  Excellent cottage and lovely stay.

  We were a bit snowed in but that didn't stop us enjoying Buxton and the local scenery. Our hosts were lovely and very generous. They provided us with a laid fire, wine and scones on our arrival which was a lovely touch. They even provided us with additional logs for the fire given the extreme weather we were experiencing. Any issues we had they were very attentive and helpful. The house itself was cosy nicely furnished with everything you'd need. It was well placed to travel into Buxton and the surrounding areas. The garden and hot tub also had everything you might need (albeit the garden was under a blanket of 6 inch snow so we can't comment too much on that!). The house was very warm and the log burner was brilliant at kicking out some heat to warm us up. We did find the living room TV to be a touch slow but it worked adequately. We did feel there needed to be a few more soft furnishings around, such as on the sofa, and some new pillows provided as they weren't the comfiest (we have been told by the owner that they plan to replace these asap so that was reassuring and good to know for future stays). All in all we had a fabulous stay and would absolutely recommend Shenton Cottage to others. The owners were lovely and helpful, the local area very beautiful and the cottage a nice, cosy place to stay. We definitely plan to return again.

  Lovely cottage - would book again in a heartbeat but the rising prices for the same period in 2022 onwards have forced us to look elsewhere - like a lot of the nicer cottages, since Covid prices have gone up way out of our price range.

  Great walks from the doorstep - literally! (One reason we'd love to come back - we didn't get enough nice weather to try the footpath down to Cunning Dale!) Hot tub was wonderful, especially after a day out. The neighbours are lovely, and we met Gina a couple of times (the owner) and she's really helpful and friendly. The kitchen facilities are superb, the conservatory is lovely, but a little cold (we didn't get much sun!) but we dug out our throws! Amazing corner setee in the lounge - perfect for two people to spread out on to vegetate in the evening. Shopping locally couldn't be easier - a couple of minutes down the road from either Aldi or Morrisons, or Buxton's shopping area/markets during the day. Not a complaint, but a note to drivers as no-one ever tells you these things: the car park isn't the first big one on the right - that's for The Mews cottages. A few yards further along, down a gravel track to the right, is the smaller walled area for the Dakin Court cottages! It can be a little tight when other vehicles are in their spots, and we had some creative multi-point turns to get in! Recommend turning round if you can to reverse into the spot, it makes getting out so much easier!

  Monks Cottage is a very well equipped (John Lewis rather than IKEA if you know what I mean).

  Lovely bathroom and kitchen, no expense spared, (except for an extractor in the bathroom). Really quiet and peaceful location The house is warm and comfortable, great corner sofa. Simple heating controls and log fire, (only used once, didn't need it). TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. Comfortable beds in spacious rooms. On arrival the Hot tub was ready to go, but we didn't use it, (rain stopped play). It is positioned in a very private spot, not overlooked. Monks Cottage is at the end of a horseshoe of cottages with friendly permanent residents. There is a communal grassed garden and a parking area for four cars, the Monks spot being the nearest and in sight of and just a short distance away. I had no problem parking my old large saloon there, (the access drive is a little rough and ready). We had a great stay, Buxton and surrounding area is full of things to do and some great restaurants. Well worth a visit. I would recommend Monks Cottage.

  Had a fantastic week at monks cottage 11-17th Sept.

  The cottage was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, I had forgotten the dogs food bowl but didn't need to worry as they had bits for the dog including a snuggly blanket that he loved. The hot tub was amazing and lovely to come back to after days out. The cottage is in a great position to walk in to buxton although it's tougher on the way back up the hill! Plenty of takeaways in walking distance and pub 5 mins walk(the19th hole), we had a lovely takeaway pizza on the Friday night from a pop up takeaway outside the pub, would recommend! There was plenty of leaflets at the cottage to help choose days out, Bakewell on a Monday was nice as there is a small market and we enjoyed Heights of Abraham in Matlock. The peak district is a great place, we hope to return and would definitely stay at Monks Cottage again.

  It was our first visit to Derbyshire and we were not disappointed,this was made even better by the comfort and cleanliness of the house.

  I was really impressed how beautifully clean and perfectly white the bed linen and towels were The enclosed communal gardens are perfect for dogs.it is the only holiday let on this lovely little group of cottages. The neighbours were all lovely and gave us tips on places to see. Couldn’t fault the property even Alfie our dog made friends with Daisy one of the residents dogs. Gina the owner was lovely and very helpful. Just a little tip if you are visiting Bakewell it is extremely busy on Mondays as it’s both stall and cattle market day Chatsworth and the heights of Abraham are both worth a visit. If you are interested in the Dambusters Ladybower reservoir and the Derwent Dam are we’re they practised the bouncing bomb. It was a perfect cottage in a perfect location
