• "Lovely spacious property in a lovely location."

  Everyone in our family loved their stay. The decor was beautiful. I was on crutches for the duration of my stay and I needed to come out of the ground floor kitchen at the back and walk around the outside of the building and up out of the gate to the front. I just wanted to suggest putting some outside lighting to the side when walking up to the gate. There were then 3 x steps to access the front of the property where we used the bedroom and lounge on the first floor. Instructions for using the cooker would have been handy. Our younger family googled them and we managed to use it thereafter. Overall we would definitely recommend staying here.

  Hi, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It’s great to hear that everyone in your family enjoyed their stay and that you liked the property, location and décor. We really appreciate you recommending Blue Ron’s and I’m particularly pleased you were able to enjoy the property despite being on crutches. Thank you for mentioning the lighting to the side of the property — that’s a really useful suggestion, and something we’ll certainly look at improving to make access easier and safer, particularly after dark. We’ll also look at adding some clearer instructions for the cooker. I’m glad you managed to get everything figured out, but we can certainly make that easier for future guests. Thank you again for choosing Blue Ron’s and for taking the time to leave such positive and constructive feedback. It was a pleasure having you stay, and we’d be delighted to welcome you and your family back in the future. Best wishes, James and team Property Owner

• "A few things to consider/improve: There were a few issues with cleanliness and maintenance of the property."

  The water pressure was very poor and despite there being so many bathrooms, only one person could shower at a time as the water pressure reduced to a trickle or would cut out altogether. Some of the rooms had a bad smell to them, particularly one of the downstairs en-suite bathrooms which smelt like urine and sewage and a downstairs bedroom which smelt very stale. The property had been cleaned but there were spillages, stains and hairs throughout that had been missed. The furniture and decor was in need of some TLC - lots of damaged paintwork and the wardrobe in the master bedroom smelt a bit damp with it being an old, vintage wardrobe. Outside, the hot tub temperature couldn’t be adjusted and it never really got hot, it was tepid at best. There was a security camera pointing at the hot tub which made a couple of women in our party feel uncomfortable as they didn’t want to be on surveillance in their swimwear so opted not to go in. Good points: The property was in a good location, close to New Mills town centre and the house and outside area were all a good size. The bar area and outside area were great with lots of activities to enjoy. Decor and furnishings were very tasteful throughout the property. Ample parking and good communication from the owner with clear instructions on checking in and out.

  Hi Matthew, Thank you for your feedback. I'm pleased you enjoyed the location, property, bar and outside areas, activities and furnishings, and found my communication and check-in instructions clear. I am disappointed that several issues raised were not brought to my attention during your stay. I provide guests with my contact details and specifically ask them to contact me immediately if anything is wrong. Had I been made aware, I would have done my best to resolve these issues during your stay. The hot tub is checked and set to the appropriate temperature and can be adjusted. Had I known it wasn't heating correctly, I could have investigated this immediately. I am also aware of the water pressure issues and have been addressing them, particularly given the current water supply problems, but again I wasn't contacted. Regarding the security camera, its presence is disclosed before booking and it is solely for property security, monitoring the rear entrances. The hot tub is some distance away and the image quality is limited. This is clearly disclosed before arrival. I take the comments regarding cleanliness and maintenance seriously. This is a large property accommodating substantial numbers of guests, so maintaining it is an ongoing process. For context, the property has five bathrooms plus a WC, two fridges, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, games room with pool table and darts, bar, outdoor kitchen, hot tub, EV charging, extensive outdoor space. I was therefore surprised to see the facilities rated so poorly. I'm sorry that marks or hairs were missed following cleaning. I would have wanted to rectify this immediately had it been brought to my attention. I welcome constructive criticism and continually look at ways to improve Blue Ron's. What I find disappointing is that several issues raised could potentially have been resolved during your stay had I been given the opportunity. I hope you enjoyed your time in New Mills. Best wishes, James and team Property Owner

• "Fantastic property."

