  • "A really lovely property, a perfect stay"

    Reviewed by Carole5.0Aug 2024

  • "A lovely cosy cottage with great views."

    The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a week stay. Plenty of off road parking and 3 visitors to greet us a wonderful family of peacocks (mum, dad and bubba). The location was perfect for the walks and places we visited. Perfect accommodation for a family of 3.

  • "Lapwing cottage was excellent we had everything we needed,the views were stunning from the cottage."

    The only problem we had was getting on to the main road from the farm lane it is impossible to see if any vehicle is coming up the hill when you pull out on to the main road.The local council transport department should be approached to put a mirror on the main road so vehicles on the farm road can see if any vehicle are coming up the hill.

    With walks straight from the door and two pubs and a shop also within walking distance (about a mile) it was well placed for exploring this quieter part of the Peak District. Bakewell and Buxton are within a 20 minute drive. We hope to visit again soon.

  • "I arrived for a two night stay and I was really impressed with 1."

    The cottage - Beautifully designed. I like that the lounge was separate from the kitchen/ diner. Both the downstairs rooms were bigger than I expected. Bedrooms- the mattress felt like it was new and of really good quality. If you like beams you’ll love this cottage, very tastefully done. Also the fact that the bathroom was connected directly to each bedroom was a good idea for two couples. 2. The views were great, it’s less than a 20 minute walk to Longnor so a gentle first walk to explore the area. It’s a small town so I wasn’t long but with the 4pm entry to the cottage it was preferable to a longer walk by the time I’d unpacked. I’d brought more bags than for a holiday abroad...what with throws/pillows in Covid times! I don’t think it’s mandatory, but I chose to. 3. The fact that it’s a remote location but set with the other cottages was good if you don’t want a place which is completely on it’s own. There were lots of places I looked at before choosing this cottage. Many looked like they smelt of wet dog but this place looked and was a home from home. Had there have been more nights available I’d have stayed longer. As a last minute booking though, I struck lucky and I’d definitely stay again (but for longer next time). The only thing I’d have liked to know was to bring kitchen roll and kitchen surface spray. I didn’t see any there. The majority of items were already there i.e. washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets even hand washing dispenser (I brought these with me and didn’t need to). So with bringing so many items it’s good to streamline. Very minor in the scheme of things. Overall very impressed and I highly recommend (just leave me room for my booking) :)

    Unfortunately the heating didn’t work, and we were very cold, the owners did move us from there skylark cottage to the lapwing cottage. This was warmer but still not in every room, I felt the owners have an excuse for everything and when complain about the heating there first comment was always ‘well it’s all on the same heating system and our house is warm’. There is obviously a fault with the system as one side of the room would be hot but the other would be cold. There was also an air lock in the system somewhere as the air hammer kept making a knocking noise through the walls. Also the water was sometimes non existent or no hot water would come though the tap. The place was very clean, and well presented. The cottage offered beautiful views and was working 20 minutes of Buxton and 30 minutes Bakewell. It’s close to the village which has a fish and chip shop and local store for the little bits you missed when shopping.

    It is set a little out of Longnor and has wonderful views across the Dove valley. The cottage has been thoughtfully put together. It has everything you could want in a modern but comfortable way. It was lovely to come back in after a cold wet day out to be able to sit in the comfortable, warm sitting room. The bedrooms were fine - a comfy bed, plenty of covers and good shower room. We cooked a number of meals and missed for nothing. Everything on arrival was in place and the cottage smelt fresh and was spotlessly clean. The outside area was attractive and if the weather had been kinder it would have been lovely to sit outside with a book, a glass of something and soak up the peace and quiet and the view. But ... !A great location with plentiful walks, places of interest and local pubs serving tasty home cooked food. Would we go again ... absolutely.
