Guests say
Headlands Farm is a beautifully presented cottage in a stunning, peaceful location with breathtaking views over the Peak District. Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful touches, making it an ideal base for exploring nearby towns and countryside. The property is dog-friendly and perfect for families, with ample space and modern amenities. Some minor issues were noted, such as firm mattresses, a lack of secure garden fencing for dogs, and occasional maintenance needs, but these did not detract from the overall positive experience. The cottage offers a relaxing and memorable stay in a picturesque rural setting.
The majority of guests found the property spotlessly clean and well presented, with only a couple of isolated comments about minor cleaning issues in the upstairs shower room. Overall, cleanliness is a clear strength.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, peaceful rural setting, and convenient access to Buxton, Bakewell, and local walks. A few guests mentioned it was a little tricky to find, but this did not detract from the overall positive impression.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, spacious, and homely, with underfloor heating and beautiful furnishings. The main negative mentioned was the firmness of the mattresses, which some found too hard, but most still enjoyed a restful stay.
The cottage is described as exceptionally well equipped, especially the kitchen, and includes amenities such as EV charging. Minor maintenance issues (dripping taps, creaky stairs) and suggestions for additional kitchen items were noted but did not significantly impact guests' enjoyment.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates on arrival, as well as the overall attention to detail in the property. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We spent a fantastic week at Headlands Farm. We had great weather to explore near by Luds Church, The Roaches (beautiful at sun set) & Tittesworth Reservoir where we had a lovely meal at The Lazy Trout. Buxton 10 mins away Bakewell 30 mins. Walks from the cottage also.We were a family of 6 with a small dog we had plenty of room. The cottage is well equipped. We loved the glass front in the dining room / kitchen. The views were stunning. Plenty of room for parking.We will definitely return.

Remote but lovely cottage with great views. We stayed with our dog and on 2 afternoons a large dog appeared in the garden. Luckily the door was closed as the dog became very aggressive before walking off. We didn't feel we could safely leave the door open or let our dog out in the garden on her own. Tap dripping in kitchen, 2nd step on stairs needs fixing and floor boards very creaky. Cleaning of the upstairs shower room was not great. Black mold around shower tray and skirting boards very dusty. We left a note for the owner on departure. Despite these problems it didn't stop us enjoying our stay and exploring the area.
