• "Booked this house as a family get together as we all live in different parts of Uk."

  Worked out perfectly. Lots of space with 2 living rooms. Kitchen and bathrooms are all of a high standard and kitchen was impressively stocked with plenty of crockery, cooking equipment and space to cook and entertain. Outside space was fab. Spent a whole day playing garden games and sitting in the sunshine catching up. Lovely walks from here to. Great communication with host. Brilliant pub directly opposite serving best Sunday roast ever ! Only things for improvement is tv lounge would really benefit from a new sofa / no mirrors in some of the bedrooms and mattress in one bedroom Could do with being replaced. We all live in modern houses so It was lovely to spend a week In such an old house with its quirks and uneven floors. Would definitely return and glad to see the owner investing in the property but keeping it true to its heritage.

  Hi Karen Thanks for the great feedback. It was great hosting for you and your guests. Best wishes Rob and Sarah Property Owner

• "Great location, close to Alton Towers and opposite a nice pub."

  Was extremely hot and stuffy as summer time, and very few windows opened to allow fresh air. There were fans, but they just blew the hot air about. This meant it felt very musty and we left a night early as we could not sleep very well due to the heat and lack of fresh air in the house. Such a shame, as otherwise it was an amazing place to stay, very grand and with well equipped kitched. If windows could be opened it would have been perfect.

  Hi Joe. We are at the height of August so I guess heat is to be expected. A welcome change after the wet summer we have had I’d say! We are not able to give free reign to the windows as they are ancient and irreplaceable. A single smash would be a disaster. Usually the fans do the trick! Please consider a visit in winter when the heat provided is more a matter of your preference! Thanks. R&S. Property Owner

• "This was a lovely property for a family holiday, with pets ."

  Comfortable , but not so smart that we couldn't have fun in the house, which we took full advantage of. Good selection of toys and games in the cupboard and the stairgate meant it was easy to keep the dog downstairs. Unfortunately , the garden wasn't entirely enclosed in any area, so we couldn't let the dog roam around. The tumble dryer was broken and we were disappointed there wasn't a barbecue, although there was a big bag of charcoal! In all, it was a great property, with plenty to do in the area.

• "Lovely property."

  Well equipped kitchen unfortunately no roasting tins or baking trays. Dishwasher didn't work and couldn't be repaired during our stay. Good quality bed linen and excellent water pressure in bathrooms. However the two main lounges are in desperate need of some TLC. Sadly this let the property down for us. Photos available if required.

  Hi Gina. Thanks for your review. I suspect you maybe didn’t find the roasting tins - there are 3, including a brand new one. There are also 4 frying pans and 4 large pots which usually covers things for our larger groups. We have also just updated our kitchen range with this monster… https://www.rangecookers.co.uk/products/belling-farmhouse-110e-ceramic,5345/ We hope that future guests will feel well catered for.

• "We were anticipating our 83 year old mother would be able to use the downstairs bedroom advertised as disabled access but the distance to the toilet made this impractical for her."

  The uneven floorboards on the first floor and landing was a danger for her and perhaps this should be highlighted more.

  Hi Colin. Thanks very much for your review. We have tried to ensure that the downstairs of the house has been laid out to accommodate guests with mobility restrictions. The wet room on the ground floor is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair. Other accessible rooms include the ground floor bedroom, 2 lounges and the kitchen. I assume that difficulty arose as the accessible bathroom was not en-suite? You are correct in pointing this out. To access the wet room from the bedroom you must cross through the kitchen. The distance is around 6m or so. I’m sorry that mum struggled with this. Regarding the first floor - the slightly wonky floors are part of the property’s C16 charm. We wouldn’t recommend that guests with mobility impairment venture up there. This is why the ground floor has all the facilities accessible at ground level. We love the wonky floors!

• "Outstanding."

  We were a family of 8 adults and 4 children together for a special occasion. It was like staying in a National Trust property. Never stopped anywhere like it before. Bedrooms and all rooms were huge and very tastefully decorated. Beds were super comfy and lots of places to sit and relax. Spotlessly clean and very well maintained with one exception - the induction hob wasn't working. We were informed about this beforehand and temporary arrangements made for us so we changed our meal plan. Obviously this could be a big issue - but for us it was not. The only other negative was the top floor bedroom. Great for the kids but we happened to be there on the rare occasion of a lovely summer weekend and the room was extremely warm. A cooling air-con unit in this room is a must! The garden/drive is well laid out, very peaceful, well maintained and with ample tables and chairs - all of which were well used. The property is across the road from the Crown Inn - a lovely pub serving excellent food - very busy so you need to book and both are situated in a lovely little village. I've never written this before but yes I would go back.

