  Unfortunately we do not recommend a stay at Appletree Cottage.

  The main reason for this is the beds. The double bed has a foam mattress. Only this is so sturdy that it literally feels like you're lying on a board. We therefore moved to the other bedroom halfway through the first night. However, the mattresses in this room are not much better. High in the middle because of the springs, only a few centimeters thick on the sides. So every time you turn over you practically roll out of bed. As a result, you don't really get a good night's sleep. The cottage itself has been refurbished and decorated with much love and attention. Yet you notice that the owner himself has never camped there for a week, because there are quite a few points that could be improved. • There is a smart TV in the living room, but it will not connect to the WiFi in any way. So watching Netflix is not an option. • The central heating is off in the summer. But that also means that the towel rail in the bathroom is off, so towels don't dry and you have to dry off with wet towels. • There are not enough plates, so you actually have to run the dishwasher every day because you keep getting wrong, especially on plates. The cylinder of the front door is loose and the closing mechanism of the front door does not feel very reliable.

  We have stayed here before at both cottages.

  They are in a great area for walking, so much around. Great selection of pubs if you want to eat out or socialise lots. On this occasion we were happy to cook and stay away from lots of people. Ample shops for gorgeous fresh bread, cakes and the staff are really friendly and welcoming which is great. The cottage is lovely and doing yoga looking out at the hills a great bonus. Appreciated the food hamper left for us, thank you very much made us smile. I can't think of much negative thoughts just 2 points. I personally could not lock the door from the outside as a problem with the lock. We did mention it and it was not sorted before we left so hope it mended soon. If my husband wasn't there although a safe village would not appreciate leaving it unlocked whilst out. We have always found the parking fine as we don't use the car all week so need to chat with other cottage. Have always found them nice and agreeable. Thanks for a great week Regards Janet and Steve

  The big issue is parking.

  The Bulls Head is listed on the website, and in the visitor information book in the cottage, as somewhere to park, and to leave keys. However, when we left our car there, and notified a member of staff as a matter of courtesy, they were not happy. We didn’t understand why until we spoke to the owner who confirmed they no longer own the pub. There is space for two cars outside the cottage but only by blocking one car in; we had to discuss with the people next door when they would be coming and going and, as they were there first, we moved our car to accommodate them. It is almost impossible to park in the village at weekends as it is so busy. The gas fire doesn’t work (waiting for parts) but the central heating is efficient. On a positive note, the cottage is spacious, comfortable and clean; the shower is powerful, the bed extremely comfortable and there was a plentiful supply of dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, tea towels etc.

  I needed to stay in the Castleton/Hope area for a charity walk for work. After leaving it a bit late to book accommodation, I found this pub at a reasonable price for two nights. We arrived at 7pm, it was easy to find and check in was super easy. The pub was not too busy. Our room (room 3) was suitable for the stay and was as described. The host provided us with additional pillows, milk, and loo roll. We could hear the noise of the people in the pub and outside until about 11pm and then it died down. We had dinner at the pub and the food was absolutely amazing, although it took an hour to arrive at the table after chasing it up. Check out was easy Sunday morning. The pub seemed very quiet and we decided to go for breakfast elsewhere. Overall a satisfactory stay, and perfectly fine for the overnight stay we needed for a walk in the Peak District.
