Excellent

Unfortunately due to a mix-up on my part, our trip had to be cut short. I would have liked to have stayed longer. The property itself is comfortable, well-equipped, cosy, and in a fantastic rural location. My daughter loved the outside play area, and we enjoyed a stroll through the field to Carsington Water. It's a good location for exploring local attractions such as Arkwright's Mill. The garden space is also fab with a wonderful view to the fields at the back, shame we didn't get ideal weather to use it. However I was disappointed with some of the housekeeping. I went to have a bath with my young daughter on arrival, only to find a huge clump of blonde hair stuck to the tiles, along with lots of soap-splashes. There's no way that the tiles can have been cleaned since the last occupant used the shower. There were also many visible finger marks on the fridge drawer, the TV stand was very dusty, and - this probably can't be helped to some degree - there were little bits of what looked like dead petals/seed cases all over the upstairs beds and on top of the fireplace, which were very hard to clear up without a hoover so they were just everywhere in the bedrooms. They will have blown down via the chimney and the upstairs velux windows which were left slightly open before we arrived. The rest of the house seemed well-maintained but I felt let down by these details, especially given the enhanced focus on hygiene at the moment. I'd like to go back at some point as the location is stunning, and overall it's a very comfortable property but did feel the cleaning situation let it down a bit.

Well appointed property with all mod cons. Clean and well-equipped. Perfect for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle!

Lovely little cottage with private terrace garden looking over the fields and well placed for enjoying the Peak District

Clean and tidy. Setting beautiful. Lots of local pubs to eat at and near attractions. New furniture. comfy beds. Beds are not full singles, but okay for our boys. A few bits missing for 6 guests. No Wi-Fi. Very imited tv channels. Okay for us but could be a problem for others. Games room and tennis courts brilliant!
