My stay was from August 25 - 28, 2023.
I was apparently the first person to rent this lovely one-bedroom house since the owner (Mike) renovated it. I must say he did an excellent job as everything inside is brand new, from the flooring to the doors to the electrical outlets, which have built-in USB charge ports - a nice touch!
He has a 3-ring binder on site with detailed instructions on how to use everything in the house. If you aren't familiar with UK-style constructions, the door handles work a little differently than I've ever seen (I am from the US) they have latches that you have to manually engage by pulling the handle upwards (effortlessly), which creates a very nice lock on the doors, not that they would ever be necessary as the neighborhood is pristine!
He has both satellite and off-the-air television on a flat panel TV in the living room and a smaller flat panel that runs from the standard antenna in the upstairs bedroom. Both have HDMI ports if you're inclined to plug in a laptop or whatever. The Internet clocked in at around 75 Mbps down and I think maybe 25 up. Certainly, enough bandwidth for any need, even if you brought an Xbox.
The kitchen is well stocked with all brand new appliances, including an electric oven and convection stove, dishwasher, fridge/ freezer, and a microwave that is I believe 1200 watts. With a variety of pots and pans and an array of utilities, you could prepare any standard meal without concern for needed tools or utensils.
The sink does not have a garbage disposal but I'm not sure if that's a common thing out there or not, I never thought to ask.
Mike is a great host. Very friendly and helpful. I could not have had a better experience. If and when I go back to Glossop (I didn't have nearly enough time this visit), I will be looking to see if this is available because I can't imagine needing to stay anywhere else. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is quiet.
I did mention to Mike that he might consider installing a handle in the shower as some might need that, and maybe a garbage disposal would be a good idea, but here again, they may not be accustomed to using those in the UK. I don't consider these to be problems, but the space was here so I mentioned it... there simply isn't a single thing wrong with this house.
