The Wood Shed, Bank Top Farm Reviews

An excellent proposition lead by a true professional in the industry. Karl has an immaculate understanding of the client experience and that is evident from top to bottom. The Wood Shed is a modern, sleek building with everything you need and more. We really enjoyed the small touches which included cleaning products and a full range of cutlery. Karl takes the time to personally introduce himself and show you around, meaning that you feel comfortable communicating with him and have an understanding of everything that the property offers. We will be back, do not doubt an experience at The Wood Shed, it is truly fantastic
Jessica
Karl was incredibly hospitable and great to chat with. The Wood Shed was immaculately presented throughout and the bed was very comfortable. The Wood Shed was also conveniently situated for lots of walking routes as well as being close to Ashbourne for the pubs and coffee shops. We had a lovely weekend getaway.
Graham
Karl was a joy, very personable and nothing seemed too much bother, he made our stay more pleasurable. The property itself was well appointed and there wasnt anything further that we could have wished for, there has obviously been a lot of thought into the customers requirements. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Wood Shed and will be returning whenever we get the chance.
Wow, what an amazing short break we have had here. We stayed 2 nights in the woodshed and it was perfect. We where greeted and shown around by Karl what a top gent which was a lovely touch. There was a lovely bottle of prosecco on ice on arrival and milk in the fridge and they are really nice touches to have. The Woodshed has everything you need for a relaxing getaway and we can't fault any of it. We will definitely return.
Katharine
Beautiful Lodge in beautiful surroundings. Lovely to have the hot tub after a day exploring and the added novelty of Netflix which we don't have at home. Lovely touch with the prosseco in an ice bucket when we walked in and tea coffee and milk supplied. The only reason I have given 4 stars and not 5 is that we have stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels and always been supplied with toiletries and I think for the money that we paid which equated to 200 a night a shower gelbody lotion and shampoo would have been the icing on the cake. Also the curtain fittings tieback fittings in the living room were loose with the screws coming out of the wall. All in all to sit in a hot tub over looking open fields was wonderful and I would throughly recommend the Woodshed and we will at some point be returning.
Amanda
The cottage is fantastic, immaculate & cozy. There was everything we needed and more! Very warm welcome.
We both had a very relaxing stay at The Wood Shed. The owners have thought of everything that you would need. The location is very central to many sites and attractions in Derbyshire. The hot tub especially was brilliant and the place was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was great, and the TV's in both the lounge and bedroom were an added bonus. The place even has a dishwasher, with dishwasher tablets provided. We would higher recommend The Wood Shed and can't wait to return.
Carole
We have thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the Wood Shed. The accomodation is compact but has everything you could possibly need. the king sized bed is very comfortable and the accomodation spotlessly clean. Very comprehensive information is provided by the hosts on the use of all appliances, walks, places to visit & eat in the area. The location was very peaceful and the added bonus of the hot tub was a lovely treat after a full days walking. The hosts are very friendly & helpful if needed, we had a small issue with the operation of the hot tub but a quick message to Karl and Helen responded right away and the issue was resolved. A very enjoyable short stay, would highly recommend.
Brandon

A beautiful property in a fabulous location. I particularly loved the little touches that made us feel special the huge bed with plump pillows, the complementary Prosecco and the super clean hot tub and deck area. Everything was very high spec and nothing was too much trouble.

