This is an excellent holiday cottage. It is exceptionally clean and comfortable and really does feel like home from home. All 3 bedrooms are all of a good size and have enquires and as a bonus there is a really useful utility room with washing machine and tumble drier. The location in Monyash is fabulous for walking and is so near Buxton, BakewellRead more and Ashbourne. There is a fantastic pub as well as a cafe in the village - both are closed on Mondays. Just be aware that there is no Vodafone signal available in the village but there is good free WiFi in the cottage. Hide

Nice cottage, nice village, pub excellent. It's a shame about the 9am finish on the last day - makes for a very hurried exit. An hour extra to have a leisurely breakfast would make an enormous difference to the end of a holiday

Wonderfully comfy, warm, spotless and really well equipped cottage in a beautiful village. Great walks and places to visit around the area. Our only criticism would be a 'Welcome Pack' that included bread would be a good idea, as there is no village shop. The sitting room is very cosy and great for just watching TV but if you want to just read a stRead moreandard lamp would be much appreciated as there is no central light. We had a lovely holiday at the cottage. Thank you very much. Hide

Very well equipped property, super clean and great location for exploring the Peake District. Only a few minor gripes. Firstly having to strip the beds prior to leaving and putting sheets in a laundry bag - as cleaning is included in the price, why did we have to do that? The second minor issue is the heating - the heating setting was set too highRead more and timed for much longer than was necessary - this is very wasteful of energy. Finally, the sofas. They look as if they could do with being replaced. Not very comfortable and look a little shabby. These are minor points - we thoroughly enjoyed staying at the property and owuld be pleased to recommend it. Hide

Lovely cottage. Expensive. Lacked wood for lounge fire. No roasting tin. Twin bedroom had a "let light in" blind. Garden poorly maintained. Overgrown with weeds leaving no space for garden chairs around table. Ugly garden table and chairs. BUT MAIN ISSUE was boiler flue was at face height and pointing directly at our mouths as we sat there. Hence wRead moree could not sit there if boiler in use....anyone showering or washing dishes. Would be interested to know if this is within HEALTH & SAFETY GUIDLINES. But cottage was as described and we enjoyed it. Hide

The cottage was everything we could have wanted except for. 1.The bedroom blinds were very light with no other option to keep the room dark in early morning light. We used a travelling rug to cover it. 2. The boiler in the garden emitted very powerful and likely toxic fumes, smoke when "on". It made sitting out in the back garden very difficult. WeRead more turned all radiators and towel rails off to prevent the fumes. This would not prevent us booking the same cottage again. Hide
