"We had a lovely 2 day break at Spring bank cottage."
Hayfield is a sweet village with access to many walking routes. The cottage had everything we needed for the weekend. My only feedback would be is that the house could do with an internal repaint. The loft bedroom has 3 skylights. 2 had black out blinds but the one over the bed did not, waking up at sunrise is not ideal in the summer months. I noticed that feedback was mentioned a couple of years ago and i think it should be addressed. Also I personally would prefer bath towels rather than the small hand towels. With those small adjustments the cottage would have been 5 stars.
Thank you indeed for taking the time to write a review. I’m glad you had a lovely stay, I wanted to take the opportunity to respond to the issues raised. So far as paintwork, during the busy summer months I am afraid that luggage on the stairs and general use mean some knocks and marks appear that can’t always be addressed on turnaround days, but during the quieter winter period these are all dealt with as well repainting where needed. Regarding the blind, and following comments from earlier in the summer, a replacement was ordered but there was a supply problem, the wrong type sent and now we wait for a further replacement. I should note however that the current blind that is in place is fully functional, but simply not the blackout-style which it seems that some prefer. I would also like to clarify that each guest is provided with a standard bath towel (130x70cm) and a hand towel (85x50cm). I hope the issues didn’t detract from your overall enjoyment, and hope that it is appreciated that we strive to provide lovely holiday accommodation at very competitive rates. I am reassured on this from the overwhelming majority of reviews we receive for Spring Bank Cottage. Thank you again for raising these points. Property Owner

"Lovely stay at Springbank, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer house."
It was great to arrive and find all essentials had been catered for. The balcony was great for watching the cricket. The weather was fantastic which made our long weekend. Would definitely book here again.

"The property is extremely well positioned to enjoy all the aspects of the lovely village of Hayfield."
We enjoyed watching the cricket from the balcony. For the more energetic, you can do several walks from the door, ranging from testing to easy. We enjoyed our stay and have already booked again for next year.
Thank you! We are delighted you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to welcoming you back next year. Kind regards, Christine and Neville Property Owner

"It would be helpful if check in could be 4 and check out delayed until 11."
It was a bit of a rush with children.
Many thanks for taking the time to provide this helpful feedback, we have adjusted the check-in timing to 4pm and are always happy to be flexible on arrival and departure times if we can. Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at Spring Bank cottage."
Beautiful view from the sitting room and plenty of space for all of us. House was clean and well equipped. Lots of walking available from the door and well placed for visiting further afield. Hayfield was a lovely village and the pub nearby a bonus. We all said we'd love to come back.
-
"Lovely cottage and facilities."
One of the few we've visited that is properly equipped in all aspects. Lovely outlook over the cricket field and the village is stunning. So nice to see residents respecting their village's appearance. The cafe, Rosie Lee, just a few doors down was excellent. Lovely people.
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide feedback, we are delighted you loved your stay in Spring Bank Cottage and Hayfield village! Property Owner

"Our stay at the cottage couldn't have been better."
It was more spacious than I expected - more like a townhouse disguised as a cottage! Great amenities (we even found a colander eventually!) including games and lego, and everything we needed for the week. Thank you!
Thank you, glad you found the house spacious and had everything you needed. Property Owner

"Really lovely place, had a great stay thank you!"
A lot of space for the kids to explore and play and Hayfield is a lovely village. Will definitely recommend.
Thank you, so glad the house worked for the kids too! Property Owner

"We had a wonderful Christmas at Springbank cottage."
It’s a lovely spacious comfortable cottage with a great homely feel. The beds are very comfortable! Thank you to Christine for all your help making it such a lovely holiday. We would love to come back another time. Great village with friendly pubs and good walks.

"Perfectly positioned cottage for walking."
A lovely comfortable cottage for 8 people & a dog, very homely & had everything. Lovely touch to leave good quality tea, coffee & biscuits. Just one little thing, you do need one extra blackout blind in the top bedroom over the bed.

"Property was very homely."
Had everything you needed and had beautiful views from the main sitting room. A real home from home. Plenty of room for the 7 of us that stayed there. Although the stairs between the levels of the house are very steep. So would be mindful of this if anyone with mobility issues or small children are considering stopping here. The only downside was parking outside of the property. It was quite a busy thin street. But we always managed to get our 2 cars parked within walking distance of the property. There were a few lovely pubs and convenience stores within easy walking distance. The property is a good base for lots of lovely walks. The mattresses were very comfortable and would love to know what kind of mattress is on the bed in the top bedroom. As my sister in law would love to purchase one as she has had the best weeks sleep she's ever had. Although don't leave the velux windows open on a night as the church bells ring through the night. Overall a lovely week

"The cottage was a perfect size for our staycation."
8 of us had plenty of room to be together in the main living room/dining area, as well as having enough room to spread out when we needed to. It was very clean, warm and fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Good location to nearby shops and a lovely view at the rear of the property. We did encounter a problem with the wifi connection but l emailed the owner and her response was quick and apologetic, which was much appreciated. She let us know it was caused by a problem in the area and it was then resolved the next day. I would recommend a stay at the cottage and would definitely stay there again.
Thank you for your feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We’d be very happy to welcome you again. Property Owner

"A lovely house."
Comfortable beds, a good amount of space for everyone. Wonderful views from the windows, beautiful walks from the door. Great communication from the owner. We will definitely come again as it was perfect for our needs. I would tell others that the stairs are quite steep and an old dog/ less able person might struggle. Our 9 year old dog did limit his visits to the basement garden because of this. Also the garden would not have been secure for a more adventurous/able dog than ours!

