Holmefield

Everything we needed for our holiday.

The house was very clean and warm (heating was on) which was good because it was a cold day. Everything on the doorstep, from visiting Bakewell, Chatsworth, general walks, pub (very close indeed which had good food and drink) and access to other areas in the Peak District.

We had a great break at Holmefield - a very comfortable cottage in a lovely village and surroundings.

Within easy reach of lots of interesting places and walks. Bakewell especially, is worth a visit, and the Monsal Trail too - which is easily accessible on foot from the cottage. The property was ideal for us, comfortable and well appointed. The only minor criticisms would be that the exterior would benefit from a bit of attention, and the main bathroom / toilet off the dining area wasn’t ideal, but not a real issue and we were aware of the layout before booking.

The cottage is in an idyllic position in a village with two pubs and within walking distance of the amazing Packhorse Inn.

The surrounding countryside is simply fabulous. In general, the cottage is well equipped and spacious. A major issue for us was that, having been advised there would be a child’s cot available and asked to bring bedding, we arrived to find that no cot was provided. Equipment is generally very good, and we especially enjoyed the coffee machine and the comprehensive range of cookware provided. We did, however, find it difficult to store milk or wine bottles as the tray in the fridge door is missing, and there was also a broken corkscrew. More towels and shower mats would be beneficial. Instead of the large number of cushions on the beds (with nowhere to store them), we would have preferred comfortable feather pillows, although the beds themselves are comfy. There is plenty of parking, and the cottage has a nicely tucked‑away position.

Beautiful cottage in a perfect location.

Cottage has everything you need and was very clean and spacious. Lots of walks from the doorstep, easy to walk to the Monsal Trail. Quackers cafe was lovely and The Crispin served lovely meals. Catch the bus to Bakewell and walk back. Shall definitely return.

Holmefield was well equipped and had a lovely homely feel.

It was well placed for a variety of local walks and places; the monsall trail, Bakewell, Buxton, Chatsworth and Carsington water. The heating worked well making it cosy despite the wet January weather. Please note there were no logs for fire. Overall a very pleasant stay and we would like to return later in the year.

This was our 3rd visit and we appreciated the improvements.

The heating was much better and a good idea to put the blue sofa in the lounge. Very comfortable beds and property feels like home. Super TV. So we have booked end of February and next December too. Would highly recommend.

3rd visit.

Disappointed this time. No hairdryer, no pack for fire, no blankets, no spare towels. Heating has been set and locked and not to a very warm temperature. Mum who we took with us was in her 90's and was cold so we had to go and buy blankets to keep her warm. Don't think we will book

Really great property all round.

Definitely one of the best we have stayed in - we would happily return. Great equipped kitchen with everything easy to use and working well. Super comfortable sofa and bed, lovely blend of modern with character. Excellent location, completely private property.

Holmfield needs lots of maintenance jobs, KITCHEN TAP IS LOOSE causing me to get very hot water over my arm a couple of times.

VACUUM CLEANER LEAD IS WORN WIRES EXPOSED . RAIN SHOWER in downstairs shower room kept coming OFF THE WALL. SINK IN EN-SUITE LEAKED WHEN TURNED ON causing water to run all over the vanity surface. IN THE SAME BEDROOM THE CATCH ON THE WINDOW WAS HANGING BY ONE SCREW. This was our fourth stay at this cottage and we have always enjoyed our stay but lack of maintenance is obviously showing. Although it was July the weather was not good and there was no way to put any heating on to help dry our walking clothes and the cottage felt cold ( we were wearing coats indoors) Cleaning the windows would be a good idea too.

This was my third visit to Holmfield and I'm sure it won't be my last.

Lovely cottage, well presented, comfortable and fully equipped.

Beds and showers lovely. Good area for exploring with 2 pubs and small shop within walking distance. Could have been a little more information for the cottage, had to contact owner for WiFi code, but came back quickly. Also a couple of fold up chairs for sitting outside would have been helpful but we had a really lovely time, thank you.

Holmfield is in a very quiet spot and is convenient for exploring this beautiful part of Derbyshire.

