"We were greeted by Patricia on our arrival, although we had arrived an hour early we were allowed to enter the cottage and get settled in."
We were very impressed with the standard of the interior and the facilities. We had a very relaxing time and we will definitely go back again when we can.
Andrew seemed to be very busy around the property but was always very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this site to everyone.

Everything we needed was provided, with extras like milk and biscuits. The Shavings is compact but very comfortable and warm. The owners are friendly and welcoming and the property was very clean. There is plenty do see and do in the surrounding area.

"This property was exactly what we needed."
It is comfortable, fresh and clean. It had everything required to cook a few meals and is an excellent location for exploring and eating out. The walking in the Peak District is fantastic! The hosts are welcoming, friendly and helpful. I would stay on this farm again, if I were to return to this part of the Peaks. Thank you!

"Sorry not for us never again on a working farm to noisy."
Your cottage is in a block of cottages with one above u noisy.The cottage is very nice inside but your bed is in the one room so short stays would work but not a week.But is a great location for driving out each day visiting places of intrest.Last point we enjoyed our stay apart from points mentioned like noise.

"Lovely little bedsit on a nice farm, very pleasant hosts."
Accommodation had everything we needed for a relaxed week of gentle walks with our greyhound. A fenced/walled path around the farm is perfect for morning and evening strolls with a dog, with a lot of interesting things for them to sniff! The local paths outside of the main farm are on farm land so have walls/stiles which you may need to lift dogs over. Plenty of other walks a short drive away are more accessible.
Inside, the property was in good condition - everything worked as it should and the well equipped kitchen was clean with nice appliances.
Really minor thing for most people, but bins: Glass, composting, paper/cans/plastic and non-recyclable, which was nice!
Andrew, the host, kindly kept the giddy farm dogs calm and out of the way of our nervous rescue hound when she was out on the farm, and that was very much appreciated.
Great hosts, great accommodation, great area, great walks, great week to unwind and relax.

"Lucy and Andrew were perfect hosts."
Very welcoming and very willing to share their local knowledge, ensuring we had a great time. The directions to the cottage were clear and concise and the welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits was more than welcome after our long trip up. The cottage itself was warm and comfortable and beautifully equipped. I'd strongly recommend these hosts to anyone wanting a quiet break but not be too far from the facilities of Buxton and the cycling trails.

"Thank you so much for being so welcoming and friendly, providing a high spec accommodation while still being dog friendly!"
We loved our stay, the only thing that would stop us coming back with the dogs is having an enclosed front garden/ area onsite to take the dogs to toilet/ run around. I think the locals didn't like us with flash lights going down the track, we got some funny stares a few times. Other than this we will definitely be back for a long weekend without the dogs to visit the local caverns and places which are easier without pooches!

"Lovely little cottage."
Clean, warm and cosy. Had everything we needed.. There were only two issues for me, one was the space round the bed which was very tight for people, like myself, with mobility issues, The other was the TV/Freesat system. It took ages to switch it on with the two remotes. Otherwise no complaints and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The cottage is very well equipped to self cater and relax. You can enjoy a drink and a book very easily on the patio or just watch the world go by.
The location allows you to really explore the Peak District easily and with Buxton a mere 2 miles away it's easy to pick up supplies in the many shops and supermarkets.
Will definitely be telling my friends about it and hoping to return soon.

"The journey we had to get there, was quite precarious to say the least!"
We ended up driving the back way apparently to Cowdale Hall Farm, in Cowdale, Buxton! where there were no signs at all at the bottom of this very steep hill that our car being small only just got us there. That was my only criticism, which I informed the farmer about! Also, I was completely unaware we were staying on a farm! The advert for this endearing lovely place does not advertise it as being on a farm! As quaint and lovely as it was. The people running the place were friendly and welcoming.
