Guests say
Woodthorpe Cruck Cottage receives high praise for its peaceful location, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches like a welcome basket. Guests enjoy the hot tub and the property's character, though some mention minor issues with comfort and maintenance. The rural setting offers tranquillity and proximity to local amenities and attractions in the Peak District.
Most guests found the cottage spotless and well-maintained, contributing to a high cleanliness score. However, a few mentioned issues with food residue on dishes and odours from drains, slightly affecting the overall score.
The cottage's secluded, peaceful setting with easy access to local amenities and attractions in the Peak District is highly appreciated by guests, resulting in a near-perfect score for location.
Guests generally find the cottage cosy and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and warm interiors. Some discomfort from leather settees and outdoor furniture, along with creaky floorboards, leads to a slightly reduced score.
The property's facilities, including a hot tub and well-equipped kitchen, are well-received. However, maintenance issues like a loose toilet and dated appliances, along with suggestions for improvement, result in a good but not excellent score.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome touches such as fresh bread, milk, and biscuits. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it's important to note that such personal touches, although common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Visited lots of places from here including Chatsworth House, Heights of Abraham, Dovetale Stepping Stones, Mam Tor and Peak Wildlife Park. The cottage was well equipped, very comfortable and the hot tub was great after a busy day. The welcome box was also a lovely addition. Just remember to take a shaver adapter for shaver or electric toothbrush. Luckily we took manual brushes too. Would definitely return if visiting the area again or recommend to friends and family.
