Beautiful Property

Centrally located. Loved the private garden for our dogs. Well equipped property with footpaths around and one going into the Serpentine walk - just beautiful. Bettter check in and check out times. 4pm check in for a full day fee feels a bit unfair.

Lovely Cottage in the heart of the Peak District

Lovely cottage in a quiet area (main road outside but not too busy). The accommodation was clean and very well presented, with a lovely spacious living room for relaxing in. The kitchen is small but pretty well equipped, just watch your head going in and out through the low alcoves if you’re tall! Had an issue that needed contact with Finest Retreats, but despite it being a weekend their service was prompt and really helpful. Great service. Not a lot that could be changed, maybe a coffee machine?

Good place to stay in Buxton

Nice comfy warm house with an enclosed garden and a drive to park in. Well located, on a moderately busy road. Well equipped, we enjoyed it. Not much, an nespresso machine would be nice.

A great stay in a lovely cottage.

Easy access to some picturesque walks and sites. A beautiful cottage to come home to and sit by the log burner in the lounge. Comfy beds, and great to have a bath that was big enough to lay down in.

Lovely cottage in a great location

We stayed at Wye Head Cottage for a long weekend in March. The cottage is lovely, plenty of space for 4 adults and two doggies. There is a great enclosed garden for the dogs and walks right on your doorstep. A 15 minute walk into Buxton for all amenities was great. Added bonus was the off road parking for 2 cars. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Excellent stay

This is a lovely cottage, that is very well equipped and very comfortable. It is in walking distance to the centre of town and various pubs and restaurants. We would suggest some coat hooks be added near the front door.

Perfect get away

Beautiful cottage, really well equipped. Lovely welcome pack of milk, bubbles and a Christmas panettone - a lot of effort had gone into making us feel right at home.

Excellent cottage in a great location to Buxton

The cottage is lovely with excellent facilities and in a very good location to access Buxton and the pubs etc within. Takes around 5-10 mins to walk into the town. We were delighted to find plenty of fire wood for the log burner and the house is lovely and warm even in the freezing weather we had over new year.

Great little cottage in a good location in the lovely town of Buxton

We’ll equipped, comfortable furnishings, nice garden & well placed in the Peak District We arrived during an unusually cold spell in June and needed the heating on to take the chill off the place but it was hard to find the instructions and being a weekend emergency only calls were acceptable.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Jul, 2024
Hi Jill, I hope you were able to explore the beautiful surroundings, Wye Head Cottage really allows you to take in the peak district in all it's magnificent glory. I am sorry you were at the mercy of the awful British weather and found it to be cold, your feedback is very valuable to us and we will look into making the instructions more accessible.

Beautiful cottage, everything you need for a chilled getaway is available. Lovely welcome gift from the owner upon check-in. Town has shops for goods needed but rained mostly so made the most of the cottage. Would recommend and looking to book again.

Pets allowed would be a fairer summary rather than pet friendly, while pre holiday correspondence was accurate and timely, as a professionally managed let a little short and missing some of the personal touch of an independent let.

Everything generally great. If nit-picking, we would have appreciated some clocks (to save having to look for mobile) and some pegs downstairs and in the bath room.

Wye Head Cottage

We had a most enjoyable stay at this will furnished and extremely clean cottage. The accommodation was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with all the utensils and appliances you require. The cottage is well positioned for easy walking access into the centre of Buxton or onto the adjacent hills. We would highly recommend this property for a short or long term stay and would certainly consider coming back in the future.

Overall an ideal location and services excellent

As advertised if a little close to a busy road. Internally and garden excellent. One slightly negative comment are the internal steps linking kitchen and dining area which present a trip risk.

Fabulous cottage

Comfy cottage with lovely garden and outside seating areas to maximise the sun. Well decorated with homely touches. Nice to have Netflix. Beds comfy. Well equipped for cooking. Washing machine and dishwasher a bonus. Welcoming touches like milk, coffee, tea etc left. Great walks on the doorstep for dogs.

Gem of a place

Location was good for a short walk into town. Warm cosy cottage with welcome ‘bits’ including festive feel. Really relaxing stay. Really liked Dandelion Coffee, Khomkhai Thai restaurant and The Frog bar. A few extra bits in the kitchen would be useful, including oven trays and roasting tin, salad bowl and servers and a bread knife. Hooks for coats near the door would be handy too. Overall really happy and only mentioning these things as tiny improvements to a splendid cottage.
