Guests say
Stenson Hill Farm is a spacious and welcoming holiday home, ideal for large groups and family gatherings. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, games room, tennis court, and large garden. The property's generous space and amenities contribute to a relaxed and enjoyable stay, with special mentions of homemade samosas adding a warm touch. While some decor and maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests eager to return.
The property generally maintains a good standard of cleanliness, though some guests noted areas for improvement such as pet hair on the lounge carpet and the need for a deep clean in some ensuites. The new bathroom received high praise.
The property is well-located, within walking distance to local amenities and offers a balance of convenience and seclusion. Some guests mentioned road noise, but the proximity to Derby and local attractions is appreciated.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the property spacious, with enough bathrooms and quiet spots. However, there were comments about the water pressure in showers and discussions about the size of the king-sized beds.
The facilities, including the games room, tennis court, and kitchen, are highlights for guests. Some maintenance issues like dated decor, mould in ensuites, and an ineffectual dishwasher were mentioned, but overall the facilities are well-received.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly for the warm greetings and homemade samosas, which were a hit among guests. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed.

Great holiday home for a large group. Kitchen had all the equipment we needed. Directions were great, instructions on arrival clear. Games room and tennis court great, as was garden.There was some discussion whether beds advertised as king-size really were king-sized. They seemed more like doubles. Water pressure was low on all showers. Road, rail and air traffic were very loud at night. We had windows open as it was hot. We'd book again without hesitation though.

Stayed here for a large family getaway, great addition of pool table and tennis court! Friendly manager of the house and lovely house. Feels far away enough but also 5 minutes from Asda if you need it.
