• "Another wonderful stay at The Gables."

  Highly recommend this property. Great location in the centre of Castleton - shops, pubs & cafes all within walking distance. Fantastic walks from the front door. The boot room is ideal for coming back from muddy walks. The hot tub & games room are also an added bonus. This was our second stay & don’t think it will be our last. Thanks again Chris.

  Hi Heidi Thank you for taking the time to review your break at The Gables. Yes, the boot room is a god send for muddy boots & paws! The hot tub is just what you need after a day walking the hills. I hope you will come back again soon. Chris, Property Owner

• "The property was as described in the listing - it was well equipped, clean and reasonably comfortable."

  We did some lovely local walks (Hope, Cave Dale) but we confess to driving to Mam Tor. The kitchen was well equipped to cook for a family but there are some great pubs near by if cooking isn't your thing. The family also made good use of the hot tub as well. There are one or two rough edges that surprised me at this pricepoint, e.g. wobbly/loose door handles in the ensuite but these didn't detract from the holiday. The driveway was very narrow and getting an SUV in can be a challenge if you don't like reversing. Road noise was only an issue on the first evening (Fri) and we didn't really notice it again. With the prime location, a bakery and shop on the same street it's a great property and we'd recommend it to others.

  Hi Robert Thank you for your review. Parking is at a premium in the village and providing private parking is a challenge within a narrow space I agree. I'm glad you all enjoyed your break and I hope you will come back again soon. Chris, Property Owner

  It is a really lovely property, it has everything you need for a great holiday. It is set in the middle of the village with pubs and restaurants minutes walk away. There are some lovely walks straight from the door. I look forward to returning to The Gables.

• "The Gables is a comfortable, home from home in the beautiful town of Castleton."

  It's the ideal base for exploring the Peak District, either on foot or via a short drive. The Gables has everything you require for a relaxing week away including a games room, a comfortable lounge, a well appointed kitchen and the best bit was the hot tub to soothe those aching legs after a day in the hills. The location was ideal, the shop is about 5m away, the coffee shop is next to the shop, and the bakery, selling delicious breads, cakes and pastries, is within a stones throw. There are 7 drinking establishments with most selling outstanding food, particularly the Castle who's steak pies are second to none. There are some negatives as there are with all rentals however they're not showstoppers. There is traffic noise but we only really noticed this at night with the windows opened. However, this should be seen as a trade off for being in a central location and not being in the middle of nowhere. The only other negatives were the shelves above the sinks (far too wide) and the poorly fitted toilet seats that slip to one side. Again when compared to the positives such as the wonderful welcome hamper, a jar of dog treats and a jar of sweets, these pale into insignificance. Lastly we did have a maintenance issue whilst we were there but Chris (whilst on holiday in Spain) arranged for Rich to carryout a speedy repair. I would not hesitate to stay here again and would thoroughly recommend The Gables to our family and friends.

• "We have had a splendid stay at The Gables which met all the requirements ts for our party of three couples with two dogs."

  It is a perfect base for a visit to the Peak District with walks close by and other attractions a short drive away. The Gables itself is ideally situated within the village with restaurants, pubs a very good bakery and small shop right on the doorstep. We received a lovely basket of goodies to welcome us and a message to let us know the cottage was ready, actually earlier than expected. Every detail is catered for, logs for the stove, treats for the dogs, a carafe for overnight. I think this accommodation would be hard to beat.

• "We stayed at the Gabels for the New Year."

  The cottage was still decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. The kitchen was well equipped, the facilities were great. We played pool although the cues didn’t have tips on them but we compromised. The cottage was spacious with each bedroom having an en-suite however whilst the bathrooms were clean they were mouldy as was the main bedroom which showed signs of damp too. The cottage would also benefit from a deep clean. We would have booked again for next year as The Gabels fitted our needs well however the damp and mould needs attention before we would consider visiting again.

  Many thanks for taking the time to review The Gables. Your stay coincided with incessant high winds, storms and torrential rain which resulted in some roof tiles shifting position which, unfortunately let in the rain water resulting in some problem patches within the property. I'm in the process of getting this rectified now the bad weather has subsided. The pool cues have also now been replaced. Chris, Property Owner

  From the second we stepped into The Gables, it felt so homely. The facilities are amazing, we wanted for nothing during our stay! All 3 bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and cozy, all with their own en-suites which was a huge bonus. We had much fun in the games room playing pool mostly, this was brilliant as the weather was not on our side! The owners have thought of everything, from little Christmas gifts under the tree for us all including the dog, to all the added extras that you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a holiday rental. We didn’t use the hot tub as it rained pretty much the whole time, the tub is at the bottom of the garden with no cover which would be amazing in the summer but during winter months it felt a little off limits, but this didn’t detract from the amazing stay we had here. Castleton itself is beautiful. The location of the cottage is perfect and lots of walks had with the dog. We will definitely return. Thanks for making our stay so welcoming, we loved it!

  The property is beautifully clean, the white goods are all excellent, as is the tv, Freeview, wi-fi and all those things we now seem unable to live without. Chris is ever so helpful if you need her for anything at all (we couldn't fathom the ultra modern tap in the kitchen sink) We'd be very happy to stay there again. If there was any downside (and it wasn't an issue for us) is that the front bedrooms do get some street noise until quite late, especially if you need to open the windows due to lovely hot weather!

