What our customers say about their holidays

  We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pine Cottage.

  It had a lovely cozy feel to it, a well stocked kitchen, and an adequate bathroom. The views though were outstanding, with a lovely patio area to sit & eat, or simply just to sit & relax. The outside tap was an added bonus to clean the walking boots at the end of the day. Also the parasol provided, which you don't often get, will be very welcome in the warmer months as I'm sure the patio will be quite a sun trap. It's great to have a parking space right outside too. Our only bugbears really were the sofa not being very comfortable. At the end of a long walk, you need something to sink into ...that sofa wasn't it! The bottom sheets on the beds don't really fit the mattresses & could be of better quality. We were surprised the cottage didn't have a proper shower, but in fairness we still had good hot showers regardless. The cleaners missed quite a few cobwebs here and there & under the bathroom sink left staines where the cleaning products are kept. There was a slight smell of dog briefly but not too bad. It would definitely require a regular deep clean. Little things, little improvements. We have certainly enjoyed our stay here , so much so, we've booked again and hopefully we'll have a little less rain. Thank you!!

  This was our second visit to Pine Cottage.

  We really love staying there and will do so again. Any criticisms are minor, as it’s very tidy, unfussy, clean and comfortable and suits us very well. It’s the patio and the view from the patio that is the big sell, as is the option to take a pet. Sitting out there in the evening, listening to the birds, and admiring the view, is a huge pleasure. It’s still safe for pets though since the patio has been updated and improved, the area is barer, with less planting. (There are now a couple of gaps that a little dog, unsupervised, might wriggle through.) We did also miss the plants and thought a few bushes might soften the harder garden features? I suppose upkeep is the thing. It’s still a lovely, calm, surprisingly private-feeling space. The light still streams in through the east-facing bedroom window at dawn. We were prepared and had popped a blanket over the curtain pole. A light blocking blind or curtains would solve the problem. I think better quality bed linen and kitchen equipment would be great, but we understand it’s a holiday cottage. Everything you need is provided and it’s all absolutely fine. I will be booking again for next year’s Well Dressings.

  Another lovely stay at Pine Cottage for the Well Dressings.

  The cottage suits us very well, especially when we have good weather and can enjoy the terrace. It is absolutely wonderful, on a June evening, having a drink, enjoying the view, and watching the birds overhead. We find the beds comfortable, though we bring our own pillows, and now that light-blocking curtains have been added we sleep well. The kitchen has everything we need. We cook Sunday dinners in there. The front room is still lacking in comfort not provided by the large number of cushions that have appeared but we’ll book again, for next year, as the positives outweigh all that. It is super clean and housekeeping contacted us this year to ask how we wanted the beds which was appreciated. We were also very pleased to be allowed to stay for an extra night at a very reasonable cost. Thank you.

  A marvellous week, weather blisteringly hot, views from the cottage to die for.

  A real sun trap from the rear, but could do with a bigger parasol...it didn't have a base either. We really enjoyed it but unfortunately the whole cottage smelt very strongly of dogs. We're very sorry but we had to use the bed throws on the sofa because it stank & we didn't want our clothes to smell. It was very off putting...great to take your dogs on holiday, but don't let them lay on the furniture. We found a fabreeze spray, but there was very little in it & there wasn't any cleaning sprays or domestos in the cottage, unlike last time. Thank you for the extra cushions but it didn't make the sofa anymore comfortable, it needs a new one. The bed is firm but we managed to sleep well...when it cooled down! We really would like to stay again, but please sort out the dog odours.

  We had a great stay.

  Directions accurate. Entry by key safe. All clean and tidy on arrival. Lovely location, quiet, we were not disturbed by the neighbours. The village had great amenities despite its small size. We were quickly on a footpath and could walk to the river from the property. There was additional parking available in the village car park. The property had all the basic amenities we needed. The instructions asked us to take our recycling waste to local recycling centres however we could not find the one mentioned in Bakewell. Oven gloves and tea towels were provided and there was also a DVD player and selection of games which were not mentioned on the listing so that was a nice surprise. Excellent value for money, but not a luxury stay.
