I think that it could do with a little TLC in terms of the decor but overall it was a comfortable stay and it was clean in the main. There were a couple of cobwebs but we can all miss those from time to time. There were cracked tiles in the en suite and the shower door does not seal properly either. the heated towel rail definitely needs replacing as it is very tired looking and paint is starting to peel off of it. In the main bathroom the shower attachment to the mixer taps in the bath leaked by way if fittings not being tightened up properly so it sprayed and leaked water everywhere if you tried to use it. Overall though it was clean and tidy.

It was a lovely location and the house was clean and comfortable. It had most things you needed for your stay in terms of self catering. We would stay again as there wasn't anything major to complain about. There are shops nearby in Matlock which is about a 10 minute drive away. The lake was beautiful even when it rained on the odd day during our stay and we had a daily visit from some if the birds on the lake which was lovely.

There needed to be more facilities in the kitchen area eg pans and utensils. What was there was not the cleanest!

Location and staff at the complex were helpful and friendly. The rooms were a good size and it was nice having 3 bathrooms

Very peaceful and quiet, exactly what we wanted

Some of the equipment was very worn and the frying pan for example would probably not pass any health and safety regulations as the non stick was peeling off!

The location was superb

Unfortunately the bedrooms were very dusty around the coroner’s of the rooms and required an additional clean from ourselves.

It was spacious and had good facilities. Nice view with the lake.

Wifi a bit intermittent

Great location. Went with my elderly Mum & husband. We're familiar with Derbyshire and this location is perfect for where we wanted to go. Darwin Lakes is a fantastic place to stay regardless of how many of you there are.

Broken and loose slabs on path to cottage. Cottage decor was a bit tired. Mouldy grout in en-suite shower. Missing seal on shower door in bathroom.

Cottage had lovely views over the lake. Great location, ideal for exploring the surrounding areas. Plenty of room on ground floor. Very practical flooring for the dog.

A few more basics like disinfectant spray & Bin bags would have been great. We didn't realize there was building work going on directly to the rear which was a shame, we weren't in during the majority of their work but would have been good to know - although can't complain too much due to the upgrade.

Lovely property, a great location, and very amenable staff. We actually ended up with an upgrade which was lovely. The site is so peaceful lovely views of the lake.

The cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Thick cobwebs on the ceilings and walls, skirting boards very dusty, shower head black and mouldy and needed refurb. The cooker wasn’t clean and the fridge had sticky gunge inside the bottom shelf. We washed the bowls, plates and cutlery before use, as not clean enough. The cleaners really need to deep clean especially as covid is still a big thing.

The location was beautiful and 2 miles from Matlock.
