Great house and a lovely village with a cracking pub. Thor's cave is well worth a visit too. Nothing!

Lovely house in a very scenic part of the world. Welcome box with Prosecco & sweets was a nice touch! The walk to Thor’s cave then back to the village tea room for lunch (cash only) was wonderful

We very much enjoyed our stay and found the cottage comfortable. It was well kitted out particularly for small children. It would be good if the items in the house were more clearly listed, for example we packed a highchair when one was provided and this could have saved us space. Lots of good days out locally but come prepared as no local shops

My friends and I recently stayed at Ivy Cottage in Wetton, and it was a delightful experience. The self check-in process was easy and hassle-free. Communication with the host was minimal, but everything was clear and straightforward through the app. The property was exactly as described and spotlessly clean. All amenities were in perfect working order, and we found the beds and sofas very comfortable. The area was super quiet, with only pleasant farm sounds adding to the tranquil atmosphere. It's worth noting that the location is a bit remote, so having a vehicle or at least a bike is essential. Despite this, the setting in the Peak District countryside was idyllic. We particularly enjoyed visiting nearby Dovedale and had a fantastic time at The Old Dog pub in Thorpe. The neighborhood felt perfectly safe, and we had no issues during our stay. The highlight was the serene and picturesque setting. Overall, I highly recommend Ivy Farm House.

I wish we could have picked up this house and bought it home - beautiful. The photos really do not do it justice. The area is lovely and peaceful even though the pub is so close, we didn't hear a thing even over a Fri / Sat night. I have added this to our favourites list and we will most likely be back.

Ivy House is a beautiful place and we had a wonderful stay. We loved outside as there are many fields for your pets. Our children loved Thor’s cave and getting to feed a couple horses. There is a pub next door that you can go to as they serve delicious roasts. I would definitely recommend for you to stay at the Ivy House as it is a beautiful home!

The cottage photos actually don’t do it justice. Wonderful stay. Lovely cottage, very well equipped. Really close to many fantastic walks. Pub next door serves very decent home cooked pub grub ?
