"Overall this property was great and absolutely perfect for a nice retreat for family’s with dogs."
Great walks and great access to city if you wish to drive. We will definitely return to this property I the future. The only negative I would give the property was the main bed was not comfortable think the mattress is in need of being replaced this however never stopped me having a great stay. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the feedback we will check the mattress out on the next turnround Property Owner

"What a super Cottage!"
We really loved our stay in both Holly and Oak cottages. They are extremely clean, well equipped and comfortable, homely places to stay. Although there are no windows in the upstairs rooms, the Velux blinds work extremely well. Above all, the total peace and quiet was indusive to the best sleep I’ve had in months. Access to beautiful walks literally on the doorstep was a huge bonus. We will be back!

"This is the fourth time that we have stayed in Sawmill Cottages- we love the design of the cottages and the beautiful location."
Perfect for visiting family and friends in the area and for entertaining them!
-
"Lovely cottage and a very quiet area with plenty of walks and things to do nearby."
-
"This was our third stay at this location and once again we were very impressed with the quality of the property and the service provided."
For us, this is the perfect location to visit family and to explore the Peak District. Very happy to recommend.

"Fabulous property in a beautiful setting."
Really enjoyed our stay here whilst waiting for our own proeprty to complete . The cottage was well appointed and felt very comfortable. Added bonus was the lovely private grounds and garden area with personal seating area which we enjoyed most of the day as the garden faces south in Oak Cottage. Some lovely walks straight from the door though the pub was a bit too much for us up a very steep hill if you want to walk. Would definately visit again .

"Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful location."

"Fantastic property in the perfect location for us."
Plenty of walking trails and nearby shops, restaurants and pubs. The property has all you need to ensure a very enjoyable and comfortable stay.

"Our third stay at The Old Sawmill was at Oak Cottage."
Like the other cottages it is cleverly designed to maximise the space and is very clean and comfortable. It is well equipped, down to the boot scraper and brush outside the door. We also appreciate the electrically operated skylights with black out shades. Our hosts kindly left us biscuits, milk and wine. They are responsive if there is a problem but are not intrusive. The local area is beautiful with lovely walks from the doorstep. We will return!

"Very well designed and well presented property."
Great location with everything you would need for a stay away from home
-
"We've had the pleasure of staying in 3 different cottages at The Old Sawmill, which are all of exceptional quality."
Oak Cottage is a really spacious 2-bedroom property, with a view of the garden and the woods beyond, not to mention a great spot for night-time stargazing. All are well-designed & built, beautifully decorated, warm, well equipped, and very clean & comfortable. They are situated in a wonderfully peaceful location, with fantastic walks right from the doorstep. The owners respond quickly and professionally should you have any queries. It's the perfect place in which to unwind and/or enjoy the great outdoors!

"A very comfortable spacious cottage."
Well equipped. Only thing we would have liked more information about recycling and how to operate the electric fire and control for heating. Good internet so we asked Google and managed to get the heating sorted. A lovely peaceful place and central for great days out.
-
"The key safe was particularly difficult to use."
Better lighting over the key safe would help but with elderly, arthritic fingers it was very stressful to access the property. This might seem to be a trivial comment but after a long and tiring journey, we were not impressed to find it so hard to locate the key. Thankfully it was not raining but it was dark and chilly.
-
"What fabulous accommodation - cannot fault it!"
Beautiful cottage, great facilities, well appointed. Owner was beyond helpful! Would definitely stay again!
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oak Cottage and were pleased we chose the larger of the two cottages."
Oak Cottage (indoor and out) and surroundings did not disappoint at all and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise. We would certainly go back for another visit.

"Lovely cottage in a great location"
-
"We enjoyed our break at Oak cottage despite the snow and rain."
The facilities were very good and the cottage was quite stylish however we do not thin this cottage is as dog friendly as advertised for the following reasons : As the dogs were not allowed upstairs to sleep the open plan downstairs was difficult to police. Dogs were not allowed on furniture we were not told to bring a cage to contain the dog and the out side area dogs had to be on a lead the whole time the only thing we found dog friendly was the outside hose and the easy clean flooring. £20 dog fee and a possible £300 housekeeping fine. We would not considered this cottage if we had known the restrictions.

"We enjoyed staying at this lovely property for the 3 nights."
The location is very beautiful and peaceful and in a lovely location. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you
-
"The cottage was amazing, really comfortable and very clean."
Tastefully furnished with everything you need for a perfect holiday. Hope to go back again.
-
"A lovely place to stay."
Cottage was cosy and clean with a nice surprise in the fridge. Thankyou for this kind gesture. No negative comments to say!!!
-
"Stunning property and a credit to the owner."
Fabulously kitted out with evening you'd ever need. We really appreciated the lovely surprise in the fridge. Our only problem was we weren't staying longer!!! Hoping to get back sometime.
-
"Great place, good location, all home comforts, had a brilliant holiday."
-
"A lovely cottage."
Spacious, clean and well equipped. Further out from Bolsterstone village than expected and too far to walk to the pub for an evening drink. Maybe a note to advise on that would be helpful. That said I’d book again in a heartbeat.
-
"Excellent, one of the best holiday cottages I have ever stayed in."
-
"Comfortable cottage, clean and warm in a peaceful and secure location."
We have stayed in many cottages and have always received a warm welcome from the owners, Oak cottage communication was always through Sykes, the owners live on site but made no contact during our stay. Cannot fault the cottage but it lacked the personal touch.
-
"Fabulous cottage in a great secluded location"
-
"Fantastic stay."
Quiet location. Beautiful cottage with everything needed for a perfect stay. Comfortable beds, plenty of seating downstairs and well stocked kitchen. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the break.
-
"Beautiful holiday property in a quiet, peaceful location-just what was needed after Christmas."
-
"We really enjoyed our stay."
The accommodation is lovely, comfortable , stylish and well thought out. We had everything we needed for our stay and we appreciate the Prosecco and biscuits left out for us. The surrounding area is beautiful with the benefit of local walks from the door. All in all an excellent short break.
-
"The cottage was excellent clean modern well looked after would definitely stay there again"
-
"Probably the best place we have stayed in."
-
"Oak Cottage is in a lovely location and has good facilities but there are a couple of things that could make it even better The kitchen has insufficient storage space for groceries and the fridge/freezer is way too small."
The details should make much more of the patio area at the back as this was a great place to sit in the sun etc. We found the beds a bit uncomfortable after a couple of days and the blinds on the velux windows let in too much light so made it difficult to sleep after sunrise. The hot water was very hot and could be a hazard to smaller children albeit ours are teenagers! We also thought the sofas were a bit uncomfortable and took up a lot of space although the lazy boys were nice!
-
"The accommodation was so lovely, welcoming and we had everything there that we needed!"
Beautiful location, fab cottage and would definitely be coming back!
-
"It’s a hidden gem!"
Lovely tranquil setting, beautiful cottage very tastefully decorated.Walks/ cycling routes at the doorstep. Will definitely be returning again.
-
"Exceptional accommodation located in a quiet and peaceful location with easy access to the moors."
-
"Beautiful cottage."
Immaculate and decorated to a very high standard. Very clean and the facilities were great! Lovely grounds and outdoor space, couldn’t of asked for more. A stones throw from a lovely walk around the reservoir. Would 100% recommend.
-
"We had an amazing time at Oak Cottage."
It felt so homely and comfy. We had everything we needed and the location was brilliant! Very close to lots of walks and even some gorgeous walks right on the doorstep! My only feedback would be that the bedrooms are so light as there are no blackout blinds so we woke very early every day!
