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

  We agree with other reviews that HeathyLee is a very clean well equipped property in a peaceful location.

  However, it should not be marketed as a 6 person accommodation as the dark 3rd bedroom to the side of the property is unsuitable for 2 adults with a very low beam over one of the beds. A 165cm (5' 5") adult found it hazardous and banged their head several times. The beam is lower than five feet off the ground over the bed. We feel it presents a Health&Safety; issue. The other twin bed in the room has no issues with a beam - therefore HeathyLee is better advertised as a 5 bed property. Another reviewer has commented on the "challenging" nature of the lane leading to the property and perhaps there should be an advisory that large cars, eg, SUV's, large hatchbacks might find it difficult parking, even off- road in front of the property. We liked the village and its amenities and the accessibility to walks surrounding Longnor. We hope this review is taken in the spirit of helpful advice for marketing purposes.

  Overall a really nice cottage and a lovely stay.

  The beds were exceptionally warm and comfortable. Each bedroom had a working TV although tall people be wary of low door frames. The kitchen was very well equipped with cutlery, plates, glasses etc and all the appliances were in clean working order. We did find the very small outside bins a slight issue as it was full when we arrived. The downstairs shower room was very handy water pressure and temperature was excellent. The upstairs bathroom extractor fan was very noisy and we found the downstairs toilet door kept jamming which made a very loud echoing noise. The dining room and sitting room were comfortable. The dvd player did not work and we reported this to the owner but got no response. The carparking was a squeeze. Advertised for 3 cars but this seemed unlikely. Nice pub and fish and chip shop in the village and lots of great walks and views in the area. Thank you for our stay.

  The property is very well appointed & cleanliness is excellent and we had a good, comfortable stay overall.

  Everything is finished to a very good standard & the kitchen equipment is really good & plenty of glasses etc. of a good size are provided. Could not fault this at all. As we commented in the visitor book the downside for us was the water booster pump. This is loud & if someone gets up to use the facilities in the night it does disturb sleep because when you flush the toilet and wash your hands the pump goes. The bathroom taps are also not ideal as they are too small for the sink & the water runs so close to the back of the sink. The main bedroom window latch also needs tightening. The dishwasher was low on salt & rinse aid and none provided - which we understand why - but this does need checking & refilling when asking people to put this on before they finish their stay. We would recommend the property & would stay again.

  The lodge itself was great.

  Well laid out and spacious. We felt spoiled by the cake, it was divine, thank you. We felt like there was a lack of variety of kitchen utensils, basics only, including only one large knife that barely coped with cutting a pineapple. The wood burner worked wonderfully and came with clear instructions, which was helpful! The shower was disappointing, surprisingly old and worn and out of place for the quality of the rest of the lodge. We wish we'd stayed longer and in better weather to take advantage of the outdoor space. (This was an on-route stop for us). The local area was fantastic also and we would like to have explored more. It would also be useful to have some local brochures in the cottage as sometimes internet searches don't reveal local gems. We would certainly return here.