  Hi Ron, Thanks for your amazing feedback. We would love to host you and your family again! You will be pleased to know that the kitchen range is now back in full working order. On your advice we are also going to source fans for that top bedroom. Visit again soon! Best wishes. Rob and Sarah. Property Owner

• "The Manor was fabulous, such a beautiful house with so much history, it was a joy to spend the weekend there with family."

  The Manor was so well equipped, clean and comfortable. With so many quirks of the old building to enjoy, the wonky floors, doors that didn’t fit and if course the beautiful beams. We organised ourselves, a 1920s murder mystery which fitted the location perfectly. I have no complaints about this beautiful house. Only one point, our party was aged 30 up to 85 and everyone said they would have benefited with fans in the bedrooms. The windows are original leaded so can understand the secondary glazing but in the bedrooms there was very little air. Thanks again for a great stay

  Hi Margie Thanks very much for the great feedback. The murder-mystery party sounds like a great success! Kind regards Rob & Sarah Property Owner

  More child friendly than expected with large room to play in. Would be lovely in the summer with the large garden and nice pub literally across the road. The wi fi isn't great but that's a good thing as it forced people to put their devices away. I would definitely stop here again but if your over 6ft mind your head, lots of low beams and doors.

  Hi John, Thanks for your great review. Regarding the WiFi we noticed that the BT mesh disks had been unplugged. These sometimes need resetting. When they are up and running you should get full broadband throughout the property. Disk locations and instructions are in the property info pack. Thanks for your visit. Rob and Sarah.

• "Fabulous quirky property."

  Very spacious and warm. Accommodated our toddler grandson and a very sensitive Viszla extremely well. Panelled bedroom like being on a ship with wonky floorboards and doors . The goat got a nasty suprise when we appeared in the garden but managed to hop over the gate into its proper field before the dog could say hello. Very well equipped with a small supply of tea and coffee-big bottle milk left for us in the fridge. Obviously a much loved family home and not a sterile holiday venue.

  Think the uneven floors helped reduce the alcohol!!!the cistern on the upstairs toilet (not the bathroom) didn't always refill so needed a jiggle. Good provision of cot, high chair, plastic crockery, toys, dishwasher tablets. Brill cookware- we always bring good knives but didn't need too- sharp! Lovely garden- kids loved the slide despite the wet! The goat from the field nearby jumped through the compost bin into the garden- again kids loved it!! Very very very warm house.

  We were a group of 4 families with young children and the space worked great. Both indoors and outdoors there was plenty of space for everyone. The children loved the garden and the secret toy cupboard! Adults loved the very well equipped kitchen and great dining space for eating, socialising and board games. The house really had everything you could need. Location wise is fantastic. We had a Tesco delivery but topped up at Ashborne shops only a few miles away. We all enjoyed days out at Peak Wildlife Park and Sudbury Hall. We will definitely be back. Thank you again.

• "Would highly recommend this property."

  Several days before arrival, we received a comprehensive information pack; the detailed instructions on how to find the property were a big help for those guests whose satnav took them to the school! The house is full of charm with many original features, yet has modern kitchen, bathrooms etc. The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome pack, including doggy treats, was much appreciated. There was plenty of space for our party of 10 plus 2 dogs, and the separate sitting rooms were great for a group that size. The photos don't do justice to the garden, which is extensive and well maintained. There is a dog friendly pub over the road which serves good food. I'm not sure why Sykes advertises this property as having 2 bathrooms - there are definitely 3! The description also doesn't mention the (rather lovely) stairgate which, while not at the foot of the stairs so not perfect for babies/toddlers, keeps the dogs downstairs.

  Set in an idyllic location, with a host of charm and beautiful character this house was perfect for out family and friends weekend away. Everything was finished to a high standard, it has everything you need. We loved the quirkiness of the property. Also, huge bonus of a fabulous pub just over the road!!! Only issue is the heat and some rooms have sealed windows so it gets extremely hot. And it may have been nice to have a games room instead of 2 sitting rooms, however we would come back again in a heartbeat! Thank you.

  Hi Emma Thanks for the great feedback. We are really pleased you had a great time. We hope you discovered the games cupboard in the second lounge! Some of the window frames in the property are absolutely ancient which is why they are fixed closed - we were worried that they would be damaged if left in the wind. They are unique ancient windows and are irreplaceable. We know it can get hot - particularly nowadays and have provided fans to try and help keep everyone cool! Hope that helped? Come back soon.

• "What a beautiful and handsome old property this is, with its quirks and history."