"Fabulous location looking out over the cricket pitch and close to the lovely village play area which includes a skate park and pump track, as well as swings and equipment for both toddlers and older children."
Our children were small when we first stayed here but still like to join us when we stay even though they are now grown up. Wonderful walking in beautiful and varied scenery. Bridleways for mountain biking too if you're good on rocky tracks! The house has everything you need for a family holiday. Comfy beds, good hot showers, big utility area for sorting wet/muddy gear. Well equipped kitchen for full self catering. Toys, games and books. Good cafes and pubs in walking distance, well stocked village stores but also supermarkets a short drive away.

"We found Spring Bank Cottage a lovely, spacious place to stay with a high standard of facilities, comfort and pleasant decor."
Positioned in a quiet street in the lovely village of Hayfield with a delightful view over the village cricket ground, it’s positioned ideally, close to the major sights of the Peak District.

"We had a wonderful stay at Spring Bank Cottage in November 2021 - which coincided with a storm and snow!"
The heating was great and the house was cosy - we were not cold despite the frigid temperatures outside, and the living space was perfect for 5 adults. Plenty of space for walking boots in the hallway, and the 2 bathrooms had plenty of hot water for showers after freezing hikes in the hills. We didn't use the room on the lower ground floor, but can see how that would be wonderful in the summer or if you have kids. The parking wasn't a problem - we had 2 cars and always found a space on the road, even if it wasn't right outside the doors. We'd definitely book again for a friend's hiking trip. It was the perfect location.

"Great house, great location, lots of places to eat within walking distance."
Lots of wonderful walks in beautiful countryside.

"Lovely cottage in a fabulous village, ideal spot to spend a long weekend with ..."
Lovely cottage in a fabulous village, ideal spot to spend a long weekend with friends Spring Bank has plenty of space not to be on top of each other A few finishing touches do need to be considered however they do not detract from a nice place to stay

"The tv aerial has blown over , so no bbc , the oven was very poor , didn’t heat up probably, so made it difficult cooking ."
It was suppose to have a deep clean but there was dust on lamp shades , the stairs were really dusty and dirty leading to top bedroom , and cobwebs in bedroom. The hairdryer was missing form master bedroom But was a lovely location, beautiful garden we really enjoyed ourselves
We're delighted you really enjoyed your stay, and thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Pending a more thorough investigation of the TV reception, it has been re-tuned and is now receiving BBC. The oven is checked regularly, but may be different from the one you have at home. We'll look into these points, most especially the dust on the lampshades and staircase which should not have been there. Property Owner

"What a lovely cottage in a perfect location with fabulous views across the cricket pitch then look onto the glorious hills."
Cottage very spacious and clean throughout and everything is there what you need. Lots of lovely walks right on the doorstep. Will definitely go again ☺️
-
"The cottage was very nicely presented."
The children especially loved playing in the downstairs basement room that opened out into the garden. The village is very picturesque with a stream running through and plenty of hungry ducks to feed and there's a good children's playground within easy walking distance. We had some nice days out and some of our group had a good walk up Kinder Scout. We found that the area catered for children and adults and the cottage had plenty of space for ourselves, and our son's family. A perfect family get- together
-
"Well equipped cottage in village with lots of facilities."
Lovely to sit on the balcony or garden and watch the cricket. Appreciated the toys, books and generous provision of cleaning materials etc. One warning, as there are four floors there are three quite steep staircases - we didn’t feel it safe to let the 2-year old go up and down on her own. One stair gate is provided and we took another, so managed ok, but do bear this in mind if you have more young children than adults
-
"The cottage is in a great location."
There are lots of lovely walks you can do direct from the front door, including to Kinder Scout and Reservoir. It's also a good base for other walks in the area, including to Mam Tor and Castleton and cycling around Derwent Water. Hayfield is a great base - some lovely pubs, a butcher, post office and a fish and ship shop! All you need on your doorstep. The house itself is within easy walking distancce of the all the above. It overlooks the village cricket ground at the back, which provides an additional sense of space. It is nicely furbished with all modcons. The owners were very helpful. We visited in April. We'd highly recommend it.

"We loved our stay at Spring Bank Cottage and can't wait to return."
The house was perfect for us - we explored the local hills, enjoyed pottering about the village and having a cuppa on the balcony. The house is huge but also warm and cosy. Christine was a delight - we kept in touch on text and she helped us out with our check out which was really appreciated. Her house is spotless and everything was just right, we could have stayed for a month! Thanks again!

"Despite situated in the country, all facilities needed were on hand."
-
"Cottage used as a base for 3 cycling nuts, they thoroughly enjoyed the challenging routes on the doorstep."
The rest of the party chilled, watched the cricket and soaked up the atmosphere of a very nice village. There is a brilliant pub less than five minutes walk away so I didn't even have to cook! We were given the wrong key code to the safe, but this was very easily and quickly sorted out so it was not really a problem. Overall, it was a perfect break for a stressed out family and we will definitely look to book again next year.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Spring Bank Cottage."
The house is clean, cosy and well equipped with excellent views of nearby hills. Hayfield is an excellent base for walking in the area with good cafes and pubs in easy walking distance. We would defintely recommend both!

About the location
HAYFIELD
Chapel-en-le-Frith 4 miles; Glossop 5 miles; Buxton 8 miles.
The delightful High Peak village of Hayfield is situated in a wonderful rural setting on the north western edge of the Peak National Park. It’s a peaceful little village, popular with walkers who are attracted by its close proximity to Kinder Scout. Serious walkers head east out of the village, up and over the green foothills to the russet expanse of the Kinder Plateau, Pennine Way and Snake Path, whilst families (and those who enjoy more gentle rambles) head west along the beautiful Sett Valley Trail towards New Mills. Edale – an alternative start of the Pennine Way - is only a few miles away. The village caters well for tourists with pubs, cafes and restaurants. Other local attractions include the Goyt Valley, Castleton – with its famous caverns - and the popular spa town of Buxton.
