  The house is huge!

  A great space for a large family group. The bedrooms are spacious & well equipped, as are the kitchen & bathrooms. Very impressed with the owner’s attention to detail in the house: beautiful furniture & furnishings. Easily room for our 3 big cars in the driveway too. Table tennis tournaments in the conservatory were a daily activity for all! Another great space, with a wonderful view of the trees along the stream by the garden. Sitting out on the decking in the evening with the sound of the stream was so relaxing. We didn’t have the best weather unfortunately, but made the most of exploring the area when we did. Despite COVID-19, we were able to enjoy ourselves out and about. We had one meal out at the Hare & Hounds in Simmondley village, only a short distance from Willow Brook. The service and quality of food were excellent and we were impressed with what they had in place rē Track & Trace, social distancing etc. Other than this one occasion, we cooked in or got a takeaway (which all delivered on time too!). All in all a fabulous week spent in the Peak District. Highly recommend a stay there.

  We liked the property which, in general, is in a good and quiet location and with good facilities, fixtures and fittings and we did enjoy our stay.

  However, whilst it could so easily be transformed into a five star gold category, we can only award it four stars due to a variety of minor issues. These include cleaning (a dirty toilet, dirty mattress protectors and dog mess in the garden), maintenance (e.g. non-working heating in several bedrooms and bathrooms, non-working TV in one bedroom, loose shower door handle), lack of basic facilities and materials (e.g. no tray/shelf for soap/shampoo in some showers, soap or shampoo was not supplied in all bathrooms, no washing up brush / pan scourer, no ball for the table football machine) and a rather stingy welcome pack. It is also the first time that I have been requested to strip the bedding before leaving a rental property. A more major feature is the severe creaking from floorboards and staircase - enough to awaken guests. Most of the items listed could be easily, quickly and cheaply rectified and so allow the property to be fully rated as five star gold.

  In the kitchen.

  2 or 3 more medium sized saucepans would have been useful (instead of half a dozen frying pans). Also the gas hob seemed to have a mind of its own, and was often difficult to light, especially after it had been used and you wanted to relight it. This applied to all the rings. (The ring would ignite but go out when the knob was released) Not sure what can be done about it, but the creaking from the flooring in the 2nd floor bedrooms, is excessively load when heard from the bedrooms below. Guests walking about in the top floor rooms sound as though they’re in the room with you during the early hours. Finally, it would be helpful to change the bag in the vacuum cleaner in the utility room (Henry) We used this several times and the smell from the collection of pet hair is overpowering. Apart from these minor criticisms, we had a most enjoyable stay, and the property is ideal for family celebrations.

  We had a lovely weekend away.

  The property was spacious and comfortable and we all enjoyed sitting round the table together. We particularly liked the big bath and the large beds. We all enjoyed playing Pooh sticks on the bridge just round the corner. We had a couple of concerns about safety to let you know about- the black railings outside on the decking are loose. One of our party nearly fell over as he lent on them. Some of the kitchen knives are in need of replacement. One has its tip missing. Another broke as I was using it. The blade snapped and flew off the handle. We were lucky it didn’t hurt anyone as there were children sitting at the breakfast bar at the time. We’ve left these knives on the windowsill. We also ran out of toilet rolls- there were a few half rolls in one of the bathrooms. But I think 2 or 3 rolls per bathroom would be reasonable to expect. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  There are only good things to say about this property.

  We stayed at the weekend for my partners 40th with our family and it was perfect. It had everything we needed. It was spotless and extremely clean and looked beautiful, even better in person. The beds and sofas were so comfy and there was plenty of room. My 1 year old loved the space to run around and was kept entertained with the huge tele in the lounge watching all her Disney favourites. The area was lovely and very quiet and was close to local shops and pubs which was really handy. We were able to have a lovely walk even though it was so cold. We've said we would definitely come back but maybe in summer when the weather is better so we can make more use of the summer house, bbq and the lovely garden. I would 100% recommend this property. Sally and David were very helpful too and were a text or phone call away if needed. Thanks for a great stay
