Such a lovely, comfortable, spacious, practical, warm traditional house, bursting with homeliness. The owners live next door and go over the top to add little touches to make your stay special and make the place spotlessly clean and provide a lot of things you need. In my last review I didn't really get to mention much about the area, as it was winter, but this Spring we did some walking and explored the countryside and walked around the reservoirs and on some of the local trails, and it is absolutely stunning! The area is a hidden gem and there are some fabulous walks and far reaching views without even using the car! If you want to drive there are many popular tourist spots not far away, and lovely towns and villages such as Bradfield, Holmfirth, Castleton and Bakewell. Within walking distance there is a pub, and there are supermarkets and shops within walking distance or a few minutes in the car. I've loved staying here and would love to return again.

The peace and quiet was lovely. The house is ideally situated in beautiful countryside, yet a short drive from shops and supermarkets, and walking distance to the village of Bolsterstone with a church and pub. If you want beautiful countryside and hiking, it is on your doorstep along with places of interest to visit, or the City of Sheffield and the Meadow Hall Retail Park are accessible if you want world class shopping. The house has spacious rooms and is clean and warm and well maintained with a well equipped kitchen. There is lots of information provided about the area and books and games to keep you entertained. The furnishings and bedding were very comfortable. Paul and Helen, the hosts, were available should you need any help and were very concerned that everything was perfect for our stay. There were nice touches like milk in the fridge, wine and biscuits and many other things you use in the the home were already there. Christmas decorations were up and it made it really special. There are a couple of steps to remember about as described in the information with a step down into the bathroom but it is the character of the house. I would recommend Nook Farm Cottage and hope to return.
