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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful location great cottage super host

We enjoyed a half term break here with our dog and electric car. Mark put in a socket to enable us to charge our car overnight - brilliant! The cottage had everything we needed and was comfortable and warm. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with good walks straight from the front door and we enjoyed the local honesty café.

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.

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.

Excellent location with amazing scenery and wildlife on the doorstep

Excelllent location but property was a bit tired in places. It was lovely and warm with plenty of hot water. The grill only worked intermittently and there was a shortage of sharp knives. The main issue we all had were the mattresses on the beds and the fact we all had to take our own sheets and towels. Whist appreciating the current situation most rentals simply ask you to strip the beds and put all linen in a bag to go for laundry. We would still stay here again and hope the comments are received as helpful.

Sweet little cottage.

Everything we needed for a short stay. The owner was very responsive when we reported a few glitches and fixed it the next day, and was very friendly. Furnishings were basic but adequate - it’s not the priciest place to stay! The cottage itself is very pretty inside and out - but a little more attention to cleanliness wouldn’t have gone amiss, especially in these Covid times. Nothing terrible - just dust under furniture and dirty mirrors and cupboard handles etc. A whizz round with antibacterial sprays etc made us feel better but I would have preferred not to feel I needed to do that. The China, cutlery etc was all very clean and shiny - no problems there. All in all, a pleasant stay in a beautiful location.
