"The house was excellent and very well kitted out except the towels were very small (and none of us are large people)."
We’d expect bath sheets in a house of this standard. There’s nothing you can do about the roof but the sound of heavy rain kept us all awake one night. The pillows in the main bedroom were rock hard. I don’t know about the other bedrooms. These issues apart, it’s a fabulous rental and we were very happy. Thank you.
Hi Roberta, Thanks for your feedback on your stay with us! We’re glad to hear you had a good time and enjoyed the house. We will look to adjust our towels and update the itinerary to include bath sheets, which is a great suggestion. We hope to host you again in the future. Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Oakwood house was a wonderful property for my family to enjoy a special birthday celebration."
The house is immaculate and all the fittings and furnishings are of a very high standard. We loved the open plan living area to be together for meals and plenty of space to relax. All appreciated the lovely bedrooms , comfortable beds and luxurious bathrooms ! The views are wonderful from the house too ! We highly recommend The Gate Inn for Sunday lunch ! Hopefully we will be back again for another family get together as it was perfect !
Hi Sheila, Thanks for your feedback on your stay! We are glad to hear you had a great time with the family!

This Sunday roasts at the gate and are the best around, glad you got to have one, Hope to host you and the family again in the future Oakwood team Property Owner

"A fantastic holiday let for large family groups or groups of friends."
Location is great for access to all the local sites & amenities for both young & old. A good base from which to explore the Peak District, beautiful views, and easy access to local walks.
Hi Simon, We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and explored the surrounding areas. We hope to host you again! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Such a lovely house, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, views were amazing."
Would definitely recommend to one and all. If I could point out a couple of minor things, the main oven may have been mistakenly over looked as it could do with a clean, also more detailed instructions on turning up heating as we could not turn it up and downstairs bedrooms were cold. Would we stay again? Absolutely, in-fact already booked for next year.
Hi Trish, Thanks for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We will take a look at the oven and look to update the heating information. We have refreshed the smart home connection and controls. We can see your next booking and looking forward to welcoming you back! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Great property, everything you could ask for was on hand for the 10 family members we had."
You should highlight the great view from the lounge and 2 front facing upper bedrooms. We have already booked for a week next year.
Hi Jonathan We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Thanks for your excellent review. We are looking to hosting you again next year. Please let us know if you need anything for your stay! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Great property but only fault is the garden being listed as fully enclosed when there isn’t any side gate to keep dogs secure in garden."
Hi Carl, Glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for the feedback. We recognise the need for pet owners and people with children. We are just in the process of having a gate made and had some delays over summer. Hope to host you again. Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Ideal property for multi family get together."
Great outdoor and indoor space. All the facilities you need and board games and smart tvs also a bonus.
Hi Gail, Thanks for your feedback! We are glad you had an amazing stay at our house and enjoyed the space! Hope to host you again! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"I would really like to give the rating a 4."
5 but no the option for this. There are a few things, the garden has not be attended to in quite some time so lots if weeds including the planters at the front. The oven was very unclean and the dining table was very sticky. We loved the house overall however the layout was great for our 3 families, beautifully appointed and had everything you could need.
Hi Lindsey, We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Thanks for your feedback on the table. We are aware and are currently in the process of getting a glass top. The table is cleaned each stay, however with its use, the varnish is now starting to wear, so we are hoping the glass resolves this. Appreciate the feedback on the garden, we have been making steady progress given its size, and will likely get a a team in to do maintenance later in the year. Hope to host you again Oakwood Team Property Owner

"A beautiful house with beautiful views, with everything you need and very clean."
Oakwood house has a lovely, quiet enclosed rear garden, great for the children to play games. The rocky climb up to it wasn't a problem for us but the patio area is certainly good enough to enjoy the outside if some find it too steep. We, a family of 10 and a dog, had a fantastic holiday. It's situated very close to Matlock, my husband and me walked there, but it's 5 minutes in the car. I would without doubt stay there again and highly recommend
Hi Janet, Thanks so much for your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and time at Oakwood House! Hope to host you again in the future. Oakwood Team Property Owner

"This property is beautiful!"
So good that we have booked for July 2025. The patio area could do with a clean up of fag ends and a barbecue would be good to have, also a gate to the side for people who bring dogs and children….
Hi Sam, Thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We have added a gate since your to the side of the house to help with the children and dogs based on feedback. Apologise if there was some mess, we will adjust this with our team. We are looking into a BBQ for next year based on feedback and input from recent stays. Thanks for this. Hope to host you again, Oakwood Team Property Owner

