Magdala

Magdala was a great place to stay on our trip to the peak district.

It was clean, warm and comfortable and the book they have with all the information you could need was super helpful. We appreciated the bread, milk and biscuits that were left for us on our arrival. There was even a little basket by the front door with cloths so that we could wipe the dogs paws as we came in from walks. We had a really lovely stay and would definitely book to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay here at Magdala!

We had everything and more and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

It's a really lovely place to stay.

It's nice and warm and clean. The hosts go above and beyond to provide everything you might need upon arrival. The front door is a little stiff, but it just takes some getting used to. We would definitely stay again.

A lovely little cottage.

Very clean and well equipped. Well situated for trips into the Peak District. Back garden very secure and handy for dogs.

Magdala is a lovely, spotlessly clean cottage and situated in a good position for all our walks within a 10 mile radius We had a good weeks weather and it was wonderful to sit in the garden in the evening.

Everything needed for a self catering holiday was provided in the cottage Joan very kindly left us bread, milk and biscuits so thank you for that We especially likes the good size freezer and we’re able to freeze our large amount of blackberries picked on our walks! The only downside was the hit and miss mobile reception and the free view TV reception although we were able to get BBC I player for news on the smart section Al in all a good place to stay

Absolutely ideal location for us.

We have family in Buxton and it was only a 3 mile drive from there. Lovely surroundings and a short drive to a nice little pub. The cottage has everything you would need and more! Lovely little welcome hamper with essentials and the Air fryer was great for a quick breakfast before a day of adventures. The cottage was clean and well maintained with a lovely little garden to sit out in on an evening. We come to the area at least a couple of times a year and would absolutely be staying here again. Only one problem - the mattresses were very, very uncomfortable

Our second visit.

This is perfect for us everything catered for . Thoroughly recommended. Hope to stay again

From the moment we walked in we felt at home!

Such a lovely space. I feel that everything was taken into consideration- especially for us dog owners! Lots of lovely thoughts and details- a little condiment cupboard (we forgot pepper!) Welcome note and bread and milk was lovely. Air fryer!! Top gadget! Very welcomed! We also liked that all cleaning tools were provided. I do not like to leave a trace and We like to clean up after ourselves so having mop/brush/ vac was great. The wall maps were superb- would like to buy one! Great base for our walking holiday in the Peak District I would absolutely come back to Magdala!

We received a lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated.

Thank you. But we were very disappointed with the description of this property by Sykes Freight trains running all night along with noises from the local quarry. Unable to have the windows open at night due to the noise. Not the relaxing country retreat I needed. Dog friendly property but no local walks. No phone signal in the house I’m with O2. Owners aware of some property issues and say they will repair when able.

Roomy and comfortable, well equipped with a good enclosed garden for dogs

Overall enjoyed my stay

Apart from a bit of floor maintenance in kitchen and better door locks perfectly fine and comfortable

Very well equipped cottage, clean and comfortable.

Kitchen and bathroom are very old, but certainly useable and fully functional. We would definitely use again when in the area visiting relatives. One note to property owner, we couldn't get the gas fired log burner to work, there was a small metal piece on the floor next to it that may have been part of it?? We turned the gas off at the valve behind it.

Bathroom has had a quick refresh but needs a more thorough update.

The loo seat is a bit flimsy and won't survive a season! House is lovely and warm. All new equipment although we didn't use the washer or dishwasher. The railway / quarry workings were a bit noisier than anticipated. Window open on a warm night in the summer might be less than ideal.

A wonderful find.

The cottage is cosy and comfortable. Everything provided cannot find fault with anything. Recommended and we hope to book again in the future.

Very nice little cottage.

Clean, cosy and tidy.

We stayed 3 night in Magdala last week.

We received realy nice welcome note, fresh bread, milk, eggs, tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh beautiful flowers.Thank you very much. The cottage was bigger than we axpected, very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped and good quality kitchen essentials. Great eco cleaning products, tea towels....really everything what you need to prepare meals. Little garden with a grill and pizza stone ready to use, only bring your charcoal, all needed utensils provided. The bathroom isn't modern but everything worked well. Additional towel rack would help to dry the towels, There was only 2 things to improve and make our stay perfect: better quality of bath towels, which were smaller and didn't absorb the water well and to provide a hair dryer. However the owner promised to get one for the next guests. I would come back to stay in the cottage because it is in a central location for hiking and exploring The Peak District, very quiet, relaxing area and we slept well.

This is a lovely cute good sized cottage with a wonderful little cottage garden.

We found it a good base to explore from and come back to. Every where we went was within half an hour or less by car such as Chatsworth House, Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton, Pavilion gardens, Solomons Temple…all dog friendly with great parks and walks to explore. We found we slept really well (no problem with the trains) The neighbours were great especially when we had a storm and a power cut. The owners also were at the end of the phone for any problems.

What a lovely place!

!! I went with a friend and our two spaniels and we absolutely loved it! It was perfectly located for all the walks we wanted to do, well equipped, clean, cozy. Several thoughtful touches as well such as dog bowls, a crate, and bread/milk on arrival. Don’t be put off by the proximity to the train tracks, we hardly noticed. And the neighbours are lovely as well.

Lovely little cottage with everything we needed for our brief New Year's stay.

Very close to lots of great walks, restaurants, and shops. Owners prepared a lovely note for us with milk and bread. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Good location for the southern area of The Peak District.

The cement works could have been off putting but did not encroach at all. The shunting of the trains could be a little noisy but only if you were already awake. Magdala itself was cosy and quirky with a lovely history. The owners made sure that the property was well kitted out and made you feel very welcome.

We love this Peter Rabit house (my daughter name this house).

House was nice and clean. A lot of space for our 2 kids. Thank you so much

Great holiday cottage Well presented think the owners have done a great job.
