Guests say
Stenson Hill Farm is highly praised as a spacious and well-equipped property, ideal for large family gatherings or groups of friends. Guests particularly enjoyed the extensive communal areas, games room, tennis court, and large garden, which cater well to all ages. The kitchen is well-suited for catering to big groups, and the hosts are noted for their warm welcome. While some minor issues such as dated décor, low water pressure, and occasional cleanliness concerns were mentioned, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the property clean and tidy, though a few noted areas needing improvement, such as some en-suites requiring a deeper clean and occasional pet hair in communal spaces. Overall, cleanliness met expectations for a large group property.
The property is conveniently located near local amenities and Derby, yet feels private and secluded. Some guests mentioned road, rail, and air traffic noise, but most appreciated the balance between accessibility and tranquillity.
Guests consistently highlighted the comfort of the spacious bedrooms, ample bathrooms, and multiple living areas. Some noted minor issues with bed sizes and water pressure, but overall comfort was rated highly, especially for large groups.
Facilities such as the games room, tennis court, large kitchen, and outdoor spaces were frequently praised. A few maintenance issues were mentioned, including dated décor and some showers needing refurbishment, but the range and quality of amenities were a standout feature.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as a warm welcome from the hosts and complimentary samosas on arrival. While these gestures were well received, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.
