Guests say
The Old Stable is consistently praised for its cosy charm, ideal location for walking holidays, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the cottage's warm atmosphere, functional kitchen, and comfortable furnishings. Its proximity to local walks and the village of Edale adds to its appeal, making it a favourite for return visits.
Guests generally find the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-maintained, though there was a single mention of some crockery and utensils not being clean, which slightly impacts the otherwise excellent feedback.
The location is highly praised for its access to local walks, proximity to Edale, and the ability to explore the High Peaks directly from the door, making it perfect for walking enthusiasts.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable, with a spacious bedroom, plenty of storage, and a large couch to relax on. The king size bed is also noted for its comfort.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, with a functional kitchen and well-equipped cottage. However, there was an issue with the oven/microwave not working properly, which suggests a slight need for improvement in maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.
