Monk's Cottage Reviews

Leslie
Monks Cottage is a lovely, comfortable cottage, well appointed with everything one might need and in a good location for visiting and travelling the Peak District. The one drawback is the parking space. If you have anything above a small car then the parking space is very tight and some may find it very difficult to access or exit.
Graeme
Lovely cottage, nicely presented and is equipped with almost everything you will need. Great location too. What would have made it totally perfect would have been a pint of milk in the fridge for arrival!
The neighbours dog was let out atb7am most mornings and kept barking wich woke us up . Was nit best pleased .
We absolutely loved our stay at Monks Cottage. Property and location are great. We really appreciated the hot tub when getting back after long walks. The chilled bottle of fizz in the fridge on arrival was a nice touch when arriving,
Michelle
This cottage is an amazing place to spend the week . We have hiked, open water dipped at 3 shires head and hired ebikes on the monsal trail . Lots to do within a short distance . Buxton itself is lovely with a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants aswell as local walks if you dont want to use the car . We visited the local pub several times on an evening . The nineteenth hole which was a 5 min walk away . The locals and landlady were friendly and we spent time chatting in there and sat in the rear courtyard. The pub is also dog friendly
Angela
Beautiful cottage very well equipped, had everything we needed. Spacious rooms with a cozy feel, kitchen was great. Hot tub very welcoming after long walks exploring the peaks. Buddy and Daisy were best friends instantly !! both being border collies. All in all a perfect set up for a relaxing holiday. Certainly book again. John Ange Sam & Buddy.
Our second stay at the beautiful Monks Cottage. ...couldn't have asked for more from a holiday experience...loved the hot tub, the use of the communal gardens, the wonderful, friendly neighbours and not forgetting Daisy the dog....the property didn't disappoint and we had everything to make our stay exceptional.
A really lovely cottage. Beautiful kitchen, comfortable settee and comfortable beds. Very clean. Very well equipped. Ideally located in a quiet spot for you to travel into Buxton, or any of the surrounding towns, Castleton, Bakewell etc. Parking is tight with a larger car, but not impossible and at least there is parking available. Neighbour was very friendly as was Daisy the dog.
Gina was really responsive to some questions we had and the cottage was perfect for our stay. We loved the hot tub. I would return in a heart beat.
Lovely property and well located. Facilities were great, especially the hot tub. Everywhere clean and the beds and sofa were comfortable. We did find there were a few wasps in the cottage when we returned from a day out, so not sure where these were coming from.
A great little property well located for peace and quiet whilst being close to the town centre and ideally placed to get to many of the beautiful locations around the Peak District. There are also walks accessible without having to drive anywhere. The house is nice and well maintained and the beds are comfortable. The hot tub was a welcome luxury at the end of a day of hiking and sight seeing.
This is the second time we have stayed, and again was absolutely lovely! Great size and space, kitchen well equipped. Hot tub perfect. Would highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our weeks stay at Monks cottage, very comfortable, cosy & clean. Well equipped cottage made self catering really easy, it had everything we needed. Hot tub was a great treat after a day walking in the peaks. The back area was enclosed so great to let our dog out. Thank you, would recommend and love to return
Monks Cottage is a lovely cottage where we soon felt at home. A very comfortable lounge area with log burner, a well equipped kitchen and beautiful bedrooms with comfy beds. Hot tub is a super addition. We would return. Excellent communication prior to stay.
Lovely cottage in a great location. Very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend with our four legged friend. The hot tub was a bonus after a days walk. Would definitely book again.
We loved our stay lovely clean cottage, Only suggestion I can make, is we booked mainly because of the hot tub it was raining very heavily on our last night, and we couldnt use the tub as there is no shelter over the tub, I find this strange as this is the main feature of the cottage, so some sort of shelter over the tub would be a great asset and allow people to use the tub in all weathers.
Tracey
Lovely stay at Monks Cottage. Comfortable sofa in the lounge and most importantly, comfy mattresses! Very clean, spacious cottage nicely decorated and accessorised. We paid the extra charge for the hot tub, which was delightful. Buxton is within walking distance, if youre feeling like stretching your legs. Theyre not exaggerating when they say one parking space, however we needed a second one so contacted the owner who responded very promptly and helped sort us out. Only slight negative was the towels were quite small and we wished wed brought our own. Would definitely return to the cottage.
A cosy cottage, great central heating. Very clean and comfortable and equipped with everything you would need. The hot tub in its little courtyard was very private. Yes, there is a small lane to it and a very small parking space but not a deal breaker. We had a couple of small problems but these were dealt with very quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended.
We had all we needed, except, perhaps, for a laundry basket. We realised most guests will not have missed this, but as we stayed for a full two weeks we did a couple of washes. Other than that, it was a brilliant stay and all the neighbours were so friendly and helpful
The property itself was very comfortable lovely and clean. Well equipped everything you needed. The only downside was the approach to the property down a short track,not a big issue. Would definitely stop there again.
