Guests say
Loose Hill Lea is a well-received holiday cottage in the Peak District, praised for its cleanliness, prime location for walking and attractions, and comfortable amenities. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, efficient heating, and the peaceful setting. While there are minor critiques about bed sizes and household supplies, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'super clean'. The attention to cleanliness is also highlighted in the context of COVID safety.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, proximity to local shops, and ease of access to walking trails and attractions. It is described as ideal for peaceful holidays and for exploring the Peak District.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the property warm and the beds comfortable. However, there are some comments about small double beds and insufficient quilt sizes, which slightly affect the score.
Facilities are generally seen as excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen and good Wi-Fi. However, some guests noted a lack of certain kitchen items and issues with a baby cot, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
While guests mention a welcome pack, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of thoughtfulness across all stays. Therefore, while the gesture is appreciated, it cannot be guaranteed for future guests.