However, we were surprised to have to empty the dishwasher from the previous occupier when we arrived. We did put out the general rubbish bin, as requested, but it was quite difficult for us to have to drag it down to the roadside, as it was full, again with previous occupiers' rubbish. Generally the cottage is well equipped, but there was nothing left for us to clean the sink etc. Luckily we had brought our own. One niggle for us was that the cottage was quite cold, as it is poorly insulated. The heating is difficult to understand, as it doesn't heat up quickly and if we turned the dial up to the limit, it took for ages to reach it and then quickly went down again, so we were constantly having to turn it up again. In spite of this, we would recommend Holmfield and would be happy to return.

Lovely cottage in a lovely village.

The only downside for me was the garden not enclosed, so if you want to relax in garden area with a dog not very relaxing as a short driveway to the road. Would definitely stay again but would not take the fur baby as he likes to just lay in the Sun.

This is our third visit to Holmfield and it won’t be our last.

Love the house, the location, the village and the area.

The cottage is great for pet holidays.

We were a little cold during the coldest period of February. It was in the minus most nights and there is no double glazing and the heating couldn’t quite cope. The stairs are also steep so older people would struggle

The curb appearance isn’t the best with paint cracked and peeling but once inside the cottage is warm and cosy.

The bedrooms are large and the beds really comfortable. We had the best nights sleep. The only problem downstairs was as has been already said the couch in the living room is very uncomfortable and so we bought with us an old quilt which we folded and it was ok then but maybe two new settees should be purchased. But all in all an excellent cottage and a beautiful village we will definitely be booking it again.

The cottage is beautiful and we loved our stay.

The beds are super comfy and I loved using the range to cook Christmas Dinner. The sofa in the frontroom needs to be replaced, it isn't really fit for purpose. The boiler is loud, like a siren. I have tinnitus and found it u comfortable at times. From outside the cottage it sounds like a siren. Though minor points it does reflect on the overall stay. We loved the location and it didn't stop us from having a wonderful break. Resolve those small issues and I couldn't fault it.

This is the best cottage I have stayed in!

!! It is well equipped and very comfortable. The whole place is a delight and highly recommended. It has everything needed for a relaxed and memorable holiday. THANK YOU!!!

Clean, well equipped cottage.

Warm and comfortable, with the exception of the lounge sofa that has tired seating which makes it slightly uncomfortable. That being said it's only a minor issue. Excellent location, walks from the door plus many other attractions / walks are only a short drive away. Thanks for allowing dogs, the garden is not secure having an open shared drive. Not a problem for us just something to be aware of. Overall a good cottage and a great holiday.

Holmefield cottage was nicely decorated and all the appliances and equipment needed to enjoy and explore the surrounding countryside.

Clean, tidy, comfortable bed, nice outdoor area to sit and enjoy a BBQ and would highly recommend.

Beautiful cottage and location, thoroughly enjoyed our stay didn't want to come home!

Crispin pub was fantastic food and friendly staff was no noise and big portions so went back for just pudding couple of afternoons. Cottage kitchen was well equipped, very clean. The only negative as has already been highlighted was the lounge sofa! But in the grand scheme of location and beauty gorgeous

A lovely house in a wonderful location.

The pub next door does good food at very reasonable prices and allows dogs, which is an important consideration for us. The scenery in this area is quite sublime and you don't have to drive very far to see it. We will definitely come again.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

We have stayed in great longstone a few times now and this was one of the best cottages we have stayed in. The downstairs space is plentiful and gives the cottage a lovely homely feel. The bed was big and comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it highly to others. The location is brilliant for exploring the peak distract with plenty of walks from the cottage and places to drive to. We love the area so much as do our dogs. Most places in the area are dog friendly too.

Nice property in a nice location, have booked 2 more visits.

Very comfortable cottage and well equipped.

Not enough glasses in the property. Only downside was the garden furniture which really needed cleaned. Great location for exploring the Peak District and two good pubs in the village.

