Dormy

Reviews

Cosy cottage in beautiful, peaceful village with great walks from the doorstep.

Great location with lovely pubs serving food close by. Echo previous comments re shower but wasn’t a problem as we understood this was the set up prior to booking. Stairs v steep with awkward top step to navigate from double bedroom so not ideal if unsteady on your feet. Property v clean and appreciated the biscuits and milk an arrival after I’d walked over from Sheffield.

A lovely cottage, brilliant location, warm and cosy!

The cottage was cosy and warm. Well equipped, great location. Great pub over the road. No issues with parking.

Loved this little cottage, it was so warm and cosy - perfect to come back to after a days walking. Great location with short walks from the village or longer routes a few miles away. Always lots of hot water and very well equipped. Pub across the road serves excellent food. Had a great few days away here exploring the beautiful countryside.

Nice stay other than the shower (or lack of!). Don't understand why you would put in a brand new bathroom suite and only have a bath, with a shower head at waist height. Would only cost you a tiny bit of money to have someone move the shower head to head height and add a shower curtain rail. Just makes for an unpleasant experience sitting in the bath trying to rinse with a hand-held shower whilst not absolutely drenching the rest of the room. We wouldn't have booked this cottage had we realised in advance. Otherwise clean, spacious, well-equipped, nicely located opposite the pub. Would have benefitted from parking instructions when arriving in the dark.

We really enjoyed our week in Dormy Cottage which is a warm and cosy small cottage in an excellent location for walking, visiting and exploring. The pub across the road, The Bulls Head Inn is warm and welcoming and we enjoyed an excellent well priced meal there on the Saturday when we arrived and very unexpectedly found ourselves enjoying a very well conducted quiz later in the week! We had an excellent curry delivered by the curry house recommended by the owners with a really good quality vegan selection and very reasonable price (much cheaper than Wiltshire prices). Much to our delight the Bulls Head also sold really good fresh bread from a local bakery as well as fresh eggs and cakes. We found the instructions for the TV /Netflix and wifi easy to follow and all the equipment worked well. Our cocker spaniel loved her stay in the Dormy and was made very welcome on each of our visits to the Bulls Head. She needed a shower every day it being an Autumn visit with long walks along the Derwent and in the Dales. She was able to jump in and out of the bath easily but we do agree with others who have commented that a walk in shower would be a great improvement were the property owners able to include this in future plans. Beds were very comfortable and good fridge, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer as well as a coffee press which we happily used and a (huge!) coffee machine which we didn’t use. Good quality wooden floors and flagstones were ideal for three walkers and a dog returning each day. We hope to make a further booking soon for a return visit to enable us to explore more of this beautiful and special area.

Lovely cosy cottage…..quiet area with easy access to lots of places…….very clean & snuggly warm…….local pub was fab….a great place to stay

Nice cottage as described, and in a great location

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location would definitely stay again

Excellent location in centre of pretty village directly opposite a lovely pub with access to lots of footpaths for walking. Very well equipped and comfortable. High quality bedding, towels and kitchen equipment. Milk, tea, coffee and biscuits as welcome package very much appreciated. Easy access and good information prior to arrival - accidental damage deposit refunded very promptly after stay. Would definitely stay here again - thank you Dormy

A very comfortable and cosy cottage right in the middle of the peak district. We had a great time!

The village of Foolow is beautiful, we really liked it. The location of the cottage was central to many places in the Derbyshire Dales so it suited us down to the ground. We took our granddaughter and the cottage was spacious enough for the extra person, although I would say that the dining table was not really big enough for three people (but we managed). There was everything we needed for our stay and it was very clean and tidy on our arrival. We would stay in Dormy Cottage again if we were ever holidaying in the area.

A small but perfectly formed cottage - clean, comfortable and a fabulous spot for exploring the whole of the Peak District.

Excellent location in the heart of the Peak District. The single mattress in the small bedroom was a bit firm for my liking, the kitchen lacked a few essentials (like a seive) and there is no DVD player. Minor quibbles for what is otherwise a charming, clean, well appointed and reasonably priced holiday let.

Had a lovely short break. Nice walk over to Eyam close by. The cottage is spot on as is the pub and food just over the road.

Great cost cottage Perfect distance from the pub. Owner very helpful

Lovely cottage and well equipped kitchen. I think maybe mattress in double bedroom needs replacing as it felt bumpy but still had a good sleep cottage kept warm at all times

The Dormy Cottage is in a lovely little village right near a fantastic pub and close to lots of lovely walks. It is a very cosy cottage with everything that you need. We even had milk and biscuits left for our arrival which was a lovely touch. The only slightly negative is the bathroom - the toilet is very cramped (if you have any mobility issues this may be difficult) and the shower is a hand held one over the bath with no shower guard but there is plenty of hot water and the bath is big and comfortable so a perfect excuse to relax in a bath. We have already discussed a second booking so obviously would recommend.

The cottage is really nice, it’s very cosy, very clean and a good base to get to other places in that area, we had a really good time, and a really nice pub across the road.
