We were a bit snowed in but that didn't stop us enjoying Buxton and the local scenery. Our hosts were lovely and very generous. They provided us with a laid fire, wine and scones on our arrival which was a lovely touch. They even provided us with additional logs for the fire given the extreme weather we were experiencing. Any issues we had they were very attentive and helpful. The house itself was cosy nicely furnished with everything you'd need. It was well placed to travel into Buxton and the surrounding areas. The garden and hot tub also had everything you might need (albeit the garden was under a blanket of 6 inch snow so we can't comment too much on that!). The house was very warm and the log burner was brilliant at kicking out some heat to warm us up. We did find the living room TV to be a touch slow but it worked adequately. We did feel there needed to be a few more soft furnishings around, such as on the sofa, and some new pillows provided as they weren't the comfiest (we have been told by the owner that they plan to replace these asap so that was reassuring and good to know for future stays). All in all we had a fabulous stay and would absolutely recommend Shenton Cottage to others. The owners were lovely and helpful, the local area very beautiful and the cottage a nice, cosy place to stay. We definitely plan to return again.

Super cozy and comfortable. A home away from home. Lovely log burner in living room and fabulous hot tub too, both great for relaxing. A nice walk to local town. Hosts were super helpful and there to answer any questions and had a nice welcome of fresh scones. Highly recommend and would go again.
