What our customers say about their holidays

  The location of the property is ideal for visiting Bakewell and the surrounding area.

  However, the property is in need of some redecorating in places and was not particularly well-cleaned on our arrival, especially the kitchen/oven/fridge. The bottom oven did not work at all and my email regarding this has not been replied to by your company (neither was a previous one I sent with regard to extending our stay). The tap in the kitchen often fell off as did one of the bottom outside boards on one of the cupboards. There is insufficient cutlery (forks). The shower is tricky to use - there is a very fine line between extremely hot and freezing cold and water leaks out of the back of the shower head. The shower is positioned in the narrowest part of the bath and causes extreme condensation as there is no fan in the bathroom. Generally, there is a lot of condensation on the cottage windows. The parking situation is very tight for two cars, especially as it is advisable to reverse park due to the regularly busy traffic when wishing to drive out. The area outside the cottage is covered in foliage and therefore very slippy after rain or frost. The downstairs area is comfortable and cozy (living & dining room) and the bedrooms are well-sized, with comfortable beds.

  The Snug is a really lovely cottage - exactly as described, ideal for my husband, myself and our small dog.

  It was immaculately clean and provided everthing we needed for a relaxing week away. It's own garden, with bistro table and 2 chairs, was a particularly lovely benefit for both us and Wilson. Although the weather wasn't great and not nice enough to eat dinner outside, we had breakfast/lunch outside on several days. Maybe not a bad thing that it wasn't hot and sunny, otherwise we'd have happily sat outside all week, read our books and not visited the various places we did! The various "ornamental finishing touches" were very tasteful and the information folder about the property very comprehensive. The really lovely "extra" though was the Doggy Welcome Pack, which was much appreciated by Wilson, especially the treats and tennis ball. The Rising Sun pub at the beginning of the Village was a good recommendation for food, or just to walk to for a drink. We definitely want to visit the Peak District again and would want to stay at The Snug, it's name is appropriate and description accurate. It enabled us to enjoy a relaxing week away, which was exactly what we needed.

  Negative: When we arrived (on a dark November afternoon) the heating was off.

  We spent an hour trying to get the heating to come on using the thermostat. Eventually we found the heating was off at the boiler. We never managed to get the thermostat to work and managed the eating by turning it on and off manually. The lighting in the dining room is poor so we couldnt easily read the heating instructions. The Radiator in the bedroom was turned off. The bedside light in the main bedroom had no bulb. There was a 9" by 6“ hole in the bathroom ceiling by the light switch. Looks like an electrician did some work in the roof space and didn't close it up. There is a 6" step down on the drive that it would be very easy to damage your car on or twist your ankle. There was nowhere to put drinks etc while watching TV, we brought a bedside table down from upstairs. General cleanliness was "ok" at best. Positive: Comfy bed! Great location near town. Hot shower! Lots of wine glasses

  Thank you for letting us stay in your cottage, the cottage is in a perfect location for exploring Bakewell and the Peak District.

  The cottage its self appears luxurious with on trend decor. It wasn’t particularly suited for dogs as there was carpet in the lounge which we didn’t want to spoil. So we had to sit in the dining room which was very dark, this meant we went out a lot of the time. The bed were made up with lovely linen, however the mattress was v basic and uncomfortable. The bathroom requires an overhaul or some mould management and a new blind as it is all very mouldy. The decor is generally good, although flaking off in places due to damp. There were lots of ants within the house including on carpetted areas. It was unclear if the fire could/should be used. No wood provided and no instructions. So we didn’t take the risk. Which was a shame as after a long days walking we usually enjoy sitting on a comfy chair and having a fire. All in all, the cottage met our needs but does require some improvements.

  Beautiful and cosy little cottage in a lovely quiet village close to lots of places to visit and a perfect base for exploring the area. Owner and everyone in the village were friendly and helpful. Private garden to front was well used and lots of walks to be had from the front door. Smart TV and wifi worked well with half decent mobile signal. Kitchen well supplied and a cake and brew making gear provided on arrival and very welcome. Double bed was super comfy and shower nice and powerful. Bakewell, Matlock, Chatsworth and plenty of other spots 15-20mins drive with great range of supermarkets, cafes and pubs. Highly recommend Chatsworth gardens for a day out and Ilam Hall was lovely. Lots of prehistoric sites in the area, Nine Sisters, Minninglow, Arbor Low and great photos to be had from Chrome Hill near Langnor. All in a great holiday for man and dog and would be happy to come back.
