Family wedding break
We stayed in Hognaston for a family wedding at Tissington Hall. The property is beautiful and about 15 minutes away so was perfect for our stay. The contact with the owners was very good and they always answered the queries I had. I would definitely stay here again.

So special
I found and booked this cottage almost a year in advance for a first ever full family holiday. 7 adults and 4 children. Natasha was so helpful and kind in the lead up with questions that I had. The cottage surpassed our expectations. So clean and spacious. The children loved it! The area was stunning. We visited so many places. I'm definitely going back. I Recommend 100%!!Thank you so much.

Fantastic place, fantastic location
The property was immaculately clean and in a wonderful location with Carsington on the doorstep, and Keddleston Hall and Ilam within easy reach. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Lovely, comfortable cottage
Myself and 7 friends came to the cottage for 3 days over New Years and had a wonderful time. The cottage is really warm and welcoming and a great place to hunker down, play games, cook and go on walks. Unfortunately we had lots of rain but managed a short walk to the reservoir in the drizzle which was still very pleasant! The house is really well equipped, the showers are particularly nice. Do mind those ceilings as people have said! We had a few sore heads but only for people over 6ft. It’s all part of the charm of the cottage! Supermarkets and towns with shops are about a 15 min drive away, which we didn’t explore due to the weather and mostly being hungover! Hognaston itself is very remote, and quiet, but the villages only pub is two doors down which was very handy indeed. Beer selection was fine, (not a craft beer place) but food was excellent. We enjoyed two nights in there. All In all a lovely stay and I think the cottage is truly better than the pictures show!

Great Family Holiday
We had a really good week at Station Cottage, helped by unseasonably dry & mild October weather. Plenty of space upstairs & down. Beware of low ceilings! (We had a tall (6'4") person with us & he banged his head a few times - ouch!) Beds very comfy, showers perfect for post-cycling, lockable storage area ideal for keeping bikes secure. Kitchen very well-equipped. Friendly pub 2 doors away with well-kept beer & excellent food.

Wonderful cottage and area
A really good place to relax with the family. Having a nice pub 2 doors down the road where food is served is always nice. Natasha is a great host and was able to give us quick responses to any questions we had. We were able to drive to Alton Towers easily from here. Highly recommend

A lovely short break!
We had a fantastic short break here. There were 9 of us in total and Station Cottage had plenty of space for us all. It was clean, comfortable, full of character and located in a lovely village with great access to the Peak District. We would recommend a stay here. Thank you Richard and Natasha!

Great venue for an extended bike weekend
Property is located in the small village of Hognaston, pub two doors up serves real quality food and beer (four nights = four guest beers). Accommodation has generous living and was fully equipped, rooms all have very comfortable beds. Use of the garage to store bikes was invaluable and secure. Great location to cycle from, lots of routes from the door. 10min drive into Ashbourne or Matlock. Owners very responsive and prompt to requests for information. Having complimentary tea / coffee / biscuits and small beverage was lovely touch but the pint of milk in fridge was perfect. Would definitely return in the future, had a great stay. Thanks

Beautiful clean well equipped cottage!!
Thank you Natasha for rescheduling our stay because of storm in February.The weather has been not in our favour but the cottage has more than compensated. It is a beautiful cottage in a wonderful location…. We’ve had great time. We had some lovely walking in the pretty little village and some fab meals too.. the cottage was everything we had hoped for. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you so much from us all.

Clean, well equipped and ticked every box. Although there’s no drive we parked 3 cars with ease just outside the cottage. The Red Lion pub is also a must for food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Charming, well equipped, and on the edge of the dales.
A lovely cottage to stay in, clean spacious and well equipped. We had problems with mobile signals coming and going, as it does at home, which meant contact for a small issue we had, was compromised. All 5 of us thought the accommodation was 1st class, and we would definitely book again.
