Beautiful location. All the basics provided. Limited parking. Dog not allowed on grassed garden. Property needs some maintenance.

Dogs are allowed on the lawn but because families bring small children we ask that they don’t do their toileting on the grass. The repairs you kindly pointed out have been fixed.

Large property in a delightful village. Excellent location for walking Chrome Hill and surrounding area. Great communication with owner who promptly fixed the missing forks issue! No immediate parking, but you can park opposite and see your car from the window. Local pubs were good and we went to Alton Towers for the day too (30 mins) and Luds Church is worth the walk too. We ould recommend property for families (5 single beds, which was unusual and handy!) but perhaps not super ideal if you have dogs too (we left ours at home on this occasion) as small front garden only with a low wall and a yard and the owners have requested that dogs go toilet somewhere else, which is fair enough but could be a pain in the middle of the night! Just as heads up! All in all a lovely property in a lovely village thank you!

Amazing stay, perfect for a relaxing time

The house and host were fantastic we had such a good time! It sits in a lovely quiet village that has a wonderful honesty shop a short walk away. The host was incredibly helpful and made us feel very welcome. Surrounded by beautiful views and great areas to walk. We had a short stay but it was perfect!

Fell in love with this property, feels like home. It has everything one needs. We loved the window shutters, comfortable sofas, great kitchen. Only thing missing is a double bed.Hollingclough is simply stunning, we hope to return next year.Ideal for local walks and the nearby villages have some adorable pubs ready to quench ones thirst after a long days hike.We recommend climbing the dragons back.

Since you last came to the cottage has had a new heating system, new hot water system, new beds in one of the bedrooms, different sofa and chairs, and is always given a thorough three hour clean between tenants. However, I apologise if you think it wasn't done well enough and I will point this out to the person who does it. Thank you for coming.

Hadn't realised no onsite parking and had to move the car away from the house so was a bit of a pain with the other vehicles who parked to go walking , lovely little cottage a bit tired in areas but was a perfect getaway spot for some much needed r and r ,there was wifi so we we're able to use our own apps on our telephones to use the tv . The area is absolutely beautiful and the Chapel tearooms over the road was the most amazing afternoon tea I've ever tasted and highly reccomend they so like to have 48hours notice to do but you will not be disappointed.

Back from a lovely, relaxing Christmas escape. Property was comfortable and served us very well. The nearby honesty shop was charming and the walks were spectacular.Landlord kindly popped out after the first night to take a look at the bed, table lamp and outside light.A few elements were a little tired and in need of attention... Fridge shelves missing, freezer drawers cracked, dishwasher button stuck on (could still use), toaster lift lever broken. Nothing that stopped us from making full use of the property but little irritations... But the price was extremely reasonable so that's a trade off.

Disappointing

We frequently stay in holiday properties and so know what you can get for £140 / night and sadly this was not up to the standards we would expect. The cottage is lovely, in a lovely sertting but it is very damp with mould around the windows and mildew on the curtains. It was not clean, the tiles in the bathroom were mouldy, under the furniture were dead woodlouse and other remnants of insects, cobwebs everywhere and the lavatory off the main bedroom was very poorly cleaned. The beds were very comfortable but the bedding felt damp. There are no instructions on how to heat the water. The house does have heating but this is controlled remotely by the host which isn't a viable option if you get in late or the weather is variable. The garden is overgrown and the lawn unkempt. The house is a good base for walking in the area, but not somewhere you would wish to spend time in. We ate out every evening and spent time playing cards and games at the local Buxton Brewery taproom just to avoid going back to the house. It just needs a lick of paint, constant low level heating for the damp and a proper clean and it would have been ideal.

We are sorry you were disappointed. The cottage has been redecorated since this review, (see new pictures) and the cleaner has been changed. The heating can be set to any time required and the hot water is heated up four times a day. We don’t usually mow the lawn in the winter but we note you thought the garden was unkempt.

Lovely cottage and with excellent, helpful owners who accommodated the second couple who came with my wife and I. Nice big bedrooms, cool in the hot weather and right near Chrome Hill. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone.

Mooie authentieke cottage

We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad in Vicarage cottage. Het huis is erg gezellig en het was ruim genoeg voor ons gezin van vier. De omgeving is werkelijk prachtig! We hebben Chrome Hill beklommen, echt een aanrader. En ook de Honesty Shop op loopafstand was een grote plus. Heerlijke ijsjes!

Thank you for coming. It was lovely to meet you. Translation (Google) of your review to English for the website reads as follows We had a very nice stay at Vicarage cottage. The house is very cozy and it was spacious enough for our family of four. The environment is really beautiful! We climbed Chrome Hill, highly recommended. And the Honesty Shop within walking distance was also a big plus. Delicious ice creams!

Wonderful location and stunning views

A lovely cottage in an idyllic location in the middle of nowhere! You can walk from the to Chrome hill or further afield. We loved the honesty shop 400m away too. Just need a few more cutlery, water glasses and a new fridge freezer but we managed. Would come again!

Cosy base for our stay in a stunning area

My family and I (including two teenage daughters) and our dog have just spent a delightful week in Hollinsclough and Vicarage Cottage was the perfect base for our stay. Clean, cosy and with everything we needed for days out walking the stunning surrounding countryside or cosying up when the weather wasn't great! Perfect mix of practicality and quirky charm. My daughters loved the fact that the WiFi was more than up to speed! And we all enjoyed the games room and DVD selection to pass the wet weather days. We were never cold in the cottage despite it being a particularly cold week - and our two year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was very happily settled too - we used the fire grate across the stairs at night and he was only too happy to stick to his own dog bed! Already planning a return visit as there's so much in the area that we would love to explore. Great communication with the property owner too from start to finish 😊

Great location, needs a deep clean

This is a great spot for a short stay with wonderful walks from the doorstep and a very peaceful atmosphere. The place is comfortable and meets all basic needs, the only qualm was that the kitchen and bathroom really do need a proper deep clean as it doesn't look like that's been done for a quite some time. Made us feel a bit sick at times. Otherwise, a great little cottage.

Peaceful location

The cottage was very warm and welcoming in beautiful, peaceful countryside. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to get away from it all but with amenities close by in the neighbouring village.