Have stayed here three times we love the property, the village the people, beds are comfortable the kitchen supplies great, only one person at a time can have a shower ( there are two) otherwise the upper stairs shower loses pressure but is no problem if you let other people staying with you know.

Husband says the windows could with a good clean but his pet hate is dirty windows. Please could the owner clean the garden furniture so it can be used I ask this every time I stay here.

My second time at Holmfield, and it won't be my last.

Spare black bin bags would be useful.

Great location and lovely village but there were a few aspects of the cottage itself which we were disappointed in.

The shower in the upstairs en-suite had very low pressure, the heat fluctuated hugely on it’s own and at times the water pressure was so low it wouldn’t work at all. The write up stated that there would be a starter pack for the log burner. This consisted of one log and some newspaper!!!! It was very chilly on our first couple of evenings but we were unable to light the fire as the promised fuel wasn’t supplied. There was an ant issue in the kitchen. They got into the food in the cupboards. The kitchen was rather short of equipment. Some Pyrex bowls and a measuring jug would have been handy amongst other things. The bathroom towels were small and definitely past their best. As this is a dog friendly cottage it would be nice to have a secure garden but the garden is open to the road and the shared driveway. Furniture in the sitting room not particularly comfortable after a long day walking when you just want to relax. Bigger bedroom could really do with a chest of drawers. Weeds growing everywhere just outside the cottage giving it a rather uncared for appearance. Outdoor furniture definitely needs jet washing. It was covered in moss and lichen. However, beds very comfortable with great pillows and quilts.

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Very clean, spacious and well maintained. Despite being close to the local pub it was very quiet which was great. It was missing a few essentials such as washing up liquid, washing powder and matches, but these could be bought locally, so not a real problem. I would definitely recommend a stay here and will be looking to come back in the future.

Great cottage in a lovely village, well equipped and furnished.

We couldn't find any oven gloves, however a text to Richard the owner and he brought some new ones over the next day.

Wonderful cottage and area for walking and relaxing.

First class

The directions were totally inadequate and it took 50 minutes to find it.

We had to ask several local residents and we eventually found one who knew where it was and who told us she had been asked on more than one occasion. All that needs to be put is ‘You will find the driveway to the right of the Crispin public house’ Why has this not been rectified yet is beyond me. It was a bad start to our holiday. The cottage is lovely but as previously stated in the reviews and guest book, the lounge furniture is not comfortable. The bedrooms were excellent and good quality bedding. We had a wonderful time and the area is great.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Holmefield- the property is really well equipped, was spotlessly clean and the beds are so comfortable.

The garden is brilliant. Our only feedback is that the leather suite in the living room looks good but isn’t very comfortable. We didn’t use the room much as a result but loved everything else. Great location and next to Crispins pub which is fantastic. We have already booked again for 4 nights in December- really excited to be there at Christmas.

Very enjoyable stay, the second year running, lovely cottage in a lovely village.

The Cottage was in a lovely quiet location, although next to the pub, we did not hear any noise at all.

The garden space was lovely, even with it not being fenced off, our dogs loved it and we had no trouble with them roaming off. Perfectly clean Cottage, had all we needed for self catering, well equipped. Very comfortable beds and house throughout. So lovely we have booked it again.

Th description of how to find Holmefield should include mention of access alongside The Crispin pub car park.

A wood-burner starter pack (other than scrunched up paper) was missing. The overall impression is a lovely holiday cottage but on closer inspection it is revealed that the property could do with a deep clean: 1) windows absolutely filthy, 2) garden furniture black with deposits and unable to use, 3) grease filters in cooker hood visibly coated, 4) hob and ovens "sticky", 5) shower sumps and covers coated with residue and filled with hair, 6) venetian blinds sticky with dust, 7) still had dog hair on the indoor entrance mat, 8) the freezer was congested with ice (we left it defrosting). I can send some photos if required We enjoyed our stay due to the area, sights and dog walks. The accommodation was acceptable but with some highlighted issues. On the plus side: beds very comfortable and clean

All very good except for the leather suit on the lounge which was very uncomfortable .

We loved this house.

