• "A fabulous cottage."

  Had everything we needed for our family stay. 14 of us aged 3 to 66. Hot tub was a big hit and everyone loved the pool table and football game. Lovely big garden with fantastic views over the countryside. Huge well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds in all rooms. Very cosy with log burner going in the evening. Would recommend to anyone

  Cottage was absolutely lovely, perfect for our Hen Weekend, plenty of room, excellent kitchen/cooking facilities Our only slight issue was with the hottub, the button for the jets was really difficult to use, we ended up with them off most of the time A doormat near the patio doors for people coming out of the hot tub, and a fire pit would have been lovely

• "Thanks for a fabulous weekend away, for family to celebrate my parents’ Golden Wedding Anniversary."

  It was just perfect! Everything was as described…and the delicious cake left for our arrival was a lovely touch. The kitchen was very well-equipped and the beds very comfy. The sunsets from the lawn were beautiful and helped us capture some wonderful photos. Highly recommended! Thanks again x

• "We've recently visited for my fiancé's 30th birthday."

  It was a lovely break, allowing everyone to be in the same place at the same time. There are lots of pubs a couple of minutes drive away & about 15 minutes walk. The only 2 things I can think of as an improvement would be; • back garden being fully fenced off rather than the wired fence. • bath mat to prevent it getting slippy after a shower Other than that the experience was lovely and the views are fantastic.

• "Large living/social area with brilliant views."

  Large kitchen. The sofas in the lounge need replacing. Lots of bedrooms for large parties. Small en-suite needs updating. Most of our large party complained about beds being uncomfortable.

  Thank you for your feedback, it is always helpful. It’s the first time we’ve been told the beds are uncomfortable, in fact it’s usually the opposite. However we will review. Property Owner

• "We had a great stay at the house with our family group of 10 aged 20 to 86 years."

  The two downstairs bedrooms with bathroom were perfect for our golden oldies, as were the 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms upstairs for the rest of the group. There were steps between areas as expected in an old property and they all coped well. The whole house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen well equipped. The views were amazing especially at sunset. It gave us a great base to quickly and easily drive about (into Sheffield for graduation day, collect & return one of our family from Chesterfield train station and enjoy visiting Bakewell & Chatsworth House on other days).

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted you and your family enjoyed your stay at the Old Robin Hood and the graduation get together was a success. Please come again. Property Owner

  Great property for large groups very spacious plenty of games 8 to play if raining, the only downfall was it was not wheelchair freindly, but did not spoil our weekend we managed we had loads of fun and laughter, host left cakes for our arrival nice touch

  Thanks for your kind feedback. As there are various levels downstairs in this 400+ year old property we purposely don’t advertise it as wheelchair friendly. I’m glad it didn’t spoil your weekend. I will check and make sure we clearly state there are a few small steps up to living room. Property Owner

• "Could not recommend this house highly enough."

  We had three households all together to celebrate our parents 50th anniversary and it’s a perfect property to have done that in. The downstairs bedrooms and bathroom were great for the older people in the group and the gaming area was perfect for all the teenagers. The kitchen is the best equipped one I’ve seen and the living room area is bigger than needed to sit us all together in an evening. The owner’s daughter was incredibly kind and attentive following a group member having a fall, she could not have been more helpful. We will definitely be returning and making the most of the stunning views and the hot tub.

  Family of 15 spanning 70 years down to 2 years old and everybody loved it. Views are beautiful. Cottage well equipped with everything needed. Don’t really need to go far with the hot tub, pool table, games etc but lots of beautiful spots within 10 min drive. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Look forward to coming back in the future.

  Perfect for exploring the area with lots of walks and places of interest within a half hour drive. The host couldn't have been more welcoming and communication was easy. Really enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend to others

• "Absolutely perfect for a reunion with 5 under 5s!"

  Previous feedback says the house was cold but we didn't find this at all, the ensuite bedroom was the coldest but never dropped below 19 degrees at the end of November. We enjoyed putting the fire on but it wasn't necessary. The kitchen was well appointed and the lounge room is perfect for socialising. Communication with owner also easy. The house is well located with lots of pubs nearby and only 15 mins from Chatsworth house.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted that you had a great time. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

• "The house is great, and provides what it says it does, the owner is responsive and helpful, but it is in a very windy location, and the windows don’t all seal so there is a constant draft through the house, this would be ok but the house is heated via a ground source heat pump which the owner controls, but it doesn’t disperse the heat evenly."

