Hawthorn Cottage

• "A lovely cottage in a superb location."

  Eyam is an interesting village and has well dressings and a wakes week at the end of August which we had not realised when we booked. There are numerous wonderful walks of various length from the doorstep, a couple of shops and pub serving food ales and meals. Nearby are lots of other places to visit and all the pubs in the area are really good. The cottage was warm, comfortable and well equipped. What's not to like!

• "Hawthorn Cottage is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage in a quiet lane away from the busier parts of Eyam."

  We had a great week here, exploring the village and doing some lovely walks in the surrounding area. It was ideal for us as non drivers as there is a very handy bus stop at the end of the lane. Our only niggle was the amount of cobwebs and spiders. There were cobwebs down the side and underneath most of the furniture. However we would stay again.

• "When we arrived at the cottage, at 4."

  00pm on Friday afternoon, a smoke alarm was beeping. We contacted the owners directly and they informed us that they were in Cornwall. After some discussion we managed to reset the smoke alarm. Unfortunately, the alarm started beeping again at 2.45am the following morning. We contacted the owners again to give them an update of the situation. The alarm continued to beep again over the weekend after every 10 hours, which suggested that batteries needed changing. The owners arrived on the Monday afternoon to fix the problem. Our holiday was disrupted all over the weekend, which was disappointing. Other than that, the cottage is situated in a lovely location and suited our needs.

• "This is a lovely cosy cottage."

  It is one of the most well equipped cottages we have ever stayed in. We couldn't find anything that it was lacking. It was a real bonus to have a small bath and a shower. The location is perfect for walking straight out of the door and exploring the peak district.

• "Firstly like to say what a lovely little cottage, and the surrounding area."

  The stairs where the main objective to the entire holiday no bannister, difficult for up and down ,secondly the wood situation, as we were stopping 2weeks ,we only got I would say 2hrs burning of wood,thirdly the bed became very uncomfortable, there was rubbish left in the bin from the week before ,and at the end we hoovered the whole cottage

• "Hawthorn cottage was very comfortable and welcoming and a great base for visiting areas in the Peak District the village is lovely and has lots of history to it."

  A visit to Chatsworth House is a must,and Bakewell is quaint and make sure you try the Bakewell pudding.Castleton is also a beautiful place to visit. As Mentioned in previous reviews the stairs are a but steep and no banister at top so if your mobility isn't great like mine it may be tricky, adding a rope banister or a small one at top of stairs would help .Also we found a few cleaning issues that need addressing like very stained mugs,dirty utensils, and greasy dusty pot that they were in, dirty freezer draws, and lots of hairs in the bath but this didn't spoil our stay and we would return.Just a little bit more attention to detail would make a difference.

  A stroll to amenities, it's a very good base from which to enjoy the peaks. The only thing lacking is a view from the sitting room window but the proximity to a few lovely villages make up for that. Parking out front is handy and the neighbours seem nice.

• "An extremely comfortable cottage, with a lot of things provided and in a very good position."

  The only (slight) negative concerns the stairs. For an older person they are a little steep and anyone above average height should mind their head! My wife and I are both in our 70's and coped ok, but they could be an issue for others. Overall, it is certainly recommended. We would rate the cottage 9/10.

  We found the cottage very warm and comfortable. Location was perfect. We explored the village and walked from the door to The Barrel Inn.

The only criticism I would have is the bed squeaks every time you turn over in bed.

• "Even nicer than the pictures would suggest."

  The sitting room is a very comfortable space to look at the many useful guidebooks to walks etc in the area provided by the owner. The kitchen is larger than I expected from the photos, and is a lovely bright space lit by Velux windows. Good large fridge/freezer. Super impressed at the high quality of everything provided - Stellar pans, Dualit kettle, Rosenthal knives, Denby china etc. Everything has been thought of - handy guide to oven temperature equivalents, box of wires for charging tech items in case you forgot to bring the right one, small torch in bedroom etc Bed is king size and comfortable and nicely appointed bathroom complete with Christy towels. Cottage is situated in a dead end and is blissfully quiet yet easy walking distance to the sights and amenities of the village and great walks from the door. Parking for free in the road on a first come first served basis and we never had a problem getting a spot. Despite being there in August, the unseasonably cold weather meant I can confirm that the heating works well :-) Highly recommended for a couple and I hope to return.

  3.30, we had a problem with the lock box where it said press clear button downwards but not release, we had help from the owner next door who was used to these lock boxes. I rang the phone numbers on your paperwork, everyone went to voicemail, nobody came back until 8.00pm. I feel someone should be around, I understand the man who cleans, his car was parked across from the cottage when I rang those numbers but gave no help. Also your instructions to the cottage should say when you see Little Edge turn into it and the cottage is on your left.
