Guests say

Willow Brook is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and excellent location. Guests enjoyed the ample facilities, including table tennis and football tables, and found it ideal for family gatherings. The property's thoughtful touches, such as welcome treats, were appreciated, although minor maintenance issues were noted.

Reviews consistently mention the property being very clean, with only a few minor comments about specific cleaning issues. The overall impression is that the property maintains high standards of cleanliness.

The location is highly praised for its convenience and quiet setting, with easy access to local amenities and the Peak District. It is described as perfect for both relaxation and exploration.

Guests found the property comfortable, with spacious rooms and cosy living areas. The large beds and multiple sitting areas were particularly appreciated, contributing to a homely feel.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the entertainment options like table tennis. However, some reviews mention minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvement, such as the dishwasher's performance and heating controls, which slightly lower the score.

The property owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome treats and quick responses to queries. While these gestures are warmly mentioned, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, may vary and are not guaranteed.

With a spacious, high-quality interior and much to do in the immediate area, this is a fine place to base a fun-packed break with families, couples or friends. Willow Brook's sumptuous hallway immediately gives a welcoming feel; on the ground floor you can choose from three stylish, yet cosy sitting areas to unwind after a day of hiking the nearby Peak District National Park. The first sitting room boasts a TV and a warming open fire, it's a delightful spot to spend some quality time together after the sun goes down. This floor also hosts a stunning open-plan living room, complete with an excellently equipped and contemporary kitchen with an American fridge/freezer and a modern dining table to enjoy each meal at. This cottage is set over three floors, the two upper floors are where you will find the heart-warming bedrooms and bathrooms. The first floor showcases a luxurious shower room and a bathroom with a sunken bath, enabling you to get ready for your day in style. Three of the six bedrooms benefit from classy en-suite facilities and all bedrooms are finished to an exquisite standard. One of the rooms comes with patio doors leading to a wonderful roof terrace overlooking the nearby Long Clough Brook, a delightful spot to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of a busy day. When the sun comes out, make the most of your enclosed courtyard garden, or well-kept lawn area.

    However, whilst it could so easily be transformed into a five star gold category, we can only award it four stars due to a variety of minor issues. These include cleaning (a dirty toilet, dirty mattress protectors and dog mess in the garden), maintenance (e.g. non-working heating in several bedrooms and bathrooms, non-working TV in one bedroom, loose shower door handle), lack of basic facilities and materials (e.g. no tray/shelf for soap/shampoo in some showers, soap or shampoo was not supplied in all bathrooms, no washing up brush / pan scourer, no ball for the table football machine) and a rather stingy welcome pack. It is also the first time that I have been requested to strip the bedding before leaving a rental property. A more major feature is the severe creaking from floorboards and staircase - enough to awaken guests. Most of the items listed could be easily, quickly and cheaply rectified and so allow the property to be fully rated as five star gold.

    We had a couple of problems resulting from the change in the internet supplier but they were quickly resolved.
