Top House

Top House was a great base for our week in the Peak District.

The house was well equipped, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Tideswell has a good choice of pubs & restaurants, and the house is close to the co-op and a delicious bakery. Top House is close to the church bells that ring every 15 minutes, 24/7 - they add to the atmosphere of the village but take some getting used to. We would happily stay here again.

Hosts were great.

The accommodation was lovely. The only issues we had was the steepness of the stairs some of our group struggled with that. I appreciate it needs to accommodate all abilities. I would recommend to others but not for this group.

We loved staying at this cottage and can't recommend the cottage and the hosts highly enough.

It's bang in the town centre, Co-op and a few other shops are less than a minute's walk away, so you're never caught out if you forget something. The place itself is spotless, well looked after, and has real character, old architecture but every mod con you'd want. Laura had left us a bottle of rosé and some muffins when we arrived, a small thing but it made a difference. She was only ever a message away too, though honestly the cottage has everything sorted so we barely needed her beyond a hello and goodbye. Tideswell itself is perfectly placed for getting out into the Peak District, walking or sightseeing, everything's within easy reach. Can't wait to stay again.

We loved everything about our stay at Top House, which we used as a base for visiting family in Sheffield.

Our youngest daughter (13) declared it was her dream house and wanted to live there. The house was well equipped and beautifully clean, with great communication from Dan and Laura. A welcome bottle of wine and muffins was a lovely surprise. I’d been a bit worried about parking, but we always managed to find somewhere close to the house. Everyone we met in ‘Tidsa’ was incredibly welcoming and friendly - the village has a lovely atmosphere and we’d love to stay again… If you’re a light sleeper the church bells sounding the time through the night might be a problem (my girls whinged about them a bit), but I found the oddly comforting. Thank you to Dan and Laura for a lovely stay

We all had such a brilliant stay at Top House.

Dan was super helpful and always available to answer questions etc. The location was perfect and everything inside the house was of a high standard and thoughtfully laid out. Would recommend, and happily visit again. 10/10

We had such a lovely weekend at Top House - the location was perfect - and we thought that Tideswell was the best village around.

It was a great location for exploring the peaks - the house and kitchen were well supplied. We arrived a bit early and Laura met us at the house, Dan brought us logs on the first night. Can highly recommend Elliotts Fish & Chips - perfect after a day of walking! Thanks so much, would love to visit again :)

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at your property, the location is truly stunning.

The cottage was very well equipped, comfortable, accessible and contained everything we needed to enjoy the week away for our wedding in Tideswell village. A huge thank you for the welcome gifts, very much appreciated. We will most definitely be returning for our annual anniversary. Highly recommend this cottage.

Great location being next to the Cathedral.

Top bedroom is very impressive. All facilities you could need, we found the log burner very easy to light.

Top House was a very comfortable and homely holiday home.

It was convenient to the shops and quietly situated. We even enjoyed the quarterly striking of the church clock next door and didn't find it disturbed our sleep or impacted our enjoyment of the property. We enjoyed the coffee shop and the bookshop and had a great meal at the Italian restaurant. Tideswell is well connected and some of our party could easily reach Peaks and walks, especially enjoying the Monsal Trail on the disused railway line which meant flat walking opportunities. We hope to return.

An excellent property that had everything we required.

Communication throughout was first class and we are already planning our next visit.

A very conveniently located property in the heart of Tideswell.

A very well equipped kitchen and comfortable and spacious bedrooms with very good bathrooms and showers. Obviously quite narrow staircase over two floors would make it tricky for elderly or very young. Great place, would recommend.

The stay was lovely, the house was welcoming and the hosts were more than willing to cater to any requests and information requests.

Superb.

The cottage was very comfortable and very well equipped.

It was in a very central location .

We've stayed at Top House a couple of times and it never disappoints.

The location is very convenient and the house is very well set out and very well equipped.

Lovely stone cottage, well located but earplugs needed for the church if you’re a light sleeper!

Well equipped kitchen with everything you need. Only two downsides for us was no shower gel in the shower, this would be a nice touch and the towels which were small, thin and tired. New fluffy towels would just give that luxurious feel.

The location of the property is perfect.

The house was spotlessly clean and Dan was very helpful and kept up a constant supply of wood for the fire. We hope to return in spring with (hopefully) slightly less rain to accompany our stay.

Lovely, cosy, well equipped cottage in a pretty village, with friendly and responsive hosts.

Spot on. Big recommend.

we had a wonderful stay.

.it’s well located and some lovely walks from the village the house was perfect for us and our dogs stone floors and stair gates log burning stove which is very cosy in the evening kitchen had everything you need & well thought out ..no garden for the dogs but straight out the door and the church yard is there and paths to lanes for a quick morning / evening walk a choice of pubs and restaurants in the village and a shop just minutes away from the house. Our host were very helpful and we will definitely be going back to stay here

I booked Top House for a weekend for a get together with 3 friends and it was the most perfect place to stay.

Our plan was to have a base from which to do some walks but it was so much more than that! The house is stunning, easy to find and the location is perfect. We enjoyed the local pubs, the fish and chips and had a wonderful day out on the Monsal Trail and the Chee Dale Stepping Stones. Overall a perfect weekend thanks to Top House! The muffins and the wine were also a very welcomed special touch! Thank you!

The property was immaculately clean.

It would be fine for 6 people out all day and eating in the excellent local pubs, Italian or fish shop. BUT there was not enough room downstairs for a family of 6 cooking and eating in (and no draining board!). It was a contrast: the cottage retained lots of lovely original features: floor boards in the bedrooms and stone floor on living room but the provided towels were thin and scratchy. We expected to find something personal like 'walks from Tideswell' 'local things to do' rather than commercial info.

Beautiful location - fabulous for walks and exploring the Peak District.

Local bakery and chippy very good. Loved the cottage. Comfortable and everything we needed it to be. Loved the church bells and the gentle rhythm of country life - would definitely return.

Delightful property.

Spotlessly clean and all facilities excellent. We appreciated the welcome muffins and bottle of wine. Parking was 50 m away wherever space could be found on the roadside, but we were able to unload outside the kitchen door. Two of the group were very aware of the church clock across the road, which does chime every quarter of the hour day and night, the rest of us didn't mind. Tideswell was a lovely village with shops, pubs and restaurants, and perfectly situated to explore the central Peak District.

Central location in the village, quiet except when bell ringing practice at the church opposite but all added to the experience!

Greeted personally by the owner so he showed us round. The house was warm and well equipped, the bedrooms in particular were spacious. Many beauty spots and walks nearby, good food pubs and a local store meant didn’t need to drive much at all during our stay.

Brilliant house that we found better than the photographs.

Lovely and warm - we did think it would be cold as the heating might struggle to heat the stone house in the middle of winter but we were very wrong! There is a step between kitchen and living room and we had one accident of little one falling and hitting their head on the stone floor, so it's not totally baby friendly but that can't really be helped. The owners were lovely, super responsive and left us a bottle of wine and little treats which was really sweet of them. Logs for the fire were provided. 100% recommend this cottage and would happily return.
