The Farmhouse Reviews

Beverley
On arrival we were impressed with the farmhouse it was very clean and spacious the owner Mike was on hand to answer our questions. Two slight niggles there were only 3 pans two medium and one small as we were not cooking on our weekend we didn't use them but I think we would have struggled if we did and also no little extras like a little milk,coffee,tea and sugar would have been nice. The views are lovely and it's a nice place to stay.
For anyone who appreciates delightful, wellmaintained, beautifully appointed, clean and wellequipped accommodation in a stunning rural setting 'The Farmhouse' is the place for you! As a family of seven, including three generations, we all had a wonderful holiday and cannot thank Mike enough for the thought he has put into providing such a lovely place to stay. Jean and Geoff
Excellent weekend at the cottage with friends. Beautiful house, lovely hot tub. Lovely and warm inside. Bedrooms and bathrooms perfect. Beautiful lounge and kitchen area. The owner Mike was very helpful. We will definitely return. Everywhere was very clean.
Lovely house, great size kitchendining roim and fantastic living room. Bedrooms all good sizes and comfy. Hot tub was great. A couple of small points, oven needs a good clean and could do with a few more saucepans when cooking for 8.
Easy to find, in beautiful grounds. The accommodation was beautifully decorated for Christmas making us feel welcome on arrival for our start to family Christmas celebrations. The bedroom and beds were comfortable and the kitchen and lounge spacious. We enjoyed the hot tub. Mike the owner was easy to contact when we had any queries and prompt to deal with any concerns.
Absolutely beautiful property, very spacious and clean. We very much enjoyed bringing in the new year here. Would definitely recommend and return.
Second time at the farmhouse and just as good as the first! Great space, very clean and warm. Just a lovely house to stay in. Hot tub a bonus.
Mike was very friendly and the property is stunning. It could just do with a few personal touches such as tea, coffee and sugar. Most properties we stay at leave a welcome gift such as milk, bread or a bottle of wine for instance just little details. We would definitely stay here again, hopefully when it's not so windy!
Great accommodation in a beautiful rural location. Perfect for our family get away with the dogs. The slow cooker was a brilliant extra touch, ideal for us to use, and go out exploring for the day. Lots of extras that you dont expect to find such as games, cards etc. Host is great also, keeps himself to himself so you can enjoy your break but responsive if you need anything brilliant!
The house was absolutely gorgeous. Some great little touches and very spacious. This was great as we were housebound due to Storm Amy. It was overly warm but we tweaked the heating temperature. There weren't any prosecco glasses so we had to compromise. It could have done with a couple more frying pans as with there being only 1, breakfast was a chore. That said, the house is just perfect for a relaxing stay in the middle of nowhere.
This property is a home away from home. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. Mike is an amazing host and tended to our needs right away, thanks Mike your place is amazing!
Vyvyan
A really lovely place to stay and we felt very welcome. Plenty of space for family and friends. Beds were comfortable and we slept very well.
Michelle
Beautiful property and stunning views, plenty of space, bedrooms modern also lovely big sytlish bathroom, it's everything you need for a break and more, we took the dog he loved it, plus he could run around the garden as it was enclosed. Would definitely book again no doubt.
Had a lovely family get together at the house. Beautiful location, amazing views and lovely house.Beds comfortable , one of the floors needs some attention in the ensuite. Hot tub was a nice addition after a days walk. Outside table and chairs set was not present. Would happily return.
We all had a fabulous stay at The Farmhouse last week, the views couldn't be beaten! Mike was a great host, around to answer all our questions as he lives onsite. There was more than enough space for our group of 7 adults. Beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. If I'm being picky, we would have liked a bigger or second fridge, to store our food and cool our drinks as I said we were a group of 7 adults.
Stayed as a family of six adults and two pooches, from Mon to Fri. Absolutely beautiful setting with a lovely property. Lots of room for everyone and the bedrooms were stylish and comfortable. We had a truly wonderful time utilising local attractions. Mike, the owner, was available at all times and such a nice gent. Highly recommended. The only improvement I would suggest is a larger fridge but a very minor point as we managed. Thank you Mike! X
We had 8 of us and a dog stay and it was perfect. The area is beautiful, enough space for everyone and hot tub was the perfect centre piece. Mike, the owner, is brilliant he was helpful and was available to us if we needed anything. Really great guy! We would definitely choose to come back here. Thanks Mike!
Great cottage , fantastic views and location very helpful friendly owner . Had a great week thank you Mike . Side note the food at the Talbot inn was lovely and its about a five mins in the car.
Barbara
Lovely spacious farmhouse clean & well maintained. Would highly recommend as we had a great family break 4 adults 2 children & 2 dogs. Plenty of places to visit nearby.
This cottage is perfect for a group of 8 to stay comfortably with their dogs. The house comes with the perk of a hot tub, which is clean, spacious and private. Parking is no issue, we had 4 cars and could park easily. Mike the owner was easily contactable and on site if needed. Wonderful views from the house too! Overall we loved our stay herewish we booked for longer than two nights!
The farmhouse was lovely, very comfortable and warm. It was spacious, very clean and had very comfy beds. Mike the host was on hand to help with any problems and his little dog Mitch was a delight. We would love to return.
