Beautiful cottage, very high standard of decoration and cleanliness.

The location is perfect for walking and visiting the local village which has tea rooms and bars. The cottage is second to none and the hosts are so accommodating. We were made to feel so welcome and were given eggs and a homemade cake as a welcome. We will definitely return. Highly recommended.

Beautiful homely property with everything you need

This was a perfect house for our weekend stay. The house was clean and well presented with everything we needed. Cath gave us all the info we needed andhelped with directions and bonfire advice for the weekend. It was only a few minutes walk into town where there were a few shops, eateries and pubs. We loved the area and house and would return again. Perfect for a Peaks getaway.

PERFECT PET FRIENDLY PROPERTY IN THE PEAK DISTRICT

We were extremely fortunate in the weather and so were able to make the best of the wonderful views. The location is perfect for walking the dogs, and there is the benefit of the enclosed garden. Inside the house, it is spacious, very comfortable and very well equipped. Look forward to returning. Sylvia & David

Absolutely fantastic property

What an amazing property with stunning views and easy access into New Mills town centre and other locations by car or train. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and left us gifts of home made raspberry blondies and fresh eggs from the farm. The cottage was spotless, comfortable, well decorated and well equipped with everything you could possibly want during your stay. We had our family dog with us who absolutely loved the garden area and fantastic walks on your doorstep. I will definitely be back and would not hesitate in recommending to family, friends and anyone wanting to visit the Peak District. Thank you so much for your hospitality Cath and David

Lovely cottage - immaculate and has everything you'll need

I live close by to this cottage and I rented it for my brother and his family who were coming up from London for a long weekend. It is immaculate, really well-appointed and finished to a very high standard, and it felt really spacious. I wished I was staying in it too! The kids loved the animals and were very appreciative of the freshly baked cake and the eggs that Cath left for them. I think they were amazed to see eggs of different sizes and colours. I would highly recommend this lovely cottage for a holiday. It's ideal for people who love walking, cycling, and fresh air and it gives easy access to the Peak district in one direction and the nightlife of Manchester in the other.

Perfect location for Peak District and Manchester

The cottage is very attractive, well appointed and in a lovely location. The photographs do not do either the property or views from it justice and therefore, although we were looking forward to staying there, it was a pleasant surprise that everything was even better than we had anticipated. It is light, bright and spacious and very well equipped and provides a perfect home from home. The house book provides complete information on restaurants, places to visit and also walks around the area. The walks are well worth doing as the area is beautiful and on foot is a great way to see it, as well as being a very good form of exercise with all the hills! New Mills has two train stations, with one being only ten minutes walk away at the bottom of the hill into town. In 30 minutes you can be in Manchester or in 45 minutes Sheffield. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Dave made us feel very welcome. We hope to be back some day and can recommend it as a great place to stay without hesitation.

Incredible, clean, well appointed rental property for our family of 6

We stayed in the connected farmhouse a few years ago and were excited to see that the barn was completed. It's a beautiful property perched on the brow of of a hill with a private drive and a small pen of animals and stables and fields with horses. The bedrooms were perfect for us, our 2 x 6 year olds and our 2 x2 year old boys but we brought our own gate and bed rails for the single beds. We lived in the kitchen when we were there with it's 6 seat kitchen table, a sofa and an island with stools to congregate. It was the first room we saw and a pleasant surprise greeted us since Cath had made us a sponge cake and left us half a dozen eggs from the chickens. The canisters in the kitchen had tea bags and sugar and cupboards had all the tools we needed to cook dinners. Heated floors were a nice surprise too - from the photos of the tiles I ended up bringing my slippers but had no cause to wear them since the floors downstairs were so warm, as were the rooms in general so no need for wearing a sweater in the house. The fenced garden off the kitchen door was great too for the 2 year old boys to charge around in a safe grassy area before walking over to animals to look for eggs. Can't recommend the farm enough! We'll be back...

New Mills Hidden Gem!

Our family of 5 (13,16,16, 2-adults) had a great experience! Dave and Cath we VERY responsive to all questions, and the home was perfect. They live on a great hobby farm with lots of animals to see. Perfect 5min walk to a cute small town including: grocery, meat market, coffee, and great shopping, great views, excellent hospitality (and the farm fresh eggs and brownies we delish!). For the golfers, there’s even an excellent 18 hole golf course 5 minutes away! Don’t miss out on this rental!

A lovely find

We had a lovely break with friends in this superb cottage. Beautiful location and lovely views. Lovely walks just out from the cottage over the Peaks. Cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped, everything we wanted and more! Perfect for us and our dogs! We’d recommend the local Italian- delicious pizzas to take away. Owners were very helpful and discreet. The welcome pack included a delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake which was amazing!

It was a lovely chilled out weekend, watching films, playing games and walks to the pub! Can definitely recommend the food at the fox inn! We would happily return in a heartbeat.

Superb stay

This break was booked unbeknown to me as my birthday present for this year enabling me to be together with my children and their partners after they hadn’t seen each other since Christmas 2019. The accommodation is excellent in every respect and the welcome from David on arrival was lovely. Having our own private garden with superb view was fab - and the garden chairs and picnic bench meant we were able to enjoy being outside relaxing and dining “al fresco” every day. Fresh eggs and home baked strawberry flapjack on arrival, fresh flowers in the kitchen and so many personal touches to make it a truly memorable stay. We hope to be back - there’s no better recommendation than that.

We loved the property and Cath and Dave were friendly but also allowed us our privacy. We visited with my elderly parents so the walk from the cottage to the town was too much for them but would be fine for the more able. Beautiful views and very comfortable accommodation.

Lovely short break in the Hogh Peaks

David and Cath made us feel extremely welcome. The accommodation was warm (2 degrees outside), very clean and well equipped. Views from the cottage were stunning and we found the local town had a rich history. Great nearby walks but the highlight was spending the day in Hayfield and walking the Snake path in beautiful sunshine. We wished we had more time to explore, and walk further. Highly recommended.

Stunning accommodation, great location and wonderful hosts

I don't usually write reviews but just had to after our stay at this cottage at New Mills, High Peak. The cottage really is beautiful, the best short-stay break accommodation we have ever stayed in. It has been well thought out and we particularly loved the galleried lounge on the first floor. It's finished to a high standard and was spotless. It felt as though everything had been thought of, but if it hadn't, I'm sure the owners would magically provide it! The owners are lovely, really welcoming and friendly. The cakes and eggs (and another surprise loved by our daughter!) were delicious and appreciated, thank you. In terms of location, there were plenty of suggestions in the Welcome Pack. We did two walks during our stay and there was plenty to see. It is a beautiful location. The Pride of the Peaks had a great breakfast menu and is a short walk from the cottage. We will definitely return. Thank you xx

Wow! Was not expecting that amazing view

LOVED LOVED LOVED our time at High Peak. Was everything we wanted and needed it to be for a family celebration/get together for xmas. Cath was so helpful from the moment we booked and we had a lovely cake gifted to us on our arrival. The cottage itself was ideal for us, a family of 4, a couple and 2 dogs. Ample space. Everyone said we’ll be going back..but for longer next time! :-)
