  Hidden Gem for theme park/peak district combo

  Great last minute find - beautiful farmhouse with charming decor, perfect location for a family trip combining peak district walks and theme park rides. Lock key box worked really well, and was very peaceful stay.

  The carpets had been mentioned by others as a bit of a tripping hazard... they are a bit annoying but this is a very minor complaint, and we moved them a bit so then no problems. Dining room and bathrooms are carpeted too, so was a bit on edge with kids eating pasta... but there were hoovers in several rooms that could use and was fine. Was a tiny bit hard to find the house in the dark when we first arrived, but the directions provided did work.

  Lovely, lovely, lovely

  Booked this place in order to go to Alton Towers. What a find! Normally properties I book don't look like the booking photos but this one is fantastic! Full of old world charm. Brilliant location. Could go for walks through the farmland at the back of the property. Also good for getting to Peak Wildlife Park (well worth a visit). Breakfast essentials provided and welcome hamper greatly appreciated! Will stay again!!

  Couldn't find a colander to strain our pasta in the otherwise brilliantly equipped kitchen - but we managed :)

  Spacious property, great location

  We had a wonderful stay. The property is spacious and features very comfortable beds. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of equipment for cooking. It is also in a fantastic location—close to local attractions but with a peaceful, rural feel.

  The property required a few adjustments to suit our needs. We removed the floor runners immediately to eliminate trip hazards for our elderly guests. In the kitchen, we noticed a few basic items were missing, specifically a jug and a sieve. The bedroom layout was also a bit awkward; the clothing rails felt bulky and stood in the way, though they were necessary as there was no other wardrobe space. While the decor wasn't quite to our personal taste, the property served its purpose once we made these quick adjustments.

  Enjoyable enough stay but...

  Location was Excellent and ideal for Alton towers and Peak wildlife park and also Dovedale where the Stepping stones are and all great days out. Country kitchen was also excellent for Breakfast House was spotless on arrival and a great little welcome hamper and the house has everything in the draws and cupboards you need. Host was good with communication responses at time when your there if need to ask anything or instructions on heating or appliances etc

  Quite a few niggles as quite a few have said & too many for £823 for 3 nights even over Easter, There are too many cushions and knick-knacks and irritating rugs to say the least and were not on holiday to be picking them all up and trying to find room for them & the sofa was very uncomfy in living room (others have said this too) It was very hard to leave the place as clean as when we arrived and we tried hard with granddaughters to do so even to the extent of emptying bins and I even went the extra mile to pick up the outside furniture in windy weather that had blown over in a strong storm as worried I would get blamed and charged from owner. We drew the line at bed linen having to be removed (as owner wanted in the instruction manual on arrival) on checkout as we feel we paid more than enough for this service to be done by cleaners when leaving the property before for next guests arrival, just feel doing most of the job for them as your there to enjoy and be away from usual home routines and we've never done that in any hotel or guest house or even caravans* ever stopped in. (*apart from making up bed linen In them) Note: We will probably now get some bad feedback as owner tends not to take onboard constructive criticism even on polite levels and responds quite abusively as can be seen in previous feedbacks also.
