absolutely immaculate throughout. The cottages are so cute and quirky.

we booked 2 cottages but it wasn’t clear or explained to us that we’d be in cottages around 4 mins walk from each other. sounds minor but the group felt so split. up.

very poor for the money

we had a very poor experience the light outside was broken and kept flashing through the window all through the night and woke us up 4 or 5 times and the in the morning went to use the milk provided and was out of date so had to go to the local shop and buy some more … the staff told me that feedback would be given back to the staff looking after the buildings but would have expected more back from them for such a poor experience

lovely cottage with character, great escape for a night away if you want to stay in

beautiful decorated cottage, and facilities were great.

could do with a dust, as several cob webs throughout

Very private suited our needs Needs more signage

nice location, comfortable beds and lovely and clean. nicely made up

no kitchen facilities just a kettle, no fridge or anything

Lovely decorated and finished room. We were here for a wedding so did not really get time to appreciate the room and location. I think we would return in the future to explore the local area. Did not really interact with the staff other than to get a code to access the cottage. Easy parking next to the cottage, and little outdoor space and table to enjoy the sunshine. Room has a wetroom for shower and toilet with all the basics you need.

No fridge in the room, which was not an issue for our 1 night stay, but would of found it inconvenient if I had been staying longer. Unfortunate circumstance that the room/bedding was set up for winter weather but had been a really sunny day and mild night. Made the room a little stuffy and for a warm nights sleep as did not want to leave the ground level window open while we slept. which was the only cooling option and no spare bedding for milder weather.

The cottage was lovely, exactly what we needed for our visit.

Unfortunately there was an alarm in the cottage next door that was going off the entire night, so we had barely any sleep due to the alarm beeping continuously. If this hadn’t have happened then the stay would have been Fab! We got back to the cottage at approximately 9pm and the alarm was goi f on until 6.30am, it stopped for an hour and then started again!

Perfect location to stay for a wedding at Carlton Towers. 5 mins walk. Cottage is really comfortable. Huge downstairs bathroom, cosy sitting room and 2 comfortable bedrooms upstairs. No kitchen or fridge. Kettle and tea/ coffee/ water provided. Lovely setting on edge of estate near Carlton pub and shop.

I didn’t have time to try the beautiful roll top bath. Wet room style shower very powerful but floor got rather sloppy so take care. Head for Stapleton Cottages. This wasn’t on booking unless I missed it, but phone answered very quickly and directions given when we got lost.

The beds was very comfy and looked a lovely little cottage

Although the place was clean, there was lots of cobwebs around. No coat hangers available in the wardrobe, no fridge in room and no lighting on the 5-10 minute walk to the main house so was pitch black and had to use phone torches to be able to get there…unfortunately not good value overall for the money we paid.

Ideal for us as we wanted to be on the estate at Carlton Towers for a historic tour at 9am - that was the reason for our visit. Cottage is in the estate/grounds of the house. Don’t know if you are allowed to walk in any of it - there wasn’t any information but worth a visit if it’s open. Cafe at vineyard was just further up the same track. There was a cooker so we were able to cook a meal the night before & make breakfast before our visit. Enough cutlery & china crockery for 4 of us, although I think someone had pinched the saucers! 3 bedrooms so perfect for our needs - one small single & one double upstairs. A double off the living room (no separate door to that room) Brilliant shower over the bath & lots of hot water. Plenty of space to park. Clean. Lots of fluffy towels.

Not clear when booking which properties have which facilities, when we arrived this one was Parkgate Cottage 1 but I didn’t know that until I collected the key. All felt a bit vague. Helpful information about how to find the property & key collection was only provided once I had asked - this would have been useful if sent automatically. If we had stayed longer a table would have been handy, it stated that there was outside seating but there wasn’t. Plenty of space in courtyard for that & a shame that that space isn’t utilised further as it could be a real asset to the place. Road is quite noisy but that’s not the fault of the property, just it’s location. We sensed the accommodation would usually be used perhaps by wedding guests or those at events at Carlton Towers. As one night stays this place is perfect but it would be cramped for a holiday.

The room was lovely with a fab walk in shower & huge very comfortable bed

Outdoor patio furniture was advertised in the private courtyard but there was none ☹️ and it would have lovely to be able to sit out as the smell of the lavender was wonderful Only 1 hanger in the wardrobe 🤷🏼‍♀️

I honestly can’t say anything good about this place

The place is awful. The beds are really uncomfortable and rock hard. The front room furniture is from a dolls house and pathetic. The hot water packed up and we couldn’t get anyone to fix it as no one works after 6pm which is shocking. We finally got a reply the next day. Offered compensation but have yet to receive it. Feel totally let down by the venue and Booking.com who promised the earth but did nothing. I can honestly say this is the worst place I have ever stayed and would tell everyone not to stay here
