Bankside cottage is a charming stone cottage, cleverly modernised to a comfortable standard with a couple of quirks.

Location is wonderful at top of Dovedale, with lovely (and easy) walks at your doorstep. The number of walkers passing by using the close public carparks is proof this is at a prime location.

There was little to fault with the accomodation. Only niggles would be the doorknobs upstairs were incredibly hard to turn. My 8 year old daughter needed help. As there is understanadbly no extractor fan in the kitchen, it would have been nice with a door to close towards the lounge to reduce the spreading of frying odours. Ah, and it would have been nice with a key to the second front door.

Weather was not the best, and it was quite cold when the heating was not on. An email asking the host to turn the heating on for longer was answered straigth away, and it was a good temperature from then on.

I really loved the Everhot cooker. In this Cottage it makes perfect sense to have something like this giving off background warmth, and with more time to make the most of it. Just temember to turn it on well in advance of needing the ovens. There are 2 x induction hobs which are superb if you are in a hurry.

Did a slow cook dinner in the lower oven (Using the hot plate to sear the meat, which came out lovely, and in contrast the even heat in the top oven resulted in a lovely pizza.

Bedrooms and beds are really nice. Ample storage. My daughter loved the bunk bed, and my son loved the double bed all to himself.

I needed to use the washing machine and the tumble dryer. Fabulous.

Would you recommend Bankside Cottage to friends and families?
I would. We have been a lot of times in Peak district, and I think this is one of the best, if not the best accomodation we have had.

Did you have a great stay at Bankside Cottage?
Yes. Weather was not the best, and admittedly my mind was a bit elsewhere, but all in all this was a good stay.

We had a lovely half-term break in Bankside Cottage. The location was perfect for country walks, only a few hundred yards from the start of the Dovedale trail which is stunningly beautiful with lots of interest for the kids too. It’s also only a few miles from Ashbourne which was very useful for shopping and takeaways. We would highly recommend the Old Dog in Thorpe for an evening meal and a few beers. The cottage itself was fabulous. Cosy rooms with high end fittings in the bathroom and kitchen and a huge comfy bed in the master bedroom. My daughter really enjoyed looking at the stars from the little back garden when it turned dark. Would highly recommend and would love to return again in the future.

Cosy cottage. Lovely bathroom, great shower and nice bedding. Lots of walks from the door. Only downside is no back door into garden so had to pop dogs on lead out the front door to take them up steps to back garden. I think they got used to it quicker than me!

Beautiful cottage with everything you need for a very comfortable holiday ...everything has been thought of from a much appreciated welcome pack to guide books / entertainment / bikes and helmets / full washing and drying facilities and even a Nespresso coffee machine! Sunny garden captures the afternoon and evening sun. Location is perfect - just a minute walk from the river then you can take your pick...ice cream at Pollys or a walk to Dovedale, or Tissington, or Alstonefield etc....all doable from the cottage without need of a car.

We recently enjoyed a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in Bankside cottage. The owners have obviously put a lot thought into making sure their guests have all they need. There was even a basket of some local produce waiting for us on arrival which was a nice touch. The cottage itself is tastefully decorated and had lots of character. Would definitely stay again.
