"An absolutely beautiful cottage in a picture postcard village."
The cottage had everything we needed - the welcome pack was a really nice touch and was much appreciated. Would not hesitate to recommend both Bobbin Cottage and Sykes Cottages. Had a lovely few days away. Thank you.

"Such a cosy gorgeously decorated cottage."
Sad to leave. Beautiful area for walking. Ashford in the Water is a quiet, quintessential English village, with 2 good pubs. Bobbin Cottage, was a perfect place to stay to be in the heart of the Peak District.

"The cottage was beautiful and catered for all our needs and more."
The location was beautiful and recommend the Ashford Arms for stunning food. There were 3 adults and we all had an amazing time. The small garden at the back was ideal for our small dog and the summer house just added another angle. Would certainly go back to Bobbin Cottage.

"Bobbin Cottage is a beautifully renovated old building."
There is everything there you need for a break in the Peak District for up to 3 people. I personally found the stairs hard work (arthritis) and missed being able to park right outside. Younger, fitter people would have no problems there.
Many thanks for your feedback Philip. We're always keen to improve things based on our guests' feedback. Unfortunately the stairs isn't something we can do much about but I hope they didn't cause too much pain. Fennel Street usually has somewhere to park that is within 10 - 50 yards of the front door and has a car park just around the back by the park if all else fails and that's only 50 yards around the corner too. I hope you didn't have to park too far away. Best wishes. Tim

"Bobbin cottage was a very cosy, comfortable and immaculately maintained home."
All the facilities required, towels, tea, coffee, biscuits too. The shower was lovely and the heating in the cottage very efficient. The accommodation is ideally situated for exploring Bakewell and the surrounding trails. Lovely pubs nearby too. The Anchor up at Tideswell was particularly nice and the local Bulls Head serves good food in a very friendly environment.
The cottage is pet friendly and we managed to obey the rules but I would say I'm not sure how it is completely possible to stop a dog going up the stairs! Doors to bedrooms can be kept shut but anyone with an over active dog could spend much time trying to stop their four legged friend from venturing into forbidden territory. Of course responsible dog owners should clean the dog up before entering the premises and perhaps a big throw for a seat would mean a comfy chair could be had too without the dog ruining the furniture. We are house proud and understand the issues but if accommodation is dog friendly the rules could be less restrictive and rely on the resident to use their common sense (perhaps therein lies the problem!!).
Great stay and would return.

"We had the most relaxing week at Bobbin Cottage, set in the beautiful village of Ashby-in the-water, it was so quiet and peaceful and the garden was a real little suntrap with the added extra of the summer house when it got to hot to sit in the sun."
We had everything we needed in the cottage and it was a perfect base for exploring the beautiful Peak District - the furthest we travelled was 30 minutes away to Ilam and Dovedale. We would definitely like to return to this cottage.

"We had a lovely time staying at Bobbin Cottage."
The location was amazing with walks to Bakewell and the Monsal Trail at your doorstep and very central for anywhere else you wish to go. The cottage was lovely, very clean and check in/out was very smooth. The only query we had was the recycling rubbish had been left in the back garden, with bin day the previous day of our arrival, but this was collected promptly by the property manager, resolving the issue very easily. The facilities within the cottage were very good, even providing oil/salt & pepper, wood & fire lighters etc, perfect for self-catering! The only thing we didn't have was hand towels/tea towels which would have been useful. We had a lovely time here, and would definitely recommend.

"Tim made contact by text in a timely manner to check we had arrived ok and everything in order and to our satisfaction."
The direct contact with us was much appreciated and makes the stay more personable
Thoughtfully decorated idyllic property in a fantastic location
Very quiet and respectful area in which to live and stay
Well equipped spotless cottage
Additions that would be helpful for guests would be a washing up sponge or J cloth that can be disposed of at end of stay
My wife brought her own hairdryer. Could not see one in the cottage which could be a useful addition.
Thank you for a perfect few days away
So glad you and your wife enjoyed your stay Richard and many thanks for some great tips on how we can improve the service.

"Once we had the back door key and worked out how to use the TV, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage for comfort and location."
Plenty of walks from the front door and a pub for evening meals just round the corner. Plus easy and frequent buses to Bakewell and Buxton. Next time I will remember to take a bottle for some free Buxton water.
What more could we want in the Peak DIstrict.
Thank you Tim, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bobbin Cottage.

Thanks very much for your comments Lesley and I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thanks to your feedback I have now updated the TV instructions in the house manual and also the online version (https://v2.hostfully.com/gsggbtt/house_manual/hmknlojk) so this should make it easier for future guests.
