Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found The Shooting Lodge to be clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few reviews mentioned areas needing improvement, such as dust and cobwebs, which slightly affected the overall cleanliness perception.
The location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to nature and wildlife. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the Peak District, with guests enjoying the remote setting and the scenic surroundings.
Guests report a high level of comfort, with compliments on the cosy beds and the lodge's warm atmosphere. The wood burner is a highlight for many, although a few guests mentioned the firmness of the bed as a personal preference.
The lodge is generally well-equipped, with guests appreciating the thoughtful touches and amenities. Some guests felt that additional facilities like an iron or a toaster would enhance the experience, and there were occasional comments about the shower temperature.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the reviews, with mentions of welcome biscuits, tea, coffee, and milk. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The cottage is absolutely lovely. Cozy bed, well functioning kitchen and bathroom and super cost efficient fireplace! Few logs and you can enjoy it slow burn all evening. The owners are lovely and gives you all the privacy. There are few more guest houses on the farm, but we havenât seen or heard anyone just the birds and visiting well wishing red deers! Good location too, easy drive to Bakewell as well as Roaches, Ludâs Church and Thorâs cave. Plenty of secure parking on the property. Recommended.

We knew the owners were on standby, but they didn't get involved with us and left us to our own devices. Perfect. All the things you'd want were available within the excellent cottage/shooting lodge.
