“Lovely and clean accommodation in a quiet corner of Castleton.”

Exceptionally well equipped with high quality furnishings and fittings. Castleton is struggling with Covid restrictions and not all of the 8 pubs serve meals every day, due to shortage of chefs!! The shops and cafes also have strange opening hours, but I'm sure once restrictions are lifted, the village will return to normal working.

If you are walkers, there are countless footpaths across the hills. If you are sightseers like us, there is lots to see and do within 20 miles of the venue.

“It would have been helpful if the owner had left instructions for the hot water and heating and there had been a shower curtain or screen for the bath as there was never enough hot water to have a bath.”

Otherwise it was a lovely place to stay and we would definitely like to come back

“The Old Workshop was an extremely pleasant stay.”

Castleton is a fantastic village, and The Old Workshop couldn't be better placed right under Peveril Castle! Absolute beaut spot, and was perfect base for exploring the Peaks. If the villa next door is also occupied then parking can be a bit tricky especially with larger vehicles, but the Bulls Head is 90 seconds walk, so not too many issues there. The set up is interestingly planned out with bedrooms on the ground and living/kitchen upstairs. The cottage is modern and recently been done up, has all the amenities you need and is a great space to relax after a long day exploring. Only thing missing is a fire, but the Hive heating system was really quick and fast acting. Would deffo come back.

“Parking is very tight.”

Anyone with a large family car would probably struggle to get past any car parked at the adjoining cottage. A dishwasher would be very beneficial. NN141GJ

“Very well cleaned property.”

Extremely comfortable and homely. Everything I needed in the kitchen. Very relaxing beds with good bathroom facilities. Perfect location for daily walking.

Mrs Mellor July 2020

“The Old Workshop was immaculate, making us feel very safe in an uncertain time.”

The upside down living worked very well, meaning a light and airy daytime space and cosy bedrooms. The hosts had left lots of cleaning products for us to use, adding to our sense of security, and also left a range of fresh produce - milk, bread, eggs, tea and coffee which made us feel at home immediately.

“We have stayed at The Old Workshop before so we knew what to expect.”

Highly recommended as is the next door Laburnum Cottage owned by the same people. Both are very spacious and comfortable. Central location in the beautiful village of Castleton and easy access to all the surrounding area has to offer. I am sure we will be revisiting again in the not too distant future.

Mrs Wilkinson February 2020

“The cottage was in the centre of the village close to all amenities.”

It was very well presented with a good size kitchen containing everything you would need if cooking! The lounge was large and comfortable and the two bedrooms were of a good size, each with an ensuite. We were left a welcome basket containing milk, butter, eggs and bread which was a lovely touch. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

Mrs Gill February 2020

“The Old Workshop is a fantastic cottage!”

We could not fault it. So clean and tidy with everything you need. The 'upside down' set up is wonderful as the living room and kitchen are bright and airy and the bedrooms cosy. Location and parking perfect. Definitely be back.

Mr Marshall January 2020

“We all really enjoyed it and loved everything about the attention to detail.”

We will definitely be returning

“Great location and lovely cottage.”

Very helpful owners. Spacious rooms. Only small issue was the hot water for shower and bath was lukewarm. Other than that a great stay

Mrs Rastall November 2019

“Was a lovely cottage ,very clean, and the lady who saw us at the Bull pub when we first arrived was very helpful.”

Welcome pack was very much appreciated. Only draw back was the large deep bath which was a job getting in and out. Would recommend cottage and hopefully will be back..

- Mrs Rastall, November 2019
Mrs Gobbitt October 2019

“The cottage was everything we were hoping for, it was cozy and warm and very very clean.”

The beds were very comfortable and the little extras were very much appreciated (milk, butter, coffee, tea and biscuits). Everything seemed to have been thought of and we loved our stay. The location was superb and Castleton is a lovely village. Communication with the owner was very easy and efficient. I would recommend this property to anyone.

- Mrs Gobbitt, October 2019
Mr Barron October 2019

“The cottage was very comfortable and very well equipped.”

Right in the centre of the village, it is ideally situated. Minutes from local shops and pubs. We would highly recommend it and would use it again if staying in the area.

Mrs Hawkins June 2019

“Fantastic cottage in a gorgeous village.”

Spotlessly clean. Comfy bed in main room. Didn’t use smaller bed but that felt nice and firm. Amazing bath that I didn’t want to get out of. Well equipped huge kitchen although a pair of oven gloves would have been useful. No sign of the dishwasher that’s advertised but we never use on so for us it wasn’t an issue.

- Mrs Hawkins, June 2019
Mr Wright June 2019

“Very nice spacious quiet cottage in fantastic location for exploring Castleton and the Peak District.”

We will defiantly be returning to the old workshop.
