"We had a fabulous stay at Glenhurst, the views from the house are stunning and the horses at the end of the garden were a highlight for the children."
The house was perfect for a cross generational family holiday with lots of toys and plenty of space for everyone. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The only negative is there are only 8 chairs for the dining table, so if you are 10 people you need to bring two chairs with you.

"We had a fantastic stay at glenhurst, a whole family get together for my 30th birthday."
The house was everything we needed, spacious & open plan. The views are spectacular and watching the sun set each evening, with the horses at the bottom of the garden was such a warming moment. The kids loved all the games and toys, this was a special touch. Location was great and we explored the area by foot and took a drive into Bakewell. The only things I would note, it would be great to have 2 pillows each on the beds, 1 is not enough and the beds could be comfier. The downstairs pull out bed really was quite firm, and one of the doubles upstairs, creaked every time you moved. Overall great stay and would highly recommend to anybody.
Thank you for your review. We will take you feedback into account and will make sure to get the beds comfier! Thank you again for taking the time to rate Glenhurst. We hope you will visit us again in the future. Property Owner

"A beautiful house with a beautiful view, in a lovely area on the edge of the peak district national park."
Despite the shocking weather (storm Darragh) during our annual get togther, we had a great time, in a comprehensively furnished and equipt house. My grandsons (3,3 and 5) thoroughly enjoyed playing with the huge selction of toys and games available. The owners were very attentive via email, and replied to any questions promptly. We would not hesitate in recommending Glenhurst.
Thank you very much for your review. I'm sorry you had bad weather during you stay, but I'm glad you found the house nice to stay in and very pleased to hear that the toys kept the kids entertained!!! We hope you'll stay with us again for a future family reunion. Property Owner

The views are stunning and the space was great. The owners were really helpful in the run up to our stay with a very useful welcome pack so we had all your instructions wet needed.

"We had the most wonderful stay at Glenhurst."
The location and setting of the house was perfect, the photos don’t do justice the beautiful view from the property. The living space is spacious and bright and perfect to house a family get together. All of the communication from the lovely owners was great, they got back to us super fast and were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend and would love to visit again!
Thank you for your glowing feedback. We have really enjoyed hosting you and your family for the long weekend. You were all very kind and understanding guests. We hope this was a holiday full of great memories and also hope you will think of Glenhurst and Holmesfield again on your next visit to Derbyshire. Thank you again. Property Owner

"Very nice house in a very picturesque part of the country with a spectacular view of the countryside from the house."
The house was homely, tidy, functional and the kitchen was well equipped. The surrounding area had plenty of walks a short walk from the house where you could have a short stroll or a long hike. The owners were engaging and even sent a surprise gift when they found out about the birthdays we were celebrating. Would definitely strongly consider staying again.
Hi and thank you for your kind review. We were so happy to hear that you and your group decided to celebrate a few birthday milestones at Glenhurst, and hope it was made memorable. We would love to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

"Glenhurst is a very well appointed house in a convenient location for the Peak District and Sheffield."
It has lovely views over the valley to the rear of the house. Three couples and two children shared the house and we were very comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed and well supplied with cooking utensils and tableware. We visited at the end of October so the weather was not conducive to sitting out on the verandah but we reflected that it must have been lovely to sit out on long fine evenings.
Thank you for your review. We are so happy you and your group were able to enjoy a week together at Glenhurst. We hope the children enjoyed playing with the toys, and would love to host you again if you ever visit the Peak District in the future. Property Owner

"A lovely house with plenty of space."
The bedrooms were roomy and the 3 showers were quite powerful. The view from the back of the house was exceptional unfortunately due to the time of year and the weather we could not enjoy the balcony. The house information we were given included everything we needed to know about the house , the appliances and the local area.
Thank you for choosing Glenhurst. The views from the balcony are very dramatic on a rainy day, but a sunnier & drier day does offer more walks and BBQs outside. We hope you will visit us again at a different part of the year to experience another side of Holmesfield and the Peak District. Thank you again for your review! Property Owner

It was very clean and the layout and facilities were perfect for our group of 10 people. We had 3 children and a baby with us and they were all catered for. We had a wonderful weekend and would love to return. The owners were really helpful, providinf useful info and happy to answer my questions.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We look forward to welcoming you and your group in Glenhurst again! Property Owner

"A fabulous very well appointed home and a detailed, well thought out and complete Welcome Book to help us get the best out of our property and our sadly too short break."
I needed to make the owner's aware of some standard maintenance issues we discovered but these did not detract in any way from our break.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Also thank you for letting us know about the maintenance. We have taken time over the summer to revamp the house and all your concerns have been set right. We hope you will visit us again soon!! Property Owner

"Absolutely outstanding property overlooking luscious green fields."
Everything you need is provided at the house. The owner was amazing responding to our emails straight away. Local footpaths near by. 10 minute walk to the local pub that serve amazing food. Highly recommend Tickled Trout 10 mins in car for Sunday lunch.I will definitely return.
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We really value your comment and very happy to know that you enjoyed staying at our property. We'd love to welcome you back soon! Property Owner

"I decided to rent this house for my 30th birthday weekend based on pictures and reviews - and the property did not disappoint!"
! The views are stunning, Adam and Chiaki (the owners) could not do enough for us - they were super communicative and they made me feel very looked after! The house is perfect for a getaway with friends and family - the shared living space is perfect to spend time with loved ones and the kitchen is super functional and has all the amenities and more! I’m already thinking about when to come next!!!
We are so pleased our house helped to make your birthday weekend a happy and memorable one! There's a lot more Holmesfield and the Peak District has to offer, so we are looking forward to hosting you and your group again soon. Thank you again for your wonderful feedback. Property Owner

