The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to Bakewell, Chatsworth House, and the stunning English countryside, making it an ideal base for exploration.
The cottage is described as cosy and inviting, with a large bath and swimming pool adding to the comfort. However, some guests note the lack of internal doors and practicality in the bathroom area, which affects the overall comfort level.
Facilities like the swimming pool and games room are appreciated, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as non-working lights and a leaking roof in the leisure area, as well as a lack of firewood and basic amenities.
While a guest mentioned receiving a bottle of champagne, this seems to be an isolated incident and not a consistent offering, so it's not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available reviews.

Perfect location for touring the area and very dog friendly. The maintenance chap Mark was super friendly and very busy as he has a lot of grounds to maintain. We could not use pool as we have dogs which meant someone has to be with them and there is no lone swimming. Understandable but disappointing. Little tip, take take salt and pepper as none provided and extra bin bags and washing up liquid. Would definitely come back.

The Love Nest is an ample sized 2 person property on a complex of other holiday lets. The maintenance guy, is super friendly and an asset to the complex without a doubt. The Love Nest is quirky inside, but this has overshone practicality. There are no internal doors, so privacy is not an option. The main room housing the bed and lounge area leads straight into the bathroom without a door, which means at night you are woken with the bathroom light being on should you need to use the toilet. The toilet doesnât have a door either so you will âhearâ your partner in there as no soundproofing, the curtain to draw across is un hygienic , you pull across to give a little modesty but having using the toilet means you touch the curtain before washing your hands after. Not hygienic at all. The bath is modern and sleek but super slippy, be careful, I slipped and found it un relaxing at all. For safety I would provide an anti slip mat, Iâm not old and found this a hazard. We used the swimming pool and games room daily, a great addition to the complex, but does need some tlc. Overall, I would return but some adjustments to Love Nest are needed. I canât comment on the other properties, but they looked nice.
