  The location is lovely, peaceful with lovely views.

  Lyndsey the lady on site was lovely, she was very welcoming and not at all intrusive considering she lived next door! The house was nicely maintained, with plenty of room. The welcome pack was a nice touch, thank you The garden is not enclosed which is not great when you have a four legged friend to look after & chase about, but the site is large and fortunately when he wandered we found him! I stayed in what we called the Hobbit House - the bed was marvellous, never slept so well, however there is no storage for personal belongings, no mirror, the loo is a port a loo which is not great in high temperatures and the bathroom door refused to stay shut! That said, there was only the lack of storage which caused a serious issue. The mezzanine floor bedroom had the same issue, no storage for personal belongings. I acquired a clothes horse from the main house to hang my clothes on......... The 2 main bedrooms were lovely, full size coat hangers would be good though! The sofa's although new are not big enough for sitting watching TV on an evening, they are small which means you are sitting on top of each other, not great in high temperatures. Loads of parking for a number of cars, although the road to and from the house is not great, we had high cars which was good, as low cars would bottom out in the many deep holes along the road. The jacuzzi and sauna were there and clean & ready for use, but we never used them due to the lovely weather we had, we just sat out and enjoyed the view. A lovely location for a quiet holiday, lots of birds and squirrels to watch and enjoy.

  Pheasant Lodge is set in a beautiful woodland, it's a luxury property and the master bedroom is huge!

  The kitchen is very well equipped. Kieron met us and showed us around the property and how to operate the sauna and hot tub. We also used the pizza oven and BBQ, plenty of outdoor seating, a lovely garden and very private & safe with it being the last property at the end of the lane. We were celebrating the 60th wedding anniversary of my parents who are both in their 80's, they found the ground floor bedroom and bathroom easily accessible. Also staying were my daughter and her husband along with my granddaughter of almost 15 months, she was so excited and spent so much time outside. There were 4 generations at the property and it suited us all, I stayed in the shepherd's hut, it was a very comfortable bed, hot water always available and I loved it. The walks to both reservoirs are truly stunning, we saw lots of wildlife and so peaceful. Fox Valley retail park is only 10 mins drive away and has every shop you could need and a beautiful Italian restaurant where the food was delicious. We also had pre-booked Sunday lunch at McGilverays' Wortley Arms, (as recommended by Kieron) the food was excellent, the owners went above and beyond to look after 12 of us (my sisters, niece and partner joined us). We want to thank Kieron for his great hospitality and was easily contactable if we had any requests or issues. I would highly recommend staying here, we all had such a lovely time. Thank you so much

  The advertisement for this cottage needs updating.

  The outside is the cottage and the surrounding area looked really drab. The garden was completely overgrown and full of weeds, no excuse for this after a long Summer of lockdown. There was a bra left in one of the bedside drawers. Crumbs in the kitchen cupboard. The washing machine wasn’t always available as the manager next door also used it (even though there were two), we had to get the maintenance guy out as half the kitchen ceiling bulbs had blown. The house alarm was going off every few hours, a fuse kept blowing in the cottage and all of the lights would go off, this happened 5 times. The living room arrangement was awful, there were 6 single seats and one double seat, they were so uncomfortable and not the sofas that were pictured in the advert. Our elderly parents in particular were really uncomfortable, they had a low back on them so you couldn’t even fully lean back and relax. We were so disappointed as we were looking forward to settling in for the night on the sofa with a film after long day with our newborn baby. The bath plug in the main room didn’t work properly and all of the water drained out of it so didn’t bother having another one. We paid a lot of money for this holiday and were not at all happy with the constant problems and disappointments.

  We stayed at Holly Cottage to avoid the stress and inconvenience whilst out kitchen was being removed prior to a refit.

  It was certainly a relaxing place to stay: clean, warm, cosy, thoughtfully furnished and well equipped. A few complimentary items made us feel very welcome. The location was wonderful - but then we knew that as we live quite nearly. There are some great walks right from the door. Our stay was in November but in warmer weather, the outside space would be very nice. A couple of negatives: the 4G Popup was very poor. If you wanted to do some work which relied on the internet, it wouldn’t be suitable. Also a very poor phone signal (at least on O2) meant you couldn’t contact others - including the owners if necessary - from the cottage itself. Not a problem if you really want to get away from it all. As for the kitchen area, there was very little storage space for food. The fridge was tiny, with a small freezer area and the drawers and cupboards were all full. There were no instructions for the appliances so using the cooker and microwave involved guesswork. Although we didn’t use them, I imagine the same applies to the dishwasher and washing machine. This last issue could easily be rectified. In spite of these issues, we would definitely recommend this lovely cottage for a peaceful and comfortable retreat.

  We had a lovely stay of 3 weeks at the Millhouses Hideaway whilst building work was done at home.

  The house was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Tracey was there when we arrived and was at the end of the phone, when we had a question, throughout our stay. Will was very responsive when the smoke alarm went off due to a problem with the oven door that they are getting replaced. The beds are very comfortable. The on suite has a soft mattress which we loved but others are firmer if you prefer that. The internet can go down for a short time in the evenings when the demand increases but we were able to get it back on by rebooting the router. We noticed that the water, when running a bath, runs hot then cold for a minute or two but if you leave the taps on it goes hot again and runs a lovely hot bath. There is a path into the woods and Millhouses park by the house next door and that is ideal for dogs. The back garden doesn’t have a gate but there is an old door to slide across to keep small dogs in the garden. We didn’t use the garden as it was wet and quite dark during our stay but we didn’t need it with the park being so close. We would recommend the house for other visitors. Ideally placed in the South of Sheffield for local walks and the Peak District as well as Sheffield City Centre.