• "Property was in a great location and was well appointed."

  There were lots of leaflets and information handy. However, the property was not as clean as we would have liked. The radiator in the kitchen was dirty with clumps of dust hanging down from the bottom. The bath had hairs in it and had to be cleaned by us before we used it. The shower head was black and hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The toilet seat was broken and moved to the right every time we used it. Most annoying was that the lever behind the sink tap in that bathroom was missing so you could not put the plug in to wash as it wouldn’t come out again. These things could easily be fixed making a stay there much more enjoyable. The property was not cheap to rent so it was very disappointing to find this.

• "Fantastic Week!"

  January 2022 Thanks to Chris for letting us stay in her beautiful and perfectly located cottage in Castleton, which was the perfect base for walks, pubs and restaurants. We had a wonderful week with stunning weather on many days. Highlights were; The Roaches (very slippery!), Thors Cave, and Mam Tor (very windy!) Recommendations are; Curry Kabin in Hope (we walked to and from at 25 mins each way), takeaway pizzas from the George, Watson's Farm Shop for sausages, and our personal favourite was 1530 (Italian) but booking is a must. Thanks once again to Chris (it was lovely speaking to you too!) We will definitely return! Emma Coward and family

• "We were at The Gables for Christmas & was truly amazing ."

  Felt so welcomed with presents under the tree felt so Christmassy all round . Cooked a Christmas Lunch with no problems at all, plenty of cookware & utensils to use. Loved the boot room it was perfect to dump muddy boots & clean dogs down too especially as weather wasn’t good to us was very wet but still got out for the fabulous walks . Managed to use the hot tub on Christmas Day which was a great plus for our son to chill out, then to use the games table later on made the boys happy ! Loved that each bedroom had an en-suite with plenty of clean towels to use too! The cottage is right in the centre Castleton (plenty of bars & resturants to choose from) which was another plus, would love to return in the Summer

• "The Gables without doubt is the best holiday cottage I have ever had the pleasure to stay in."

  The owners really have thought of everything and the attention to detail is second to none. The location is fantastic and is situated in the centre of this beautiful village with at least 6 pubs/restaurants within a two minute walk. The Cottage although traditional is very contemporary in design and extremely spacious The additional logs available to purchase are great value and even include a large bag of fluffy Marshmallows and toasting skewers ( Another example of attention to detail) I would highly recommend this stunning cottage and I’m already looking at dates to visit again. Thank you Chris for allowing my family to stay in your beautiful Cottage. We made some great memories and had a fabulous time.

• "Fabulous cottage in a wonderful location."

  Well equipped kitchen and great facilities throughout. Everything you could have wanted was there and more. Lovely to have an en suite for each bedroom. Great attention to detail and very well presented. Excellent communication from owner. Good choice of books and DVDs, pool/table tennis table-to keep the family entertained. Didn’t even miss the WiFi. Secure garden for the dog, boards to fill in gap at bottom of gate, loved the little dog tag is case he got lost. Son said the hot tub was great.

• "Lovely property in the centre of Castleton."

  The property does need some larger pans in the kitchen as there are not enough to cook a meal for six adults. The summary says that fuel and power are included in the rent but you Don’t get enough fuel to use in the wood burner and then they ask you to pay £5,00 for a small bag of logs. The WiFi was none existent and cannot get Netflix etc so shouldn’t advertise it if it is not working. The central heating was very random and comes on at very strange times and not in all rooms. They need to leave instruction on how to use the hot tub as we couldn’t use it for two days because it wasn’t hot enough. Had to phone the owner to get instructions, a floor mop would be useful. Bedrooms and on-suites a lovely and on the whole it is a lovely place to stay .

  Hi Mary I'm pleased you found The Gables a lovely place to stay. I appreciate you taking the time to feedback. As you know, we had an ongoing external issue with the WiFi, the engineer confirmed this when he visited the property whilst you were there. We are pleased to say that the issue has now been resolved and we have full access for all guests. Chris Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country."

  We were a group of 6 and absolutely loved our stay. The hot tub, Games room, fire and spacious layout was perfect for us. We just needed to YouTube how to use the hot tub as we couldn’t work it out. There were lots of little touches that greeted us on arrival which made us feel welcome. We didn’t have pets but it looks welcoming for anyone bringing animals with the supplies provided. There was no Wi-Fi but that didn’t bother us. The owner was so helpful with any questions or concerns. The cottage is the perfect base to explore the Peak District. It is also suitable for guests who don’t have access to a car due to the amount of walks, caverns, restaurants & pubs on the doorstep and bus/train links either from Castleton/ Hope. We couldn’t fault this house or location and would love the excuse to go back.

  Hi Jen Thank you so much for your comments. I have now left a full instruction booklet for the hot tub to help people out and the WiFi issue has now been resolved and is available to all guests. Glad you had a great time. I hope you come back and visit us again soon. Chris Property Owner

  The pictures here don't quite do it justice. The wifi wasn't really working while we were there but that actually made it a more relaxing week as I couldn't really do any work while I was away. The location is perfect and it was by pure chance that we picked this property as we didn't really know the area. Chris was on hand by email whenever there was anything we needed to know and was very helpful. We will definitely stay here again.