"We had a great stay and all said that it was the best holiday home we had been in so far."
One small improvement for us, as dog owners, would be a gate at the side of the property so the back garden could be completely enclosed. But we managed to fill the gap with some chairs so it wasn't a problem. Apart from that it was perfect, very modern with multi-device chargers everywhere and loads of kitchen equipment, plus having bathrooms for each bedroom was a fantastic touch.
Hi Tom, We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Thanks for the feedback! That’s a great idea. We will look to implement that’s as part of our improvement plans for the summer. Hope to host you again in the future! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"The property is wonderful, well appointed with many luxury features."
We had a few issues, nothing we couldn't deal with, however: The fridge hadn't been cleaned properly, crumbs on the shelves. The dining table was sticky, the outside table was dirty. We didn't find the extra cutlery drawer (inside the pan drawer) until the 3rd day, just assumed there wasn't a vegetable peeler. The second last day there was a dreadful smell emanating from the sink but no bleach or disinfectant. We coped with boiling water. There were no hooks in some bathrooms for hanging up a bathrobe. No heated towel rails - towels dried because the house was warm. Some of us had a large gap below the shower door, causing a puddle on the floor. We appreciated the instant hot water, the comfortable beds (all arranged in the configuration we requested) and charging leads provided.
Hi Moira, We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the comfort of the house and beds as well as additional features. Thanks for your feedback. We will look into all the points you’ve provided and continue to make improvements based on guests valuable experiences and input. Hope to host you again in the future. Oakwood Team Property Owner

"A wonderful house in a great location."
Great facilities and a great space for our group of 9. Slight issue to report back with blind control on kitchen window which fell off. Otherwise all was good. Hope to return next year.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Oakwood House."
It is a lovely house with great views and well designed particularly the kitchen/dining/living area which is very spacious. The location is excellent in terms of visiting tourist attractions- most no more than 30 mins drive and some well under. Alicja
Hi Alicja, Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Oakwood House! It was great to host you! The local attractions are great! Glad you managed to visit them! Hope to host you again! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"This really is a fabulous house and is exactly as advertised."
Everything has been fitted out with top end products and the views are just another bonus! A great place for any large gathering and if you happen to be into walking, it couldn't be in a finer location. With The Gate Inn just around the corner, it really is perfect.
Hi Jeremy, Thanks for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the house. The team pride themselves on the standard we’ve set ourselves! The Gate Inn is an excellent place to visit! Hope to host you again in the future! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Beautiful accommodation."
Missing a living area toilet but we managed
Hi Sharon, Glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and appreciate your feedback. Hope to host you again in the future! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Fantastic property, well equipped and furnished to a very high standard."
Parking for 5 cars is a little tight (we just managed with 4) and there is no toilet/cloakroom on the "living" floor so elderly guests have to climb stairs. The outside bins were full when we arrived (a Monday) and we struggled to dispose of waste. Notwithstanding these minor items we had a fabulous stay - lots to do and see and a good nights' sleep. Highly recommended!
Hi Barry, Thanks for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Oakwood House and the surrounding areas. We are looking at an active solution for the bins to provide additional capacity with the local teams. What we have been provided by the council is being reviewed. Sorry if this caused any inconvenience. Appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Oakwood House is a fantastic property in a great location."
The fixtures and fittings are wonderful, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds very comfortable. Having the laundry room is a great bonus, as is a bathroom for each bedroom. It is easy walking distance to two good pubs, and there are numerous hiking trails and sightseeing opportunities. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and hope to return in the future.
Hi Jean, Glad you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciate the lovely feedback! Hope to host you again in the future! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"The house is a fantastic space for friends and family."
Each room has its own bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need as well as the rest of the house. We stayed in February so couldn’t really enjoy the outside space but I imagine in the warmer months being outside with a bbq would be fantastic. The village it’s self is lovely and we would recommend a roast at the nearby Gate Inn.
Hi Anna, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and what Oakwood House has to offer! We are looking forwards to the summer months so guests can enjoy the outdoor space! Those roast dinners at the Gate are great though!!! Hope to host you again, Oakwood Team Property Owner

"Oakwood house was beautiful."
It had everything we needed and more. It had plenty of space for 7 adults, a child and a dog! It was spotlessly clean and comfortable with a large garden for the dog to roam around The location was great, near to pubs, shops and nice walks ( to pubs and a local brewery mainly ) A lovely stay. Hope to be back again soon.

"Fantastic house, 7 of us stayed for 3 nights and had a great time."
Plenty of space and good quality furnishings and kitchen equipment. Felt like home from home. Superb views across the valley from the sitting room windows. Had a lovely walk from the house through the Lumsdale Valley and had the best Sunday Roast at the Gate Inn in the village, great to be able to walk to from the house too. Would definitely recommend
Hi Heather, Thanks so much for your lovely comments. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and our property. The Sunday roasts at the Gate are the best!! Glad you experienced that! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"This was an incredibly modern property, and such an incredible place to stay in the beautiful English countryside."
There was more than enough space for 10 adults to stay comfortably, and many things to see nearby. We highly recommend the Crich Tramway Village. Our only point of feedback was that the property would benefit from better ventilation - the floor to ceiling doors look luxury but we weren’t always comfortable leaving them ajar to let air in whilst we slept, some windows or desk fans would have helped!
Thanks Anooj! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and got to explore the surrounding areas! Thanks for your feedback on our property! We will take a look into this! Oakwood Team Property Owner

"There were great facilities all round with en-suite bathrooms and televisions in everyone room."
It was much appreciated that basic amenities were provided. The owner, Alan, was very courteous and dealt with a small leak in the kitchen immediately. The garden was a great feature and the kitchen, dining room and lounge area was spacious and well laid out. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Overall, an excellent holiday home furnished and equipped to a very high standard.
Thank you kindly for your review, the house team work really hard to ensure that the house is clean and most welcoming , we really appreciate your feedback- we do hope that visit us again! Oakwood House Team! Property Owner
