About this property

Holmesfield 0.7 miles. A stunning, 17th century Grade II listed detached house with a hot tub, on the outskirts of the village of Holmesfield, within driving distance of the Spa town of Buxton and only ten miles from Sheffield.

This is an ideal base for families, friends, birthday or anniversary celebrations and stag/hen parties. The first room you enter into is the games room with a pool table and table football, where many in your party can enjoy a competitive game or two during a rainy afternoon.

    Cottage was absolutely lovely, perfect for our Hen Weekend, plenty of room, excellent kitchen/cooking facilities Our only slight issue was with the hottub, the button for the jets was really difficult to use, we ended up with them off most of the time A doormat near the patio doors for people coming out of the hot tub, and a fire pit would have been lovely

  • Helen

    It was just perfect! Everything was as described…and the delicious cake left for our arrival was a lovely touch. The kitchen was very well-equipped and the beds very comfy. The sunsets from the lawn were beautiful and helped us capture some wonderful photos. Highly recommended! Thanks again x

    It was a lovely break, allowing everyone to be in the same place at the same time. There are lots of pubs a couple of minutes drive away & about 15 minutes walk. The only 2 things I can think of as an improvement would be; • back garden being fully fenced off rather than the wired fence. • bath mat to prevent it getting slippy after a shower Other than that the experience was lovely and the views are fantastic.
