The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Edge Cottage. Verbatim.

Fantastic property- it has everything we needed, spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the extra touches that made life a lot easier, particularly with a toddler. Lovely views as well!

Rowley stayed in October '23

Overall fantastic stay. Location was brilliant, Curbar Edge viewable from the house - house itself was beautiful and clean.

Sainty stayed in September '23

Lovely cottage with secure gardens, lots of outdoor furniture to enjoy it. Open plan lounge/kitchen, so not cluttered. Fabulous views and great walks to the Edge from the door. Very good pub within a few minutes walk.

Goodey stayed in August '23

Fantastic cottage in a great location, only a two minute drive to Curbar’s Edge. The cottage was immaculate, and felt lovely and cosy. The beds were super comfortable, all bed linen and towels were of a high quality. The cottage had everything we needed for a really comfortable relaxing stay. I would definitely stay again - 5 stars!!!

anon stayed in August '23

spotlessly clean, beds very comfortable Could do with a bit bigger tv! Overall good stay

Lovatt stayed in August '23

Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely accommodation and had everything you need. Host was extremely helpful with evening meal recommendations. House clean and cosy. Lovely garden too. Parking for two or more vehicles is a little challenging due to the car port but as long as you plan for that everything else is spot on 👏

Rodge stayed in July '23

It was a lovely cottage with brilliant surrounding views and a very kind and helpful owner

Harley-Mason stayed in July '23

Lovely cottage. Very peaceful location with a pretty garden. Ideal place to do the Curbar Edge Walk. Very responsive host - thanks.

Amanda stayed in June '23

We loved our time at Edge Cottage. Spacious and comfortable, a real home from home with every amenity we could need. The garden was a peaceful, private suntrap, somewhere we found difficult to leave after returning from our walk each day. The location was perfect: many great walks locally, some from the door. It was nice to be based close to the highlights, but tucked away enough to escape the crowds. Marita provided lots of restaurant/tea room/pub recommendations; wish we'd had more time to try them all out. We would definitely like to come back.

Price stayed in June '23

An amazing cottage in a fab area. We were unsure at first as to the location but it is actually situated in a sweet spot between many other towns and places of interest. We were sent so much useful information which really helped such as restaurant recommendations etc. The cottage itself had everything we needed and more, was very clean and tidy, and had a general home from home vibe. We'd certainly stay again and recommend it to friends and family. Thank you to Marita and family who made our stay wonderful, with little touches such as a bottle of wine, notes, etc.

Ryan Carter stayed in May '23

Great venue, prefect for a peaceful getaway

James stayed in April '23

Excellent

Victoria Ling stayed in March '23

Superb property, with very responsive hosts. Made you feel welcomed and at ease. Comfortable bed, and very well stocked kitchen. Perfect!

Brown stayed in March '23

Beautiful and cosy cottage. Super comfortable beds. The place was spotless with great appliances and a fantastic supply of crockery, lovely pottery. Marita was understanding regarding our check in and out and was very quick to respond to us, great communication and she sent us loads of local information. Excellent local cafes and restaurants, particularly The Cafe on the Green at Baslow, The Eating House at Calver, The Tea House at Enderson (tastiest cooked breakfast we’ve ever had!) and The Eyam Tea House; all serving amazing hot chocolate and local, homemade food. Only issue we experienced was actually locating the cottage. We had 3 tours of the village before finding it! Great for getting to know the place 😃. Parking in the car port is fine for one car but was awkward when my daughter arrived. We managed to get the 2 cars in but with a lot of shuffling and shunting, narrow lane, awkward turn and stone walls make manoeuvring difficult. Having said that our skill was admirable.

Cohen stayed in February '23

A fantastic place to stay. Very cosy, stylish, and in a really lovely location!

Heinrich stayed in February '23

This was a lovely property. Spotless and very well appointed, it was also very cosy and comfortable. The owner was very friendly and accommodating and we used 2 recommendations for dinner, and were not disappointed.. The Blind Bull was a fantastic recommendation - we loved it! Highly recommend this property and the beautiful location in the peaks

Serpell stayed in February '23

Marita was a wonderful and responsive host! We’ll definitely be back!

anon stayed in February '23

We were very happy with the cottage & had an enjoyable stay. the owner was very helpful.

