• "As advertised."

  Excellent location. Good, comfortable accommodation. Well equipped. We appreciated the welcoming phone call along with wine and biscuits. Soap in bathrooms was helpful. The book detailing local area is very well written with a personal feel. Happy to stay again and to recommend this property.

  Thanks Paul! It was lovely to have you stay in Buxton and we're really pleased you had a great holiday in the Peak District. We're glad you found the guidebook helpful and hopefully you were able to pick out some nice restaurants, bars and things to do. We're in a great location! Property Owner

• "It has the potential to be a lovely property."

  However, it is, or rather was filthy and it needs some basic maintenance and removal of mould. The bathroom floors are grey from dirt (not stained as we were able to clean parts of it and it turned our white socks to black). The kitchen smelled of grease - much better after we cleaned the yellow grease off the cupboards near the hob. The rusty fridge freezer smelled. We cleaned out the fridge including the food debris - it came up a different colour. The fridge drain is blocked-presumably the main cause of the smell. We cleaned out the top freezer drawer and the seal of the freezer removing food debris, a grey coating and seeds of some sort, perhaps melon. We removed the drinking water reservoir from the fridge only to find some part of it slimy and inside the lid black with mould. We didn't use it. We opened the dishwasher to be met by a foul smell. We cleaned the filter out and the smell soon went. We opened the cupboard doors to find food on plates and a broken plate. We put all the plates, cups and glasses through the dishwasher. We found many of the drawer handles to be sticky until we wiped them clean. We opened the cutlery drawer to find food crumbs in the drawer. We put all the cutlery through the dishwasher and washed out the tray. We found crumbs under the table and on one of the benches, which we cleaned. We found bits of tissue paper and cardboard on the bedroom floor. we picked them up and vacuumed - it looked much better. We then vacuumed the rest of the property - and almost filled the vacuum drum. We found cobwebs in every corner of the downstairs bedroom, so we dusted them. We found a plastic wrapper on the floor. We found plastic tags in the main bedroom. We found dog hair on the fabric sofa and so we vacuumed it. My son opened the drawer in the master bedroom chest of drawers to find it fell out onto his foot as the plastic stopper is broken. It then revealed mould on the back of the drawer and a clothes label inside the drawer. 90 minutes later, we felt able to unpack. I contacted the owner, the next day and she offered us a bottle of wine as compensation, which I understandably refused. Consider this our complaint. Please do respond.

  Thanks for visiting Buxton and we're disappointed that you say you didn't have a nice stay. We pour our hearts and souls into our cottage and take all reviews, good or bad, very seriously. We get in touch with all guests as they arrive to make sure they know we're on hand to any issues big or small and, as we made clear, we were keen to put right anything that was raised. It is a shame that we didn't get the chance to do this but we're glad that you could stay to enjoy the house and Buxton for so long regardless. We're grateful that we've welcomed hundreds of really happy guests to a lovely, clean and homely property that is in a brilliant location. Property Owner

• "A great base to stay."

  Liked the decor and amount of space we had for the kids to chill out. Some of the family said they would have liked a tv in each bedroom, and more towels. The downstairs bedroom was a little musty (lack of ventilation?). We had no issues with the roadworks at all, we didn’t experience any noise.

  Thanks for visiting Buxton. The Coach House is a great base for exploring the Peak District and is close to loads of the area's highlights. We're glad that the kids had fun and had plenty of space for everyone to relax. Thanks for your review and we'll certainly take your points on board. Property Owner

• "Location was excellent for a variety of restaurants."

  The cottage itself could do with a little tlc for example: the paintwork was a little tatty, one chair in the kitchen had a broken leg and was cellotaped back together and the mattress in the second up stairs bedroom was also broken, the mattress was caved in on one side and was literally touching the bed frame itself. For this reason two of our group had to sleep in the campervan which we had luckily taken with us.

  Thanks for visiting Buxton. There are certainly lots of quality restaurants and bars in the town and it's great to see them doing so well at the moment. We'd missed a broken spindle on a kitchen chair but thankfully it was still secure and we have now put new chairs in place. The mattress was almost new so, although it was still comfortable when we tested it, we appreciate it had slightly more give than we would have expected. They are high quality hotel standard and still under warranty so we would have tried to get a replacement sorted as quickly as possible if you'd let us know when we got in touch to make sure everything was ok. We really appreciate it when guests let us know about any issues so we can address them. We had new mattresses arrive immediately and they're excellent. We love our cottage and the photos taken recently by Sykes show the care and attention we give to its decoration. Property Owner

• "The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped but lacks any garden and the only outside space is the car park."

  The sign for the pub is incorrect and misleading. In fact the pub no longer exists and the pub within 0.2 miles is closed. The property is situated close to the extremely busy A6 and there are current road works within 50 yards, very noisy Mon to Fri, 8.00am to 6.00 pm.

  Thank you for your review. We're pleased you found the cottage clean and comfortable. Buxton is well blessed with pubs. The 19th Hole is 200m from the Coach House and there are another two within half-a-mile. They all have good reviews. The sign by the Coach House is because the property used to be part of the Devonshire Arms! We hope that didn't cause any confusion. There is seating at the front of the Coach House and ample parking for two vehicles behind the house should you wish to make the most of the sunshine. The new roundabout about 100m away won't be visible from the Coach House, especially as more trees are planted on the common. Unfortunately the roadworks are out of our control but thankfully they haven't caused too much disruption. Property Owner

• "Excellent property in a great location."

  Everything was provided in the house and you really couldn't ask for more. Close to Buxton which has the normal high street shops as well as different and quirky shops. We were a little disappointed as we hoped to be able to walk to Buxton from the house but the hill proved too much of a challenge for the older members of our party. But this a minor point and did not impact our holiday at all. Q

  Thank you! There are some great independent shops and cafes in Buxton and it's good to see them thriving. Hopefully see you again. Property Owner

• "The property has no privacy whatsoever."

  Overlooked on all sides as people pass within a foot or so of lounge and downstairs bedroom windows. Impossible to enjoy a glass of wine sitting outside and looking over the golf course - no seating and a constant stream of traffic (Inc heavy lorries) on the A6 which passes 50 yards away, obstructing the view. Kitchen equipped sparingly - tired pans and cooking trays, lack of basics like scissors. Not a house for the peace & quiet and solitude one expects from a country cottage. I will be emailing you separately with a couple of photos.

  Thank you for your feedback though we were surprised and disappointed to hear of your dissatisfaction. We pride ourselves on our excellent standards which is reflected in our usually excellent feedback. It is a shame that you did not express your concerns when we saw you during your stay as we would have been happy to try and resolve any problems for you. The location of the property has been highlighted as an excellent base to explore Buxton and the wider Peak District so this may not have suited your needs if you were seeking a property that provided solitude. Since reading your comments we have checked the kitchen equipment and are happy that we provide all the utensils a guest could need in a self catering holiday home. Property Owner

  The property was spotless, the rooms spacious and beautifully decorated, it was absolutely perfect for the three of us and our little dog. The owner Hayley very thoughtfully left a welcome basket and a few essentials in the kitchen. The cottage had an excellent parking area which is always a relief when you don't have to worry about parking. The location was ideal for either walking down into Buxton visiting the shopping areas, cafes, restaurants, or just a little further the Buxton pavilion. A short 10 min drive took us to Pooley Cavern to see the very interesting caves and take our dog around the extensive grounds and a 30 drive took us to Bakewell to the beautiful Chatsworth House (stately home) - well worth a visit, even if you only go to see the vast gardens and features. Overall this was a wonderful break for us and we hope to return there again soon.
