  Positives:- owners left me to it after the initial welcome which i prefer, not a fan of owners checking in all the time.

  they left a welcome pack with homemade marmalade which was tasty, some shortbread , different types of tea and coffee. fresh milk in the fridge. bed was comfy and nice thick duvet that kept warm but doesnt make you sweat. had all the amenities you would want, lots of cutterly,plates,salt/pepper/spices etc great views and peaceful issues: Heating is controlled by the owner so if you are cold you would need to ask them to turn it up etc, which just feels like im complaining so i never did and just wore more things. there is no curtains at the front of the conservatory and only netted ones around the sides. the front faces the owners wall with a window in it(they dont ever seem to use this room) which doesnt feel very private at night where you cant see out but they can see in. It's a shared garden which wraps around the house with gates that have lots of space for any sized dog to get through. i broke a knob on a cupboard door moving the spare chairs around to make room, sorry about this. overall it was a good experience that could of been made great with the above issues addressed. 4.4/5 stars

  The house itself was spotless and the kitchen was well equipped.

  Good quality bedlinen and towels. Welcome pack was much appreciated. Very good WiFi and smart tv. We stayed 4 out of 5 days mainly due to the fact that I did not find the sofas or any of the beds comfortable - especially the creaky metal one. Also the traffic was loud as most of it was quarry lorries. My partner was fine but my back wasn’t. Also there was no mention of proximity to a HUGE quarry which never seemed to stop producing dust, noise or lorry traffic. The parking was really tight and we ended up with a wheel arch scrape trying to position the car in the small space and the lane was blocked further up all week by a builders van which meant a perilous reverse out onto a busy road. Also the back view is of untended rear gardens and rubbish which we weren’t expecting and was a bit disappointing. On the plus side the neighbours were friendly and there was a pleasant,safe dog walk over the road. I am glad we came but now knowing what the area is like we won’t return as there is too much industry and it is very busy.

  We left after one night.

  Overwhelming smell of smoke from the broken chimney stack. White stone walls in the sitting room are grey with it. Mould spores everywhere, behind beds, corners, windows etc. Leak in utility so floor had puddles. Sheets hadn’t been changed. Stained and wrinkled so called owner and told where sheets were (locked in eaves, sitting on floor with mouse traps and mould on walls). Mould in eaves wardrobe. Dirty kitchen, oven. Uncomfortable beds. Vintage one unsafe as not bolted together tightly and moves. Sofa dirty and cushions paper thin. Had shower and flooded downstairs toilet out and that was the last straw. Obviously happened before as ceilings have old water stains. Got refund for remaining 6 nights but really upsetting. Took photos and shared with Sykes. Only saving grace is the glorious location.

  We enjoyed our stay at Alma Road.

  The cottage was cosy and comfortable and ideally located to visit all of the sites we planned to see including Mam Tor, Stanage Edge and Lyme. We had everything we needed for our stay and found the cottage relaxing to return to after a long walk. We only managed to park in the layby at the top of the road twice in a week, but there were always spaces available further down the road and in the village as explained in the description. Over all we enjoyed our stay and found the cottage comfortable however we feel it was let down by the bathroom which has a mould problem (as did all rooms around the window ledges) and lack of deep cleaning- the essentials were clean and hygienic, but there were thick layers of dust elsewhere, e.g. around the bed and the bathroom extractor fan.

  The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean.

  Sofa could have done with a hoover, fridge was definitely not as clean as it should have been. There was plenty of china but minimal cutlery and utensils. WiFi was shocking. Electric charging point great. Location to town was fantastic. Parking can be tricky if other people are staying and park inconviently otherwise good - marked bays might be helpful. Perhaps a mirror in the second bedroom. Already been mentioned but blinds needed downstairs on the patio door. Garden needs a little attention, astro turf didn't fit . Also cushions for furniture kept out all the time. Beds very comfy, Overall good location, comfy stay Henry the hoover might need some freshener in it as it was little smelly when used.
