Manor House is a spacious and well-appointed property in the Peak District, highly praised for its ample room, beautiful garden, and suitability for large groups and families. Guests enjoyed the privacy, location, and the extra touches like a playset and gym. While some minor maintenance issues were noted, the overall experience was very positive, with many guests planning to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally described as very clean and comfortable, with guests expressing satisfaction with the standards of cleanliness. There were minor comments about cobwebs, suggesting room for improvement, but these did not detract significantly from the overall experience.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to local attractions and amenities, with beautiful views and a convenient base for exploring the area. Some guests found it slightly challenging to find initially, indicating that while the location is generally excellent, clearer directions could enhance the experience.
Guests found the property very comfortable, with plenty of space, comfortable bedrooms, and a user-friendly kitchen. However, some guests mentioned issues with temperature control and soft beds, suggesting that while comfort is high, there is room for improvement in these areas.
The facilities, including a playset, gym, and well-equipped kitchen, were well-received. The addition of a hot tub was mentioned as a positive upgrade. However, guests noted some maintenance issues like non-working appliances and the need for a knife sharpener, indicating that while facilities are good, maintenance could be better attended to.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience with many thoughtful touches, there is no mention of gifts or special extras that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

5 I would have , the reason for losing marks on cleanness - cobwebs - which we removed , windows we cleaned them in the kitchen , A full loaded dishwasher that had to be emptied and it was really stacked - I donât expect to have to do that and the bbq was disgraceful , green furry mould on the grill .clearly this has not been looked at for ages so canât blame the previous guests. Another couple of things the internal jacuzzi had not been cleaned when it was switched on it covered the children in black slime we had the clean it ourselves , finally there was a leak in the bathroom near the utility from the toilet , we reported it and service was excellent repaired same day . All of that aside this would be a 5!star property , quality of the fixtures and fittings are great , well Stocked kitchen with utensils, plates, glasses and cutlery . Masses of space for families or friends not to fairly on top of each other . Ample parking , massive outdoor space with the immaculate hot tub and childrenâs play area . We would book property again as Iâm sure the points Iâve feedback on will be acted on seeing how well they dealt with the leak . Overall loved this property , location and feel of the place - it has the wow factor from the moment you drive along the road to it , it is stunning ! You wonât be disappointed booking a holiday here .

The Manor House is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and furnished to a high standard. The hot tub was much appreciated and well-used! We would certainly stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a larger property in a rural location

We were a family of 10 ranging from 2-65. It had enough space for all of us and plenty of bathrooms. Itâs in a lovely area, beautiful views and close to a small town. We got a food order delivered no problems when we arrived. The house and kitchen were well equipped. The only thing we found to be missing was a whisk and a clothes horse. Neither were a major issue. As we stayed in winter drying some clothes were hard without a clothes horse. The gym and hot tub were a great addition to the house. The kids loved the space inside and out. The play area was perfect for the two 5 year olds. A few things that need maintenance: - The door from the gym to outside doesnât unlock. - There were cobwebs everywhere, every room floor and ceilings. A good clean all over would be useful. - Some of the glasses are so thin cleaning them they just split. The thicker champagne flutes were better and will prevent less breakages. - Maybe some local walking routes if you know any added to the book. - One of the double beds is really soft, and it dips at the edges, so hard for 2 adults to sleep in it comfortably. We loved our stay, we are fairly local but would definitely stay here again with a large group. Perfect for a family or friends get together.
