"We loved our stay here."
Quiet, and beautiful views. It was perfect for what we wanted. We were four adults and two young children. The kids loved the garden and the view of the alpacas. Location was great for walking, running and mountain biking. We could wander into the village for the pub, or sit on the terrace in the evening. Clean and tidy - as per listing - would recommend!

"The bungalow is perfectly positioned in open countryside yet within quite easy walking distance of excellent pubs and cafes all serving very good food in a most cheery environment."
Many walks on your doorstep with more amazing adventures a short drive away in the beautiful Peak District National Park to be enjoyed by both two legged and four legged walkers.
We highly recommend this lovely place with it’s great views whatever the weather as the central heating and if needed log fire keep you warm and toasty.

"The Bungalow is a lovely place to stay."
The host provided some lovely homely touches for our stay and our ganddaughter thoroughly enjoyed watching the alpacas. Top ten tip, probably don't follow the advice of your sat nav when you reach Barlow, follow the directions provided.

"The beds for us were too soft and neither of us slept well during our stay."
For a dog friendly property there were not enough soft areas for them to settle. Laying on the wooden floors is not always comfortable and it would be nice to have a large rug in the lounge area.
Other than that the bungalow was a great find and we enjoyed the facilities and the local area.

"Loved the bungalow, clean, quiet and warm, perfect for a relaxing autumn break."
The setting was fabulous; the view across the valley, watching the alpacas, the garden with a view, right next to the footpath (not enough people using it to be intrusive) lending a good way to get to the village without using the car. The only downside for us was the steepness of the driveway and having to chock the car (chocks provided by the owner) each time we got back, but that might just be an issue for us, we don't have that problem in Norfolk! :)

"We really enjoyed staying at the bungalow."
The views are the X factor. But the other benefits are the walks around the area and the wildlife around the property. Not least the barn owls.
Many thanks to Dave for the car charger available. Hopefully many more listings will provide this facility, especially in remote places.
We very much recommend a stay at the bungalow for the Peak District area.

"Lovely bungalow."
Our second time there. Great for walks in the Peak district. Love Longshaw Estate in particular. Had a lovely meal at The Peacock Pub on Owler Bar roundabout (not the one in barlow). You can take your dog to this pub but be aware they don’t accept cash which is a shame.
The views from any window are beautiful, could sit and look at them all day.
Fabulous property. Thank you.

"We had a great time at the bungalow."
It is in a really beautiful quiet valley with fantastic views and lovely walks. The bungalow itself is very comfortable and well equipped; a real home from home. The owners could not have been more helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. We were snowed in for part of the stay and Will even managed to get through in his 4x4 to bring us some shopping!

"A superbly equipped bungalow with great views from every window."
The alpacas were entertaining and our dog loved the local walks and quiet country lanes. A warm welcome from the owner and delightful little touches. I would highly recommend this bungalow to anyone seeking a quiet holiday within reach of the famous Peak District walks. The description of the back garden could be more accurate - it is private and large but dogs need to be supervised as it is not fully enclosed as the original information suggested.
A wonderful holiday we will always remember.

"Outstanding views from the Bungalow, very warm and comfortable property with lots of walks around for walking the dog."
The driveway is very steep and as we have a very long car it wasn't possible to turn at the top so we decided it was best to park at the bottom. It wasn't a problem to us that the garden wasn't completely fenced for security of a dog because if you have a well behaved dog as you are meant to it isn't an issue. All in all a very enjoyable place to stay.

"A quiet, warm, comfortable and well-appointed cottage in an excellent location."
The view is wonderful especially with mist in the valley and watching the alpacas is very entertaining. Yes, the garden is not secure but in my opinion it is still very dog friendly. There are walks from the door and 2 excellent restaurants within walking distance as well as a wonderful cafe. What is not to like, a really great week.

"Booked property on basis garden dog friendly and enclosed for my large dog."
Property situated on a lane used by horse riders, cyclists dog walkers etc. Not enclosed as stated and not safe for my dog.
Spoke to owner days before we left and was informed the back.of the property was fully enclosed. Not the case at all . I have taken video and will send it with my complaint.
Ruined our holiday left day early.
Please note another customer has previously written similar comment so why is this property still being advertised this way? Very misleading in my opinion.

"The bungalow was very clean and well equipped with beautiful views."
We had a great holiday but it would have been useful to know that the drive is very steep. You really need to park at the bottom. The shower had a step which also made it difficult for a less mobile person. There were 2 key safes. Instructions as to which one to use were inside. There were no instructions for any appliances, including bathroom heating and towel rail, apart from the log burner.

Quite clearly the owner is a dog lover providing a bed and doggy treats so our little pooch felt welcome as well.The property is well equipped although could have done with a few more kitchen utensils e.g a wooden spatula!! The wood burning stove was brilliant and really effective.Really nice on a chilly winter's evening.The only negative was the double mattress is quite soft and didn't suit my geriatric back!!

"Our stay in the Bungalow during Christmas was outstanding."
The actual house is much better than the picture portray (kitchen has more work surfaces. Facilities were great and the book for details of the water system really helped. The dog loved his stay and barking at the alpacas across the road. However, on the public footpath next to the bungalow there is an electric fence close to the footpath with no signage so other dog owners need to be aware.

"Our second visit here and we had another wonderful stay."
He Bungalow is in a fantastic location with some great walks nearby. Lots of great pubs and food on hand too. The house itself is warm and cosy with excellent facilities and a fully equipped kitchen. The heating is excellent and on a manual thermostat so you can get it just right and the TV has a good selection of channels plus Netflix. The Wi-Fi is very good. Outside there is a beautiful garden and a patio which looks out over the hills and an Alpaca farm.
It is hard to suggest improvements but a dimmer light in the lounge would be good as the existing lights are too bright when watching TV.
Will definitely be back!
