What Our Guests Say...
Spotlessly clean and well appointed cosy bungalow
Fabulous bungalow well situated for Belper main town. Quiet location with ample parking and friendly neighbours. We were met by the owner on arrival who showed us round and explained everything we needed to know for our stay. Bungalow was spotless and smelt fresh thanks to the White company diffuser and room sprays. 31 Belper met our expectations and more. Absolutely everything we needed was provided and more. The extra special touches such as the welcome pack were very much appreciated. We made good use of the high chair on one occasion which was very handy for our grandson when we met up with family. Ideally located to explore beautiful Derbyshire and stunning walks right on the doorstep. Highly recommended and we will be booking again.
So clean and so much included
We booked this a few months ago and Tracey always responded to emails really quickly. She took the effort on our arrival to meet us to show us around and explain how everything worked – so unusual these days as we are used to key safes.This attention sums up how she wants you to feel on your holiday. There was a lovely welcoming card, gorgeous flowers, chocolates, wine and milk in the fridge. After a long journey it was great to be able to make a coffee on arrival before investigating the local area. Tracey explained that there were plenty of maps and leaflets to look at, she had even printed off information for events happening that week – very thoughtful. There was plenty of extras we were told we could use, like walking poles, rucksacks and flasks to name some. The kitchen is well stocked with lovely Denby crockery, utensils and cleaning products. Plus there was tea, coffee, hot chocolate and condiments. This accommodation would suit a family, 2 couples or just like us 1 couple. It is an incredibly quiet location with a drive for a large car. It was immaculately clean and the garden a joy to sit in. Two minutes from the place are amazing views of Amber Valley so easy to start exploring. We did walk down to the Belper Mill, downhill on the way and uphill burning off our meal from Tom Yum on the way back. We explored the local area, visiting Kedleston Hall and Hardwick Hall, National Trust properties both amazing. We cycled the Tissington Trail and walked from Ilam via Dovedale to Milldale and back, another day we cycled round Carsington Reservoir plus a walk from Cromford up to Black Rock and back down along the canal. We even booked tickets at the Ritz cinema in Belper one evening to watch the Bond movie, free parking on roads outside from 6.00pm. There is so much in this area to explore that you will find something whatever age or athletic ability you are. I had read the good reviews but I am very picky and always book a place with trepidation. I would highly recommend No.31 and would definitely stay here again if visiting Derbyshire even if I wanted to visit more of the areas in the Northern section of the Peak District National Park.
welcoming and comfort accommodation near the Dales.
We were delighted with the comfort and cleanliness of the bungalow. Tracey went beyond what was expected. There was wine and milk in the fridge, flowers on the table, chocolates and shortbread and an amazing choice of teas and coffees in the cupboard. Everywhere was spotless and considerable thought had gone into the visitors stay. The location is ideal for exploring the lovely Dales and the many National Trust properties. Great to visit at any time of the year.
A great place to stay!
The week we spent at no31 Belper was well worth the wait! We enjoyed the comfort and quiet of this lovely bungalow. Tracey was very helpful and made us feel very welcome on arrival. We would definitely recommend it !
Simply the best
Another great stay at No 31 Belper. Could not ask for a better base for a holiday in Derbyshire which is why we return regularly. Tracey ensures that everything you require is in the house including many lovely personal touches. Why go to a hotel when you can enjoy the No 31 experience?
A great place to chill out
We decided to return to No.31 for our holidays this year because we knew from previous experience that it would be a peaceful place to stay as well as being spotlessly clean. There are good transport links from Belper to most places in the Peaks, and also plenty to see in the town itself. Belper has a good selection of local shops; a look around Derwentside Shopping Mill (a large 19th century flour mill packed full of antiques and collectibles) was very interesting but tiring! We also visited Belper River Gardens and enjoyed local country walks from the bungalow. A handy old-fashioned newsagents is just a couple of streets away if you run short of anything, although plentiful supplies of essentials are already provided by the owner, along with a generous welcome pack.
