Guests say
The Pig Sty in Chesterfield is a well-received cottage, praised for its comfort, welcoming hosts, and excellent location for exploring the Peak District. Guests enjoy the cosy atmosphere, well-equipped rooms, and the luxury of a hot tub. The property offers a serene setting with beautiful views and is within easy reach of local attractions and pubs.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, though there was an isolated complaint about kitchen appliances' cleanliness, which the owners attempted to rectify promptly.
The location is highly praised for its serenity, proximity to the Peak District, and local amenities like pubs and walks, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and exploration.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's comfort, with cosy and well-equipped rooms. However, some noted steep stairs and TV control challenges for those less mobile.
The facilities, including the hot tub, are generally appreciated, but there were minor issues with Wi-Fi and kitchen items. Maintenance responsiveness is good, with efforts made to address any problems.
While the reviews reflect the hosts' hospitality and the provision of various amenities, there is no specific mention of gifts, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in this regard.

Really helpful hosts. Quite spacious for the price paid. V pleasant courtyard set up with rural view down towards woods at rear. Ensuite is in twin room , not double--just be aware of that, and folks much over 6ft might find it awkward using wc so close to bath in main bathroom. We were unlucky with weather--heavy rain does cause spray across hot tub in spite of roof over if v windy ! Overalll v good though and we hope to re-book.
