Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean and tidy' with 'no Covid worries'. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The location is generally well-received for its tranquility and proximity to walking trails and local attractions. However, one review notes that the property is in Staffordshire, not the Peak District, which could affect the expectations of some guests.
Reviewers frequently highlight the comfort of the property, particularly the 'super king bed' and 'cosy' atmosphere. The underfloor heating and log burner are also appreciated for adding to the comfort level.
Facilities such as the hot tub, log burner, and modern appliances are frequently praised. The maintenance of these facilities is implied to be good, with only minor suggestions for improvements, such as updating garden photos and replacing frying pans.
Many reviews express gratitude for the 'thoughtful' welcome gifts, which include items like Prosecco and bread. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such gestures, while indicative of the hosts' thoughtfulness, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Very warm and cosy, the bed was very comfortable indeed. Plenty of cleaning products and little essentials like tin foil and dishwasher tabs. The hot tub was welcoming after those long country walks.
