The location of the cottage is spectacular. It is central to everything you want to do in Castleton. There's a view of the castle from the single bedroom - a bonus we hadn't expected. The cottage is extremely clean and cozy. The parking lot is conveniently located across the street. Everything we needed - from dishes to laundry tabs - was already in the cottage. Instructions and recommendations supplied by the owners were very thorough and appreciated.

The main sofa needs replacing as the seat cushions have totally collapsed. The sink in the bathroom is barely wide enough for a grown man to stand at and shave or brush his teeth (it's an old building and space is obviously limited so this is an observation rather than a criticism).

Central location Well-supplied and equipped (especially appreciated the washer and dryer) Clean Recently and extensively renovated to a high standard Comfy beds and couches Lots of towels and bedding Cozy

Liked mostly everything Kitchen stools are an awkward height and have no backs

Location was great, restaurants and pubs within walking distance

Absolutely beautiful cottage with all home comforts and more. Lovely surprise of chocolates and fizz drink on arrival. Every aspect of this delightful holiday cottage was fantastic from location to comfort of beds. This is a prize gem of a place, especially loved the super friendly duck who liked to chill out on the private terrace.

Nothing.

Excellent location and very well appointed accommodation. We really loved our stay. Host had left stocks of teabags, coffee, sugar and washing machine capsules which was very helpful. It was possible to walk directly from the house as well as drive to car parks further away. In terms of parking, we found space to park in nearby streets each night. This might be harder in high season. There is a car park more or less opposite the property but costs would have mounted up had we had to pay for the week.

There was no socket in the bathroom suitable to charge my electric toothbrush. Other than that, everything was wonderful !

1. The location was perfect. Close enough to the pubs and shops, but on the edge of the town so not too busy. 2. Within easy reach of the hills. 3. It was nice that there were sandwich bags provided, cling film and loads of other useful kitchen bits and pieces. 4. We lost the back door key and did not get fined for this. 5. The cleaning had been done to a very high standard. 6. There were guides to the area, novels and games in the sitting room. 7. The air was fresh and lovely. 8. People around were friendly but not intrusive. 9. Food is good; shops have all you'd need.

1. I had asked the management company before we booked if there would be a desk upstairs with a view and did not get a correct response. In the event there was not. 2. I had received several messages from Booking.com right up until the last minute saying that there was still a procedure to go through before confirmation. Eventually I phoned the letting agent who said this was probably a mistake by Booking.com. 3. I received a message from the owner via the letting agent inviting me to "have a drink on us." Upon arrival the aforementioned drink was not there. Not that I expected it, but if you're not going to leave it, why mention it? 4. The nicely-bound instruction book is pretty good. However, it assumes that everyone is familiar with an induction hob. I was not, and had to phone up to be told how it works. Why not explain it in the manual? 5. The knob from the cupboard door had come off before we arrived and instead of being fixed on again, it had been put in the cupboard. 6. Phoning the management company is not as easy as it could be. You have to select from a series of numbers. When you get through, it is clear that the team are not familiar with the property. The company also seems to have misunderstood data protection and pointlessly take you through "security" in situations when it is unnecessary to do so. For example, when the staff phoned me back to give me the good news that the owner was not going to charge me for the key, they took me through security again. But no personal data was being exchanged, so no need for security checks. These are all minor quibbles. It was a wonderful stay.

Lovation was fantastic and the place was finished off to a very high standard.

Heating wasnt the best. Upstairs each room had radiator so got very hot but downstairs was underfloor heating so massive temperature gradient so much so we sometimes didnt sit downstairs. Bed wasnt very comfortable, firm mattress and pillows (but that is dependant on individuals).
