What our customers say about their holidays

  The site manager responded very quickly to our request for a shower stool. She definitely put her customers first which is what I call top notch service. Thank you Karen. This cottage has been well designed and is very comfortable. It is well equipped and the Wi-Fi speed is very good. So long as you position your seat correctly, there is a lovely countryside view across the valley with both livestock (sheep and cows) and wildlife (rabbits, hares and many different birds) to keep you entertained. We did that a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it. In the other direction there is a factory building in the yard you drive through to reach the cottage, three wind turbines and a row of pylons and cables. The factory building was quite noisy with constantly running machinery during working hours. As it was quite cold for our visit this was not a problem as you cannot hear it inside the cottage at all, but I suspect it would detract from sitting outside in better weather. The downstairs bedroom has the most storage space and a much larger shower room which is very good indeed. It has a king-size bed. The upstairs (only half-a floor up really) has a super king-size bed but a much smaller shower room and no wardrobe - just a row of pegs with hangers. Both bedrooms have a good amount of drawer space. As we rented the cottage as a couple (just two of us) we slept in the upper bedroom to have the advantage of a cosier room with a bigger bed, but kept our clothes in the downstairs one and used the downstairs shower room. It is a shame they did not put a super-king downstairs as well as there is plenty of room, but using the two rooms in the way that we did worked well and we were very happy with the arrangement. As usual, there were a couple of quirky aspects to the design like the hand-woven carpet in the downstairs bedroom which was extremely rough to walk on in bare feet and, because there was such a huge amount of cooking equipment, there was not actually any cupboard space to store food - just one empty drawer. We enjoyed our stay in Griffedale and we would recommend it to those of our friends who we know, like us, would enjoy the views on its good side. For the future, the addition of a charging point for electric cars would be much appreciated and, within a few more years, will become essential.

  A charming and comfortable cottage in a stunningly beautiful and very peaceful location on a steep hill farm. Perfect for three (as in our case) or four adults. Rooms are very well appointed, and the beds are extremely comfortable! A few minor remarks: the state of cleaning on arrival left something to be desired (cobwebs everywhere, food debris and broken glass in dishwasher filter, hairs in shower drains) - from this and the visitor book, it looked as if we were the first guests for a while and it hadn't been cleaned on the day of our arrival. There were only just enough glasses and cutlery, so we had to wash up/run the dishwasher frequently (only 5 teaspoons!). Finally the photos may give the impression that shower gel is provided, but it isn't so remember to bring your own. But apart from that, this is a lovely property and very well situated to explore the southern half of the Peak District National Park. We had an excellent week here.

  Really beautiful bungalow set in glorious countryside. Extremely clean and well looked after. Would of given top marks for equipment except for the shower floor. The shower itself is brilliant but the wet floor idea is very poor! The water just doesn't drain away and consequently the whole bathroom floods to literally 1 inch deep. The water even reached under the washing machine! It then takes an age to drain away and it is then impossible for someone else to use the toilet or have a shave. Recommend that the outflow is improved, a proper shower tray installed and a proper side and door installed. 9.5 out of 10 for the rest of the bungalow. I've clicked on no for recommendation purely because of the shower.

  A little piece of heaven. It was wonderful to arrive at the cottage, unlock the door and walk through to an immaculately presented space for us to be staying in. We loved the kitchen and dining area/conservatory. The beds were so comfortable and the bed linen very soft. We sat outside and listened to the silence. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant in Wirksworth. And we spent a whole day at Chatsworth House which took all day to see as much as we could. We won't come back because we have so many other places to explore, but we will remember the day we arrived. It did not disappoint and we have recommended the cottage to our friends.

  Everything is perfect but a DVD Player and suggestion visitors bring DVDs as TV reliant on WIFI and this is tricky in the area also we could only access programs on BBC I player - no other station and this was intermittent but the weather was very cold and frosty so that could be why. However lots of books to read :) One of the best-equipped and friendly cottages we have stayed at and such a lot to do in the area. The cottage is isolated but we love that in a place for peace - Highly recommended (amazing cupcakes and good wine for our welcome as well.
