  - [ ] The main bedroom is lovely and very big and the bed is great.

  Very comfortable. However, there is a skylight window directly opposite which doesn’t have a blind or curtain so at 4am - wakey, wakey! - [ ] Kitchen is fine and a nice room to sit in. The oven needs replacing though as the top part appears to work but at a very low heat. Took 30 minutes to cook a baguette (normally 10). Bottom main oven doesn’t work at all. No markings on the knobs or any instructions. All the crockery needs replacing too as it has chips on. - [ ] Living room is a nice size but can be chilly and feels dark. The sofas are completely worn out and collapsed, definitely in need of replacing. - [ ] No welcome pack with any details in about bins, when to put them out or where. Having some local info might be a nice touch with directions to local walking routes maybe? - [ ] The Billiard table is positioned against a wall and is wonky and worn out. The skittles are so worn out and chewed that they don’t stand up making the table unusable - [ ] The hot tub is old, with some cracks in the laminate base but is actually really good with fantastic powerful jets. However, it’s inside a small shed and the cover is completely broken so that the only way to remove it to use the hot tub is to fold it back and then on to the floor. The problem is that it is then almost impossible to pick up and put back on the top due to the lack of access around the tub. Great hot tub, needs a new cover! - [ ] The Sauna is brilliant. Lovely and clean and works great - [ ] The farm itself is lovely and the cottage is situated with easy access. It’s handy for your dog to wander around in a safe area and it can also access the field as well for a wee at night On the whole, albeit it’s nice enough for a few days I wouldn’t want to stay for a week. It just feels a bit run down and not looked after. I think the owners would benefit from staying it it themselves for a couple of days to see it as a visitor does

  Upon arrival the place was dirty full of cobwebs so not been cleaned for a bit There was nothing to clean the place with only a smidging of washing up liquid We had to go to the local Tesco to purchase cleaning equipment inc air fresheners The whole place smelt really bad we had to open all windows fir most of the day to get rid of some of it The kitchen pans and utensils were not up to cooking anything pans again old and rusty There was a small fridge that would not close so nothing getting cold there was an American fridge again this was dirty and full of marks were something had been spilt In one bedroom there were stains on sheet In terms of the location the pics on advert are a little misleading as there is a house across the court yard ( did not see anything of them thou ) The court yard is open not secured and the owners dog kept barking but friendly enough when it got used to you been there Was a bit annoying as we wanted to sit outside You need to be careful as living room is on mezzanine floor so if you had young children you might want to check stair gate There was no welcome pack or instructions how to use anything in the property we manged to sus it out but that’s not the point there should be information The bedrooms are all linked together so you walk through each one to get to the bathroom Sauna and hot tub were good and worked well again tho cobwebs and dirty The hot tub didn’t seemed to be maintained Or was anything to check the oh ect I have photos if required There is a nice view over the countryside I would not recommend this place at all I would have been better camping And if you are wondering I would have gone straight home but we had come straight from our daughters wedding and was having some work done on our house so we had to just suck it up We did leave a day early

  Just WOW, a group of us booked this for a 60th Birthday Celebration. We have stayed in some fabulous big houses over the years however, this one simply excelled in virtually everything. The pictures really don't do the location the justice it deserves. It is huge! We all got lost on the first day... there is plenty of room for everyone to have their own bit of space or, as usual, the Kitchen (or one of the kitchens I should say) was rarely empty. The pool is an extremely generous 20m and absolutely divine, there were balls and inflatables which instigated a highly competitive game of water volleyball one afternoon! The grounds are immaculate, any horticulturists planning to visit will greatly admire the planting. Overall, I cannot recommend Stancliffe Hall highly enough! We almost booked another house due to the photos and the fact that there were only double beds with 2 Kings. I can only say that I am extremely glad that we did book here, it's rare I say this any longer, the weekend was worth every penny and we had the most fabulous time. The owner's information and attention to detail was truly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.

  We have just had a lovely stay at The Loft.

  The property is in a beautiful location on a working farm. The accommodation is set out well but would not be recommended for anyone with mobility issues. And there are very low beams. Worth leaving a lamp on at night in case you get up and forget this! The owners provide many things that are not always in a self catering property which was great - toilet rolls, kitchen roll, washing up liquid etc. This was really appreciated. It is worth noting that there is a dishwasher although not listed in the features. The hot tub and sauna are a great addition to the property and the owner showed us how to use them just after our arrival. The dogs are just lovely and greet you every morning. They are obviously very used to the visitors and look expectant at breakfast time! If you really don’t like dogs, this might not be the property for you! The only thing I would mention is that there are no mirrors in the bedrooms which makes getting ready quite difficult but this could be easily solved. However, this is the only fault I can find with the Loft. Highly recommended!

  We had a lovely time at no.

  3. It had more than everything we needed for a fantastic stay. It was clean, the bed was lovely and comfy and the wood burner added to the cosy feeling of the cottage. Location was good for walks into Matlock and Matlock Bath. The cottage was a bit cold when we got there but a quick phone call to the owners and the temperature was better (not particularly happy we couldn't control this ourselves and felt we weren't trusted to do so). The hot tub was the best we've ever used, (we have used lots!) big, lovely temperature, powerful jets and so sparkly clean. We used it a lot and it made our stay super relaxed. But if you want privacy this isn't the place for you. We were overlooked in the hot tub by both the neighbours, and the front of the house had nothing to stop people looking directly in to the front door and the big window of the living room unless you shut the curtains, then it was dark. All it needed was net curtains or similar. Because of the lack of privacy, we would not come back to this property.