"The downstairs area flowed really well and was even better than the original photographs plus the added bonus of the views across the valley made for a relaxing stay."
The children were very impressed with the range of toys which kept them occupied during the rain showers and inclement weather.
Thank you very much for choosing Glenhurst in Holmesfield. We are so glad your children enjoyed the toys! We are so pleased to hear you had a nice time and hope you'll stay with us again in the future. Property Owner

"We had a great stay at Glenhurst (5 adults and 2 children)."
We chose it for the ample private parking, the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge and the private bathroom/ensuites for each double bedroom. It did not disappoint. The kitchen had everything we needed and the countryside views from the dining table were breathtaking. The huge selection of toys was a lovely touch and kept the children entertained for hours. The house was well located for day trips out in the Peak District and the local pub served delicious meals. The owners were very attentive and emailed lots of useful information prior to our stay. Thanks again.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are so happy we were able to provide a nice home for you to stay in during your holiday. There's so much Holmesfield has to offer; hope you'll be back with us again soon. Property Owner

"All we can say is WOW what a beautiful home in the perfect location, the property was spotless and had everything we needed to create the perfect home from home experience ."
A shout out to the neighbours who came to our rescue due to the heavy snow fall but, this only made the property even more outstanding. The owners kept us updated prior to our stay, to help us with entering the property and also how to use everything, they were even kind enough to post out to us an item we left behind. Highly recommend and hopefully will have the pleasure to stay her again in the future. Thank you for the perfect weekend Glenhurst
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. It was an absolute pleasure hosting your group during a "winter wonderland" weekend. We would love to have you back again when you visit the Peak District next. Property Owner

"What an amazing holiday we had glenhurst!"
The views from the back of the house are breath taking, absolutely beautiful. Situated in a perfect location only 10 minutes from large super markets and restaurants. The house itself is very secure with a gated driveway! Modern design throughout, very family friendly, had everything needed to cook, clean and relax! Very cosy in the winter months due to log burner. This property will always be special to us now as we got engaged here, already looking at booking again! Owners couldn’t be more helpful, checked in to make sure everything was okay / if we needed anything(via email). Easy step by step guide book on how to use everything in the house and recommendations for local restaurants and sites to see. We recommend the tickled trout for Sunday roast a 10/10. Would recommend this holiday home to anyone! Thank you Adam and Chiaki
Thank you very much for your comment. We are delighted to hear Glenhurst was able to help in making your holiday and proposal a very special one. We can't wait to welcome you and your family back to the house again. Property Owner

"I can't help but gush about this hidden gem!"
If I could give it more stars, I'd have to consult the night sky itself, because this place is out-of-this-world amazing. The views? Oh, they're so breathtaking, even the birds have started taking notes for their own bucket lists! Picture this: I'm sipping a cup of tea, gazing out at the majestic scenery, and suddenly, I'm pretty sure I just became a poet. It was the best weekend ever – so much so that I might need to start a support group for my other weekends, which are now feeling totally inferior. Now, let's talk about Adam and Chiaki, the dynamic duo of hospitality. These two are like the superhero owners you never knew you needed. They're so accommodating that I'm pretty sure they could turn a potato into a five-star meal if you asked nicely. In a nutshell, my stay here was so delightful that even the sunshine was jealous. If you don't visit, you're missing out on a seriously charming experience.
Thank you very much for your wonderful and descriptive feedback. We are so happy we were able to make your weekend special. You and your group were fantastic guests and it was a pleasure hosting you. Holmesfield has so much to offer; we hope you will be back with us again soon. Property Owner

"A lovely house in a fantastic location with one of the best views you could wish for."
The property is comfortable, well furnished and the kitchen is well stocked with utensils for cooking. We were a party of 8 adults and had loads of space to socialise and relax. Perfectly located to enjoy the Peak District.
Thank you for choosing Glenhurst and we appreciate your valuable feedback. We are delighted to know you had a nice time. We hope to exceed expectations if you ever choose to visit Holmesfield again! Property Owner

"We had a wonderful time at Glenhurst, thank you so much for having us!"
In particular we enjoyed the beautiful views, how easy it is to pop under the garden fence and go for a walk and how close we were to a local pub which was a crowd please for all of the family. There were lots of little touches which made staying with a family really easy like the high chair, cot, colouring and toddler cutlery which was a real benefit not having to put everything in the car. A wonderful property and very responsive hosts to any questions we had. We’d love to come back.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are so happy that the children's things were useful for your family. We would love for you to book our house again to further explore Holmesfield! Property Owner

HOLMESFIELD
Chatsworth House 6 miles; Bakewell 10 miles.
Holmesfield is a small village situated on a high peak between Bakewell and Sheffield, on the very edge of the Peak District National Park, and with commanding views of the Cordwell Valley. Surrounded by undulating countryside and deep valleys, the village is made up of a group of traditional old houses, interesting manors, a village hall and the parish church of St Swithins, built in 1826. There are many local amenities; the area boasts eight pubs and a number of fine restaurants, and is ideally located for exploring this interesting and beautiful area. Nearby, the impressive Damflask, Agden, Dale Dike and Ladybower dams make for an interesting afternoon's ramble, while the attractive village of Hathersage is also within easy reach, thought to be the inspiration for Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and home to a selection of shops, pubs and inviting eateries, and a lovely outdoor lido. There are many stately homes to visit including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall to mention just a few, whilst the historic and ever popular town of Bakewell along with the lively city of Sheffield are both within a short drive.