Had a lovely, relaxing stay in this great location. Property had everything that we needed and was very clean and cosy. Loved the very large comfy bed and that the hot tub had a canopy over it great when it rained. Will definitely return and recommend to family and friends.
Siobhan
We had a wonderful stay at the Wood Shed. Karl was a great host, very friendly and gave a great intro to the facilities and lots of good recommendations in his booklet. A perfect base for a day trip to Alton towers and exploring dovedale and Bakewell. We loved relaxing in the hot tub after our busy days out and a very comfy massive bed as well!
Beautifully compact with all modern facilities the owners have thought of every little detail regarding equipment etc. It was a shame the weather wasn't better to have used the outside facility more. Would highly recommend the accommodation.
We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful apartment. The property owner, Karl, was there to meet and greet us upon arrival and take us through all facilities including the hot tub. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and everything we needed was provided. I'd 100 recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing break in Derbyshire.
Christine
Really great accommodation and location. Nothing was too much for Karl the owner. Unfortunately neither he nor us had any control over the weather but we still had a lively stay.
Would highly reccomend! ! Great host and accommodation will be coming back soon
As a last minute booking we felt like wed struck gold! The Wood Shed is just stunning and is stylishly furnished with everything you could need for a wonderful holiday. It is perfectly situated at the base of the Peak District with so much to see and do nearby. Karl is the most helpful host and a lovely guy, he is clearly proud of what he has created and justifiably so. We saw Red Kites in the skies above and to our delight a Woodpecker and an abundance of Blue and other tits on the bird feeders we took with us. The views from the cottage are amazing. Just try it and see! We will be back! Thank you for sharing kindest regards Sally and Wal and for the fizz and flowers Ps Netflix was an added bonus on the Smart TVs we got to watch the much hyped Fool me once
Jessica
Me and my boyfriend have had the best time at The Wood Shed. It's the perfect little retreat for a couple. Karl was really lovely and he met us when we arrived and showed us around the cottage, we were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco and fresh flowers. The cottage is decorated lovely and very clean. It has everything you need such as the well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and smart TV's. The guide book has lots of good information in it about the local area, we actually only live 20 minutes away from the cottage but it felt like we were miles from home as it was so peaceful being out in the countryside. The hot tub was also a super nice treat. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would love to come back to recharge the batteries again! Thank you Karl, Helen and Pip, we highly recommend
This was a It was a last minute decision to go away on retreat on boxing day as a reset. This was literally the perfect property. Beautifully maintained and immaculate throughout. The highlight was meditation in the hot tub under the stars every night. Karl was the perfect host, I highly recommended this property... I'll definitely be back!
Absolutely brilliant! Had the best of times, definitely will be coming back! The owners are brilliant and very welcoming. If you're looking for a romantic break away, this is you're place!
Daniel
Absolutely fantastic place. A beautiful tranquil facility with everything we needed to make our stay superb. Hosts went from above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Will be returning for sure. Danny
Great property for two. We were made to feel very welcome by the owner who was also very helpful. Will definitely stay here again and hope for less rain!
Heather
We had a lovely weekend stay at the Woodshed. Karl was a fantastic host, and has clearly put a lot of time and thought into the cottage, with special touches and very detailed local information which was super helpful. The cottage itself was one of the best kitted out I've stayed in, particularly if you are going to be cooking, which we did! A few perfect evenings of bbq, sipping wine in the hot tub and gazing at the stars was just what we needed would highly recommend a visit if you're coming to the area. Thanks Karl!
Bronya
The property and surrounding area are absolutely lovely! Theres plenty to do, and if you want to relax the jacuzzi and view is stunning. The kitchen is wellequipped if you want to make dinner rather than dine out. Karl was an amazing host, very attentive and friendly. We would absolutely come back
Andrew
This cottage is worthy of the 5 stars . On our arrival we were met by Karl and and received a wonderful warm welcome and the chilled bottle and flowers were very much appreciated as we had booked for my wife's birthday.Karl was able to recommend a superb place for a meal and had a wonderful evening there. The highlight being the ride in the back of the 2CV with the roof back ! Next time I bring mine . The place is faultless, spotlessly clean and in a superb location overlooking the countryside to the hills. There is parking space and its easy to find with full directions .It's a perfect place to explore the area or just chill out. I have no doubts in recomending this place, I just hope that we will be able to book it when we want to return as it will no doubt be a popular cottage very soon

Christian
Really great stay. Great comfort and attention to detail, really friendly welcoming hosts. Beautiful setting. We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing weekend thank you
An absolutely wonderful property with so many nice touches it is very clear that Karl and family take pride in their offering. The prosecco on arrival was a nice thought and gratefully received, whilst the property itself has comfortable furniture, a really nice sized bed, a great shower etc and the hot tub just tops it all off. We found it to be a good location for the exploring we wanted to do and an enticing base to return to the hot tub again for evenings. The welcome pack was incredibly useful and we ate at two of the food places recommended and second both of them! Highly recommend a stay here and our thanks to Karl and family for such a lovely break.
George
We stayed in the Wood Shed for three nights over the weekend. The views are fantastic and the area is amazing, there's so much to do. Karl was an amazing host, super accommodating and very friendly! The hot tub has to be the best part by far, the sunsets and sunrises in the hot tub are fantastic. Our only gripe was a stain behind the toilet but other than that we would really recommend! Thanks for having us Karl.
