• "Lovely house for a big group to share-and very comfortable - the garden with the stream is lovely , but not safe to let kids or dogs out as stream is fast running and not fenced off."

  The table tennis was great and we used it alot- it would have been fetter if the table football was downstairs rather than in a bedroom. Overall I would recommend as so comfy for a big group

  Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are glad to hear your party enjoyed themselves . We would mention that the stream was fast running due to the heavy rainfall, but most children and parents really enjoy paddling in the stream along with their dogs. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely weekend away."

  The property was spacious and comfortable and we all enjoyed sitting round the table together. We particularly liked the big bath and the large beds. We all enjoyed playing Pooh sticks on the bridge just round the corner. We had a couple of concerns about safety to let you know about- the black railings outside on the decking are loose. One of our party nearly fell over as he lent on them. Some of the kitchen knives are in need of replacement. One has its tip missing. Another broke as I was using it. The blade snapped and flew off the handle. We were lucky it didn’t hurt anyone as there were children sitting at the breakfast bar at the time. We’ve left these knives on the windowsill. We also ran out of toilet rolls- there were a few half rolls in one of the bathrooms. But I think 2 or 3 rolls per bathroom would be reasonable to expect. Thank you for a lovely stay.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Willow Brook."

  The house was beautiful and perfect size for our group. The rooms were all spacious and maintained well. Paul and Jen were always available when we wanted to ask a question and went the extra mile by even welcoming us with some treats. We plan to definately visit this house in the future and hope to make many more memorable moments. All the best!!

• "Beautifully appointed house immaculately clean with so much space for our family get together and coronation celebrations."

  Willow Brook has best ‘kitchen equipment’ supplies we have ever seen in an holiday home, everything we needed and more. I (incorrectly) thought there was a problem with something, had to contact Paul who went above and beyond in trying to sort it out and was most gracious when I rang back to apologise for my mistake. If you want a property with lots of room, well equipped and in easy reach of local facilities I would not hesitate to recommend.

  Good accommodation for 11 people and two dogs. Sky TV wasn't available. Some beds old and uncomfortable. Some quilts and pillows old and stained. Dishwasher didn't work properly. Back door didn't lock. Recycle and waste disposal information was out of date. Several light bulbs not working.

We have reviewed your feedback and have: - updated guest information pack, ensuring recycling information is up to date; - checked every light and replaced the bulbs where needed; - Replaced the dishwasher; - Fixes the back door lock; - Checked every bed and replaced mattresses, pillows and the bedding where needed. Thank you for bringing these to our attention. We hope you and your family consider returning to visit us again soon. Best wishes - Willow Brook Property Owner

• "This was our second visit to Willow Brook and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting the area and needs a bigger property."

  Very clean, welcoming and the added extra meant we didn’t think twice about booking it a second time. More than a home from home and this visit we had five generations and all catered for

• "A wonderful place to stay, we really enjoyed it."

  We had the whole family there for our 50th wedding anniversary. There was plenty to do for everybody both in the house and in the local area. Some excellent restaurants (although not on Mondays and Tuesdays - but then there's a Weatherspoons in town). The heating system took a bit of getting used to but it wasn't a problem. Altogether an excellent place to stay

• "In the kitchen."

  2 or 3 more medium sized saucepans would have been useful (instead of half a dozen frying pans). Also the gas hob seemed to have a mind of its own, and was often difficult to light, especially after it had been used and you wanted to relight it. This applied to all the rings. (The ring would ignite but go out when the knob was released) Not sure what can be done about it, but the creaking from the flooring in the 2nd floor bedrooms, is excessively load when heard from the bedrooms below. Guests walking about in the top floor rooms sound as though they’re in the room with you during the early hours. Finally, it would be helpful to change the bag in the vacuum cleaner in the utility room (Henry) We used this several times and the smell from the collection of pet hair is overpowering. Apart from these minor criticisms, we had a most enjoyable stay, and the property is ideal for family celebrations.

• "We had a perfect stay at Willow Brook!"

  A family of 11 including one baby and ranging in ages from 1 - 59 plus two dogs. The house is extremely comfortable with ample room for everyone to have their own space or congregate together. The kitchen / dining area is set up perfectly to all eat and cook together but the star of the show for us was the table tennis room. Thank you for allowing us a weekend of eating, drinking, singing dancing and making memories. Quick and efficient communication from owner and the single only con we could think of is that there was no pepper!

  The layout was perfect for our family get together, providing lots of space and different areas to gather in smaller groups or as a whole party. The kitchen was well equipped for a large group and the dining table perfect for 12. Table tennis and table football were well used and enjoyed. Excellent communication with the owner.

• "Absolutely wonderful house - spotlessly clean, loads of communal space (2 lounges and a huge kitchen/diner/sitting room too)."

  Bedrooms all beautifully furnished and decorated, kitchen well equipped, appliances clean. We had a couple of minor issues that were quickly addressed (within 10 minutes!) by the owners who were straight round. Great for dogs - ours had a lovely time and we appreciated the little touches of bowls and bags provided, as well as the utility room for drying off muddy paws. We will definitely come again for future extended family gatherings. Might need to practice our table tennis and table football to beat the kids next time!

• "Willow Brooke was perfect for our stay."

  The house is lovely, warm and welcoming and quiet, perfect after a long day of walking. It felt very much like a home. We joked about it being 'the house that kept on giving' as it was so well stocked up with everything we needed to be able to enjoy cooking in the evening. We had brought our own equipment for our homemade pizza night as never expected the kitchen to have a rolling pin, a pizza cutter and pizza stones! We were able to wash and dry dirty clothes easily and collapse into cozy warm beds at night. The owners responded quickly to any questions and responded immediately to a small issue we had with the house. We look forward to going back.

• "The house is huge!"

  A great space for a large family group. The bedrooms are spacious & well equipped, as are the kitchen & bathrooms. Very impressed with the owner’s attention to detail in the house: beautiful furniture & furnishings. Easily room for our 3 big cars in the driveway too. Table tennis tournaments in the conservatory were a daily activity for all! Another great space, with a wonderful view of the trees along the stream by the garden. Sitting out on the decking in the evening with the sound of the stream was so relaxing. We didn’t have the best weather unfortunately, but made the most of exploring the area when we did. Despite COVID-19, we were able to enjoy ourselves out and about. We had one meal out at the Hare & Hounds in Simmondley village, only a short distance from Willow Brook. The service and quality of food were excellent and we were impressed with what they had in place rē Track & Trace, social distancing etc. Other than this one occasion, we cooked in or got a takeaway (which all delivered on time too!). All in all a fabulous week spent in the Peak District. Highly recommend a stay there.

  We were a reduced group due to the pandemic but even if all 12 people had attended' there were several comfortable places around the house where you could find a quiet place to read. The back patio is a suntrap and even in March we were able to enjoy the outdoors for a few hours. The ping pong table was a great hit with everyone. All in all we really enjoyed our stay at the house. Thank you David.
