What our customers say about their holidays

  What a wonderful place which far exceeded my expectations.

  A very warm welcome from both Jane & John who walked me through the house to run me through the operation of the heating, shower, cooking appliances etc and then left us alone to enjoy the peaceful break that we were looking, with the reassurance that they were just next door, or on the end of a phone, had anything untoward happened. I have hired maybe 15-20 cottages over the years and this has got to be one of the best, if not the best. We were holiday sitting my brother's dog and can truly say that the enclosed garden truly was as advertised and the adjacent field where he could run to his heart's content was superb - my own late dog would have loved such facilities which in the past have not delivered in full. Mum wanted to stay another week and if work hadn't been a factor I'd have happily extended our stay - the place was spacious and homely and four people would have more than enough space. Some of the feedback for this property left me a little apprehensive but I'm glad that it didn't dissuade me from booking. The owner can only be honest with the advert and if they tell you there is no wi-fi or it's adjacent to (at times) a busy road then don't complain when you arrive to find just that. Phone signal was excellent though, and so it should be at 1250ft above sea level, so internet access on my smartphone was not an issue. I'd love to return to this gem in the Peak District

  This is a very good property, and the space is great.

  It was well-positioned in the centre of Buxton, easy to park two cars, and extremely comfortable except for one bedroom (hence losing one mark). The house is very well equipped. It was easy to park, and Morrisons is only a walk away. You could have a good holiday here without a car, as everything is so close. Of the three double bedrooms, one has the boiler in, with a sign to not switch it off. However, having the boiler on meant the room roasted, and was extremely difficult to sleep in. Also, the boiler timer ticked incessantly all night, and anyone switching a tap on made a very loud noise in the pipes in that room. You could also hear any noise in the room below from there. My son and his wife who were in the room did switch the boiler off so they could sleep, which meant we had no hot water to shower in the morning until he woke up and we could switch it on again. Inside the house was very clean. However, outside, the gate to the neighbour's back yard was broken and off its hinges (and we had a dog with us), and the passage between the two houses was scruffy, particularly compared to others in the row, with broken slates, etc. on the ground (hence one mark off for cleanliness). Overall, we were very pleased with our stay, which we felt was better than our expectations.

  This is a beautiful cottage, upon arrival my wife immediately unpacked everything into the wardrobes and told me she wants to move in permanently.

  It's clearly very well maintained and looked after. There was a wonderful play area immediately outside which included swings and a slide where my 2 yr old daughter had lots of fun. Its is situated on a dairy farm so we were able to visit the barns where the cows were, they have 3 goats and 4 chickens. The owners live on the farm and were very friendly. They were able to recommend local pubs and restaurants which was great. Inside the cottage we had no mobile reception but we did get reception whilst walking around the farm. The only fault was the cottage wifi wasn't working but the owner explained that the internet provider was due to fix the issue shortly and so we were just unlucky. There's a nice seating area outside where we could enjoy breakfast rather than sitting in the indoor dining area. The lounge was very large and comfortable, the bedrooms were of a good size too. The cottage is surrounded by lots of green, hills and scenery. I would stay here again. It was a 15 minute drive from Tissington village where we attended a wedding. The entire area is filled with beauty and has a lovely and welcoming community.

  One of the best cottages I’ve stayed in!

  Exceptionally well equipped (with games, books, loads of crockery and good quality cooking utensils/pans etc). Very friendly ( but not intrusive) owners and a wonderful welcome pack, which we really appreciated. Comfy beds and lounge furniture. Spotlessly clean and high quality furnishings. Nice and warm. I’m forever grateful to the owner for speedily coming to the rescue with a spare key when I managed to lose the original whilst we were out walking. Thankyou, Pam!! The stairs are very steep (the extra hand rail was much appreciated!) which might be a problem for any infirm visitors, but we managed to negotiate them fine with our middle aged knees! The only thing I could think to improve would be a larger fridge ( or an extra one down in the cellar, alongside the freezer) …. But then we did bring enough food to feed an army. We should probably have just eaten out more at the pub which is directly opposite and serves amazing food!

  Outstanding retreat for a quiet get away from it all.

  Superb location if you have a pet with the private field. Beautifully decorated with original character. Extremely Clean and well fitted out. If you have young ones there is no wi-fi as listed and 4G is patchy, but we saw this as a bonus. The road mentioned in other reviews was hardly noticeable. If you wish to use the Devonshire Arms pub the walk is along the busy road and the opening hours are not all day when we visited closed Monday to Thursday. The only slight downside was the chairs were rather uncomfortable and the shower ran excessively hot or cold with a low pressure. We would highly recommend staying here and would do again. The late check in of 1700 is in our opinion too late especially if you are travelling from afar and with a pet as we were.