Booking again for next year. Perfect location for walking. Perfect location for a pint after the walk! Directions and sign to cottage could be better. It really is literally next to the pub...go along the side of the car park and its there! Beds big and comfy. Slept so well! Kitchen large and well equipped. Downside. The living room furniture was very uncomfortable. Sofa too soft as it seems everyone uses it as the wing chairs are awful especially if you are short, I really couldn't sit in there. But the dining room had a comfy sofa and we spent most of our time in there. We didn't go to watch tv anyway but to be out and about.

We had a great time in the cottage.

Great location for exploring the area. Cottage was clean and cosy. Our only issues were: nothing to light a fire with (I know it was May but it was really cold weather!!) and the garden wasn’t dog proof. They could easily take themselves off to the pub if not supervised at all times!!!

Second time staying at this property, it is comfortable, warm when required and very clean on occupancy.

A favourite of mine is it is forty paces to a brilliant pub, what’s not to love. We are looking forward to staying here again next year.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Holmefield.

We were four adults and one dog on a walking weekend. The cottage and the location were just perfect. Great Longstone is a really beautiful village with walks from the door so there isn’t any need to drive anywhere. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. A large range cooker a sizeable fridge freezer and plenty of storage space for groceries. The bedrooms were very comfortable, it was lovely to wake up and look out over the scenery through the large windows. We had a meal in the Crispin pub the night we arrived and popped in each day for refreshments when we returned from our walks. It is a family friendly pub and they are very welcoming. The cottage is a 30 second walk from the crispin but don’t let it’s proximity put you off of the cottage as you wouldn’t know the pub was there, it doesn’t intrude on the tranquillity of the accommodation. Would highly recommend

Lovely cottage.

Very clean on arrival. Great location.

Lovely cottage, in the heart of Gt Longston, adjacent to the Crispin, yet secluded and private.

Own driveway to two parking bays. Large lawned garden, (not enclosed). Period house, large well equipped kitchen, leading through to dinning room then spacious lounge. Large bedrooms with comfy quality beds and bedding. One onsuite, one you use downstairs loo, (vgood shower). No traffic noise, peaceful and quiet. The Queen Anne chairs and chestfield sofa, match the period of the house, but are not as comfortable as stylish. So much on the doorstep, Monsall, Chee Dale, Chatsworth, Thornbridge, Haddon, Bakewell and many more. Would recommend.

Excellently well equipped little cottage.

Beautiful location. Very clean and well kept. Would Definitely look to stay again. Some lovely walks right on the doorstep.

The property was spotlessly clean and full of character, and made an excellent first impression.

As the week unfolded we appreciated how well the kitchen was equipped and how comfortable the beds were. They village was lovely; two excellent pubs and walks in all directions, even a tiny convenience shop that stocked local cheeses. No hesitation in recommending this cottage.

Excellent position and good socialising space for a group of 2 married couples.

Super cooking range and an excellent wood burning stove in the lounge. The village is lovely and has excellent access to local walks. It could have been much cleaner though with urine stains on the mattress cover sheet in the second bedroom and awful staining to the pillows especially one. The lounge carpet was covered in four legged friend hair. There is mould on the windows and on the bathroom walls and the shower in the small bedroom rarely got to temperature or pressure so a shower was a challenge! The parking is tight with the space at the entrance very difficult to get into/out of.

Comfortable, warm and characterful cottage.

Would have liked chest of drawers or wardrobe in bedroom as nowhere to hang full length clothes.Otherwise lovely bedrooms with Comfortable, large beds and good quality bedding. Very functional kitchen, only issue was the washer dryer which collects dirty water after use. Great location next to a very friendly and atmospheric pub serving good pub food. Would stay again and recommend

Fantastic cosy cottage with well equipped kitchen including things like scales, slow cooker, tea pot etc.

Shame there was no photo of the fantastic range cooker. Super comfy beds. Lovely log fire and appreciated the starter pack provided. We arrived for Christmas and it looked festive with a Christmas tree and we were left some festive gifts - thank you. The village is beautiful and has a small shop selling essentials including newspapers and local produce. We attended the Christmas Carols on the green which was fun too. The Crispin pub right next door was friendly with open fires and good beer.