  Our family has an amazing time. James was the perfect host and met us on arrival and ran through everything. The games room is fab and we loved the set up outside. New Mills is great and the surrounding area beautiful. For a large family to get away you will love this place a little gem. Thanks so much for a great holiday.

• "This is a fabulous property!"

  Great spaces and full of character. All the rooms are large and nicely appointed. We had a group of 7 adults and 2 teens and had so much space! Plenty of walking options nearby and is close to the shops and amenities. We appreciate the plentiful offroad parking, because parking seems to be at a premium in the area. Great base for family get-togethers

• "We had a family great weekend for Nanny Cats belated 70th that we never got to celebrate in Covid!"

  There were 14 of us in total a range of ages and a furry friend too! The house is big enough for everyone to go off and have their own space but also to be able to sit together in the kitchen for meals. The hot tub and games room were an absolute hit with all ages and we loved having the upstairs living room as a bit of a breakout space! The area by the hot tub is lovely with a little decking and table and chairs. It was a typical British weekend when we went so we had all weathers in a day! The BBQ isn’t under a cover so an umbrella or little canopy would be a welcome addition to be able to use the BBQ in all weathers! The garden is gravel which is ideal for parking. There’s a small very sloped grass part which is ideal for the dogs! House is finished to a really high standard with lovely rooms and everything you could need in the kitchen, bar and outdoors. We didn’t explore much of the local area, but a quick walk up the hill and there’s lots of lovely little local places and some shops etc. It’s worth noting (but it is on the description) that you access the downstairs kitchen and bar from the garden/car park which is a small gravel slope path, we had to drive our Nan to the patio doors to get her up one step into the bar area. We would then drive to the front of the house and up a few steps to get her to the living room and bedroom on that floor. The stairs are quite steep from the basement level up so that wouldn’t be an option. It is do able, but wouldn’t be suitable if anyone was less mobile and not able to be carried. Obviously not a criticism as it’s the nature of that kind of house and is included on the pictures on description that it’s across the different floors. We had a lovely time and really appreciated the detailed info provided by James prior to checking in and the opportunity to have an additional 45minutes to check out which was needed getting all of our gang packed up out the door on the Sunday! We will definitely be back! Hopefully next Summer for Blue Ron’s weekend 2.0!

  Hi Jade, thank you ever so much for the detailed, lovely review. It really does make it all worthwhile when you read about people's positive experiences, it is exactly what I envisaged when I started out on the project. we would love to have you back, take care, James and the team Property Owner

• "As many have said, Blue Ron’s is a fantastic place, especially for a large group – we had four families, mix of kids and adults and the dog."

  Facilities are great, everyone was fully covered, with the games room, bar and hot tub area being the firm favourites! It’s a perfect location, in a great town so couldn’t recommend it enough…..just a shame we had to come home! Great comms from owners throughout so always felt, if any issues (there weren’t any) we would have been helped and sorted very easily.

• "Blue Ron's was perfect for a large family (12 of us stayed in total) and there was still room to spare."

  Was nice to have your own bathroom each so not having to share. Games room was perfect, and such a nice hang out area. Only comment for improvement would be beds weren't the most comfortable, and also the water pressure for showers kept dropping out. However, all the great facilities more than made up for this, huge living room, hot tub, bar and games room and good sized kitchen made it a great choice for us and we would definately visit again.

  Thank you so much for your feedback and really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Was there and particular bed or beds that you thought was uncomfortable? If you could let me know, that would be appreciated. Property Owner

• "The Good: Great Social Spaces: The ground-floor bar area and pool table were fantastic and became the hub of our evenings."

  General Comfort: The house initially looks good and is generally very comfortable and warm. Fantastic Location: New Mills is an interesting little town with many good bars, shops, and places to get food. Areas for Improvement: Privacy: The living room is right on the pavement. Passersby frequently stare in, which future guests should be aware of. Lack of Information: There was no welcome book or instruction manual. We didn't know when to put the bins out, and operating the hot tub was a guessing game. Low Water Pressure: The water pressure throughout the house is very poor, resulting in weak, fluctuating showers. Fixtures: Most of the toilet seats were poorly fitted and wonky. ⚠️ Urgent Maintenance Issue: The external sewage pipe at the rear of the property appears to be broken or poorly fitted. When the top-floor toilets are flushed, waste water sprays out onto the rubbish bins. This is a significant hygiene hazard that needs immediate attention.

