Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, with many reviews highlighting its spotless condition upon arrival. The attention to detail in this regard contributes to the high score, although there is a single mention of a full vacuum cleaner, suggesting a slight room for improvement.
The property's location is frequently commended for its quiet rural setting yet close proximity to Buxton and other attractions in the Peak District. The ease of access to local amenities and walking paths contributes to the high score, with guests finding it an excellent base for exploring the area.
The majority of guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of the warm and cosy atmosphere. However, there are a few comments about the beds being on the soft side and some noise from the plumbing and floorboards, which slightly affects the score.
Reviews highlight the well-stocked kitchen, ample social space, and the presence of a snug and additional living areas. Some guests suggest improvements such as better lighting in bedrooms and more garden space, but overall, the facilities are very well received.
Guests often mention the thoughtful gestures such as the welcome with tea, coffee, and biscuits. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The kitchen was well equipped. It would be beneficial to up date the DVD/TV equipment. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back.

Sadly, however, some of the facilities are beginning to became a little shabby and in need of some TLC. The bedroom we occupied at the far end of the house is case in point, The mattress was very soft with a badly fitted mattress cover which was quite uncomfortable. There is a lack of hanging space and too few drawers for 2 adults staying for 7 days. The shower tray had quite a lot of mildew on the sealant and the the holder for the shower head was in danger of disintegrating. In addition the carpet in the bedroom hall was badly wrinkled and gave an unfortunate appearance associated with a degree of lack of care. The open plan living area is an excellent family space and the 'snug' a real bonus. Unfortunately the appliances seemed as though they were in urgent need of replacing: the front panel of the dishwasher was cracked; the freezer compartment of the main fridge badly needed defrosting; we had difficulty in using one of the two ovens; and one of the door-shelves of the other fridge fell out when the door was opened. The entire let, although potentially really good, needs work doing to it to brig it up to the standard we remember.

Hosts are very helpful. Location is 2-3miles from Buxton so need your own transport. We would recommend.
