We have just returned from a weekend stay at Candle cottage for our wedding anniversary. The cottage was 5* +, exceptionally clean and the decor and furniture to the highest standard. We were warmly welcomed by Steve who helped with bags, a real nice guy who is a great host. We were welcomed with warm mince pies and mulled wine and a beautiful hamper inc wine, chocs, biscuits and the most lovely little teddy bear. The whole place is just magical and with the christmas tree and the decorations it made out stay even more romantic and special. ( It even snowed!)
Blakelow cottages are set very high up with stunning views however easy access to surrouning towns such as Bakewell and Matlock and NT places such as Chatsworth.
This is the best cottage we have ever stayed in and are already thinking of when we could return.
Thanks for a very memorable stay.

We stayed in Candle Cottage which has been fitted out to a very high standard. It is spotlessly clean. Steve is a very gracious host, always there to help if needed: we were very impressed with the courtesy and speed with which he despatched an item we had left behind.

The cottages are well located which, along with their overall ambience, makes for a very relaxing break.

Just returned from a weeks holiday at candle cottage and already wishing I had booked two! Steve was so friendly and has simply made these cottages stunning, from the gorgeous bd linens to the luxury towels and bathrooms the finishings on these cottages really make them five start.

Absolutely amazing place and can't wait to go back!

Probably the best holiday cottage ever. Exquisitely furnished and decorated. Equiped with every imaginable item that anyone could require. Bed so comfortable with beautiful bed linens. Nicest suprise of all was gift hamper with chocs, wine, biscuits and the cutest teddybear. The location is superb, rural but within a few miles radius of some wonderful N.T. and privately owned properties such as Chatsworth. Matlock and Buxton also very close as is Crich Tramway museum. Cottage had plenty of information available about surrounding areas also books magazines, cards puzzles and DVD's. There was milk and fresh bread waiting for us and fresh eggs from the pet hens whole experience just brilliant.
