Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property to be lovely and clean, with only a few isolated comments about cleanliness issues. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, indicating a generally high standard of cleanliness.
The property's location in the Peak District & Derbyshire Dales is highly praised for its beautiful surroundings and peacefulness. Guests enjoyed the proximity to walks and reservoirs, though some noted the hilly terrain.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the property warm. However, some guests felt that the social spaces and seating were not sufficient for larger groups, impacting the overall comfort score.
Facilities like the hot tub, sauna, and pizza oven are appreciated, but there are mentions of maintenance issues such as Wi-Fi strength, and some guests had difficulties with the hot tub heating. The facilities are generally good, but there is room for improvement.
Guests frequently mentioned a thoughtful welcome pack, which added to their positive experience. While such gifts are appreciated, it's important to note they are not guaranteed and may vary.
About this property

Beautifully decorated and furnished throughout to create a wonderful warm and welcoming environment, this lovely cottage is perfect for families or friends looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet it is only two miles away from the vibrant town of Stocksbridge.

This property does have a beautiful Shepherd's Hut in its garden that can be used in conjunction with the cottage to accommodate two extra guests in a full-size double bed, plus it has its own shower room, toilet and tea/coffee making facilities for that early morning cuppa. Outside the cottage there is a large terrace with beautiful countryside views and a fantastic electric jacuzzi & sauna just perfect for relaxing in after a busy day out and about. It also has the benefit of use of your own private wood-fired pizza oven and charcoal barbecue. The small village of Bolsterstone, is just a 10-15 minute walk away and benefits from a local pub should you fancy a night off from cooking, and nearby Stocksbridge also has a number of shops and pubs. From this beautiful cottage you can access the Peak District National Park for long rambles across breathtaking open countryside, sample some of the country's grandest stately homes by visiting Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, or you may wish to indulge in some retail therapy at the nearby Fox Valley shopping centre or Meadowhall Retail Park in Sheffield with its 230 shops and 50 places to eat and drink. A fantastic holiday home, surrounded by stunning local landscape and breathtaking views, and due to its fabulous amenities and location can be enjoyed all year round.
The village of Bolsterstone stands between the Stocksbridge and Ewden Valley, on the border of the Peak District National Park and is one of the last remaining hill villages in the Sheffield area.

Pheasant lane is nothing short of amazing, the only problem we have now is choosing which one to stay in next as all on pheasant lane look fantastic! Communications were excellent, the garden very safe and secure for our dog who loved it, arrival hamper was of the loveliest quality and the hot tub well maintained with little intrusion. On top of that, you could stay put and walk everywhere all week and not get bored of the surroundings! Simply perfect. Thank you so much!

Oven really dirty - grill and oven door heavily stained - food debris in 3 drawers - cutlery utensil tray also had food in it and several utensils caked in food. Kitchen bin also dirty. Fridge and freezer in desperate need of a defrost and some of our food was ruined as everything soaked in water. Window ledges have collection of dead insects showing lack of deep clean for some time. Pizza oven and BBQ also unusable due to not being clean also wasazahing machine drawer has mould in it . Sauna never reached a hot enough temperature due to holes in structure. Main bedroom floor bath mat really hazardous due to tiled floor and unsuitable for children and elderly - slipped several times. Asked for call from owners to discuss - never materialized. What's frustrating is apart from the kitchen bin and the fridge all these things have been flagged in previous reviews . Cant see how 8 adults could comfortably exist as space small albeit as seen in the pictures. Would not recommend or return
