We arrived after dark and the process of collecting the key was a little more difficult. The key box wasn't well lit and I had to use my phone torch whilst also trying to read the combination from the email and move the dials. The gates didn't open very well which made getting our luggage through difficult. Once in the property, we were greeted with milk, eggs, cereal and bread which was a really nice touch especially as we were hungry and in the middle of the countryside. We had an issue on arrival and the host rectified this straightaway. She was incredibly pleasant and gave us a very good recommendation for a local activity: maze52.com

The whole key collection process was quite stressful as the key box and area wasn't well lit and the gates didn't open properly. Also, the dripping tap was a tad annoying but in keeping with our Halloween stay 😉

There were a couple of nice touches like milk & butter in the fridge upon arrival.

Upon entering the property, we observed a large hole in the door that had been temporarily fixed with duct tape. We then encountered an exceptionally steep, narrow staircase leading to a bed positioned directly beneath a sloping roof, making it impossible to sit up without hitting one's head. Please disregard the images provided. The rental consists of a single compact room that serves as a bedroom, kitchen, and living area all in one. The beams were covered in a layer of dust and cobwebs, and the provided dressing gowns were grey, threadbare, and extemely stiff. The overall cleanliness of the property was lacking, and we soon discovered the mesh screens on the two small windows and fly tape in the draws were there to address an issue with flies. The aforementioned kitchen draws were covered in warning tape & hanging off. To our dismay, we also discovered a flea infestation within the premises. Consequently, we had no choice but to pack our belongings and vacate the property within an hour. The property owner attempted to hold us responsible for the flea infestation, but we possess photographic evidence of flea eggs and larvae beneath the bed, proving their presence prior to our arrival. The owner refused to accept any responsibility or help with any potential solutions & continued to blame us for a problem very obviously there before our arrival. To this date, the owner is still refusing any kind of recompense. We are still pursuing this. Despite the aforementioned issues, we acknowledge the thoughtful gesture of providing milk and butter in the refrigerator upon our arrival. As someone raised in a rural environment, I appreciate rustic charm; however, the conditions of this bedsit rendered it unsuitable for habitation.

It was cosy and comfy and had everything we needed. I travelled alone with my dog and felt very safe, we had a lovely stay. He had treats and a snuggly bed and I had slippers and a robe! We both slept very well. Rachel was so helpful with all the instructions and information and left us a lovely breakfast hamper. Great value and location for exploring.

Wifi was a bit hit and miss which didn’t bother me at all as I like to get away from the screen when I’m away and read a book.

Welcome pack was much appreciated, communication was good, price was decent untill we got there , then I thought it was overpriced unfortunately.

Pictures made it look a lot nicer unfortunately 😕 not comfortable, shower damaged , so had to hold it to use it. Very unpleasant on the eye unfortunately . And being 6ft I had to duck everywhere , even to have a pee. Smacked my head every time I lifted my head off the pillow🤕🤕

It was cosy and quiet

Comfortable

The property was in a quaint little village in the Derbyshire countryside, beautiful location and very quiet and tranquil. The little touches like eggs, bread, milk, butter and cereal were very thoughtful.

We really enjoyed our short stay, and will look at staying again in the future. Everything was made available, that we could ever require in the apartment. Even the dog was left a bag of treats and a bed to sleep in. The provided robes were an excellent touch, and useful for letting the dog out at 6am! It is in a lovely quiet location to recharge the batteries.

Bed was a little softer than we are used to, but that is a personal preference, so it is hard to please everyone.
