Guests say
Squirrel Cottage in Glossop is a beautifully decorated and well-equipped holiday home, praised for its cosy atmosphere, cleanliness, and excellent location close to both the Peak District and local amenities. Guests particularly enjoyed the hot tub, unique mezzanine snug, and thoughtful touches throughout. The property is ideal for walkers, families, and those seeking a relaxing break. While parking and garden privacy were occasionally mentioned as minor drawbacks, the overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights the cottage’s charm, comfort, and suitability for a memorable stay.
Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with multiple guests describing the cottage as spotless, immaculate, and well-maintained. Only one or two minor mentions of untidy outdoor areas were noted, but these did not detract from the overall impression.

Guests found the cottage cosy, comfortable, and well-suited for families and couples. The beds are described as very comfortable, and the snug area is a favourite. A few guests mentioned a preference for a sofa over armchairs, and one noted the cottage was cold during their stay, but overall comfort remains high.
Facilities such as the hot tub, monsoon shower, underfloor heating, and well-equipped kitchen are highly appreciated. Some minor suggestions included a small table in the lounge and a squeegee for the wet room. Occasional maintenance issues (e.g., blown bulbs, hot tub temperature) were mentioned but did not significantly impact overall satisfaction.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, toiletries, snacks, and helpful guides. While these gestures are appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely cottage. Excellent location perfect for a break away. Only down side is parking. There's a great park a couple of minutes walk away to exercise dogs and kids and plenty of pus and shops a short stroll away. Will be coming back in the future