Excellent stay
We have just returned from a wonderful weeks stay. The weather was perfect as was the bungalow. Everything we needed was supplied and Tracey was a perfect host. The location of the bungalow was in a lovely peaceful area with the added bonus of a lovely walk in open countryside just two minutes walk away. There are lots of shops in Belper including a Morrisons for all your grocery needs. We did a tour of the mill in Belper and lots of lovely walks. We also spent a lot of time in the lovely peaceful garden making the most of the beautiful weather and the BBQ. Thank you for a lovely week
Excellent accommodation. Caring and helpful hosts
This is a ‘home from home ‘ bungalow. A full inventory of all kitchen and other item s you could need. Excellent hosts meet you on arrival and are helpful and caring about your stay. Wow what a welcome pack ! High quality flowers, chocolates, Teas, coffee,wine , milk. ( This is how it should be done , other accommodation note! ) bungalow is presented and maintained to a high standard …..everything works ! Good parking and a well maintained garden to sit out in. We hope to return soon.
Yet another great stay in No31
This was or 5 visit to No31 and it will not be or last. This is like home from home for us and the warm welcome from Tracey and Andy is the perfect way to start the escape from the COVID madness. The bungalow is ideally situated to explore the Peak District, Amber Valley and Belper is a lovely town with plenty of facilities. The bungalow has all you need to help make the stay homely and Tracey is just a phone call away if you need assistance.
Great Place to Stay
Lovely views across Belper from the front of the property. Excellent location, in a very quiet close overlooking the town. The property lacks for nothing making it feel like a home from home. Very comfortable. Lovely private south west facing rear garden which catches the sun from lunchtime onwards. Highly recommended.
Simply the best
We visit No 31 annually because it is simply the best. Everything about it is of a high standard. It is very well appointed, Everything you need is there. It has lovely comfortable beds with beautiful bed linen, comfortable furniture, well stocked kitchen and lots of thoughtful extra touches. A pleasant private peaceful garden to enjoy. During these uncertain covid times we knew that all possible precautions would have been taken by the owner.
Another great week in No31 Belper
This was our fourth stay in as many years and we have already booked from 2021. No 31 is a fantastic place to stay for exploring the Peak District and enjoying the hidden gem town of Belper which has all you need in shops, restaurants (Especially Cafe G for the best breakfast and the Hanging Gate for a first class Sunday Lunch) and transport links. There are so many attractions within one hours driving time making this an ideal location to be based.Tracey and Andy always give us a warm welcome and the bungalow is always well presented to a very high standard and feels like home from home. As long as its available we will be back for our yearly visit to enjoy No 31, Belper and the local area.
Highly Recommended
No31 is virtually home from home; quiet, relaxing and comfortable. The property is equipped for all your needs, from kitchen utensils to outside furniture. The views from the front of the property across the Derwent Valley and towards Belper are beautiful. It has a secluded private rear garden populated with a variety of shrubs and flowers and provides a great place to chill out at the end of the day after exploring the local area and the picturesque Derbyshire Dales.
Lovely Family accommodation
The house is well situated so as to be near to all the main attractions in the Peak DIstrict. We were about 30 minutes drive from Bakewell and 20 minutes from Derby. The house is fully equipped with everything that you need and we were welcomed with tea, coffee, milk, chocolates and flowers to make us feel at home. The two double bedrooms are really comfy, the master King size bed especially! We took our 18month old and were even provided a travel cot with all the linen and blankets and high chair. Great value for money.
Best place in Belper
Second time we have stayed here and will definitely return. Quiet with friendly neighbours and well equipped. Tracy and Andy are super hosts. Thank you very much and see you soon. Definitely recommend this accommodation 5 stars
Fab
Lovely place to stay in a nice quiet neighbourhood. Ideal for us as a family. Very nicely maintained and decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook proper meals from scratch and having little sandwich bags and cling film etc helped us to take packed lunches with us on days out. Tracey was fab at answering my questions in advance and met us at the holiday home to quickly show us where everything was and give us the keys. We would be very happy to stay again!
Perfect
Another great stay at no 31. Everything we needed was provided and we felt really ‘at home’ in this comfortable, impeccably clean property. A great place to stay.
Lovely stay
Great location and in such a quite area. I really had no idea about Belper but loved the walking and cycling and history. It’s so well situated for visiting the Derbyshire attractions. the bus service was brilliant. restaurants and pubs in Belper were really great and friendly. Great bungalow Tracey made everything so welcoming. Everything you need and more was available in the bungalow. Thank you for everything you really made us feel special
A stunning home from home.