Woollacott stayed in January '23

Sarah Sarah We had a wonderful stay at the cottage - set in the beautiful Hope Valley with walks right on your doorstep. The cottage was beautiful, cosy and clean, with very comfy beds and sofas - perfect for four of us plus Willow the dog. We loved the log burner, and imagine the garden would be beautiful in the warmer months! It was an easy independent check in/out, and Marita made us feel very welcome with lots of local recommendations by message. As per the other reviews, the closest pub is lovely but down a big hill so be warned for the walk back!

Morse stayed in December '22

Excellent. Perfect for walking the dog and eating at local pubs.

Norton stayed in December '22

It all worked well for the purposes in mind

Graystone stayed in November '22

I arrived late so was dark and struggled a bit to find the place but once in all was well. Beautiful property, warm and welcoming with everything we needed. Lovely garden for the dog to mooch about in and great to have porch entrance at the back after long, muddy walks. We spent time as a family together having come from all over the country and it was perfect. Would love to stay again. Thank you Marita.

anon stayed in October '22

We loved the cottage and hope to return

Casey stayed in October '22

A beautiful clean cottage with everything you need during your stay. A wonderful place with lots of lovely views. We went for lots great walks and visited Chatsworth too. Would definitely stay again. The hosts are lovely and welcoming. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Helen Taylor stayed in October '22

Fantastic view to Curbar edge, Sweet garden and summer house. Handy for walking, cycling, climbing.

James stayed in September '22

Edge Cottage is extremely comfortable with high quality décor, beds, kitchen and bathroom. The garden is charming and this was a perfect location for us to visit The Peak District. It’s a stones throw from Chatsworth, wonderful walks and really good pubs.

Partridge stayed in September '22

Most beautiful cottage and garden.

Wells stayed in September '22

Lovely peaceful place to stay and close to a number of walking routes with spectacular views. The secure garden was great for the dog. Would highly recommend.

Gallop stayed in September '22

It is a cosy cottage with a warm atmosphere; its well equipped and in a great location to walk from or reach other locations either by car or train. It has a sweet garden to the rear with a summer house and a courtyard at the front. The downstairs was open-planned with kitchen/diner and lounge including a wood burner; upstairs (staircase quite challenging for children & people with more limited mobility) there are two spacious bedrooms and bathroom. Would happily recommend and revisit!!

Glass stayed in August '22

We had a great time at Edge Cottage. The location was perfect, we came here to climb and were just a short walk from Curbar Gap crag, and less than a 20 minute drive from several other popular bouldering areas. The cottage itself is lovely, it felt very secluded and has a large garden area. Highly recommend!

Goodhead stayed in August '22

Edge cottage is a wonderful place to stay, spacious with comfy beds and equipped with everything we needed. The garden is lovely too, with lots of nice places to relax. Curbar edge is literally on the doorstep, brilliant views from the upstairs rooms. Thankyou very much, we really hope to come back!

Williams stayed in August '22

We had a lovely time at Edge Cottage. The house is well situated in a beautiful part of the Peaks, a short walk (10 mins) into a fantastic local pub called The Bridge Inn (very family friendly!) and a lovely little cafe called the Eating House (15 mins). It is worth noting that if you go into town on foot, the walk home is a little steep. A good workout after a wholesome pub meal though! Highly recommend for anyone travelling with children (since travel cot, high chair, bunk beds, books and plastic kid-friendly plates, bowls and utensils are all provided). Our stay fell over the heatwave and we were very comfortable indoors temperature wise. The cottage also provided some fab board games and a jigsaw puzzle which were handy when it was too hot to walk. Would definitely stay again!

