"I loved my stay in the cottage."
Everything was clean and comfortable. There were footpaths practically from the doorstep, which suited my dog too. Everone we met was really friendly and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed a meal at the Crispin complete with brass band.
I found the steps to the garden a little challenging and would not really have been comfortable sitting out there, but it was enclosed so I could let the dog out without a problem.
I recycle a lot at home and would have preferred having somewhere to collect rather than having to take to the outside store room.
My only other niggle was that the 2 doors into the downstairs shower room were difficult to close.
Apart from that I would give the property 5 stars. I even looked at house prices in the area, because I loved it so much, and would certainly come back again if you'll have me. Thank you.

"We loved our stay at Gritstone Cottage over Christmas week."
Great Longstone is a lovely village with 2 great pubs, ideally placed for walks on the doorstep and all around the Peak District. Comfortable, cosy living room, comfy beds and great shower. Really pleased to have a full size fridge freezer plus there is a good selection of kitchenware. The only minor thing to be aware of is the steep steps up to the garden which slippy when wet, could do with outdoor light as its pitch black out there when letting the dog out at night. Otherwise everything spot on and I'm sure we will be back again.

A comfortable cottage although the steps up and down to the Garden would cause problems for those with mobility issues even when dry I didn't feel too safe using the steps, while the Kitchen hob was similar to ours the lack of instructions for the oven made it a "hit and miss" trial until we got the right settings, Prefered to use the Crispin Pub for any meals we had out even though it was a tad pricy, over all I would give the cottage a 7/10 rating

"We had a good stay at Gritstone Cottage - it is well situated for touring the Peak District and Pub meals."
A couple of issues however - (1) the sofa in the lounge area was broken on our arrival - the seating is uncomfortable. (2) The seating area outside - where you should be able to sit out for a relaxing coffee/tea etc - is not at all good. The steps leading to that area are quite unsafe. Apart from that - as I said - we had a good time at the cottage. Trevor & Wendy Daykin
We have thoroughly inspected the sofa and not been able to locate where it was ‘broken’. We have returning guests who have checked in advance that we still have the same furniture because of the comfort, so a little confused about the uncomfortable comment. Glad you had a good time though

"My only comment would be that the garden and its access is quite difficult; our dog did go up each morning, but the steps are steep and a bit slippery in the wet; given the time of year we did not use the space for meals or drinks, so it was fine, but in the summer it should be made a bit clearer."
Otherwise, the cottage is beautiful, cosy, clean and has everything you need and is situated in a delightful, gorgeous Derbyshire village. For dog owners, I would mention the possibility of using a nearby field at the other end of the village where they can run free provided there are no sheep or cattle in the field. I would recommend Gritstone Cottage highly.

The photos of the property are shall we say very complimentary.
Hardly any facilities for clothing storage in bedroom 2, where bunk beds would have been more appropriate, to avoid having to shuffle sideways to negotiate the space between beds.

Great Longstone has two good pubs, with another within easy walking distance, and it has a convenient shop.

"We had a lovely week at Gritstone Cottage."
Comfortable, well equipped cottage in a lovely location . Roadside parking did not cause any problems, always got a space in front of cottage. Garden is secure for your dog but the steps leading to it are quite steep. The two pubs nearby are very welcoming with a good selection of food, both equally as nice and dog friendly. Great places to visit nearby. The only small negative was that there wasn’t anywhere nearby to let our dog off the lead, however we eventually discovered the Monsal Trail and would park at Hassop station (pay and display ) - there’s a lovely shop/cafe/wc there. I would advise that you book a table to eat in the pubs, particularly at the weekend as they do get quite busy.
We would visit this cottage again as we didn’t get to see as much as we liked due to me breaking my ankle the day before arriving at cottage - surgical boot and crutches hampered us somewhat but we made the most of our time here.

The cottage itself is situated in a beautiful quiet village and very close to Bakewell, Chatsworth and of course the Monsal trail. The scenery in the area is truly beautiful, the location of the cottage was perfect.
The lounge was very comfortable and the log burner fantastic for chilly evenings. We have stayed in cottages before with log burners and in our experience we have always had a few logs to start with to light the fire, there were no logs except the ones we had to buy.
Everything we needed in the kitchen, but perhaps a bigger frying pan would be an idea as with 4 people staying the pan seemed quite small.
Great to have a shower room downstairs and of course another bathroom upstairs, this worked very well for us.
All in all, a lovely cottage, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
