A comfortable cottage for two.

Well modernised bathroom and large kitchen were plus points. Comfortable beds with good duvets. Enjoyed the DVD collection (but there were no subtitles on TV for one hard of hearing guest).

Kitchen equipment took some understanding; we never did master the microwave! There was no plug for the sink so we had to use a piece of plastic to wash up and the flip-flop plug in the wash basin upstairs would not stay down so hands had to be washed under a running tap. It was not obvious in the photos that the cottage is on a busy road with many HGVs. Nowhere safe to go for a stroll.

Really great stay, lovely cottage and clean with all anemitinies. Good location too

Really nice little cottage - spacious and has all amenities.

The only thing I would say is the parking was a little difficult. But overall not an issue

Cozy and Comfortable Weekend Stay

Comfortable and quiet. Had everything we needed to make an easy and relaxing stay. The selection of board games and films are great to occupy nights with and the kitchen/bathroom is stocked with just what you need.

We did only have 2 fans for 3 bedrooms so one was left without, making sleep difficult, but we did stay during a heatwave making one of the hottest weekends of the year so cannot be helped. The bedrooms with the fans were cool and comfortable.

cosy comfortable cottage

it was well equipped for our stay and the furniture was very comfortable. The location was perfect for going on walks and things to do in the local town.

parking on the road was okay and other people were doing it, but it would’ve been nicer to have somewhere more secure park

8.0 / 10.0

Very relaxing.

The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed, except a freezer for our ice but I know that this is being rectified. It was so cosy we didn’t venture out the first night. The next day the stroll into and back from Buxton was easy and the fish and chips a few doors away were great. The owner’s communication was fantastic and she was great with every question we asked. There were plenty of towels and the bedding was clean and beds comfy. There is a main road outside but we barely noticed it. We will definitely be back, in fact we didn’t want to leave.

If one of the rooms had twin beds instead of a double but by no means spoilt anything.

Good

Bedrooms were a great size and comfortable.

Needs TLC through out and better cleaning, especially bins inside and out .

5.0 / 10.0

For the purpose of having somewhere to stay while attending a course this accommodation is adequate.

The cottage was reasonable and for the purpose of my visit the location was good. However, it isn't very near the town centre if you're not a seasoned walker and expect to walk to town within minutes.

Communication with the cottage owner was limited. The mattress in the back bedroom could do with an upgrade as it's a bit lumpy and tired. The microwave is basic and doesn't heat food well. The cottage wasn't ready for check-in on arrival.

Dishwasher would have been handy and a lamp for lounge room

Super clean cottage

Great sized cottage for a weekend in Buxton. Super clean and good communication with host.

Not a dislike but just worth noting that there is t designated parking. Wasn’t an issue for us though.

Home at Harpur

Harpur Cottage is a warm and cosy cottage a short drive from Buxton Town Centre. The accommodation comfortably allowed for 5 adults and Tom provided a high chair and cot for the baby. The cottage has a useful porch entry for wet jackets and muddy boots when coming home from walking.

The minimal kitchen utensils called for slightly creative solutions but nonetheless were sufficient for simple meals - bear in mind too that there is no freezer and so any ice cream will have to be eaten in the car on the way home from the supermarket! Parking is on the road directly in front of the cottage and there is just enough space for 2 vehicles. The road is fairly busy however and is quite loud from the 2 bedrooms to the front of the property.

Disappointing

The location of the property was central for the walking we had planned.

We did not feel comfortable leaving the car on the road outside the property, so it was a walk away to find suitable parking. The garden and back yard could do with some attention. The inventory was limited basic equipment like bottle or tin opener were not available.

Lovely cottage

Great location in a quiet village Spacious with modern decoration Great pub nearby with delicious meals Lovely big dining kitchen with cooking and cleaning basics supplied 100% would return

Parking was not ideal but was manageable to find a space on nearby streets Some of the cookware could do with being replaced It would have been nice to have a welcome book with ideas for day trips, takeaway menus etc. Potentially this had been removed due to COVID-19

8.0 / 10.0

Adequate for a long stay, convenient for Buxton and Peak District walks and attractions.

Location is great if you want to do walks/ hikes in the Peak District - 30 mins max to many of the best places, some much closer. If you are going to Buxton for festivals it is close enough to get a taxi or drive. The housing estate opposite has been completed, so no likely disturbance from construction any more. The house is comfortable in the lounge. Bedrooms are small, and at least one bed needs upgrading. Furniture (including beds) is cheap, but at least there are drawers to unpack luggage on a longer stay. TV very good, and Wifi worked well during our stay.

Parking is 'free' but as other reviewers have said, this means parking on the road outside. Not good (busy road, not wide, none of the neighbours park on the road). You will have to find somewhere safer/ bettter, and owner should give better advice. There is only one toilet (in the bathroom). Shower is good. The garden / terrace boasted in the description is exaggerated: the front garden is tiny and facing the busy road, so no pleasure to use. The back of the cottage is a public alleyway down the rear of the terrace of houses. The bins were full during our visit, not at all pleasant. Better facilities for rubbish and recycling needed. Because there is such pressure on UK accommodation currently (after lockdown) the price was sky high, and does not reflect what this property would be worth in normal times. Equipment in the kitchen is basic (no dishwasher, no freezer) so probably not great for those who want to cook. The chippy just along the road is good. The shop great for milk and basics. We did not try the pub.

Cottage

Very comfortable, clean cottage with everything provided that is needed. We had a lovely stay.

There was roadworks going on outside the cottage but it wasn't the fault of the cottage owner.

Beautiful cosy cottage

Lovely decor, clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped.

On a busy road, there’s also a building site opposite so a bit noisy.

7.0 / 10.0

Nice break

Good location, lots of nice walks within a 15 min drive. Good facilities. Good pub at the end of the road (The Parks Inn). Friendly and helpful host. If eating out, would recommend a short drive to The Merchant's yard for the fantastic Sunday roast as well as The Lone Star in Buxton centre followed by a drink at Monk bar!

Beds/mattresses could do with being updated. The lock on the inside door was slightly loose so could do with tightening up. A bit of a freshen up with a lick of paint would improve the place but nice stay nonetheless :)
