Bluebell Cottage Reviews

Victoria

A lovely cozy cottage with the added bonus of a hot tub. Well positioned for exploring the area and dog walks from the doorstep. Thank you for a lovely break.

Can't thank Jo enough lovely place to stay. Jo was more than helpful will definitely be coming back next year. Definitely recommend others to stay.

Alfonso

Ian was a great host. The location was perfect. However, a couple of recommendations Mattress too soft needs replacing. Lack of cupboard space for food in kitchen Could do with additional plates and cutlery. Shower needs some attention Mold on shower tray Shower door kept coming off rail at bottom. Apart from that we had a a great stay friendly people on site.

Probably could do with a new mattress but been twice & certainly would book again

Matthew

Had a lovely stay for the 2nd time round! Beautiful views, Great location, Amazing hot tub and owners were very friendly and welcoming. Only negative is the mattress wasn't comfortable. The owners supplied us with a mattress topper to take the edge off which was very kind of them!

Had a really relaxing break, despite the weather. The covered hot tub was a blessing and was used a LOT!!! Well proportioned, clean and well provisioned accommodation in lovely surroundings. Would certainly recommend and would come back again.

Hayley

Had such a lovely relaxing stay. Made our anniversary special. The cottage itself is beautiful and love how you've kept certain things to show the age of the place. It was so cosy and comfortable and the hot tub was a nice little extra feature to help you relax. I have always been scared of sheep but staying here also helped me overcome my fear. Even had a little visit from the owners dog and all I can say is what a handsome boy. The only thing I would say needs to have a slight change is the steps to the hot tub. I would suggest a slip mat on them as the steps become quiet slippy as you get out of the hot tub.

Rebecca

This was our first time at Bluebell cottage It was clean and very cosy. Lovely for a little romantic and relaxing getaway. The hot tub was the main reason we booked this cottage and we absolutely loved it. 1010 all round!

Perfect in all aspects, and friiiendly owners

New mattress and larger sofa

The cottage was everything we were hoping for. It was clean, equipped, cozy and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Great for a little romantic and relaxing getaway. One tiny bit of criticism is, there was no cheese grater, which made a funny task of trying to finely dice cheese. Overall, I would give Bluebell Cottage a 1010 and would highly recommend it to anyone.

An amazing stay! ! Beautiful cottage with all the facilities we needed to enjoy homemade dinners after soaking in the hot tub posthikes. Owners were very responsive and helpful. Very good location for seeing the Peak District.

Such a beautiful place with beautiful views and the owners were so lovely. The only thing that failed the stay was the old thin spring mattress. The bed needs to be comfy when staying away and was such a disappointment. Other than that was brilliant. There is a workshop right next to the bedroom which woke us up early and there is also a train that passes every 6 minutes that stops at 11ish and starts at 5am ish. But once again still a beautiful place and the hot tub was the best Ive stayed.

We had another wonderful stay this time in Bluebell Cottage Last time in ... We had another wonderful stay this time in Bluebell Cottage Last time in Woodland Lodge only upgrade it could do with is a better mattress and New longer sofa but all these upgrades take time when you have 3 properties to maintain Joanne & Ian looked after us very well it was a pleasure to be there nothing was too much trouble looking forward to our next stay Thankyou xx

Joanne

Had a fantastic stay recently, perfect setting so relaxing, everything in the cottage was clean. Communication with owners was fabulous. Would highly recommend

Darren

Lovely cottage. Great location for walkers

The cottage was so amazing we had a great time. Especially likes the fairy lights above the hot tub, made it feel more relaxing. Views around the cottage were exceptional, such a nice area. And the Owners, Ian & Jo, were the perfect hosts. nothing too much trouble for them before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Andrew

Other than a few more kitchen utensils a decent bread knife etc, everything was great. Thanks

Loved our stay here so much we booked a repeat stay as soon as we got home , ... Loved our stay here so much we booked a repeat stay as soon as we got home , It was just what we needed , Hot tub was fantastic, Cannot fault any part , cant wait to get back , Keep up the good work

Charles

Lovely cottage perfect for getting away from everyday life and relaxing. The hot tub was just fabulous after one of the many walks around the area or visits to the historic sites and villages. Will be putting it on my list to book again in the future, thank you for a wonderful week.

Sandra

A wonderful stay

Karolina

Gorgeous cottage in a peaceful and tranquil location. Very friendly owners and relaxed atmosphere. Perfectly balanced and well equipped.

Our second visit to this lovely cottage. If youre looking for a peaceful break you wont be disappointed.

The cottage is lovely and private with very good facilities. The hot tub is sheltered with a nice wooden roof and a wall making it very private and still lovely to use in the rain. The cottage and the outside is particularly dog friendly with an outside warm water tap, secure gates and even a dog waste bin. The area also worth exploring with lots of country walks and nearby little towns. Had we found the Bluebell cottage welcome book with all its useful information sooner rather than on the very last day of our stay it was trucked away in the basket on the floor we would have explored the area even more! Overall highly recommended.

Caroline

The cottage was beautiful and very well maintained. The furniture was also high standard with all possible extras like file of places to eat and DVDs in the draw. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was easy to find and use. Would go again, it was private and we took our dog who settled straight away. We also had the luxury of leaving the door open with the added peace of mind that he couldn't get out. P.s We didnt use the grill but i did clean it anyway!

Had a fantastic stay at the cottage & definitely will be back the owners are such accommodating nice people which just made the whole experience very enjoyable.

Stuart

We had a lovely weeks holiday at Bluebell cottage. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and very well equipped, and the surrounding area was amazing and very peaceful. As for the hot tub well what can I say it was very relaxing and a bonus. The owners were very nice people always available if you needed anything and payed great attention to adding cleaner to the hot tub on a regular basis. It was such a lovely relaxing week and went too fast. My little border terrier sulked for a day when we got home because he loved the walks from the cottage.

Patricia

This was a beautiful cottage lovely and clean. .bed very comfortable and the hot tub was very welcoming after a day out walking. The only negative was that there were no windows in the bedroom which could open so the room was very hot, the windows were all fixed so no openings. Lovely walks all around, and there was a lovely picnic area and bbq area adjoining the cottages

Michael

Great place, would recommend it anytime.

A beautiful cottage to stay in plus the luxury of a fantastic hot tub. All set in the fabulous grounds of the owners. Peaceful and totally relaxing.

Perfect holiday cottage have already recommended to a friend who wants to stay later this year

A lovely property lovely outlook and so peaceful

Lovely homely cottage, hot tub was great, very dog friendly and secure. Great quiet location for visiting the area. We will definitely return.

Valerie

We had the best time. Everything we needed in the cottage , Shame we didnt get to meet the hosts though,

Our 2nd visit to Bluebell cottage but definitely not our last. Such a cosy place to stay and in a lovely area. Everything you need for a comfy stay in the cottage, comfy bed too. The hot tub is fantastic too