A delightful cottage, cosy and warm, in a lovely secluded spot, a couple of nice pubs more or less on the doorstep with open fires and serving good food.

We would very much like to return in the not to distant future.

A very nice property located in a lovely village.

I would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering booking. Very comfortable beds, furnishings to a high standard. Plenty of good pubs nearby selling appetising food.

Great holiday, seating in sitting room could be improved.

Would stay again .

What an absolutely beautiful cottage and area, it was an idealistic location for our holiday and the cottage couldn’t have been better everything that we could have wanted was available to us and we felt so at home there

Comfortable and mostly clean, spiders webs an issue, better than average cooker and fridge freezer (superb in fact) slow cooker, coffee machine all there, could have done with one more lidded medium saucepan, a tea tray and a few pegs.

A bit sparse on clothes storage. All in all very clean and comfortable, one small suggestion a bench under the dining room window to catch the late sun, found we sat on the wall a lot.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village.

Very quiet and peaceful with friendly locals. Plenty to do within a few miles for all the family. The cottage was clean and well furnished. It was very cool in the blistering heat and the garden offered both sun and shade. New cushions were left for the outside furniture and there was entry of charcoal for the bbq. Thank you for a relaxing holiday.

We enjoyed our stay, especially the cool lounge during temperatures of 39 degrees!

Our only complaint is the problem with the dishwasher waste water making it's way into the washing machine drum It really needs to be rectified, hence the 4 start rating.

Lovely cottage in a lovely village, couldn't have enjoyed our stay more.

Brilliant property we highly recommend it.

Some points we were not very happy about 1. The washing machine had dirty water sitting in the washing machine. 2. Some cutlery was left in the dishwasher. 3. En suite shower was not draining properly so we cleaned out the plug hole which was full of hair, soap. 3. Dead flies on window ledges, multiple rooms. 4. Peanuts and debris under cushion on window seat. 5. Dirty finger marks on doors, looked like newspaper print. 6. Pull up blind on dining room broken it had a coat hanger holding it up. 7. Out side furniture was disgustingly dirty and not usable which spoilt pleasant evenings to sit outside. I do not think this property had a DEEP clean at all.

Holiday cottages are what they but we enjoyed our stay.

It would have been good to have had some oven gloves and a kitchen roll. Disappointed in the outside sitting as seats were wet and soiled with bird poo, perhaps new ones could be purchased or old ones washed with instructions to have them brought in when not in use.

Great location plenty of good walking on the doorstep two fine pubs for a great evening meal .

Warm and cosy cottage excellent beds would come again

What a lovely cottage.

Situated in a quiet village with 3 pubs within 10 mins walk and 10 mins walk to the monsal trail. Sitting by the log fire at night topped off the 4 nights we had there. I've already recommended this cottage to several of our friends.

Holmefield is an excellent, very well equipped holiday cottage.

The only slight quibbles were: The directions to the property were inadequate. Why do they not tell you to take the road which goes up the right hand side of the car park of the Crispin pub? We had to ask several people in the village where the property was. In the bedroom with the en suite there was nowhere to hang the towels. Because the door of the en suite has a glass panel, it would be difficult to put hooks on the door, so I can’t offer a solution to this.

Very well equipped cottage with super comfy beds.

We had a fabulous holiday at Holmefield.

It is a genuinely comfortable and cosy cottage. My husband met the owner one day and he was very welcoming and helpful. The cottage was spotless, well equipped, warm and beautifully furnished. The beds were really comfortable and with the option to have both as king size or twin which is a bonus. It is really well placed for the Monsal Trail which is what we had wanted and for other attractions like Chatsworth. I would highly recommend it and we will return!

Really fantastic cottage.

Very comfortable with everything you can need. Couldn't have asked for more from the property, would have been great to visit in the summer. We were away for a 70th birthday and my mother in law loved the property. Only point to improve would be in the directions for finding the cottage. The email instructions were poor, all it really needed to say was the cottage is to the right of the Crispin pub.

