“A quaint, nicely decorated cottage but this is not somewhere that we would stay again.”
+The property was very clean.
−Getting the key from the key safe around the back of the property was treacherous to say the very least. There were many steps, no lights whatsoever (solar lights were not emitting any light) & it was pitch black because we didn’t arrive until 10pm as confirmed when requested an arrival time. The bathroom is downstairs so when needing the toilet in the night you have to negotiate down the stairs & back. There is a very small two seater settee, a chair & a wicker chair that is only really suitable for a child. It meant we spent no time downstairs at all & just stayed in our bedrooms as the seating was so uncomfortable.

“Lovely little cottage in a cute little village”
+So cosy and clean and it had everything we needed
−The only gripe would be the parking even though it was free it was a bit of a pain having to carry our luggage through the church grounds

“Disappointing but Such a shame as good location in the town and for Alton Towers”
+It was a quaint clean cottage. Used cottage as a base as went to Alton Towers. Kitchen was serviceable as was the shower.
−The TRAFFIC. Should have read a few more reviews, and that’s my mistake. The Lorry’s started rumbling continuously past the house from 4am and when we got back after tea they rumbled on till 10pm. Husband counted 24 in a hour as it woke him up at 4am and then he couldn’t sleep. This cottage is not for the light sleepers if you are going to be in the double bed at the front. Teenage grandson slept well in the back bedroom though. The amount of heavy traffic going through the town is not the owners fault and at the moment it looks like they are upgrading the town centre so when that’s finished it may help. We actually drove home and didn’t stay the last night. Also booked for party of three and they only have a high small round table with only two bar stools to sit on in the kitchen. Personally for me It would have been better having one of those small tables where four chairs tuck underneath but that’s just a personal preference. Haven’t enjoyed writing this review at all but hope it helps.

“Weekend get away with my daughter”
+Facilities, it has everything that's needed. It is in walking distance from the town centre. There is no free parking, unless you wanted to walk a reasonable distance, but Cattle Market Car Park is close and costs £4 for 2 nights (car park is behind the church, the property is directly in front of the church) please download the pay to park app via Play Store not via Google website (scam link, bank have blocked my card as scammers had instantly tried to access my account - also reported to council who own the car park) Mix and match décor makes it quirker Good internet. TV works and has access to all streaming accounts, if you have them and want to login. Love that the owners are a young couple trying to make a living and investing in their future.
−It's on a busy A road, so the outside is subject to noise, dirt and pollution. It smelt of damp inside. We appreciate that the owner is heavily pregnant, and is paying a cleaner, unfortunately this cleaner isn't doing a passable job. The outside is dirty (from the road, granted) but it seaps into the inside. we could tell that it had been hoovered, but the floors weren't mopped, dusting appears to be based on what the cleaner feels like doing. (Won't upload the photos as I appreciate this isn't the owners fault and they are aware) I haven't used my inhaler for months, good job I took it as it kicked my asthma in. Wardrobes need clearing out. Front door lock is temperamental, sometimes the lock it works, sometimes it doesn't. Back entrance is too narrow if you had a pushchair and need to use the front, this may be a problem. It needs some TLC (front door lock, bed in small room needs the bolts tightening up, clear out the cupboard in the small room, and wardrobes in the main bedroom - there's no need for two travel cots, it's not big enough for two small children to stay, bathroom tap needs tightening up) Cleaning needs to be done on the morning of check in, so it smells fresh and k

“Property fine for a short stay.”
+Location handy for what we wanted to do
−No hand towel in bathroom. Only half a toilet roll provided. Freezer box as part of the fridge would have been useful. Only 2 dining chairs provided for 4 people but used the uthe outside table and chairs as very good weather

“Cosy cottage ideal base for trips out into the Derbyshire Dales and a short walk to the town centre.”
+Convenient location, cosy with comfortable beds.
−Very busy road with associated traffic noise. Roof leaking during heavy rainfall resulting in drips through the ceiling in the front bedroom.

“Really lovely and well connected stay!”
+It was a perfect location and the hosts had gone above and beyond with facilities and ensuring the stay was well equipped.
−Not really a problem for the host- it was more my child’s age a lot of the furniture was heavy and we just had to be careful with my toddler.