  Despite the age of the property the key facilities such as the kitchen and bathrooms were modern and fully equipped. Comfy beds made for a good nights sleep and lovely back garden was a lovely place to sit and unwind after a busy day at near by Alton Towers (where me and my family of 9 were for the weekend). Only suggestion I would make is to put more sofas/seating in one of the 2 lounges (not enough for more than 6) and change the other into a games room (pool table, darts etc), as its a shame we didnt use the other room as we all wanted to spend the time together and not be split into 2 rooms just so we can sit down. Aside from that, we loved our stay and will be back !

  It is in a great location and provided ample comfortable accommodation. There are just a few suggestions: The available beds and layout needs updating - specifically the trundle beds that we needed to make use of because not all our guests were in couples. The details indicated no baby facilities - in actual fact there was a high chair and a travel cot so I need not have brought (and purchased!) these There was no pepper mill bizarrely although there was a container of peppercorns! There was no indication of what to do with the recycling although separate bins were provided. We generated a lot over the holiday period and could find nowhere nearby to take it. Otherwise the property was was well equipped, warm and a most interesting property to host a large family gathering over New Year, Thank you.

• "Gorgeous property full of character with potential of being 5*."

  Overall we had a fantastic stay but a few things bothered us. Here are the things that could be improved. Full replacement of range oven. We were told the day before the hob was broken. This was a nightmare when cooking for 10 people. We were given a late check out as a gesture of goodwill which was no good to us as we had to go back to work. The x2 temporary hob plates were not great but we had no choice. We relied more on the oven which wasn’t super reliable either (uneven heat etc). Maybe just replace the whole thing?! Living room arrangements, the 1 with the working chimney is the one we used the most as it had the big tv and log burner in it. There are 2 sofas and 1 big bean bag, we were a group of 10 so it always meant a few people were sat on the floor or beanbag which is not ideal. We wanted to sit as a group and felt like this set up was better for a group of 6 adults… please look at this as at full capacity it would be even worse (groups don’t always want to sit in separate rooms). The freestanding bath was something a lot of us wanted to use but it isn’t installed at level so it wobbles from side to side, doesn’t feel safe, again please look into this.

  Hi Matt Thanks for your feedback. Sadly our induction cooker was indeed temporarily ‘on the blink’ for your visit. It is a bit of a monster with 5 hob rings and 4 ovens and the repair company was unable to effect a full repair immediately... Thankfully it is now back in full working order! We did buy the extra hobs for your party to try and avoid any inconvenience. These will now also be available for future guest-stays giving the property a total of 7 hobs! Enough for any aspiring chef I should think! Property Owner

Although very old house, the kitchen and bathrooms modern with quality fixtures and fittings and good facilities. Only real negative - kitchen, bathrooms, bed linen and towels clean but upstairs very dusty and full of cobwebs.

  . Pros- house is very clean, kitchen well equiped, fabulous large garden for adults and children, 2 lounges make it perfect for a family getaway so children can have their own space too. Its is a beautiful old house with wonky floors/walls etc - this is part of the charm. A lovely welcome basket from the owners. Pub opposite for lunch/dinner if required. Cons, only 8 dining chairs which is strange as it is a house for 12-14 so you can’t eat together. We were lucky with the weather and ate outside but would be a pain in bad weather. Even in April the house was boiling!! Only 1 bedroom had opening windows which made us all slightly uncomfortable- the attic bedroom is classed as a family room but was unbearably hot, admittedly there was a fan but in the summer you wouldnt be able to be upstairs, only a tiny unopening window up there.

  Hi Rebekah, Thanks for your review, we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. The extra chairs are stored in the utility room under the stairs - really sorry you didn’t find these - we will have to make it more obvious in the welcome pack! We even have oak extensions for the dining table to cater for our largest groups (the table extensions are under the sofa in lounge). The bedroom on the third floor does get a little hot in Summer as it is right under the eaves! We usually have the fans running to try and keep it cool. The bedrooms on the first and second floor are better for cooler customers! Thanks again. R&S Property Owner

  Positives - the house is beautiful with gorgeous listed features. A modern, fully stocked kitchen. Beautiful grounds and gardens.

Negatives - the mattress in the double bed in the black and white room is very uncomfortable and I’ve been left with back pain after sleeping on it for a few days! Definitely needs a new one.

  Some of the kitchen equipment was dirty when we came to use it and a member of the party found a dirty sock under their bed.

The rain started to leak in the front window in the lounge room and near the fridge in the kitchen, but we were in the middle of storm Eunice so not unexpected. Overall it was a lively stay in a very comfy, quirky cottage

  Hi Helen Thanks for your review - storm Eunice was a corker and was a particular challenge for a house built in the 1600’s! Straight down rain is fine but when it comes from all directions the house can complain :-) We see it as part of the fun of an ancient property! We hope you appreciated the wonky bedroom floors and crooked beams? Apologies about the escapee sock etc! Rachel and her team of Ninja cleaners are typically absolutely outstanding.
