  We loved our stay.

  Perfect for a big family break. All rooms lovely with amazing views. House very clean. House well equipped with everything we needed. (Could do with a 2nd toaster as the one there takes forever and with so many people for breakfast it took a while) but everything else so well equipped for large numbers. 2 dishwashers really handy. All rooms nicely spaced apart so didn’t feel on top of each other during stay. Massive dining table to seat everyone. Loved that there were a couple of different lounges/cosy areas so guests can spread out and not be all stuck in one space. Outdoor area beautiful- most amazing views. Sooo nice to have that view to wake up to. Little lambs right there and bunnies hopping around. Outdoors would benefit from a comfier sofa/rattan type set or loungers for sunny days/more seating if everyone wanted to sit outside at table. Also an outdoor light nearer the house/table would be great for sitting out. 2 Hot tubs and sauna fab. Beautiful setting. Owners were helpful and easy to contact with couple of queries we had re cleaning and someone came out to check/clean one of them out that seemed to not be quite right. We had a couple of children with us who absolutely loved their stay and all the space in the garden (small children need close supervision as house very close to the road - no issue but garden gates are like metal farm gates so small children could easily get through them onto road) Ashbourne only a 10 min drive away for cafes shops etc and lots of nice walks on your doorstep. We absolutely loved our stay so much and wouldn’t hesitate to return/recommend to those looking for a special break.

  This is a fantastic house in a wonderful position.

  We did, however, have major issues with the electrics on the site. When we arrived the house was warm, but after that the heating went off and we had to resort to sweaters etc. The instructions sent out by the owners stated that “the heating is controlled via an outside app …. Do let us know if you would prefer it warmer or cooler.” We messaged Laura Holden at 18.01 on Saturday to ask for some heat, and she replied at 21.24 telling us that the reference to an outside app was copied from another property. Laura then told us where the thermostats were in the house; one of them would not work because the knob was worn. Guests staying in the cottage and on the third floor of the main house were cold. A further disappointment was the hot tubs. We decided to use them on Saturday evening, but found that there was no power in the areas of the sauna and hot tubs. On investigation we found an outside consumer unit with an RCD that had operated. The cause appeared to be a fault on the hot tub nearer the sauna, so we had to leave that disconnected in order to restore the outside power. We.messaged Laura and she promised to contact a local electrician; she did this and he came on Sunday around 1 pm when we were out walking. These issues with the heating and the hot tubs were most unsatisfactory: we were only there for the weekend and we manifestly did not get full value. OTHER ISSUES: kitchen well equipped but needs some small sharp knives, one or more decent sized cafetières, water jugs, and plugs for the sink. The “Welcome Guide” needs careful revision: what it says about the heating and the Wi-Fi is inaccurate.

  My husband and I needed a holiday to relax with our dog and this was ideal.

  A few days away in a lovely clean cottage, with coffee and tea making goods on arrival. Walks from the doorstep, and the very wonderful added bonus of a large private hay meadow, with pathways cut into it to let the dog off lead and play ball. We went up Chelmorton low, a high mound at the edge of Chelmorton. We drove a short five minute drive to the wye valley car park with our own pack ups. This was where we took some beautiful scenic walks down by the river wye and had picnic lunches, taking a different walk each time. There is no WiFi or phone signal at the house, but we were able to find a phone signal and WiFi in the meadow, which has two park benches to sit and watch the world go by. We were in the meadow every day to let off the dog in the morning or evening. We went totally self catering and enjoyed it very much, however if that is not what you want, the local pub would be an excellent place to eat as other reviews have stated. It is just up the road a couple of minutes, with WiFi and walks from the door. We did not find a lack of signals a problem as we felt great being on top of the world in this beautiful area, so far above sea level. We would both recommend this to anyone who wants to relax and unwind properly.

  We were a group ranging in age from 11 months to 81.

  The house suited our needs perfectly, catering for everyone. We required ground floor sleeping accomodation as well as downstairs living and socialising areas as our elderly member could not access the stairs. Once again, the house proved perfect for this. Sleeping accomodation catered really well for 2 couples, a couple with a baby and a family. The play pen provided by our hosts proved invaluable as we were able to relax as baby played happily and safely in the pen. The extensive grounds were enjoyed by all, particularly as the weather was lovely. We hired 2 hot tubs and these were used and enjoyed by all. We hired Tom and Mark to cook a meal to celebrate a special birthday and this was excellent. The games room on the top floor was perfect for the children aged 10 and 12 and the adults joined in too. A great time was had by all. We were lucky that Ed and Kim were staying next door and could attend to any (very minor) issues. Thank you! Everyone in the party was very complimentary about the house and are looking forward to returning. Thank you so much to Ed and Kim for their hospitality and generosity (the wine and biscuits were much appreciated). Thank you so much.