We have stayed here 2 years running and have had a fantastic time on both occasions. You want for nothing in the accommodation, everything that you need for your holiday can be found here. This is the most well furnished and equipped holiday let we have ever stopped in. The welcome pack is also second to none. We will be staying here again as soon as possible. Many thanks to Tracey for all her hard work.
Ideal holiday home
No 31 is our idea of the perfect holiday home. Well equipped, very comfortable and ideally situated for exploring Derbyshire. All the ownwer’s extra touches and attention to detail make our visit so enjoyable. That’s why we keep coming back year after year. We cannot imagine finding anything better.
Excellent
Stayed for a week as going to a family wedding. The home was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Spotless & beautiful bedding & towels. Flowers chocolate & welcome card waiting for our arrival & tea, coffee & milk in the fridge. Hope to stay again this year when visiting family.
first class holiday
Really enjoyed our holiday Tracey was so helpful chocolates wine etc and flowers were lovely will be hopefully be coming next year bungalow was well equipped and clean and quiet
Excellent place to explore the Peak District
When we arrived we were met by the owner Tracey who showed us around and provided helpful advice on places to see and parking in the area. The property was immaculate and everything was clean and tidy. The owner clearly takes great pride in it. She had thought of everything to ensure a comfortable stay and gave us a lovely welcome pack including wine chocolates and flowers. The weather was superb and was the icing on the cake making for a thoroughly enjoyable weeks holiday.
Peaceful and great location
Excellent location for the Peak District. The bungalow was equipped with everything you could wish for and a lovely welcome pack. Would love to stay here again.
Another wonder week in No31 Belper
Thank you Tracey and Andy for another warm welcome to No 31 Belper. This was our third visit to this lovely bungalow and it did not disappoint from the lovely flowers, chocolates, wine, coffee and the most important milk to start the brews. From the start we all felt at home with this well equipped bungalow that covers all our needs. Belper is a lovely town to explore with plenty of shops and eateries. Cafe G is a must for the cooked Breakfast with very friendly management and low prices and the Sunday Roast served up at the Hanging Gate ten minutes away on the Ashbourne road was first class. This bungalow is in a ideal location for exploring the surrounding countryside and if your into gardens Cascades Gardens at Bonsall is well worth a visit. We enjoy coming to this bungalow which is so well maintained by Tracey and Andy. Plus the local area has so much to offer that we are already planning a fourth visit for next year.
Great property and location
Both host and property were excellent nothing was a problem.. the property is in a great location for walks in country side or 15-20 walk to town which has everything you need.. the property is spotless everything you will need for your stay .. the beds are really comfortable and area is really quiet with lovely neighbors.. I would definitely recommend this property and would definitely go back .. That’s why I’m giving host and property a 10/10
A peaceful place to stay
We had a lovely time over Christmas & New Year; it was very quiet and relaxing. The generous welcome basket and flowers were much appreciated. The bungalow was nicely decorated for Christmas and everything was spotlessly clean. Loads of information provided on local attractions and places to visit. Would highly recommend staying here.
A special pre Christmas stay, just perfect
We have just spent another week here our second stay just before Christmas at No 31. This bungalow is wonderfully cosy, beautifully decorated and furnished, plenty of hot water, comfy bed and warm duvet, very well equipped with everything you need and more. The more being a wonderful welcome basket brimming with goodies, a gorgeous decorated Christmas tree and house decorations. There’s plenty to do in Derbyshire in the winter and it must be a popular season, as it was still very busy, plenty of walks, seeing Chatsworth House decorated for Christmas was a highlight, lazy lunches in the pub and then back to No 31, Tracey has made our pre Christmas break very special. Thank you. We love visiting this area and will stay again, so much so, we’ve already booked for next year.
Most relaxing
My wife and I sayed here with one of our French friends. Although we are both from this area originally it was a pleasure to return and share the hidden benefits of Belper with our friend. The house was perfect and We would have no hesitation in advising people to stay here.
