  • "Great location and lovely space for a get together with family or friends and so quiet in the night so great sleep."

    Just some minor maintenance needs to be carried out. Oven didn’t work properly, took 3 hours to warm through a meal… Toaster only cooks one side of the bread. Plates chipped so need to be replaced Curtains in at least 2 of the rooms need to be rehung. Oven gloves missing Place mats we’re not cleaned after previous use.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and for choosing Rock House for your stay. We are glad to hear the property worked well for your family get-together and that you enjoyed the peaceful location. We also appreciate you flagging the maintenance issues. Your comments have been shared with our cleaning and maintenance team and we have already arranged for the oven, toaster and curtain rails to be checked and repaired, and for the chipped plates to be replaced. Fresh oven gloves and clean placemats have also been added back into the property. Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us keep the property in good order for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again. Joshua Property Owner

  • "House is in a great location and size was perfect for our group."

    We are realistic in that we know most large properties we've rented generally have a fair amount of wear and tear due to the nature of larger parties using them. However this place was very dirty when we arrived, floors weren't clean, open food left in drawers in bedrooms, rubbish under beds, kitchen had stuff left in the dishwasher (smell suggested it has been there a while) and dirty roasting trays in the cupboard. There seems to be a persistence in all the coms around there being lots of parking - this is odd as there is certainly places to park but not always close, wasn't a problem for our group but with the size of the house I guess most people will have a few vehicles so expect to park a short walk away. Generally we did manage to get one or two cars on the street right outside so no drama as we swapped vehicles for loading etc. Overall this isn't a cheap place to so we are left a bit disappointed which is a shame as the house is a great size and in a perfect location.

  • "Central location walking distance to the town and short distance drive to the viewpoint mountains."

    2 fridges is a plus as we were a big group with children. Plenty of WC facilities. Bed is comfortable, pillows are feather downs. Street parking is available but a bit tricky but always available on our stay. Very clear instructions provided on the email. Troubleshooting folder with WiFi information is very handy.

    Thank you for your kind review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the location, facilities, and comfort of the house. Glad the extra fridge and information folder were helpful for your group. You’re welcome back anytime! Joshua Property Owner

  • "Hello, there were a few things which were not major enough (eg."

    flooding, etc.) to contact the 'emergency' listed number. One piece of advice would be to NOT contact Sykes, as they will ignore your communication or not follow up any information asked for.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear you had difficulty with communication and we’ll be reviewing this to ensure it’s improved for future guests. Your comments are very helpful, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know! Property Owner

  • "The property was fantastic, and the host was great at communicating."

    The property is bigger than it appears in the listing, with a 7th bedroom and a children’s play area in the basement. Great location too. 10/10

    Thank you so much, Cameron! We’re delighted you and your group enjoyed Rock House and found the extra space and play area useful. It’s great to hear our communication helped make things easy for you, and we really appreciate your kind words about the location too. You’d be very welcome back anytime! Property Owner

  • "Parking was not as easy or abundant as described."

    This was partially due to us having 2 9-seater Ford Tourneo vans. But even still, it was far from abundant. Our VRBO experience was positive.. We appreciated the information binder at the house. The only thing that wasn’t clear was what the expectations were for our departure. We left the home basically how we found it but weren’t sure if we should have removed all trash or placed linens in a specific location, etc. These are details we are used to when using VRBO or other vacation rental agencies in the USA.

    Hi Marci, Thank you for your feedback — we really appreciate it. Sorry to hear parking was tricky with the vans, and that contacting Sykes proved difficult. We’ll review our listing details and pass on your comments to Sykes. Glad to hear you enjoyed the stay overall and found the binder useful. We'll add clearer departure instructions to help future guests. Thanks again for staying with us. Joshua Property Owner

  • "The property wasn't particularly clean."

    The bed on the 3rd floor was broken. There was no soap in the toilets. The TV wouldn't work. There was rubbish left out by the bins on the floor. We were disappointed with the amount we paid with issues mentioned. The positive was it was big enough for the family and central location.

    Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay. This isn’t the standard we aim to provide, and I completely understand your disappointment given the amount you paid. The bed on the third floor has now been repaired, and we've resolved the issue with the TV. Our housekeeping team has been reminded to ensure that all bathrooms are fully stocked with essentials like soap before every stay. We’ve also addressed the rubbish left near the bins and reinforced proper procedures with our cleaning staff. I’m pleased to hear you found the space big enough for your family and appreciated the central location, but it's clear we fell short in other areas. If you're open to it, I’d really like the opportunity to make it up to you — please don’t hesitate to reach out directly. Property Owner

  • "We noticed in the Visitors book earlier visitors complained about cleanliness of property on arrival but we found everything OK, obviously acted on complaint."

    Couple of light bulbs were out (one in the Master Bedroom on 1st floor - bedside table lamp) and kitchen sink missing sink plug. Would also invest in bigger towels for bathrooms but other than that OK High traffic areas (hallways & staircases) need a bit of TLC but kitchen well equipped.

    Hi Stuart, I am sorry to hear about you reading old reviews. I took the property on in July so I hope this was before my time. In regards to the light bulbs and sink plug, thank you for notifying us, we have now got these issues sorted. I hope we can have you and your family as guests again. :) Property Owner

BUXTON

Tideswell 7 miles; Bakewell 12 miles; Matlock 21 miles.

It was the constant 28 degrees centigrade of the bubbling blue waters of Buxton's eight thermal springs that originally attracted the Romans to the town. However it was during the 18th and 19th centuries, under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire, that the Palladian splendour of the Buxton of today was designed and built - including the magnificent semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens and The Opera House. Today visitors continue to enjoy these magnificent buildings and gardens, as well as the Opera House's full programme and annual festivals of music and arts. There is good walking close by with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south and a number of pretty towns and villages are dotted throughout including Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Edale. The stunning properties of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy driving distance and must be seen while visiting this area. A great base for exploring the Peak District.
