Walton Cottage Reviews

Alison and her husband were excellent hosts. Very friendly and helpful. All required amenities were there. They allowed us to use their personal parking space as we had two cars. Also I hadn't let them know we needed to use all 3 beds and Alison supplied the extra bedding immediately. Would definitely recommend this cottage and we will stay again if we are in the area.

We had a very enjoyable stay in Walton cottage, very friendly, helpful hosts. Good location for exploring south Derbyshire. Barton Marina is 5 minutes drive away, has excellent restaurants, (The Waterside Thai is superb), retail shops, butchers/deli and a picture house. Mercia Marina is also nearby, where we enjoyed a narrowboat trip along the canal (booking ahead recommended). The Swan Inn is a few minutes walk from Walton Cottage, perfect way to end the day with a nice meal and drink or two. Food is excellent, as are the beverage choices. Would also recommend the China Rice takeaway, which is also nearby. All in all a very pleasant stay, thank you Alison and Simon for making us feel so welcome.

We found Walton Cottage a great base to explore the Derbyshire/Staffordshire area for a week. The cottage is well equipped with a large family kitchen including a freezer and washing machine which were really useful. Our dogs were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed spending time in the enclosed garden. The Swan pub is just around the corner with a great atmosphere and menu served everyday. We enjoyed visiting Rosliston Forestry Centre, Barton Marina, Branston Water Park, Moira Furnace and Donisthorpe Woodland Park, all within 10 miles. We also had a lovely day in Dovedale and went on a Monday when it was quieter.

I recommend they buy a couple of fans for comfort in the heat. They should mount a toilet roll holder as my young granddaughter struggled picking up the roll from the floor. Should explain the refrigerator. I found out by accident that you can't lay milk down as it leaks. Then found a holder in the bottom. There was nice things to do and the playground close by was a big hit.

Comment from Owners -

We would like to say a big thank you to our recent guest for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback following their stay at Walton Cottage. As this was our first booking with children and also the first hot spell we've experienced since opening the cottage, their comments were really helpful. They suggested adding a toilet roll holder, making it easier for little ones to reach, and providing a fan for extra comfort during the warmer weather. We are always listening to our guests and looking for ways to improve, so we are pleased to say that both suggestions have now been put in place. The cottage now has a toilet roll holder and a fan available for guests to use when needed. We really value all feedback, as it helps us make every stay even more comfortable for future guests. Thank you for helping us continue to improve!

Lovely accommodation. Clean, tidy and has everything you need. Great host also. Highly recommend. Thank you :)

Homely, clean and well equipped.

We had a very warm welcome and a wonderful stay at Walton Cottage. The property was amazing, especially the kitchen and was equipped with everything you could possibly want. The house was spotlessly clean. Very dog friendly and a nice secure garden for our dog to play in. We would certainly recommend a stay here. Thank you.

Walton Cottage is absolutely lovely - we had a great stay. Alison and Simon were very accommodating and friendly - even though we arrived quite late. They put a welcome package of tea, coffee, milk and flowers in the cottage which was really nice. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. The beds are comfy and it was spotlessly clean. The location is very peaceful and quiet, but with good transport links. We even extended our stay. We would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back again!