Always Book it if available
It is so comfortable, supplied with everything we needed. Just right for visiting relation in Belper and ideal for visiting Peak district, Chatsworth, Denby pottery Derby, Masson Mills always worth a visit. The Joiners Arms in Quarndon superb food , but need to book.
The best property in the Peak District that we have stayed in.
Everything about this property was perfect. Everything that you could possibly need (and more) was provided. The beds were so comfortable and the cleanliness was second to none. After visiting Derbyshire annually for the last 23 years, we have finally found a property that we will return to. Thank you so much Tracey.
Wonderful, cozy bungalow!
From the moment we walked in we knew we had picked well. The bungalow was so well equipped but also very comfortable to stay in. The beds were a welcome sleep haven after our long walks and days out. The flowers and extra goodies were a very thoughtful touch from Tracey as well as all the information/guides available to read through. It is not just a base for a holiday, it does feel like your home and it was lovely to know you were going back there after a days adventure in the Peak District!
Excellent, such attention to detail.
Set on the edge of the Peak District the location is wonderful. The bungalow was perfect for our stay and had everything you could wish for. I can’t praise it enough. I would recommend to anyone.
Peaceful, pristine bungalow, with so much to do nearby
The bungalow had everything you would need and Tracey had thought of so much more. Not only the lovely welcome items, such as flowers, wine, chocolates, fresh coffee and milk to name but a few but the use of rucksacks and flasks should you need them and handy items in the kitchen such as cling film and foil. The bungalow is very clean and tidy making it a relaxing and comfortable break in a very peaceful area and very accessible to the vast array of places to visit nearby. We stayed for a week and the only problem was that it didn’t seem long enough!
Fantastic bungalow, great location
Tracey is there to greet you upon arrival and take you through everything you need to know. The bungalow itself is great, there were 4 of us and we had plenty of room. It is well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Location wise it was great as all the place we wanted to visit were within 30 mins drive. Garden was peaceful and great place to relax after a busy day. Flowers and chocolates on arrival and a bottle of cooling in the fridge for us……bliss!!
Fabulous holiday house
This is our third visit to No 31 Belper and we love it. We could not wish for a better base for exploring delightful Derbyshire The property is always immaculate and the owner thinks of everything to make your stay a comfortable and happy one. Comfortable lounge , comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and a secluded garden to relax in. This is the ideal home from home holiday let.
Happy Holiday
Tracey was there to meet us and showed us around. There were fresh flowers and yummy chocolates along with chocolate buttons for the children. We had milk in the fridge for tea, a packet of coffee and wine for later. The beds had been made up with duvets but the weather was very hot so Tracey left extra top sheets and we just slept under them. It was very thoughtful. The place was spotlessly clean with plenty of towels. It may not be an ultra modern property but it was comfortable and we felt very relaxed. Also provided are a mountain of leaflets for local attractions and we were well placed to visit many of them. We could have spent another week exploring as there are so many things to do. We would certainly recommend to others. We’ve had a lovely break.
Great base for exploring Derbyshire/Peak District
The property was lovely and was easily the best equipped out of any holiday home we have stayed in, with lots of thoughtful extras. Tracey (the owner) was really helpful and gave us lots of suggestions of things to do in the area with our young son.
Immaculate, well equiped ‘home from home’.
Have just returned from a wonderful week in Belper, This bungalow was immaculately clean throughout, fitted out with everything you could possibly want for a weeks holiday. Was met on arrival by owner who also left a welcome pack of teas, coffees and milk as well as wine, chocolates and flowers. Outside there is a wonderful garden in which to sit and relax at the end of the day. Hope to return very soon.
Excellent
Excellent bungalow and facilities, Tracey was an excellent host, nothing was too much trouble and all the additional “goodies” made the stay very enjoyable – thank you for the care and attention. Area is a brilliant area to visit, so much to see and do, not enough days to do it all in.
Another Cossy stay at No 31
This was our second stay in this comfortable, clean, well equipped bungalow. Although it was cold outside we were cozy and warm inside and our daughter loves the bed and duvet. Tracey makes you feel very welcome and is always available if needed. Belper is a lovely town with plenty of shops and places to eat and is ideally situated for exploring the Peak District and local area.
Delightful, Relaxing Property.