No fish slice to even turn over a fried egg etc.

Pans were below standard, and very limited in sizes.

What a lovely cottage!

Warm and comfortable with a lovely pub next door and superb access to Bakewell, the Monsal Trail and Chatsworth House. A well-equipped kitchen, large beds and a great lounge made our stay memorable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Holmefield Cottage last week even though Storm Arwen sent challenges.

The cottage is cosy and homely and has a kitchen which is fully equipped - most helpful when you cook in most nights. When we say equipped - It had everything, from the most amazing Rangemaster cooker, a decent freezer (which is almost unheard of in holiday cottages), a microwave, to a garlic crusher and scissors! The beds are super comfy and the showers are great. The only thing we wanted to point out to the owners was that it might be useful if there were a couple of hooks on the backs of the bedroom doors to hang towels (admittedly we didn't notice the airer in the downstairs cupboard until the day we left) but thought this might be handy, and one other thing, we felt the leather sofas in the living room were a bit uncomfortable but shifting our position we made it work. This DID NOT dampen our enjoyment of the cottage however, we just wanted to provide this feedback to the owner. There's a great smart TV in the living room with Netflix and Amazon Prime and a warming log burner too. Funnily enough we didn't use it even though it was sub-degree temperatures outside because the heating in the cottage was so effective. Storm Arwen gave us gales, snow and ice and the owners kindly popped by to shovel away the snow and ice from the drive which made walking down the hill a bit easier and safer. We absolutely love visiting Great Longstone with its picturesque village setting, its great pubs (some of which serve veggie and vegan options) and its lovely walks and trails straight from the door. The Monsal trail is accessible about 1 mile away through some fields and a must for explorers. The cottage's garden is useful for when you have a dog and we would imagine it would be a nice space to use during summer. All in all, Strom Arwen aside - we had a really great break and loved Holmefield Cottage. We recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday where they can re-charch their batteries in a wonderful Derbyshire village.

Fabulous hol in this lovely cottage.

Beds were sooo comfortable! Cottage was very warm and cosy and best equipped cottage we’ve ever had! Nice and quiet but ideally placed for walking, visiting local sights and eating, drinking pubs that were very dog friendly. We would love to return soon.

The house itself is good and generally clean and comfortable.

Very uncluttered which is great for dogs and for bringing your own stuff. What you are not told is that you are potentially totally overlooked by another house that not only shares your parking area but has a right of way immediately past your outside seating area. Luckily at this time of year we were not outside and the other house was unoccupied. Also, a warning for dog owners, the garden is not at all secure. The entrance gate is off its hinges (and looks as if it has been for many years) and your dogs could run into a pub car park or fairly busy road if you don’t supervise them all the time they are out. There was no “starter pack" for the log burner as promised, the dishwasher still empties into the washing machine as noted by a previous guest and, also previously noted, the frying pan is not fit for purpose. We had to go out and buy our own. There was no fish slice either so getting things out of the frying pan was a challenge. You can generally tell whether the owner has ever stayed in the cottage by the standard of fixtures and fittings and I suspect that they have not in this case so little niggles like extra hooks, bedside tables and the range of cooking utensils all grated a bit. We had to use head torches to read in bed. We appreciated the fact that it was not brimming over with instructions but it might have been worth telling guests that there is a major issue with refuse collection currently. Also, if you do not provide food waste and recycling facilities at the house e.g. food waste caddy and a kitchen bin arrangement that allows you to separate items for recycling we are not going to spend our holidays working it out and that means it all goes in one bin. We did leave it as we found it, with a rather dirty cooker/oven.

A previous visitor stated that there was an issue with refuse collection.

I spoke to the owner who advised me that there were a shortage of drivers in Derbyshire County Council and will hopefully be resolved over the next few months.

We met the owner during the week as he came round to put a notice in the property regarding bin collection.

We talked with him for a while to praise the level of fantastic facilities. The rooms were all exceptional and the location right next to The Crispin pub was a real bonus too. This property has to be one of the best we have stayed at if not the best over many years. The people who clean this property have to be given some praise also as the property was immaculate when we arrived on our first day. Will return again for sure.

