Edge view, outdoor adventure focused cottage, sleeps 8

I rarely leave negative reviews, and I do so only when I feel it's important to share an honest experience. Unfortunately, I feel that some of the previous reviews did not reflect the issues we encountered during our stay as two families with young children and babies. To start with the positives, the property is in a lovely location, is very spacious, and the host appeared friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.

We were disappointed by the overall standard of cleanliness and maintenance, particularly given that we were travelling with young children. There was a noticeable damp smell in several rooms, and when opening a number of wardrobes and built-in storage cupboards, we found visible mildew and mould. The children's bedroom, which contains two double bunk beds, had mildew and mould spores visible on the wall inside the wardrobe. In the rear bedroom, the lining paper was peeling due to damp, and some of the radiators were rusty, with flakes having fallen onto the carpet. We had been advised that a highchair would be available. There were three highchairs stored in a kitchen cupboard, but the cupboard itself showed signs of mould, and the highchairs appeared to have mildew on them, meaning we did not feel comfortable using them. There were also a number of maintenance issues. The oven only worked when a timer was set, the extractor hood was heavily coated with grease and grime, and the dishwasher door did not stay open properly and would spring back unexpectedly. This created a safety concern when loading it with a baby nearby. The dishwasher also had a strong unpleasant odour, suggesting it may require a thorough clean. The vacuum cleaner was damaged around the hose connection, causing it to detach repeatedly during use. We also found the fridge temperature difficult to regulate: it was not sufficiently cold on arrival, but after increasing the setting slightly, some of our food had frozen by the following day. In the bathrooms, the sealant and grout were stained and showed signs of mould, and the shower squeegee was also mouldy and unusable. There were open gaps around the toilet boxing in both bathrooms, and we even found a slug in the en-suite bathroom on Saturday evening. Overall, while the location and size of the property were excellent, our stay was overshadowed by concerns about cleanliness, maintenance, and hygiene.

I stayed there with 3 friends for a university reunion. Obviously it sleeps 8 people so there was plenty of space, a great large kitchen to use, plenty of games, big TV and sound bar, plenty of kitchen stuff to use as well. Everything was thought out and great. Pizzas from the Garden Centre next door are a must as well.

Location is just 20 mins walk from Bamford so was a little trek to the Anglers Rest pub, however this is my fault for not checking!

Well sized property with 2 very generous king sized bedrooms and very comfy beds. Excellent kitchen table, and good proportioned rooms.

The property is tired and in need of a good deep clean and some attention to most areas to bring it up to a reasonable level that we would expect from a holiday rental. The photos on the site are deceptive for the garden areas. Kitchen window is misted up. Gardens need some TLC. Dust and cobwebs particularly in the bunk bedrooms. Tv remote in lounge batteries were dead. Tv in bed room didn’t work. Worth noting that the train line is just behind the property.

Property with a great room constellation and sizes, host very communicative and helpful, brilliant location for activities and exploring but if the weather is bad there are games and options at base!

The property is amazing, huge space with all we need. The surroundings are a plus, you have plenty of options for hikes around, and also Bamford, which is also great for a walk and pub time!

Everything was perfect, but it would be great if there is an option to leave the luggage after check out so we can explore even more the area without worrying about this, but that is just a suggestion.
