We loved this cottage. We had the most perfect stay as a group of 10 adults. All bedrooms were beautiful and the lounge and kitchen areas were more than comfortable for the numbers. The location was perfect for walking and we chose to do the Drive Your Dads Car Experience at Ambergate this was 10minutes drive and brilliant fun. We walked to BelpRead moreer easily which had a station for one of our guests travelling. We had a fabulous meal in The Bulls Head Belper highly recommend again about 10minutes drive from the property. Hide

The most perfect week with the best hosts weve ever encountered. Everything we needed was at our disposal. The house is large, comfortable and well situated. Kitchen is perfect for large groups. The stand out feature is absolutely the hosts who not only made us feel welcome, but treated us like friends and family. Highly recommended.

Comfortable and well equipped house located in a quiet, rural area near the River Derwent with easy access to Belper. Perfect for relaxing family gatherings. Plenty of space for a large party to sit together in the kitchen or lounge.

We chose Bridgegate to spend my husband 60th birthday with the family. We could not have made a better choice! All went well: the house was immaculate, nicely decorated, fresh juice, milk, bread and even chocolate were waiting for us. Denise and Paul were available to any question we had, and even come to say hello and give us a welcome hug. TheRead more landscape of Derbyshire was fantastic. I definitively recommend the property and we plan to come back! Hide

Great place, Really cant recommend enough. Clean, great cooking equipment and the hosts are lovely. Only thing i would note is that the path next to the house whcih google maps mentions as a public footpath is not always open. Not really an issue however as there is a public footpath which is 5 mintues longer but still gets you to belper. CannoRead moret recommend this place enough! Hide

The house was incredible, we loved it all and the little touches like the toiletries, the bread, milk etc. The hosts were really helpful and friendly and couldnt thank them enough. We would love to come back in the summer months as the garden area is beautiful. Lots of nice walks to do near by and a lovely town close by.
