We had a lovely holiday in the cottage.. It was spacious, comfortable and had an amazing view over the fields.
It is well located near to the village of Hathersage with nice butchers, bakers, fruit and veg shop and a few outdoor shops. Definitely recommend it.
It was great for our little girl as there was a high chair, bath mat, changing mat all provided and a great sandpit table in the garden.
There were just a few things that we were a bit disappointed with. It wasn’t clear from any of the pictures or description that the cottage was right on the road with cars, lorries, buses going by. There is also a train track at the bottom of the hill. It wasn’t quite the cottage in the middle of nowhere that the pictures implied. That said, the amazing view does make up for it and, if you are used to a bit of road noise where you live, then this probably wouldn’t bother you. Our toddler loved watching the trains!
A few things needed a bit of attention, like the back door wouldn’t close/lock property, downstairs toilet was in the process of being done up so had unpainted walls etc. All of the kitchen cupboards were a bit of a mess with pans thrown in and we had to wash all cups, glasses, plates etc. before we could use anything. Think the dishwasher just needed some rinse aid which we bought, as it clearly wasn’t washing things properly. There were also quite a few cracked and chipped items which needed putting in the bin.
Don’t want to put people off staying here through as the cottage really was lovely and it looked like they are in the process of doing things up where needed. Just a bit more attention to kitchen cleaning and that would solve the issues.
As I said, the view couldn’t be better and this is a great value cottage in a perfect area of the Peaks.
