What our customers say about their holidays

  Shabby exterior, weeds and nettles.

  Decking slippery when wet. Interior better. Spotless bathroom although mirrors not cleaned. Windows filthy, had the remains of dog drool on the glass and kiddies finger prints. Wardrobe smelt of cigarette smoke. Lampshades full of dust and cobwebs hanging from ceiling corners. Toaster had food remains left in. Hob not cleaned and oven trays not cleaned. No instructions of appliances. The bed was comfy and decent bedding but a drab grey colour. Plenty of hot water. There was a toy found under the bed and the owner made a joke of saying his daughter had not cleaned under the beds. Beware of the Labrador dog which is domineering with other dogs and attacked my dog. The owner was quick to say that his dog did not bite mine, even so it upset us and my dog. This is the first time that we did not get a welcome pack. We had been travelling a long time on the road and was in need of a drink and something to eat. A bottle of milk and some biscuits would have been nice. Also it states that the property is in Rowsley. We was then navigated up some narrow, winding, pot ridden roads. No shops around. Too dangerous to walk your dogs on the roads but the owner did allow us to use his fields. One of the windows had all so had blown glass. The place was warm.

  We chose Stables lodge because it was near family to celebrate my Mother's 100th birthday.

  With two superb en suite bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and sitting room, the lodge and its location is perfect for us and my partially sighted mother. Spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable, lovely decor, good quality crockery and utensils and a fantastic view . With countryside to explore on the doorstep and local pubs and Spar shop nearby, it is a very convenient gem. As a birthday treat, we went to Matlock Farm Park. The staff were wonderful and could not do enough for us as it was a special occasion and we had a wonderful, if wet, day. My Mother absolutely loved the Wallabies, Meerkats, guinea pigs and rabbits. On the first evening at Stables Lodge we had snow, which caused a short term access problem because of the short steep drive but was solved quickly by using the nearby stable's shovels, with permission from the lovely Claire. Thank you. We had such a lovely time we are looking forward to coming back in January, again with my 100 year old Mother and our two dogs, when we will have more time to explore the area.

  A modest, comfortable warm, well designed and well equipped lodge.

  Easy to find and set in spectator countryside. We enjoyed two nights at Harry's lodge with our two dogs. The lodge was set in a fully fenced paddock. This was ideal as we could just open the door and let the dogs have a mooch and do their business without a lead. Would have given 5 stars but there were a couple of niggles which didn't detract from a great stay. The shower door worked just fine but was not set in the runners properly so potentially could be hazardous. Also, the mattress was a standard double and very hard. There was a topper in place so there had been an attempt to improve its comfort but I didn't sleep very well. Unfortunately the room would be too small for a king size. I realise mattresses are hard to get right as the are subjective. In spite of this, we would definitely book again, as it was ideal for the dogs and convenient for the exploring the local area, attractions and sites of interest.

  Thorntree Lodge is a real gem.

  This property was ideal for visiting the peak district and easily housed 4 adults and our dog and also had more than adequate space for visitors. Several easy to reach dog walks can be accessed from the property and the lodge itself is very dog friendly as are the owners whom share the adjacent farmhouse. We enjoyed a relaxing 5 day stay that included 2 elderly ladies that found the one level property together with an easy access shower the ideal setup. A small enclosed garden/driveway was more than adequate for our pooch to do its business etc and the nearby farmyard had a tap and hose so as to washdown wellies and the dog after some muddy but delightful walks. A BIG thank you to the owners whom were friendly, welcoming and very helpful without being at all intrusive and made our stay all the more relaxing. Put Thontree Lodge on your places to stay and you will not be disappointed.

  Stayed at Stables Lodge with friends.

  Photographs of the property were so inviting, but when we arrived it was even better. What a gem of a property, in lovely surroundings. Its location is central to the many of the Peak Districts wonderful towns and villages. The property had everything and more of what you needed and was spotlessly clean. We were lucky with the weather, although it was very cold, Stables Lodge provided all the warmth we needed, and even dealt with a scattering of snow midweek. Beds were extremely comfortable as were the sofas in the lounge. With two bathrooms, it was perfect for two couples, and we were totally impressed with the TV in the main bathroom. Thank you Owners for leaving the welcome treats of Prosecco and biscuits, it was such a kind treat. Would totally recommend this property to anyone, and we really do hope that we will return in the near future.
