Everything you need. Maybe an extra bin bag would be useful. We really enjoyed sitting in the conservatory especially as the weather was a bit hit and miss. The village has a shop right opposite the property, also a Chinese, Indian and pizza/kebab shop 5 minutes walk away. The canal toe path is about 10 minutes away on foot and is an enjoyable walk in both directions to Chesterfield or Staverly. We will definitely return. Ignore previous negative reviews these are completely unjustified.

Good location with Chesterfield Canal easily in reach. Only observation is the accuracy of Hollingwood being a quaint village. This house is very comfortable, but you aren't staying in a characterful village, more the middle of a housing estate. Go expecting that and it's great.
