• "We stayed over New year, 6 adults and 3 children."

  Was a perfect 3 day getaway! Lovely little village and the pub does delicious food which we had after a nice snowy walk. The house was great, the log fire made it feel very cosy and warm. Although the living room cannot seat all 9 people, there is an extra snug room with a tv but we spent most of our time gathered around the kitchen table. New Year’s Day we cooked a full gammon and beef dinner, plenty of plates, cutlery and utensils and the table for all 9 of us comfortably. The games room is a bit cold but we didn’t really use it anyway so just kept the door closed and the utility room came in very handy for muddy boots/coats and to store extra food and drinks. The owner met us on arrival to give us a quick brief and left her number but we never needed to use it. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back in the future.

  Thank you for your positive feedback, pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

• "This is difficult as I have no wish to be unkind and it may be that we are just used to better and we did book fairly late thus limited on choice."

  The house is advertised for 9 persons but it does not really provide for 9 persons particularly at Christmas when much time is spent with family in the house.. The lounge is very small and only has six chairs and even then is squashed up. The dining table sits only 6 persons. The owner did put 9 miscellaneous chairs around the table as I had called her expressing concern but there was no way there was room for everyones' legs or arms with even 7 let alone 9. The large bedroom looked something like a dormatory when the beds were set up to accommodate the 9. We had to cancel 2 of our guests reducing our number to 7. The oven was too small to cook for 9 - all it would accommodate was the turkey and the fridge was again too small to accommodate 9 persons (again may be had it not been Christmas it would have been different). The games room was freezing cold and in need of carpet rather than the bits of carpet placed on the floor. We used it as a fridge. We had to ask the late comers of our family to bring a huge cool box to use as a fridge and also a BBQ oven to allow us to cook Christmas dinner. Again this may only impact at Christmas. The house generally is in need of some tlc and brightening up. I dont want to go on. In a usual world may be none of this would have mattered but at Christmas when you expect all to be together and expect a little bit of luxury it did impact on us I am afraid. I dont want to be unkind and stress that may be it is just that it was not what we have been used to. Price wise it is far too expensive for the accommodation offered. I am using comparisons with the Christmas houses we have stayed in for the last 10 years. On the positive side the location is great for walkers and the village quiet. The parking was no issue as well. The local pub is lovely too and the owners are close on hand if you did need anything and are happy to help. We did make it work and had a lovely time.

  We are sorry that this property did not live up to your expectation over Christmas, but pleased you enjoyed the location,village, and overall “had a lovely time.” This house has been in the family for 20 years running as a holiday let and has had many satisfied visitors leaving good reviews. The comments have been taken on board, and are sorry that the cooking & fridge, facilities which are of a standard size, deemed inadequate for a larger than usual Christmas meal which only happens once a year. The pictures on the website illustrate the rooms and facilities available. We had relocated an armchair to the second lounge to accommodate a good sized Christmas tree at the side of the log burner. The letting agents decide the appropriate number of people to stay in this property, and worked out the pricing. The house is warm and cosy, and we are always on hand if anything is needed and happy to help. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely qeek at Orchard View."

  It was in such a beautiful place and so quiet. The pub amd park was a 2 minute walk and the fields for the dogs was just outside the back door. There was plenty of space for us and there was 9 of us and 2 dogs. We would defiantly return.

• "We had a lovely stay in this beautiful village."

  The cottage is really lovely and beautiful to look at made of natural Derbyshire stone, it's full of character too. We didn't sleep particularly well as none of the beds were comfortable, the mattresses are very thin and flimsy which was a little disappointing as for the price point we would have liked a more luxurious feel to the bedrooms. The property feels a little 'tired' and we felt that everything was very much done on a budget (ie. cheap bedding, cheap towels, cheap furnishings etc). However, the kitchen was very well appointed with plenty of glasses and plates etc. For the price-point, we all felt it should have been more comfortable upstairs. We also had to buy dish cloths, kitchen rolls, loo rolls, bin bags and dishwasher tablets which was an irritation. That being said, it really is a pretty cottage and apart from not sleeping well we did have a nice holiday.

• "We had a family break at Orchard View with our parents who are retired and we all thought the house and garden were perfect for a stay in the Peak District."

  A beautiful house in a gorgeous village. The garden had stunning views over the fields, the house was so well appointed, everything was in the cupboards that you could need re crockery, glasses etc. villagers really friendly too. A meal out at the sycamore inn (3 mins walk) is a must. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

  Thank you very much for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
