"We enjoyed our time in S16569 - however, at our age we did find the sofa rather low and my wife had difficulty getting up from it! That said the property was well appointed and kitted out. When we first used the washing machine the machine would not spin and dry the clothes. This was because the water drain was blocked with what looked like tissue paper pulp and bits of plastic, which we were able to clean out from the front access point. Regrettably, we also found that the top part of the dishwasher was not working and the crockery was not cleaned. This was due to the internal water feed pipe from the from the bottom rotor point had been knocked and was disconnected from its mounting. Once found this was easy to sort out as it just needed to be pushed home. In both these instances once the minor problems had been sorted out the appliances worked fine."

"Nice clean cosy cottage in a good location,very easy to reach National Trust, Mills and the Tram Museum as well as Matlock Bath and Matlock, nice walk uphill to the heights above Middleton with beautiful views with an information centre and cafe. Owners who lived next door were very friendly and helpful as were the other neighbours. Had a bit of a ride though to get provisions. Although back garden was as described it was difficult to access and we did not bother after the first day. The dog had to be taken a walk in local area but open area and small park very close to front of property. Big plus point was the Pub next door, parking is difficult for the cottage but okay for a small car. We were fortunate that the property adjacent was not in use and we were able to use their bay."

"Excellent week. Can recommend walks from the book on Mam Tor and Kinder Scout.  Lovely, easy cycle from Buxton - Bakewell, on Monsal Trail - see leaflets. Windmill pub and Vale Inn are both good. Lyme Park House are also good, but glad we went early - got very busy by the afternoon. The cottage is an excellent base from which to explore the area. The book of walks seemed accurate, with its timings for length of walks, also flat walks along ridge to Shining Tor. Cycled from Blackwell Mill through trees and tunnels, which was relaxing and scenic. Bakewell touristy but pretty. The games room at the cottage was a massive hit. The house was clean and tidy and the welcome hamper, including scones, was wonderful Thank you. "

"The cottage was beautiful. A lovely location and had everything we needed and more.The owners left welcome fruit and wine, which was very kind. Everything was comfortable.The only things that didn't make me rate 10/10 for all was, there were a few comments/situations which didn't make us feel very welcome. Most of the cottage was lovely and clean but some quite obvious areas were dirty. Lots of the kitchen bits were scraped and chipped and there were stains on bedding and towels.Nothing that put me off. I was grateful to have them. It was such a beautiful cottage and location and the pool was fab, even if rather cold. But you get used to it :)"

"The apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Buxton with views of the Old Hall Hotel, the Devonshire Dome (now part of the University of Derby) and the Palace Hotel. It is like staying with a much respected great aunt as there is a lot of furniture and ornaments. However, like some older properties, it could do with an upgrade, especially the bathroom and kitchen. Despite this, it is comfortable and the chair placed by the large lounge windows allows you to spend a lot of time watching the people of Buxton come and go. Also, there aren't many holiday properties where you can sleep in a 6 foot 4 poster bed."