Hilary
A well presented holiday let. Excellent quality of equipment , furnishings and bedding. Would certainly return another Would certainly return another year.
Absolutely fantastic cottage. ...can't rate it highly enough......
A lovely week in Monk's Cottage, all the main areas very clean. Excellent location to get to lots of places to visit and easy walking distance into Buxton. Hot tub excellent! Plenty of space for our family of 4. Suggestions for improvement would be extra patio seating, hooks for towels etc in hot tub area and a newer style highchair. What was disappointing was that we asked via the agent to briefly speak to the owner in advance but we were not contacted. There was a small issue on arrival and I then had the owner's number but she was a little slow to respond. We would still stay at Monks again. Thank you for an enjoyable holiday!
Raymond
Everything was excellent. The only possible suggestion may be to do with the hot tub. Perhaps the shrub over the fence by the side gate could be cut down to fence height to avoid the seeds blowing into the hot tub. Alternatively supply a small net that customers could clear the leaves to assist with maintenance.
We had a fantastic week at Monk's Cottage. We loved everything about our stay and were very sad to leave. Perfect location for exploring the Peak District and for relaxing at the end of the day.
We had a great stay. Cottage was clean, spacious and comfortable.
Sandra
Lovely cottage, very clean and spacious great walks and beautiful scenery would definitely recommend this place
Alison
A fantastic holiday. ..all very clean and comfortable as described.
Despite everything the British weather threw at us, a very pleasant week sitting in the hot tub after a day's exploring was the cherry on the cake! The cottage was lovely and our hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly We definitely recommend Monks Cottage for anybody intending to stop in the Buxton area
Lindsey
We had a lovely stay at Monks cottage. The house is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It is about 15 minutes to walk to town but it's uphill to walk back! Gina, the owner, rang to check everything was alright and ensured we knew we could ring her if we needed anything. The hot tub is a really welcome feature and was used every day.
Great cottage in a great location, hot tub was amazing, kitchen great and overall a brilliant week and we will be returning. Only a couple of small points, the shower is not very powerful and the mattresses could probably do with changing and possobly a few more basics in the kitchen cooking oil etc but wouldn't stop me returning.
Jeffrey
Everything was as described in the advert. Monks cottage is a lovely spacious cottage ideal for 24 people. Gina arrived shortly after us and gave us a warm welcome and let us know she was just a phone call and 10 minutes away if we needed anything despite it being over Christmas. Everything was lovely, the local pub very friendly and super local walks on your doorstep. I would definitely recommend.
Lovely cottage and easy walk into Buxton. Bottle of wine was a lovely surprise and the log burner made the evenings very cosy. Everything you need in the kitchen and hot tub was lovely. Only issue was trying to find the cottage as it's tucked away down a track, so detailed instructions would have been useful also, only one parking space, which I hadn't noticed on when booking. We were 2 couples coming from different parts of the Midlands so we had to move our car quite a way away. It was a minor issue and didn't detract from a lovely weekend away. I'd definitely recommend.
Excellent cottage in a very convenient area. Hot tub was great and very clean. It was good to have controllable heating in the house to cope with changeable weather. The cottage is very wellequipped generally but it would have been useful to have a few extras in the kitchen eg kitchen roll, a few washing tablets for emergencies and some cooking oil. However, the shops are very close so it's not really a problem! We really appreciated the bottle of wine on arrival and had a lovely stay.
We had a lovely stay at Monks Cottage. A very clean little cottage with everything you need. A great base for visiting the local area, and with Buxton town centre being only a 10 minute walk away. The Hot Tub also providing a very welcome relief for tired legs after all the walking. The car park is very very tight especially if you have a larger car. Reverse parking is recommended if able to do so !
Fantastic property with absolutely everything we could wish for. Friendly neighbours especially number 6 and missy the dog. Hot tub was a god send after long walks.
A really welcoming property and owner comfortable and clean, excellent amenities, and good location for getting around the Peak District.
Rachel
A superb property in a fabulous location. It was lovely to be able to walk into Buxton and we could enjoy an evening drink at one of the many bars. The neighbours were all friendly and sociable which was lovely. The property itself more than met our needs and was comfortable and had everything we needed.
Monks Cottage is beautiful and we were very impressed with how clean it was, absolutely spotless! The cottage has modern touches, but still cosy and comfortable with a lovely charm about it. The hot tub was fabulous, so nice to relax in after a busy day out. The owner contacted us the day we arrived, making sure we had her number if we had any problems, and left us a little welcome gift which was so thoughtful. Our only comment would be that a hair drier would have been helpful, but otherwise we had everything we needed and had a lovely stay. We would definitely recommend Monks Cottage to other people.
