Shenton Cottage Reviews

The cottage is really lovely and comfortable. The place is one of the best equipped I have been to, the owners have thought of everything you could need from the hairdryers in both rooms, extra light on the dressing table mirror to the shelf by the hot tub to put your drinks on! We enjoyed our stay. I did find the road noise a bit problematic in the mornings waking me up but this is highlighted in the cottage listing so I was expecting it. The walls are thin and neighbours can be heard too. Well located for going into Buxton and exploring the Peak District but if a quiet stay is what you seek it might not be for you. The only thing I would recommend to improve the facilities as such is to have some sockets put into or moved so theyre accessible in the second room upstairs. My friends had to plug their phones and devices in to charge on the landing as they couldnt access sockets in that room which is not ideal. We would go back and have already recommended the cottage to family member we think would enjoy a stay there. Thanks for a lovely long weekend.
A beautifully decorated cottage with a lovely kitchen dining room and comfortable lounge. Plenty of room for myself and two children to relax. Two lovely bathrooms, the shower room was particularly nice. The hot tub in the garden was clean and a really lovely treat to enjoy on the chilly evenings. The owners were very accommodating, even allowing us to check out slightly later. A great little place, I highly recommend!
Shenton Cottage Review A Hidden Gem We had such a wonderful stay at Shenton Cottage! The location is absolutely fantastic, offering both tranquility and convenience. The facilities provided were topnotch, making our stay extremely comfortable. The real highlights for us were the cozy fireplace and the hot tub, which added an extra layer of relaxation to our experience. Highly recommend!
Brigitta
Excellent cottage and lovely stay. We were a bit snowed in but that didn't stop us enjoying Buxton and the local scenery. Our hosts were lovely and very generous. They provided us with a laid fire, wine and scones on our arrival which was a lovely touch. They even provided us with additional logs for the fire given the extreme weather we were experiencing. Any issues we had they were very attentive and helpful. The house itself was cosy nicely furnished with everything you'd need. It was well placed to travel into Buxton and the surrounding areas. The garden and hot tub also had everything you might need albeit the garden was under a blanket of 6 inch snow so we can't comment too much on that!. The house was very warm and the log burner was brilliant at kicking out some heat to warm us up. We did find the living room TV to be a touch slow but it worked adequately. We did feel there needed to be a few more soft furnishings around, such as on the sofa, and some new pillows provided as they weren't the comfiest we have been told by the owner that they plan to replace these asap so that was reassuring and good to know for future stays. All in all we had a fabulous stay and would absolutely recommend Shenton Cottage to others. The owners were lovely and helpful, the local area very beautiful and the cottage a nice, cosy place to stay. We definitely plan to return again.
Joanna
We had a wonderful weekend at the Shenton cottage. It was spotlessly clean and the facilities were fantastic. We really enjoyed the hot tub too. Thank you!
Fantastic cottage, has everything and more then you need. Super cozy and comfortable. A home away from home. Lovely log burner in living room and fabulous hot tub too, both great for relaxing. A nice walk to local town. Hosts were super helpful and there to answer any questions and had a nice welcome of fresh scones. Highly recommend and would go again.
Steven
We stayed for three nights as part of our honeymoon and didn't want to leave. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet home from home with the added bonus of a hot tub. The cottage has everything you need and the pub is a couple of doors away. We would also recommend day trip's to Blackwell and Matlock.
Kristina
Fantastic cottage. Had everything we needed for our short stay, lovely little surprises on arrival for us and our dog.
Excellent venue facilities. Can't fault anything at all. Owners helpful, friendly and accomodating.
Stunning cottage, I defy you to find a better equipped property. Homely touches make it feel more welcoming. High spec finish with an amazing wood burner. Loved every minute
All you could want and more from a cottage for some time away. Very clean & sympathetically extended & modernised keeping its character. Ideally situated on the edge of town, easy to access & park. The hosts are excellent & really good with communication & thoughtful touches to welcome their guests to this well equipped cottage. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this property as a base to explore this beautiful part of the country.

Super cottage, a real home from home. Spotlessly clean, welcome cream tea and wine and a hot tub! The kitchen had everything you would need. Excellent communication from Jane. You can walk into Buxton from the cottage, along the main road. Great location for exploring all the wonders of the Peak District. Happy to recommend to future guests.

And the cream tea was lovely on arrival!

Brittany
This was a wonderfully located cottage. It was warm and cozy and made us feel so homey during our stay. It was also very dog friendly and accommodating to our chocolate lab! Would highly recommend staying here!
Fabulous cottage We keep returning to Shenton Cottage because it earns its 5 stars. It is always very clean, has comfortable beds, a cosy lounge with lovely log fire and a large, wellequipped kitchen. The owners have thought of everything you might need with lots of personal touches. The hot tub is very clean and well maintained. Shenton's location is also ideal for Buxton town and lots of walks in the surrounding Peak District. We have parked our car outside Shenton on every visit with no problem. Finally, the welcome scones, cream, jam and tea all laid out on arrival with complimentary bottle of vino is a great welcome.
Jackie
Lovely cottage which was warm and homely. Hot tub such a treat. Kitchen well equipped. Beds were large and comfy. Not far from exceptional countryside.
Tracey
We had a lovely stay. The cottage had everything we needed and more besides. It was so homely, comfortable and the cream tea and wine on arrival was lovely touch. Great location too. We will be back
What a fantastic cottage, every thing you could ask for. Hot tub was used every day. Lovely homemade scones, wine and doggy treats, great stay.
Victoria
We simply couldn't have asked for any more from this amazing stay at Shenton cottage! Messaged before we arrived and owners got in touch with a speedy reply. Everything was spot on for us and the cottage was very family friendly. There was plastic plates, bowls and cups as well as a selection of adults and children's books, games and colouring books and pencils too. The cream tea, wine, water and sweets for the kids on arrival was a lovely touch. Everything that was provided was carefully thought about to provide guests with all that they needed for the week. Managed to get parked out the front of the cottage and it isn't too far from main Buxton. Lots of lovely shops and a fantastic park in Buxton. There's an Aldi and Morrisons not too far away for shopping. Well placed for lots of days out in Derbyshire. We did venture to Manchester and Bury too as we needed rainy day options for our stay. Would definitely recommend as it's the best cottage we've stayed in.
Great location of the cottage, perfect for us on the outskirts of Buxton. Fantastic facilities and very clean, perfect for our group as we love walking.
Cheryl
