Host & Stay - Well Farm Cottage

The kitchen table could do with some attention. Like sanding and revarnishing.

Location cozy and comfortable

Good location. Very good pub just across the road. The property was very well equipped. The kitchen had everything that we needed.

The property was close to a main road.

Beautiful cottage, well presented and opposite a fabulous pub, the Greyhound, who were very helpful and friendly. Perfect for young couples with no pets, children or mobility issues.

The original instructions received via booking.com with a map location did not direct us correctly and we had to call the Host and Stay phone number listed to get more precise instructions. For a so called 'dog friendly cottage' we were put off when first stepping into the cottage to see a sign limiting the dog to downstairs. We have a non allergenic SEN dog and highly allergic family members. It was obvious that pets had previously been upstairs and not cleaned well as we struggled with our allergies. Lesson learned for booking a dog friendly cottage on our side. Due to the cottage being on the main A61 road to Chesterfield the traffic noise was horrific, especially at night, and I had to sleep downstairs on the sofa with the dog in his bed. We were disappointed 😞 by our stay as we were looking forward to staying in a quaint old cottage like we used to own. For the location it needs better sound insulation/secondary glazing. Take earplugs! Not recommended for pet owners or anyone slightly immobile. On one recommendation to the cottage owner - we have stayed in cottages/rentals all around the world - adding that extra bit like handsoap in the bathroom, a set of extra bedding in case its needed, and better communication, could make a huge difference. Be honest about pet rules in terms and conditions/information when booking, as well as mention the narrow stairs and high sided bath/shower..
