  Fantastic week getaway in a lovey cottage in a small village.

  Check in was easy and communication from the owner good but could have been faster. The house was clean and very comforting. The heating was set to a temperature which always kept the house warm which I appreciated. There was a log fire with wood supplied, although some kindling is probably needed to start the fire more easily. I brought my own and was able to use it as few times fine. The upstairs is divided into bed room and separate bathroom, with a huge shower and separate jacuzzi. The jacuzzi was amazing, certainly the highlight of the property, and perfect after a day walking. It is hard to explain just how good it is, it had a music facility on it, lights, heating, and jets from various angles you can control. There was a small amount of toilet paper but not enough for a week stay. Towels were supplied. I appreciated the welcome book with the wifi and instructions for appliances which was helpful for using the oven etc. Kitchen had amenities like salt/pepper, washing up liquid, oil, tea, coffee, plates, cutlery, tea towels but not some other bits like kitchen paper, kitchen spray, scrubbers. TVs downstairs and up were smart TVs and there was lots of lightening throughout the home to create a nice ambience. All in all, it met and exceeded my expectations having seen the pictures on the website and reviews. These meant I came stocked with what I needed. Value was excellent but I think that was also due to the fact I came at the end of Jan.

  What a wonderful place which far exceeded my expectations.

  A very warm welcome from both Jane & John who walked me through the house to run me through the operation of the heating, shower, cooking appliances etc and then left us alone to enjoy the peaceful break that we were looking, with the reassurance that they were just next door, or on the end of a phone, had anything untoward happened. I have hired maybe 15-20 cottages over the years and this has got to be one of the best, if not the best. We were holiday sitting my brother's dog and can truly say that the enclosed garden truly was as advertised and the adjacent field where he could run to his heart's content was superb - my own late dog would have loved such facilities which in the past have not delivered in full. Mum wanted to stay another week and if work hadn't been a factor I'd have happily extended our stay - the place was spacious and homely and four people would have more than enough space. Some of the feedback for this property left me a little apprehensive but I'm glad that it didn't dissuade me from booking. The owner can only be honest with the advert and if they tell you there is no wi-fi or it's adjacent to (at times) a busy road then don't complain when you arrive to find just that. Phone signal was excellent though, and so it should be at 1250ft above sea level, so internet access on my smartphone was not an issue. I'd love to return to this gem in the Peak District

  Our stay at Skylark was absolutely perfect.

  We arrived in the dark after some difficulty in the snow, and found the apartment already heated up and cosy, and the makings of a much-needed cup of tea (including a packet of chocolate biscuits) were provided - the owners had thought of everything. The space was immaculately clean and modern while also having lots of traditional character in the beams and stone walls. The heating and appliances were all easy to use, the kitchen cupboards were well-stocked with every utensil and container you could want, and everything was comfy, from the sofa to the bed linens. The electric fire was lovely for cosy evenings on the sofa. The location was ideal, on the outskirts of the village of Longnor and a short walk to Crowdecote as well as being an easy drive to other nearby villages and walking routes. I can't recommend it enough and hope to visit again one day!

  Outstanding retreat for a quiet get away from it all.

  Superb location if you have a pet with the private field. Beautifully decorated with original character. Extremely Clean and well fitted out. If you have young ones there is no wi-fi as listed and 4G is patchy, but we saw this as a bonus. The road mentioned in other reviews was hardly noticeable. If you wish to use the Devonshire Arms pub the walk is along the busy road and the opening hours are not all day when we visited closed Monday to Thursday. The only slight downside was the chairs were rather uncomfortable and the shower ran excessively hot or cold with a low pressure. We would highly recommend staying here and would do again. The late check in of 1700 is in our opinion too late especially if you are travelling from afar and with a pet as we were.

  The cottage was large and beautiful.

  Set in a lovely garden and surroundings..perfect position to enjoy all the lovely villages and beautiful countryside that the peak district has to offer.on the down side.the central heating boiler was located outside the cottage and was preset by the owner...and because there was no fire we found it cold for many parts of the day...the settee was so uncomfortable that it left us with neck ache....and perhaps a small welcome pack would have been appreciated as most cottages we visit have one and it makes you feel most welcome....overall the cottage was great value for money .easy solution is to slightly raise the price of the cottage to cover the cost of these minor details.overall a great stay .many thanks.