We received a warm welcome from our host Tracey, she had left us milk a bottle of wine also flowers and 3 lovely Easter eggs , such a nice touch. The bungalow was spotless and well maintained and is very well equipped all you need is to buy food for your stay. There is plenty of tourist literature available to help you make the most of your stay. After a long day exploring the area it was nice to return home to relax at No 31 in its tranquil location. I don’t think you will find a more quiet relaxing property in the Dales. Hope we may be able to return in the future.
Delightful, relaxing, everything you could want or need.
We had a perfect, relaxing stay in this wonderful house in Derbyshire. Tracey was a fantastic host, and ensured that we had everything we needed. Attention to detail really made the cottage stand out, right down to the beautiful flowers, welcome basket with Chocolates, jam and proper coffee plus she left us milk and a lovely bottle of wine in the fridge. It was cozy and warm with very comfortable beds and a great living space. Overall, we were very impressed and couldn’t fault our stay. No 31 was perfect, would definitely return!
A comfortable well equipped bungalow.
The property is in a quiet area just out of town, it is walkable if you have good mobility & don’t mind the hills. The bungalow is very well equipped & we were welcomed by Tracey & given all the information of the area we could wish for. A good find.
A lovely clean, comfortable well equipped bungalow, warm, good beds & a private garden, a good find.
We had a lovely stay at the bungalow,Tracey was welcoming & there was all the information for Belper & surrounding area we could wish for. The town centre is pleasant with the usual shops but also an assortment of specialist shops.The luxury treats were enjoyed,for once it lived up to my expectations, we’ll be back.
A Tranquil & Perfect Stay
We spent just a week at No 31 (wish it could have been longer!) and were SO happy. The property isn’t your traditional stone cottage but hey who cares, it was far far better than most of the cottages we have stayed in previously, one being able to park on the drive, knowing we didn’t have to do battle at the end of our day out and being stressed at having to find a suitable parking space like some cottages we have stayed in previously, this to us is one of the many things that made our holiday. it was perfect and could not be more ‘home-from-home’.
Guest service from Tracey, the owner of No 31, was fantastic. She was very efficient and thorough with all communication via email, she even sent us a location map, and text and was very pleased to offer assistance if required. On the day of arrival we were warmly greeted and given a guided tour. We were delighted to be given a “Welcome” basket of goodies including beautiful flowers, Chocolates, Jam and a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge and more. There was even 4 pints milk in the fridge so we could make a hot drink (with the tea and coffee provided) and settle in before needing to go out shopping. She was very obliging and happy to help.
My wife and I absolutely loved the property, a little gem of a find, It has been tastefully furnished and were delighted to find that it looks even nicer and is more spacious when inside than it looks in the photos. The lounge is bright and airy. Tracey really has thought of everything that guests may need, there has been so much thought put in to equipping the cottage and attention to detail everything you need and more. The garden is also a wonderful space and very private for us to sit out in (table and chairs provided) and take in the peace and quiet. There are lovely walks at the back, the views are superb. It is very tranquil.
In terms of self-catering, because the kitchen is so well equipped you could really choose a variety of things to cook and you’d highly likely find all the utensils etc you needed to cook/prepare it. Plus my wife loved the Denby.
We were very lucky with the weather but should you need to/choose to stay in there is lots to do. A selection of magazines/ bookcase of books/games for various ages/ a tv, dvd and video player (bring your own DVD’s). Having wifi was also a big bonus, great connection.
As you can tell from our review we really enjoyed our stay at No 31.
Thank you so much Tracey for our wonderful stay.
Lovely bungalow, very comfortable, fantastic welcome.
This is a nice 2 bedroom bungalow on the outskirts of Belper. The bungalow is very well equipped with lots of little extras which make the holiday special. There is a fantastic amount of tourist literature to help you make the most of your stay. The welcome card, flowers and chocolates were nice touches.
Home away from home
Tracey was a wonderful host . We were a family with a 16month old and Tracey had a cot and highchair and many toys for her to enjoy! There is a park around the corner and the neighbourhood is quiet. We felt very welcome and settled in easily. We were welcomed with flowers, chocolate, and even milk to make a cuppa! The beds were comfy and much appreciated. There is nothing negative to say, only good things. We hope to return again !
Fantastic…
