Guests say
Gem Cottage in Buxton is praised for its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and convenient location for exploring the Peak District. Guests appreciate the comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, and the added bonus of parking. The cottage's charm and the thoughtful touches like treats for both humans and dogs are well-received, although some guests mention steep stairs and a small fridge as minor drawbacks.
Most guests found Gem Cottage to be clean, with only a few mentioning cobwebs and pet hair. The bathroom and kitchen were noted to be very clean, suggesting a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and convenience for hill walking and visiting local attractions. The village of Longnor is appreciated for its amenities, and the proximity to the Dales and Peak District makes it an ideal base for exploration.
The comfort of Gem Cottage is well-regarded, with guests mentioning a comfortable bed and cosy atmosphere. However, some guests noted the stone flooring could be cold and the steep stairs might be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and parking space. However, some guests reported issues with the freezer compartment and the shower, and a desire for better recycling options and a handrail for the stairs.
While guests have mentioned receiving treats and found them to be a lovely gesture, there is not enough information to determine if such thoughtfulness is consistent across all stays. Therefore, it should be noted that such treats are a delightful surprise but not guaranteed.
