What our customers say about their holidays

  As another reviewer has said, the photos on the website do not do this cottage justice.

  It is spotless, large, warm and very comfortable. There is great water pressure so a post-walk shower is definitely invigorating! I liked the selection of local maps books which accompanied other books, games and DVDs. There was no mobile signal for us, but the wifi was spot on and the cottage has it's own landline phone. The owners live next door and were friendly and helpful. We loved seeing the chickens wandering around the grounds and started to name them. The views from the cottage are amazing and there is no sound apart from bird song. Public footpaths from the cottage boundary take you to Edale centre in one direction, and to Ladybower reservoir in the other. I recommend the ridge walk from Mam Tor to Lose Hill where you will be able to see the cottage. There were instructions for the appliances and a list of emergency telephone numbers, but we were surprised not to see a welcome guide (or did we miss it?), like other places we have visited have, with a few local recommendations and guidance for things like recycling. We loved our stay at the Old Stables and anticipate we will return to do all the things we couldn't fit in to this trip.

  This cottage has the most amazingly beautiful views!

  The landlady lives next door and is lovely. There are hens and ducks roaming around which adds to the rural idyll. Milk, locally baked cake, tea and instant coffee were a welcome provision. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped but the single toilet would be a challenge if it was occupied to full capacity. There is a large lounge downstairs which feels rather empty - perhaps moving the corner sofa forward so it is closer to the stove and the television would make this feel more cosy. The shower is one of these ones which runs from the bath taps with a converter switch. It is temperamental. The two main areas for improvement are adding a second toilet downstairs and adding a separate shower which is not connected to the bath taps. Some cushions for the dining table chairs would also be welcome. There are lovely walks directly from the cottage which make this a fantastic location.

  Being a frequent holiday-cottage user I feel well-qualified to judge properties and this has to be one of the best I have ever had.

  It suited our needs perfectly, the spacious ground floor is great and the kitchen spectacular! The cooker is especially perfect in every way, enabling me on one of the days, for extra family guests, to cook for 8 with ease. Having a family-sized fridge/freezer gives security for a few days self-sufficiency and with the quality washing machine and full-size dishwasher it really is home from home. The owner had gone to a lot of trouble in having Christmas decorations indoors and outside which we so appreciated. The location is ideal for our love of walking without needing to drive far at all. The Stables will certainly be considered for future stays in the High Peak area.

  It was a working farm breeding sheep so we learnt a lot about sheep breeding.

  The cottage was just right not too big , not too small, everything worked although it had a funny television set up. The owners of the property were helpful friendly and although very busy due to the lambing time were always willing to talk about sheep. The property was really out in the country side at the end of a single track lane which really needed a few more passing points so timing was important when coming and going. The scenery from the cottage is awe inspiring I have never been so impressed, the weather was good so the Peaks were showing their full glory. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who loves the country side.

  A spacious and comfortable barn looking right across the great ridge.

  Fabulous and beautiful location with walks from the door in all directions. Lovely owner who left us to it but on hand if needed. Lovely garden with seating and views. Birds everywhere - including a Kestrel that visited daily. Very clean and a helpful large fridge freezer for a family. Tesco deliver which really helped, but need help finding the place so leave instructions on the food order as little to none mobile signal. WiFi works well which was needed for a days work. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again in better weather - 2 storms and persistent rain but it didn’t stop us.
