Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers repeatedly mention the spotless and immaculate condition of the property, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness that contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The property is lauded for its great location with beautiful scenery and proximity to the countryside, making it an ideal spot for guests seeking a peaceful retreat or adventures in the Peak District.
The comfort of the property is well-regarded, with special mentions of a comfortable bed and cosy rooms. However, a single mention of an uncomfortable sofa slightly impacts the otherwise excellent feedback in this category.
Facilities like the hot tub, cooking amenities, and well-equipped kitchen are frequently praised. Maintenance appears to be attentive, with the hot tub being a highlight. A minor issue with noisy pipes is noted, but does not detract significantly from the overall high standard.
The host's thoughtfulness is evident through the consistent mention of complimentary items such as flowers and Prosecco. While these gifts are greatly appreciated by guests, it is politely noted that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Dene
We were met by Karl who was very proud of his property and pointed out the complimentary bottle of Prosecco and flowers before explaining everything we needed to know including how to work the hot tub. The area is so peaceful yet there is plenty to do within a few miles away. We really only went to chill out and relax for the week so spent most of our time in The Den and even though itâs not a huge place we felt very comfortable and at home. I can definitely recommend the place and will return

Karl and his "crew" have an absolute gem and are excellent in everything you can think of in your stay. Christine and I had a 3-night break and it was total rest and relaxation. The accommodation is top notch, facilities second to none and the hot tub was the highlight...a total indulgence! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really enjoyed talking to Karl as we were leaving...a nice touch, as he asked if anything could be added or we had any ideas on improvements. We would definitely recommend the break and the site for a relaxing getaway from the stresses of everyday life and look forward to our next visit! Keep up the good work Karl 'n' the Gang...5*****
