High View Cottage is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cosy atmosphere, ideal location for walks and local amenities, and its cleanliness. Guests appreciate the helpfulness of the owner and the cottage's well-equipped nature, despite some noting the absence of a freezer compartment and minor kitchen utensils. The steep stairs have been mentioned as a consideration for those with mobility issues.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is generally described as clean and tidy, with guests noting it was cleaned to a good standard. However, a few mentioned dust and cobwebs, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to local walks, amenities, and the peaceful setting. It is considered ideal by many guests, contributing to a positive experience.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, especially the bed. However, some guests noted the steep stairs and the lack of a freezer compartment as minor discomforts.
While the cottage is well-equipped and guests are satisfied with the amenities, there are several mentions of missing kitchen utensils and the lack of a freezer compartment. Maintenance responsiveness is good, but the absence of certain items has been noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner towards the guests, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

I was a bit worried about being unable to park at the property but only a short walk to and from the car park and I can see that space in Castleton is at a premium! Very little working surface in teh kitchen and I would not have wanted to prepare a meal - luckily we always eat out on holiday. An enjoyable week (apart from the weather!!)

The situation of the cottage is very peaceful with very few cars passing by. We seemed to have all the equipment we needed and were nice and warm considering how chilly April has been.

Has everything you need. Bed was so nice and didnât want to get out. Shower is very powerful which was great. Lovely little hideaway which am sure we will be back.
