmas break. One of the best cottages we’ve ever stayed in, with everything you could possibly need – and more – on tap. Countless extra little touches, incredible generosity, spotlessly clean – and yet we still felt completely at home! This really is hotel-style self-catering accommodation. And, of course, it’s set in the most stunning location, with Dovedale on the doorstep. Communication with Andrew and Sarah was easy from the start to finish. Truly a rare find.”

“If I could give Duck Cottage more than 5 stars I would!”

“If I could give Duck Cottage more than 5 stars I would. This is the most perfect cottage, beautiful outside and decorated elegantly inside. The location in Milldale, a lovely little hamlet, is just off the River Dove path, so perfect walking is right on the doorstep. Duck Cottage itself had everything we could want and more, with a lovely welcome basket of local treats. It was immaculate both in cleanliness and decor. Andy and Sarah were extremely responsive with suggestions for eating and quick answers to any questions we had. A huge thank you to them for a most enjoyable 5 days in this beautiful setting.

“My family and I had the most wonderful Christmas staying at Duck Cottage!”

“My family and I had the most wonderful Christmas staying at Duck Cottage. Sarah and Andy provided the best hospitality leading up to our stay, during and afterwards.

The cottage was very clean, and provided a lovely hamper on arrival. Because it was Christmas, they also provided some roasting tins, which was a lovely touch.

The cottage has everything that a family would need and plenty of space to relax. I would certainly recommend to anyone wishing to stay within the Peak District.”

“I cannot stress enough how absolutely delighted we were to have booked such a beautiful cottage!”

“Graham and I have just returned home from the most beautiful few days away – not only was the area and surroundings exceptional, I cannot stress enough how absolutely delighted we were to have booked such a beautiful cottage. It was incredibly clean and tidy and the attention to detail was amazing ensuring our stay in Riverside Cottage couldn’t have been any better. Sarah had thought of everything from the delicious welcome pack for us, to the very thoughtful and unexpected inclusion of dog bowls, bed and blankets for our black Labrador Woody. So much thought and effort had gone into our stay, I cannot thank Sarah enough. It’s an absolute must and I cannot wait to return now knowing it will feel home from home….. thank you so much Sarah x”

A 5 star holiday!

“We absolutely loved our stay at Riverside Cottage. Sarah and Andy have created such a luxurious and cosy environment for their guests and have thought of everything. From the thoughtful welcome basket, to the fantastically equipped kitchen, supremely comfy bed, immaculate bathrooms and beautiful outside spaces, the cottage really is the perfect base for a break in the Peaks. We were so grateful for Sarah’s recommendation of The George at Alstonefield for a meal – a really fantastic lunch from a very talented chef. The location is perfect for exploring the stunning countryside (in particular we loved the circular walk through Beresford Dale and into Alstonefield) and picturesque local villages (Tissington is gorgeous!). A 5 star holiday!”