Rees stayed in July '22

Beautiful cottage with a fantastic little garden and everything you could possibly need. Sitting out in the summer house and around the table outside was really enjoyable and the fully fenced garden meant not having to worry about our small cocker spaniel. Beds were really comfy and the shower hot and powerful. Be aware of the height restriction on the covered car port as opening the boot on even our small car was a slight challenge but easily overcome. Fantastic setting with lots to do nearby and Chatsworth is a must to visit.

Sakayama stayed in July '22

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Everything is clean and well prepared. The cottage is in a great location, as well.

Kefford stayed in July '22

Wow what a lovely cottage. The photos definitely don’t do it justice. Such a lovely dog friendly garden my puppy had the best time running around exploring. The house it’s self has everything you need for your stay, lovely space and so clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend and go back! There’s a pub down the road and lots of walks and places to explore around.

Karl Morosiuk stayed in June '22

Lovely secluded cottage. Brilliant location for the Curbar ridge. Thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay.

Dore stayed in June '22

Such a beautiful location for a wonderful house, highly recommended staying here!

Pederson stayed in June '22

Really loved our stay here! Very spacious and clean! Really great location for good walks nearby and perfect for dogs! Would recommend and come here again! Thank you so much!

Dodd stayed in April '22

Edge Cottage is a beautiful place to stay with all of the comforts you could imagine. Would highly recommend and would love to stay here again. One word of advice re the pubs in Calver - they are all lovely, but walking back up the killer hill in the dark after a massive meal and wine is not something we would recommend! Just drive!

Steph Holton stayed in March '22

We had a lovely stay at Edge Cottage. Everything you need and a lovely space to be with friends. Close to some amazing walks and pubs!

Ian Mayer stayed in March '22

This really is just gorgeous. Property is stylish, beautiful, comfortable and more than a home from home. Location is stunning, garden was just enchanting, and the host (Marita) was just exceptional. Can’t recommend this one highly enough. Made me want to buy the place!!

LLoyd stayed in March '22

This place is fantastic, great open plan living, we really enjoyed sitting at the kitchen island whilst the other person cooked, or chilling out in front of the log fire. Views from the bedroom are great for a coffee in bed. There is an easy walk up to Curbar Edge with views across the valley, equally there is a small community park less than a minute away where we could let the dog run about and watch the sunset behind the opposing hills. Everything was spotlessly clean and the house is furbished to a high level with decent modern bathroom and shower and a well equipped kitchen. We will definitely stay again. Be aware that the low roof of the car port may not accommodate those with SUV's or 4x4s.

Eve Sharp stayed in February '22

Cosy cottage. Very clean and comfortable. Fab, secure garden. Dog-friendly accommodation that is so lovely it doesn’t feel like a single dog has ever stayed there! We only stayed for two nights and one very wet day, but it was perfectly located for the spots we explored (Bakewell, Eyam and Curber Edge/White Edge). I’d love to return and explore more.

Jess Corbett stayed in February '22

Lovely cosy cottage in a very quiet and relaxing area with plenty of walks on the doorstep

Andy Morrall stayed in January '22

Collins stayed in December '21

What a lovely cottage in the Peak district. walks along Curbar Edge, the Pipe track under Curbar Edge and along the river right outside the door. A short car drive to Chatsworth, Bakewell, and the rest of the peak district. Highly recommended. Thank you for such a great cottage to stay over Christmas. Everything was lovely and the additional Christmas decorations just make it extra special for the boys

This is one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in. Super comfortable. Fantastic location for exploring the Peak District from the doorstep yet close to all conveniences you might need. The perfect cottage for our first holiday with our baby: warm thanks to being so well insulated, fully equipped kitchen so we could make dinner each night, clean and cosy.

Just wanted to thank you ( and Marita who posted the items we had left behind! ) for our comfy and relaxing stay in Edge Cottage. It was a great place to meet with our son and to enjoy the great walks in the Peaks. The cottage was perfect for walking , wine and board games during a rather cool and sometimes wet autumn stay. I would thoroughly recommend Edge Cottage.

2. Eyam – The Plague Village

Nearby is the village of Eyam, famously known as the plague village. The village was unique in its response to the outbreak of plague in 1665 as the village placed itself in voluntary quarantine.
