What guests are saying
Arriving at The Old Coach House, we immediately felt the welcoming warmth of a true family home.
Settling in for our week-long stay, we were eager to discover every grand, historic corner of this beautiful retreat. We wandered across the polished parquet floors, completely charmed by the rustic beams and exposed brick. Climbing the magnificent stone spiral staircase tucked inside the external turret felt like stepping back in time. Leafing through the welcome guide in the snug, we read the fascinating history of the building, learning how it originally served the neighbouring Vicarage and how the owner had so meticulously restored it while preserving its soul. Though the Peak District weather was often challenging throughout our week, the house was a perfect haven for us. It offered a profound sense of peace and tranquility that felt deeply healing. Furthermore, the property provided the perfect base to venture out and discover the surrounding historic towns and beautiful local walks whenever the skies allowed.
From start to finish, The Old Coach House is a (pleasant) expereience.
You feel like you are walking into someone’s large and expansive property after they have just gone out for the day. This is far from your typical rental property. We thoughly enjoyed our stay from start to finish. There is a window seat in the “second lounge” from which you can comfortably look into the expansive back garden and surrounding countryside. Three big double bedrooms (and a single) were all comfortable. Kitchen is modern and has plenty of cutlery and crockery. Sheen is more of a small farming village. You are “in the middle of nowhere, but not far from anywhere”. Come prepared with your own food and supplies as there is no local shop just around the corner. There is also only the single family bathroom. And beware of the farm dog across the road who comes into the back garden to “explore” and leave his scent. But if you want peace and quiet in the countryside in a large and expansive property, this should be ideal for you. Thank you, Sir G, for keeping the authenticty of a family home and allowing strangers to enjoy the best of the Peak District and return to a wonderful property after a long day out.
This is a lovely property, lots of room for the amount of people who can stay (and loads of private parking space too).
The only downside is it's a little difficult to all sit in the same room of an evening. The property inside and out is beautiful and the views from the property are amazing too. The only major downside we had was we had WiFi for 24 hours at the start then nothing for the rest of our stay, and the TVs were all set to use the internet too so we could only watch dvds, no news, sports or in our case the new year coming in. The contact was helpful in chasing it but was not fixed during our stay. The place is very private and a really nice house and view, would definitely consider booking again.
