Guests say
Pine Door is a well-received cottage in Eyam, praised for its cleanliness, cosy comfort, and prime location. Guests enjoyed the local amenities, including the friendly pub and scenic walks. The cottage's homely touches and well-equipped facilities contributed to a delightful stay, despite minor maintenance notes.
Guests consistently noted the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean' and 'spotless'. The high level of cleanliness contributed significantly to the overall positive experience.
The location in the heart of Eyam was highly appreciated for its convenience, beautiful surroundings, and proximity to local attractions and walks, making it an ideal base for exploring the Peak District.
The cottage was frequently described as cosy and comfortable, with comfortable beds and a homely atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned steep stairs and a loose toilet seat, which slightly affected the comfort score.
The property was well-equipped and guests were pleased with the facilities provided. However, there were comments about the steep stairs, an out-of-date carbon monoxide detector, and a non-secure garden for dogs, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches beyond the general provision of facilities and comfort. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for thoughtfulness.

Pine doors is a lovely cottage nestled within the historic village of Eyam. On arrival it was clean, warm and welcoming. Two minutes from the local pub, which serves excellent food with a friendly atmosphere. Pine doors was so nice we have already booked agin for next year! One very, very minor point; please secure the toilet seat securely!

Wonderful cottage with absolutely everything you need. Fabulous location, lots of firewood to make the cottage really cosy. Everything you really need to make it a home from home.Only gripes are the actual width of the stairs are very narrow. I wear a 3-4 shoe and I struggled to put my feet fully on the steps and had to go up and down carefully. The toilet seat was loose and moved around which is only a minor niggle.Absolutely great base for exploring; The village itself is steeped in history. The miners pub do excellent food too.Lots of maps/walks/books in the cottage and it was very peaceful.Highly recommend and we will revisit soon.Thanks for a wonderful break.

A beautiful old cottage in the historic village of Eyam. The log burner was a great asset as the weather had turned a bit colder. The cottage as expected was small so suitable for 1 family or very good friends. Great location with plenty of local walks and things to see in the village. We had a lovely time and hope to revisit the area in the future.