Heather
We've had a great stay! It was a really comfortable & cosy weekend in the Farmhouse. The property was spacious as were the rooms. The fire in the lounge was a highlight and the hot tub just perfect. Mike was really friendly on arrival and a great host. Thank you!!
What a beautiful property! The Farmhouse is a great place to stay plenty of space, very comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, everywhere was spotless on arrival, log burners, smart TV. The views from the farmhouse are incredible too. We were lucky enough to have stayed after a considerable downfall of snow which just made the break even more cozy, and made using the hot tub even better! The property owner, Mike, lives on the Farm and is a very approachable and helpful guy, from places to eat and drink to even providing us with a sledge to take full advantage of the snow! . Couldn't recommend The Farmhouse more, we will definitely be back in the future.
This is a spacious farmhouse in a great location with spectacular views. It was perfect for a multigenerational and dog Christmas get together, plenty of land and apparently middle of nowhere location that's handy for a village too! Clean, very warm, comfy beds, good parking, fab water pressure, brilliant having boot and utility rooms. Lovely owner. Wonderful Christmas decorations up for us which was an added bonus. Look forward to visiting again when Mike's installed the big fridge! Only things we could see to enhance would be wet room floors would benefit from regrout, knives from sharpening and 1 more sideplate would make a set of 8. It's a stunning place we were sad to leave!
This was our second time staying at The Farmhouse, we booked the same weekend as the previous year for a pre Christmas break. We had just as much a great time as we did there last year. This time it felt like the kitchen was a little less equipped, the knives really need sharpening! And there are limited things to cook with, an oven dish with a lid would be helpful and a jug for making gravy! The oven trays perhaps need to be replaced, they were very well used. The house was clean and warm and the beds are really comfortable. Some properties that you book provide a welcome pack which would be a nice addition, and a drawer with foilcling film is helpful too. But those are just niceties and don't stop you enjoying your stay. We would definitely return.
Simon and Carole
The Farmhouse is set in lovely grounds with great views. On arrival, met by Mike the owner, who was very friendly. The accommodation is very spacious and very warm and comfortable inside. The hot tub was fabulous, lots of different jets and lights and actually lovely and warm. Plenty of towels provided. Would have liked a laminated sheet on how to use the hot tub rather than the laminated sheet of 24 points on what not to do in the hot tub, Mike did show us on arrival but easy to forget. No tea, coffee, milk or any other food related welcome for arrival. Not a problem if your expectations are nothing so you can bring everything. Beautiful log burner, but again no logs at all, just paper in the fire, so again bring your own logs and firefighters if you want a nice fire. All in all a lovely break.
Amazing farmhouse, extremely clean, lovely hot tub, Mike was very helpful, would recommend to anyone.
Lovely old farmhouse, stunning views
Rickie
Lovely cottagehouse in a great setting, well equipped and serviced. Lovely hot tub and seating area. Note front garden is enclosed but dont let your dog loose in there if agile as will be over the wall. Hot tub area is not enclosed. The views are beautiful and paddocks and footpaths to walk. A lovely peaceful haven and base for the StaffDerbys moors and peaks.
Gillian
Excellent property and all amenities you could require. Only thing could do with a spare fridge as with 8 people in a self catering property a 2nd fridge would make a huge difference. Perfect location for a chill but also walks are available .
Teresa
We arrived to see a beautiful farmhouse in the middle of rolling hills and fields with 360views . As three generational family holiday there was something for everyone. Well equipped family kitchen eating area to sit and chat around enjoy good food, drinks and games. All 4 bedrooms are a good size. Can't fault a thing. Mike the owner neighbour so friendly and helpful the 3 grandson loved watching him in the forge. Mitch the dog his righthand helper was always pleased to see us. We had a fantastic week in the Peak District exploring everything we could locally, lots of walking , fun and laughter had by all all, thinks Mike for a very memorable uk holiday.
Amanda
Had a great stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The farmhouse is beautiful, lovely sofas, beds, fully equipped kitchen, great gardens and lots of space around with views to die for. The hot tub is great to have, we were in it in all weathers. Would definitely stay again.
Kerrie
Wonderful setting and a wonderful home that gives you an hug. It is really true that the view changes every five minutes. Made perfect by the host Mike who was extremely helpful
Had a lovely stay, Farmhouse is gorgeous. Mike was very friendly and helpful.
We had a fantastic holiday in the Farmhouse. It is in a beautiful location and Mike the owner is very helpful. We were celebrating my sons 40th birthday and Mike brought over a lovely bottle of champagne which was very much appreciated. The beds are exceptionally comfortable which really helps make a holiday. The HotTub was cleaned daily and we made good use of this even in the rain. The property could definitely do with a bigger fridge as mentioned in previous reviews and we also felt a mop to dry up the utility room floor after using the HotTub would have been very helpful.
Great house, comfortably accommodated 6 of us. Comfortable beds, clean and tidy. Kitchen well equipped. Plenty of parking. Hot tub was great and enjoyed. The hot tap in the main bathroom needs to be fixed and the utility room would benefit from a couple of plug sockets. Also a broom and mop would be handy, floor does get wet when coming in form the hot tub. Only 1 bin bag for the large bin! We enjoyed our week at The Farmhouse, Mike was welcoming and on hand if needed.
Cheryl

Lovely house with brilliant views