  Areas for improvement: The property does look out onto the pavement, as can be seen from the images before booked. It is an old sweetshop and has been restored as such. There are also curtains fitted throughout the living room. There is a welcome booklet in the lounge, I'm sorry you missed it. We will make sure it is in clearer view. The Hot Tub is a GT6 Getaway, specifically for Holiday Homes. There are two buttons. one for jets and one for lights. On top of the manual I send user instructions before check in. I don't however explain The light button is to turn lights on nor press the jet button to turn the jets on. I texted asking for the bins to be put out on the day and also offered to come and do it if you werent able to. you responded to say you would put it out and didn't. The seats are removable for cleaning and can move, it's the design. I will make sure the cleaners tighten them up in between stays. There isnt anything that can be done about water pressure. The property is situated at the bottom of a hill and is actually quite good, however, there are 3 shower rooms, 2 bathrooms, a WC and a kitchen for your convenience and when multiple fixtures are running at the same time, it may effect it. Regarding waste water, the run off for the roof gutters is behind the bins? I will investigate this matter immediately. I would recommend future guests bring urgent matters to the attention of owners during their stay. I was in contact with this guest throughout the stay and I didnt hear one complaint. The cleaners have not brought any sewage matters to my attention following the changeover. Property Owner

• "Had a great weekend with friends at the end of January staying at Blue Ron’s."

  Great space, games rooms was one of the main reason this accommodation was booked and this was a great space and the evenings were spent down here, enjoying a game of pool and darts. Just be mindful of the steep steps from the kitchen to the upstairs, Didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space but maybe next time. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Some of the rooms the mattress might benefit from a topper. Main bedroom with king size mattress was great, Kitchen was really well equipped and it was great that it had a large fridge that can accommodate for the amount of people that can stay at the house. Was also good that the bar area in the games room had drink fridges. A lot of thought has gone into this accommodation and I would recommend it for large family or friends get togethers The area of New Mills is also very picturesque and we enjoyed a visit to Torrs Millennium walk. Great stay and will definitely try to come back.

• "The property was perfect for the size of the group (10 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs)."

  The bar games room was a huge hit especially as we attended for New Year. Plus with it being off the kitchen it’s easy to prepare food without feeling out of it. I can imagine in summer sitting outside listening to the river and enjoying the sunset is amazing (we did get a spectacular sunset one day). Not to forget the village this house is perfectly placed to walk to everywhere no driving required the villagers landlords/ladies and restaurateurs are so friendly and welcoming. Finally the walks what can I say a walkers paradise you can go for miles on the doorsteps of the property but even if your not into that a must is the millennium walkway and Torr Mill.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. It genuinely means a lot that our guests come and have a lovely time at Ron's and in the local community. We hope to see you again in future! Property Owner

• "I booked Blue Ron's for my 70th birthday celebration weekend for all the family (8 adults and 3 children)."

  What an amazing house. The facilities are excellent, plenty of room for everyone. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The games room and bar area were fabulous. The kids had not really played pool or darts before and loved it, so most of the time was spent there. The kitchen had everything you needed. The hot tub was ready for us to use. We have not stayed in an Airbnb before or all of us staying in the same house together, but it worked very well and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. The only thing that spoiled it was that it rained all day on the Saturday so we didn't go out for very long. We ended up having pool and darts competitions which was great fun. We had a meal at Pride of the Peak which was excellent. A card, flowers and 70th balloon were waiting for me when we arrived, which was a nice touch and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Blue Ron's. We could not fault anything about the house and the owner should be proud of the facilities he provides.

  Thanks so much Elaine for the lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your birthday weekend here and it was lovely to meet you. Take care and we will hopefully see you again soon! Property Owner
