Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently mention the property being 'very clean' and 'spotlessly clean', indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the cottage.

The location is described as peaceful and perfect for exploring the Peak District, with easy access to local amenities and walks. The proximity to a train line is noted, but guests quickly adapted.

Reviews highlight the 'huge comfy sofa', 'very comfy beds', and the overall cosy and comfortable atmosphere of the cottage, suggesting a high level of comfort for guests.

Facilities like the hot tub, broadband, and streaming services are highly appreciated. Some guests suggested minor improvements, such as grab handles and securing blind cords, but overall the facilities are well-regarded.

While the reviews reflect positively on the owners' helpfulness and the property's amenities, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

    Would be a nice enough place if fitted with blackout blinds.

    The kids loved the hot tub and we used it everyday. I would very much recommend staying here.

  • John

    The accommodation had a high quality feel, and the hot tub and outside area were really lovely. We had a little dog with us and it was nice to be able to close the gates and let him free in the outside area. The grassed area outside the rear of the cottage was nicely kept and a great place to let our dog have a run around. Once you arrive and come down the drive to the property you can tell the place is very well maintained, the grass and hedgerows were all cut very neatly which gives a really nice first impression. The owners were friendly and helpful but didn't intrude at all, but it was nice knowing they were around if we needed them. The scenery around the farm is stunning and you only have to walk straight out of the door to appreciate the beautiful setting. Thanks again!
