Vacation rentals in Stanford on Soar

What a fabulous stay we had! Beautiful place and all the special touches made it special . We had a Christmas tree all lit up when I arrived which made it feel warm and inviting. And other treats awaited us. Clean, homely and inviting. The hot tub area was perfect for relaxing on a cold evening. Will definitely go back next year!

Lovely place to stay for a get together with friends. Spacious, clean and well equipped, with great communication from our host

We couldn’t have been more satisfied with our experience at Blakelow farm. The cottage was immaculate and well maintained with every detail thoughtfully considered. A welcome pack of yummy goods on arrival and beautiful bathroom amenities ready on the bed. Andrew was very helpful and responsive at all times, a great host and would recommend anyone to stay here.

Our stay was great the place is very clean and spacious and the hosts are friendly and helpful it’s close to the centre and has everything needed for a good stay!

The cottage is beautiful, amazing views from every window and lovely touches throughout - felt really homely with absolutely everything you could possibly need. We used it as a base for a couple of days walking and it was perfectly positioned for that - in an elevated position looking out over Matlock Bath and straight onto numerous trails. Excellent communication from the host and so pleased we chose to stay there.

Wonderful base for family gatherings or a holiday in the countryside. Even in rainy weather we so enjoyed the view and being able to go for extended walks. Abigail was such a welcoming host and gave us ideas for excursions as well as information on the history of the area. Indulged our fascination with the rural setting as city folks and let us feed the chickens. We had a fantastic time cooking and entertaining. The kitchen with its large dining table and the generous living rooms are great for sharing time together and the quietness of the surroundings are so relaxing. In fine weather the garden must be very enjoyable, but even on wet days it is lovely to look out at the pretty grounds and observe the sheep grazing close by.

This fitted our needs perfectly as we wanted a short break not too far from Chatsworth. It was clean, cosy and well-appointed. Although we don’t have dogs (anymore in my case) I could see how easy it would have been to take one there. I would be very happy to visit again, perhaps for an extra night or two next time, or to recommend it to my friends and relatives.

Superb place for a family get together. Large lounge with plenty of seating and spacious bedrooms meant everyone felt right at home. Views were stunning and so close to Carsington Water. We didn’t explore as much due to Storm Bert but felt cozy at home with the log burner! Pub within staggering distance. Excellent hosts who helped us out with snowy conditions. Definitely would highly recommend and will return !

Beautiful hut and location. Will definitely return
