• "The only criticism we have is that another toilet for the people that are sharing a bathroom would be useful, if someone was in The shower / bath in that bathroom there was no available toilet."

• "We had a great time at Woodlands celebrating my brother's 60th."

  The accommodation provided everything we needed for 10 people to have a relaxing time with plenty of space. It's not very often you stay somewhere where everyone can sprawl out on the sofas! Great location for a trip to Alton Towers, walking and visiting the area.

• "We were a group of nine people, incluing two youngsters, and had plenty of space to move aroumd and socialise."

  The 'Snug' was a bonus if anyone wanted to be quiet. The games and jigsaws provided were good and they were used. If you have a particular game that you like to play, such as Monopoly then take your own. The site is well located for all the the places that we wished ro visir. The Village of Eyam, including the museum, and the Heights of Abraham, are well worth a visit. Everything that you could possilbly need was provided, including tea towels, and a basic welcome kit for a drink and a biscuit on arrival. Would highly reccommend. I did lose my hearing aids, which was a blow, but that has no reflectionon the property, just on my own carelessness. Thank you for a really good place to stay.

• "The upstairs area is huge -and extremely comfortable meeting our needs very well."

  All facilities worked well. We didn't use the snug so I cant comment on that, preferring to be all together as a group in the lounge where the large settees are brilliant. Kitchen facilities were a little lacking, e.g slotted spoon, sieve (for rice -the ones there had holes that were too big), sharp knives. Lots of pans available, including 2 steamers which I love! Large double oven which was great -even if figures on knobs had rubbed off! If we'd been staying for the week another freezer would have been invaluable, however for the weekend we managed. Downstairs the bedrooms and bathrooms were all very well furnished and comfortable. We did have problems with water supply one day when we all wanted a shower at the same time as a bath being run -as we had all just arrived back form our walk! Otherwise the water supply was excellent. The biggest issue we had was the lack of a separate toilet, and one main bathroom being shared between 4 people (in fact it could have been 6 if we had been fully occupied.) There was regular occasions when people were 'booking' their showers /baths -and making them short so that they could accommodate others needing to use the toilet. A separate toilet would resolve this. Also a shame there is no toilet upstairs but I can understand the logistics to this. Parking was excellent -and facilities for recycling were much appreciated as we usually have to take our compost home! Overall as a group of friends we had an excellent stay with some minor frustrations! Thank you

• "There were 11 of us and the accommodation was perfect for us."

  The huge upstairs room had enough comfy seating for us all. On the whole there were enough pans and utensils. The odd thing that was missing was an ironing board (though we had an iron). However, one was soon found and the owners were really helpful.

  Very helpful owners nearby who are happy to drop off fresh eggs from their chickens. We found a nice, mostly off road, walk into Buxton and plenty of other amazing walks a short car drive away.

• "A very spacious and well equipped property in a tranquil and picturesque location."

  It was ideal for a large family holiday and was within easy reach by car to a number of attractions such a caves and facilities such as pubs, restaurants and supermarkets in Buxton. However, the farm did sell fresh eggs. As a minor point, a mirror over the sink instead of on the back wall of the ensuite of the bedroom we occupied would have been useful for wet shaving. A very enjoyable holiday.

• "Everything was good, however, we had a huge problem with the huge sound problems between the upstairs communal spaces and the bedrooms below."

  We had children and a baby in our group and it although we are a quiet group who were just walking normally around and playing board games, it was impossible to put the little ones to bed downstairs while people are still up as normal walking sounded like people crashing through the floor. As soon as the first person was up in the morning walking around upstairs everyone was awake because it is so insanely noisey. This really needs to be noted on the advert as is very difficult with children.

  It took a while for the house to warm up, but then was cosy, and very festively dressed. Some of the carpet and soft furnishings were a little worn but all were clean, and the beds very comfortable. Plenty of hot water! We didn’t need to trouble our hosts, everything we needed was there. We would strongly consider another stay here as a large group, or in smaller groups in the other properties, thank you.

• "We had a lovely family stay here in early Jan 2022."

  The owners were on hand for any of our needs; even checking in on us and offering assistance (via the plough!) when the snow came down heavy! The large open space allows a large family to interact well or break off into smaller groups if needed. It allowed excellent family time without anyone feeling on top of one another!! The sofas were amazing and added to the comfy vibe / chill we were looking for! Well equipped kitchen with plentiful dishes / cutlery etc. The two ovens and two fridges were a very much needed and appreciated. There was everything we could have needed (perhaps a couple of tea towels more would have helped but that is very much nit-picking!). Beds were super comfy with lovely quality bedding and the towels were nice and fluffy and soft. If you are wanting a large family get away - this is the place for you!

• "The cottage was perfect for a larger family get together."

  We loved the wide and open social space. The large couches were a real hit. It’s rare that a family of 10 can sprawl out in such comfort. The amount of bathrooms and en suite bathrooms was also well thought out. The cottage was well equipped and very well situated to explore the majority of the Peak District. Castleton and Bakewell being around 30 minutes away. Cowdale is also peaceful and beautiful. We would return in a heartbeat. This was a real find.