  The kitchen, games area and downstairs bedrooms are lovely and warm, but the upstairs bedrooms and lounge are cold. Every day we woke up cold in the upstairs bedrooms. The lounge was cold too. We were provided with a log starter pack which consists of a few logs and some kindling. But in order to keep the lounge warm (bearing in mind this is the room we as a family collectively spent the most time in an evening together) required the fire to be the source of heat for the room. Considering the price of staying in the house, if the heating is inadequate in that room then the wood should be provided, or at least it should be clearly flagged that you will additionally have to buy your own wood. We spent £62 on wood for the week. The point is that we shouldn’t have to pay for wood to stay warm, this should be part of the cost of the let! I did raise the fact that we were cold but was then told that the temperature was reading 22degrees so we shouldn’t be cold. We left it as we didn’t want an argument over how cold we were etc. The fact is iwe wouldn’t have been said we were cold if we weren’t! We were given another starter pack but that only lasted an hour. The crockery and glasses were inadequate, there are not enough bowels glasses etc for everyone in the house, you have to wash them up before everyone could eat breakfast The main shower upstairs leaks as there is no seal between the shower glass and the bath. There is no way to dry the towels as there are no radiators as it is ground source heated Our experience was that the house is nice but I would only visit in the summer and it requires more maintenance. The house is fine but the basics let it down. The owner needs to take full responsibility for providing adequate heat and enough wood to stay warm

  Thank you for your feedback. We constantly check our property and maintain it. The washing machine is a dryer too, so if visitors need to dry things you can use this. When you told us about the seal, we arranged to get it fixed. We don't offer to provide wood as we aren't always around and couldn't be relied on to be able to deliver it. Our cleaners are instructured to leave 2 bags, kindling and firelighters. I will take on your feedback and leave some more. We installed a new fire this year, and considerable expense - we purchased the fire that gives the highest level of heat. We do regular checks on all of our kitchen equipment, we are sorry that you were not satisfied. Property Owner

• "We booked the Old Robin Hood to cater for a 40th birthday party."

  Aoife met us on arrival and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay (without ever being intrusive). She made sure we had enough water in the hot tub (and that it was hot enough), that we were warm enough and had enough logs for the fire. The kitchen was large, well equipped and organised and made a perfect social point for our party. The main living area had very comfortable sofas and chairs, and a fantastic wood burning fire. The bedrooms were clean, and beds comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic, and a perfect place to relax. It's easy to get to, there are many local pubs, the local shops and supermarket are nearby, and its the perfect place to stay if you intend to head out into the Peak District (with Stannage Edge and Higger Tor just a stones throw away). In summary, I would recommend this place to anyone with a decent sized group of people, and would love to stay there again someday.

• "The cottage was exceptional and beyond our expectations."

  There was ample room for the 11 of us that stayed. The hot tub was a brilliant facility. The only aspects of feedback I would give are that, in winter there is probably a need for a door mat into the living room for people coming in from the hot tub. We made the floor quite slippy coming in and out. Also a few people in the group commented on the hardness of the pillows on the beds. But aside from this it was an amazing experience and Aoife was on hand to make sure everything was perfect

  My only very minor grumble was that the instuctions for the very modern cooker were hidden amongst the very comprehensive pile of walks books for the area, so it took a long time to find them, thus delaying the cooking of the lasagna for our evening meal!. I will send the owner an e-mail of thanks, and mention this very minor point. Also, the bedding and towels which were provided were sparkling clean, and a pleasure to use. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.

• "Cold. Cold."

  Cold. On arrival the information in the house told us the main room is cold due to high ceiling and not to adjust heating as it takes a couple of days to get up to temperature. Sadly we were sitting round in coats and gloves all week. Log fire very hard to light as wouldn't draw (does chimney need sweeping?). If we had known in advance we could have brought portable heaters/extra jumpers/hats etc from home. Sister in law with broken collar bone had to go home early as cold made it ache so much. I appreciate the weather was particularly cold during our stay, but as the information on arrival made it clear the owners were aware of the issues, it wouldn't have been difficult for them to warn us to come equipped.

• "The large kitchen is well stocked and the downstairs is very warm with the underfloor heating."

  The lounge and dining area was great, there was enough sofas and chairs for everyone to be seated at once around the fire. We especially liked that the dining table was in the lounge so that we could all be together in one room whether sat munching on cheese and crackers enjoying the fabulous view out of the large window, or sat eating chestnuts in front of the log fire. The only downside is that there isn't an outside tap to keep topping up the hot tub !!!!
