"Lovely stay, would absolutely recommend!"

9.0

Beautiful property & very peaceful location, just taken over by new owners who were very kind and welcoming. Very clean apart from one questionable stain on one of the armchairs. Felt very private, surprisingly spacious and fab value for money.

The mattress had a bit of a dip on one side but still fine and comfortable for a night. Would recommend bug spray outside in the evening especially around the hot tub as it attracted a lot of flies. No phone signal and wifi didn’t reach the hut but we didn’t mind.

"Exceptional"

10.0

Lovely and cosy just the right size for a couple. Everything you needed was in the property, and we had the lovely hot tub access as well. Property hosts were so friendly and helpful, recommended places for us to visit and local walks within the Peak District.

Nothing everything was spot on and we will be returning again.

"Great night away from reality with partner"

10.0

The facilities were exactly as described, but everything was even better than me and my partner expected. The location was fantastic, nicely secluded and quite private, yet very easy to find just a few minutes off the main road

"Perfect relaxing overnight stay"

9.0

We enjoyed the tranquil location we spent hours in the hot tub relaxing. Nice clean, fully equipped kitchen, reasonable sized hut with comfy bed. I’m not a keen walker but plenty of short walks on the doorstep. Would certainly recommend this gem of a place to our family and friends.

There wasn’t necessarily anything we didn’t like, but it would be beneficial to fill the large potholes as we have a low profile car. Improvement suggestions would be to add an outside fire pit, maybe a couple of outside chairs which could be moved and repositioned.

"Peaceful retreat"

10.0

This was a lovely last minute short valentines break locally and near by our favourite pub and restaurant clean and hot tub was the perfect touch especially when it began to snow

I don’t really have any negative feelings only maybe that the path down to it could be lit better as it was muddy and couldn’t see much

"We would gladly come back again and rememberr to bring the Landie"

8.0

The pub up the road was dead nice We stayed in the hottub for hours The area was so nice and quiet.

The only criticism we had was the lane getting up there. By pure happenstance I took a work van, i wouldnt have got up there in my daily. The lads from London, staying in the house, broke his BM's front vallance trying. I'm not suggesting tarmac it, but deffo scrape off some of the high spots and fill some of the bigger holes with shingle and cement. A bodge.... But works!

"Excellent hut and location, dissappointing tub time!"

6.0

I can't fault the location, the views from the hut were stunning and you're so close to so many different walks if you were staying a long time. Yes it's down a bit of a pot holed lane but you're in the country and my beetle managed it fine! The hut it itself was lovely and had everything you need for a short stay. Well equipped kitchen (if being fussy they could get some matching cutlery and some more glasses as the plastic ones we had were cracked). Bed and chairs comfy. No Internet (which we knew about and no issue with) and very little signal so made to relax and read my book which I enjoyed! Check in was dead easy (just make sure you've got the lockbox number sent via email saved).

The hot tub didn't get above 35 degrees when we were there (despite being set to 38) so we weren't able to enjoy this as much as we wanted. As no Internet or contact number for the place incase of any issues we weren't able to advise the owners of this. It did put a dampener on the stay as we'd specifically booked a place with a tub. There is alot of 'information' around the hut and accommodation/parking areas - while helpful to have and advise about alot of it comes across as quite aggressive (charges will be made!) and I feel this could be reworded to be more friendly and welcoming. It might be helpful to have some information about the local walks, especially as you could just walk from the hut if you were staying a longer time than us. Overall just felt like somewhere people want to rent out to make a little extra cash but to not be bothered by any issues while you're there.
