Immaculate apartment with lovely outside area

My first impression of the apartment was how clean and fresh smelling it was. The fully equipped kitchen had everything you needed from dishwasher tabs, cling film, condiments, and bin bags which is so helpful when self catering. A welcome basket was a lovely touch. Lots of freshly laundered towels that were changed mid-week by Val. Very helpful hosts who recommended the Middleton Top cycle trail which is very near by. Great trail which shows off the beautiful countryside in its full glory. Wirksworth was a good location to stay to visit the surrounding area. We visited Alton Towers, Carsington water, went fishing at different lakes in the area, visited Bakewell and the designer shopping outlet centre. Try the Birds Nest chinese takeaway, we had a lovely meal there and it’s very popular with the locals. We had a thoroughly enjoyable break away.

A Super Stay

The Apartment is a wonderful, well equipped place to stay. As well as being modern and very well laid out indoors, the outdoor areas are great too. We enjoyed evening meals in “the secret” garden and the off road parking, with gates to keep the children safe was a bonus. The area is really good for eating out, browsing the shops and buying the essentials from the supermarket and we found that we were very close to many tourist attractions meaning we didn’t spend long periods driving around. Val and Lester are lovely people. Very friendly, always up for a chat and nothing was too much trouble. A very enjoyable stay.

Wow Wow Wow... a fantastic few days away. The apartment was so homely with the added bonus of the welcome basket (especially after a long drive). I miss my early morning coffee fix in the secret garden. Would highly recommend the bike ride starting at Middleton Top. Thank you so much Val for making us very welcome. We will be back.

Fantastic short family break

We have had a fantastic stay at the apartment with our 2 young children. It is a fantastic location, very close to all shops and restaurants. The apartment was clean and spacious and the hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The outside ‘secret garden’ as the kids called it was just a perfect outside spot for dinner and drinks. We would definitely recommend.

Lovely apartment with great outdoor space, unfortunately due to weather unable to use. Very convenient for not only the town but also local attractions. Very clean and met by lovely host Val who made some great recommendations of where to visit. Local railway only two minutes from apartment a must to do. Local pubs all very good although as I said earlier not able to sit outside in any bet gardens. Apartment also has parking which is a great plus , I have a Land Rover and easily able to reverse in and get in and out both sides. A lovely 0lace to stay and I would highly recommend

Lovely apartment in a lovely little town

The apartment was excellent for a visit to Wirksworth. It is very well equipped and there are some great walks straight from the door. We also enjoyed cycling around Carsington Water which is nearby and a trip on the Ecclesbourne Valley steam train. Would highly recommend the Mistral for food - a little French Bistro in town, currently only doing take-aways but due to reopen soon. Val and Lester (the apartment hosts) are very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay.
