  What a fabulous place Hartcliffe View is.

  We have just returned from a weekend birthday celebration with all the family. 12 humans and 3 little dogs. Firstly this is a completely dog friendly place with a large walled garden, big dog bed, bowls etc. provided. The house has everything you could possibly need for your stay with a fully equipped kitchen and utility room- home away from home just bring your food- there’s plenty of storage. Kitchen roll, bin bags, spices , condiments even ice for our evening tipple were all provided. The complimentary couple of bottles of red and tin of biscuits was much appreciated thank you Ed. The kitchen quickly became the hub of the house. On another note there were plenty of loo roll supplied for every bathroom which is not always the case with holiday rentals and there is a hairdryer in every room. The house is well presented and very clean. The large dining room meant we could sit down together and enjoy shared meals into the evening. The house is big enough for everyone to have their space with plenty of activities, the games room was a big hit as was the 70inch TV in the lounge with Sky Sports and a PlayStation. We hired the hot tub as an extra (just as an aside for me it should be included in the house hire as these days hot tubs usually are because who doesn’t like a hot tub) and even though we had inclement weather it was great to sit with a glass of fizz taking in the lovely farm land views. We had an 18 month old toddler with us - the supply of a baby gate, cot, soft play area, bath toys and high chairs were very welcome ! We visited the friendly local pub- open fire, pool table and dart board for a quick drink after walking in the area - plenty of countryside walks round there. All in all we had a thoroughly lovely time and can all highly recommend Hartcliffe - we will be back - thanks for your hospitality Ed ! Wendy and the Von Trapp Family Singers !

  We had an amazing weekend at Hartcliffe View - a long overdue family get together.

  A stunning location with open countryside all around, which provided great walks for our four dogs. Even although there were 11 adults, there was a huge amount of space and various rooms in which to congregate or relax or have fun - we never felt like we were living on top of each other. The games room was fantastic and hiring the optional hot tub meant that there was something for everyone. The beds were all so comfortable and there was plenty of storage room in each of the bedrooms, which were all a good size. The front drive easily coped with our four cars and the pub along the road (200 yards) meant a welcome libation at the end of our countryside walks. Dogs are very well catered for and it's not often you can say that a garden is completely enclosed and extremely dog-friendly - not to mention the size, which was incredible. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cater for our party; with copious amounts of large pans, baking trays, serving dishes, glasses etc and storage (and fridge/freezer) space galore. Everything had been very carefully thought through to ensure our stay was stress free and relaxing. Ed was a great host; so approachable, accommodating, helpful and considerate. Every one of us would visit again in a heartbeat; perhaps in the summer months when we could really take advantage of the fantastic outdoor space and BBQ. Cannot recommend enough!

  This is a very good property, and the space is great.

  It was well-positioned in the centre of Buxton, easy to park two cars, and extremely comfortable except for one bedroom (hence losing one mark). The house is very well equipped. It was easy to park, and Morrisons is only a walk away. You could have a good holiday here without a car, as everything is so close. Of the three double bedrooms, one has the boiler in, with a sign to not switch it off. However, having the boiler on meant the room roasted, and was extremely difficult to sleep in. Also, the boiler timer ticked incessantly all night, and anyone switching a tap on made a very loud noise in the pipes in that room. You could also hear any noise in the room below from there. My son and his wife who were in the room did switch the boiler off so they could sleep, which meant we had no hot water to shower in the morning until he woke up and we could switch it on again. Inside the house was very clean. However, outside, the gate to the neighbour's back yard was broken and off its hinges (and we had a dog with us), and the passage between the two houses was scruffy, particularly compared to others in the row, with broken slates, etc. on the ground (hence one mark off for cleanliness). Overall, we were very pleased with our stay, which we felt was better than our expectations.

  Wow. What can we say.

  Lived up to all our expectations and more. This holiday home had EVERYTHING we needed - and more. Every time we thought - would be super handy if they had something, we’d look and find it. So what was great? It was super clean, really comfortable, incredibly well fitted out and in a beautiful location. We used the hot tub company which was great too. All beds were super comfy. The games room was so much fun. The kids loved having a TV in every room (you think you wouldn't need this, but it’s really handy!). We loved the attention to detail - it very much feels like it’s been designed to be an ideal holiday vacation property. The owners are also super nice and helpful - Ed couldn’t have done more for us. Lots of communication. One thing to note: there is a huge marble staircase and a spiral staircase - both of which are amazing, but we had a 3 year old with us who we needed to watch all the time on both. Younger kids (under6) need to be supervised in the games room. Thanks again for such a great stay, we really hope to be back!

  This property was perfect for our holiday - group of 13 between the ages of 62-79 and three dogs!

  Lovely underfloor heating warmed up the house in no time on arrival. Bedrooms plentiful and well equipped. Spoilt for choice as to which bedrooms we would all have! Communication with owner was top notch. Personal chef experience with Tom was brilliant. We all had a lovely meal adapted to suit all requirements. Trips out on rainy days were plentiful and we thoroughly enjoyed venturing out. The dogs loved the garden which was well enclosed which gave us piece of mind. Plenty of car parking at the front of the house. We would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone with a large group. A small suggestion maybe - it would be nice if there was an additional key to take with us when going out as well as well as the one key to put back into the safe lock. We locked ourselves out as we split ourselves into two groups - one group thinking the other had put the key back into the safe place. Luckily we managed to get back in! The key was still in the inner door!!!
