  • "The cottage was lovely, very clean and well equipped in a lovely peaceful location with stacks to do in the area."

    A welcome basket greeted us containing Derbyshire oatcakes, eggs and lollipops! We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend Folds Lane Farmhouse. The following comments are by no means deal breakers and on the whole did not detract too greatly from our enjoyment of the holiday. We appreciate the welcome basket but milk would be lovely and practical. We stayed in winter and experienced some cold weather. Upstairs was very toasty warm with temperature controlled radiators but we ended up turning to zero overnight to avoid being woken by noise in bedrooms from the boiler / central heating. Unfortunately the underfloor heating didn't appear to be functional in the sitting room which meant we had to light the fire every evening to be able to use the room. We found plenty of logs for sale at the Community Food Bank bookstore and cafe. We cooked every night and could have used some additional serving dishes / ovenproof dishes as the only one provided was very large.

    Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review — we’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the welcome basket and peaceful location. We’re sorry about the missing milk — that was an oversight on our part, and we appreciate you pointing it out. Regarding the heating, the lounge underfloor system is on a separate control panel, so we’ll ensure the instructions are clearer for future guests. Thank you also for your helpful note about the dishes — we’ll be adding a few smaller ones to our collection of six to better suit smaller groups. It’s wonderful to hear you’d recommend Folds Lane Farmhouse, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon! King regards, Emily & Sam Property Owner

  • "What a beautiful cottage in a bucolic setting and a welcoming feeling as soon as you enter the doorway."

    Emily and Sam have done a great job fitting out the rooms with large comfy beds and a well equipped huge kitchen which was the focal point of our stay here. Every room was clean and fresh and tastefully decorated. With a footpath virtually on the doorstep there is easy access to the local reservoirs and town. Great views from Cats Tor and Shining Tor. Buxton and Lyme (National Trust) are both a short drive away and not to be missed. Although next to a working farm, we hardly noticed any noise; waking up to the odd bleating sheep was actually quite nice and the goats outside the kitchen window provided great entertainment! Would we go back - definitely.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the farmhouse setting. It’s lovely to know the nearby walks and farm animals added to your experience too. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime! Property Owner

    Ideally located to explore the Peak District for hiking and sightseeing. Walks from the cottage as well as further afield.Quiet location even though it’s on a working farm and near to the road. We will definitely return to stay here again.

  • "Beautiful property."

    Obviously very recently refurbished to a high standard, the house was clean and comfortable and very well equipped. Two minor negatives, no shade in outside seating area and a light (practically street light!) on outside the bedroom windows. This meant closing the curtains to keep the light out and waking in the dark rather than the beautiful early morning light. Great location for beautiful walks in the Goyt valley and around the reservoirs. close to beautiful Buxton

    We are glad you found the farmhouse clean and comfortable. We apologise for the lack of shade, you were incredibly lucky to have such great weather. The Goyt Valley is a wonderful place to explore, we are pleased you got to experience it. Property Owner

    The views are stunning, with the added bonus of cows, goats, horses and sheep. My little boy certainly enjoyed looking at all the animals. A peaceful place to relax. The cottage itself has everything you needed, three very generous sized rooms and we loved the open planned kitchen diner, lots of space for a toddler to potter around. Will definitely be back again. Thank you so much.

    Immaculate with all modern devices, hotel quality beds. Away from the main road, in a picturesque setting, but near to Whaley Bridge for provisions and some restaurant quality take away (you don’t always want to cook on holiday!) Great for walks and exploring the Peak District National Park and also Buxton on the doorstep with its beautiful architecture and parks, you won’t be bored, lots to see and do. I will definitely be booking here again!!

  • "Had a great stay at Folds Lane!"

    It’s well equipped, warm and cosy. Well located for exploring the Peak District, there's a nice walk from the farm to the nearby reservoir. We thoroughly explored Buxton and the surrounding area: the Millenium Walkway at New Mills, Luds' Church and Thor's Cave were highlights. We also took the train from Whaley Bridge to Manchester on a rainy day. We liked seeing goats from the kitchen window (mysteriously on alternate days – we think they probably have a day in another field). Thanks for a lovely holiday!

    The owners have done a great job on this house. It’s warm and comfortable and there is nothing you need. They have thought of everything that you need throughout the house. Comfortable bed and a lovely view when you wake up in the morning. Lovely touches throughout the house and fresh flowers in the kitchen and landing upstairs. Very short drive into Buxton and Whaley Bridge. Half hour drive into Bakewell. Lovely walks nearby. Just a perfect break away. We were sad to leave. Will definitely go back.
