Snaptrip says
Lees Farm in the Peak District offers a remote, peaceful setting with stunning views and a cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the charm of log burners. The property's location provides direct access to nature and is ideal for walks and relaxation. While the approach road is noted as rough, the seclusion and beauty of the location are well-regarded.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with guests finding it well-maintained. However, there are isolated comments about musty smells and the need for a deeper clean of carpets, which slightly affects the score.
The location scores highly due to its stunning, remote setting with panoramic views and proximity to local attractions. The challenging access road is a minor concern but does not significantly detract from the overall appreciation of the location.
Guests find the farmhouse warm and cosy, especially with the underfloor heating and log burners. Some guests mention issues with mattresses and heating in certain rooms, which slightly lowers the comfort score.
The property is well-equipped for guests' needs, particularly the kitchen. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as broken furniture, lighting, and minor leaks, which suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While guests have mentioned welcome treats and appreciated them, there is not enough consistent information across reviews to accurately score thoughtfulness. As such, the score is set to null, and it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed.
About this property
Priestcliffe 1 mile.
A superb, stone-built detached farmhouse on a remote hillside, with wonderful views across the awe-inspiring Monsal Valley, just under a mile from the hamlet of Priestcliffe, in the High Peak. Lees Farm has been restored to provide outstanding accommodation of character and charm in the most enviable of positions. The property boasts a spacious sitting room with dining area and woodburning stove, a cosy snug with woodburning stove, and a well-equipped kitchen with range cooker. Walkers and mountain bikers will be spoilt for choice with many bridleways, a nature reserve and tracks and footpaths through magnificent open moors and countryside. For those wishing to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and tranquillity, this is the one for you.
This small hamlet of farms and houses sits between Taddington, Monsal Head and the River Wye in the Peak District. It has some spectacular scenery and Monsal Head is famed for the magnificent view along Monsal Dale and the Wye Valley, and offers some amazing walks. The Monsal Trail takes walkers along a former Midland Railway track, over a majestic viaduct above the river and into a tunnel which goes beneath Monsal Head, understandably making this a popular route with walkers. Bakewell, a picturesque market town, lies just seven miles away and has a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs, and there is a farmer's market held once a week, usually on a Monday. This area makes a fantastic base for a holiday in this stunning location.

Its location is to die for . Ideal for every one wanting to get away from the world , but also driving distance to many more beautiful attractions and experiences. The house its self is fantastic, everything is provided in the way of towels, and bedding. It's very clean and comfortable and a joy to spend time there

Would love to go back here again. Definitely a location I would love to live. The cottage had lots of rooms and really enjoyed the log burners and the bath was amazing. Cottage had everything we needed except a pen so we couldnât write in the book sorry.