There’s a problem with the dishwasher when it’s draining, the waste water is somehow getting into the washing machine and fills it with dirty water!

Also, the area outside where the bins are kept was overflowing with bags of rubbish when we arrived, goodness knows when the rubbish was last taken away. We couldn’t even put it out for the binmen as there were no instructions in the cottage to say which bin collection was due while we were there. We had to resort to finding a local recycling centre to dispose of some of it, we shouldn’t have to do that on holiday.

Fantastic cottage in a stunning location.

Everything was perfect, including the weather! There was everything we could of needed for a very comfortable stay for the humans and the dogs. We’ve had a brilliant holiday and will definitely visit again.

A fabulous cottage in a lovely village.

Very well equipped and beautifully presented. Easy access to the Monsall Trail and many footpaths. Both the pubs in the village have good food and welcome dogs. We can’t wait to return.

Very nicely furnished and homely cottage.

Excellent location close to pubs and to Bakewell.

Cottage was not cleaned very well, floors had not been mopped, the cushions on the chairs and settee were full of crumbs when you lifted them up and also the bay window seat, skirting boards and under radiators were thick with dust.

When I took the quilt cover off the quilt itself on one corner was completely shredded, the hoover was rammed full of dust and my husband had to spend half an hour cleaning it. I feel that this was due to the cleaners and think that the owner who was very pleasant should check the cottage more often. The settee on left side was so thin and squashed it was difficult when you sat down to get up, bearing in mind I am only slim. The cottage itself was well equipped and in a enviable position in great long stone.

Lovely cottage, slick and span

Generally cottage was lovely a little tiered in places and parking a bit tight for two large cars, a hair dryer would be good, great kitchen and rooms flowed nicely both village pubs great and on the doorstep excellent bus route stops virtually outside, went to rebook on arrival home same week 2022 found price increased by £330 so that won’t be happening, such a shame

hi cottage was great direction could have been better as we drove up and down the high street to find the drive way was part of the crispinn drive way this could have been mentioned.

frying pan needs replacing with nonstick pan and a lighter one would be better to.

This cottage is fabulous and the pictures really don’t do it justice.

The kitchen is so incredibly well stocked with excellent appliances and good quality crockery etc. The decor is lovely throughout and the furniture is comfortable and attractive. The beds are super comfortable. It’s lovely and warm, central heating and a log burner. Ideally situated in the heart of the village and next door to an excellent pub. I heartily recommend this cottage

Holiday & Location - Having visited Great Longstone before we knew the local attractions, walks, pubs etc.

that we wanted to go to. The White Lion and The Crispin in the village are both very good, and the Bulls Head in Ashford in the Water only a short footpathed-walk or drive away. - Lovely walks over the hill into Bakewell (convenient bus stop as an alternative), also longer walks along Monsal Head & the river to Millers Dale (Anglers Rest pub recommended) and across Longstone Edge to Eyam (Eyam Village Tearooms very good) - Derwent Reservoirs were only an hour's drive away - but busy, for us the local walks were the highlight of our visit. Cottage Furnishing and equipment were all high quality, very smart & comfortable throughout. Excellent shower, comfy beds and good wifi - the key essentials! Quirky cottage layout - a floorplan would have given us a better sense of what to expect. Also a diagram of the allocated parking spaces as they weren't obvious - we worked it out but one was too cramped to use.

A home from home.

Careful attention to detail throughout.

Lovely cottage in the perfect location, one of nicest cottages we’ve stayed in and we’ve been to lots.

There’s was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 dogs, the cottage is really well equipped and decorated to a high standard, the beds are very comfortable too. We loved it so much that we have already booked for next year!

The best place we have stayed at.

Lovely cottage, immaculately presented, great cooking facilities, comfortable beds. 10 out of 10!! Village is great, two pubs in easy walking distance, awesome running and walking trails. We intend to come back

Really lovely cottage.

Fantastic location and good facilities. Would be happy to come back. Only comment is the directions to get to the cottage could have been a bit clearer.
