  This holiday cottage was everything we could’ve asked for and more !

  Amazing location, which was a great base for everything we wanted to do. As soon as we walked in to the house we could tell how clean everything was, which really put our minds at ease especially given the current situation. The lockbox for the keys was easy to find and access, although we did find the front door locks really quite stiff so keep this in mind when you are unlocking/locking the door! The cottage was probably the best equipped cottage I’ve ever stayed in, we had everything we could possibly need. Two fantastic sized bedrooms one with a wonderful en suite, and the main bathroom was fantastic as well. The cottage garden is a lovely addition and it was nice to sit up there on the warm summer evening- bare in mind though you can only access it by going through the neighbours garden, but this didn’t bother us at all! Claire and Martin left a little guide on good local pubs, and instructions on how to use some of the appliances which was much appreciated ! All in all we have all said if we come back to the peaks we will definitely be staying here again!

  The cottage ,situated in the heart of the small village of Monyash , is delightful.

  It overlooks the village pond and within a few minutes walk you can be at the pub , the cafe , the church , see alpacas or get fresh farm eggs. Inside the cottage the kitchen and spacious bathrooms are equipped to a very high standard and all the electrical equipment was so easy to use too. Everything was spotlessly clean ; beautiful carpets , towels and bed linen , kitchen cutlery and crockery , pans etc all excellent . The decor is faultless and very tasteful too. A small lounge but then it was cosy and comfy In the mornings ( when it was warm enough ! ) it was so relaxing to sit with your coffee outside the front door and just gaze at this idyllic village , heat the church bells, watch the heron fly in for breakfast , watch the ‘ ladies in waiting ‘ in the field by the pond and a huge bonus for us we saw two of the sheep lamb ! A very friendly village with folk stopping to talk to you as you walk around Great walks from the door and cycling area. We found it perfect and are going to book again .

  Monsal cottage is exactly what we needed.

  It’s a lovely clean cottage with everything we wanted right there. It was very clean and very warm. We stayed with our dogs for a week and had a lovely time. The only negative comment I have (and it is not the site owners fault) but some people who stay with dogs did not tidy up after their dog. There is a lively enclosed area to let your dog out for a wee and poo but some people clearly don’t have standards and don’t clean up after their dogs. I tried to tidy up some of the other poos myself but there was too many. Do these people not realise that eventually the site owners will stop dogs staying there??? It’s not difficult!!!!! Anyway that is a comment on people not the site owners. We loved our stay. We certainly loved the little gang of goats that greeted us most days on the site. And the site owners were very helpful with any of our additional needs. Highly recommend.

  The cottage is very quaint and comfortable, with a lot of nice touches.

  It was a very cold week in December, so the heating was important & we did find this difficult to keep the place warm as we had to up the thermometer as it entered a new pre-programmed period. Once it was sussed, no issues & with a warm log burner going, it was very cosy, I suggest you take your own wood to burn. The downstairs bathroom is very cold! Beds are super comfortable. Another note that the garden is accessed via a very steep stairway, even our dog did not like going out that way, so we walked up the village street where there is a green. Great Longstone is beautiful with walks from the door, a great village shop (that sell the best Pork Pies) and 2 pubs that both have great food & beer, winner winner! I also highly recommend the Pack Horse Inn in Little Longstone, a 15 minute walk but better beer & even better food!

  We had a lovely weekend at Buttercup Cottage.

  The cottage was spotlessly clean, the living room was cosy, especially once we got the wood burner up and running (we bought a box of kindling from up the road) and the kitchen was spacious and very well equipped. We didn’t use the garden as the weather wasn’t great but the steps up to it are steep. The beds were comfortable and the showers worked well, although the downstairs one was a little stiff to turn on (reported to owners). The heating was efficient but hot during the night (again, reported to owners). The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful village with two excellent dog friendly pubs within a few minutes walk. Nice to see a few horses trotting past the window. Great location for days out too … Bakewell, Monsal Head, Monsal Trail, Thornbridge Hall to name a few. Would definitely recommend.
