Disappointing
We frequently stay in holiday properties and so know what you can get for £140 / night and sadly this was not up to the standards we would expect. The cottage is lovely, in a lovely sertting but it is very damp with mould around the windows and mildew on the curtains. It was not clean, the tiles in the bathroom were mouldy, under the furniture were dead woodlouse and other remnants of insects, cobwebs everywhere and the lavatory off the main bedroom was very poorly cleaned. The beds were very comfortable but the bedding felt damp. There are no instructions on how to heat the water. The house does have heating but this is controlled remotely by the host which isn't a viable option if you get in late or the weather is variable. The garden is overgrown and the lawn unkempt. The house is a good base for walking in the area, but not somewhere you would wish to spend time in. We ate out every evening and spent time playing cards and games at the local Buxton Brewery taproom just to avoid going back to the house. It just needs a lick of paint, constant low level heating for the damp and a proper clean and it would have been ideal.

Amazing stay, perfect for a relaxing time
The house and host were fantastic we had such a good time! It sits in a lovely quiet village that has a wonderful honesty shop a short walk away. The host was incredibly helpful and made us feel very welcome. Surrounded by beautiful views and great areas to walk. We had a short stay but it was perfect!

A lovely cottage in an idyllic location in the middle of nowhere! You can walk from the to Chrome hill or further afield. We loved the honesty shop 400m away too. Just need a few more cutlery, water glasses and a new fridge freezer but we managed. Would come again!

Cosy base for our stay in a stunning area
My family and I (including two teenage daughters) and our dog have just spent a delightful week in Hollinsclough and Vicarage Cottage was the perfect base for our stay. Clean, cosy and with everything we needed for days out walking the stunning surrounding countryside or cosying up when the weather wasn't great! Perfect mix of practicality and quirky charm. My daughters loved the fact that the WiFi was more than up to speed! And we all enjoyed the games room and DVD selection to pass the wet weather days. We were never cold in the cottage despite it being a particularly cold week - and our two year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was very happily settled too - we used the fire grate across the stairs at night and he was only too happy to stick to his own dog bed! Already planning a return visit as there's so much in the area that we would love to explore. Great communication with the property owner too from start to finish 😊

Great location, needs a deep clean
This is a great spot for a short stay with wonderful walks from the doorstep and a very peaceful atmosphere. The place is comfortable and meets all basic needs, the only qualm was that the kitchen and bathroom really do need a proper deep clean as it doesn't look like that's been done for a quite some time. Made us feel a bit sick at times. Otherwise, a great little cottage.

We enjoyed a half term break here with our dog and electric car. Mark put in a socket to enable us to charge our car overnight - brilliant! The cottage had everything we needed and was comfortable and warm. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with good walks straight from the front door and we enjoyed the local honesty café.

Excellent location with amazing scenery and wildlife on the doorstep
Excelllent location but property was a bit tired in places. It was lovely and warm with plenty of hot water. The grill only worked intermittently and there was a shortage of sharp knives. The main issue we all had were the mattresses on the beds and the fact we all had to take our own sheets and towels. Whist appreciating the current situation most rentals simply ask you to strip the beds and put all linen in a bag to go for laundry. We would still stay here again and hope the comments are received as helpful.

Sweet little cottage.
Everything we needed for a short stay. The owner was very responsive when we reported a few glitches and fixed it the next day, and was very friendly. Furnishings were basic but adequate - it’s not the priciest place to stay! The cottage itself is very pretty inside and out - but a little more attention to cleanliness wouldn’t have gone amiss, especially in these Covid times. Nothing terrible - just dust under furniture and dirty mirrors and cupboard handles etc. A whizz round with antibacterial sprays etc made us feel better but I would have preferred not to feel I needed to do that. The China, cutlery etc was all very clean and shiny - no problems there. All in all, a pleasant stay in a beautiful location.

Peak break
Loved the cottage, love the area, the cleanliness was apporling. Sofa in the living room mouldy, stained cushions and pillows, dust all over, windows covered in cobwebs and dirt, beatles in the bedroom, fridge needs replacing . Kitchen cupboards haven't been cleaned for a long time.We had to buy a dinner set, cooking utensils , glasses and throws also airfreshners due too the smell. Such a shame as its potentially the perfect cottage.

The Cottage is in a peaceful hamlet, warm and cosy but with cleanliness and maintenance issues.
Vicarage Cottage is in a picturesque, peaceful hamlet in the heart of the white Peak District. It is warm and cosy with copious amounts of hot water which is welcoming after a long day walking. We are a family of 6 and the Cottage was a little cramped. It is probably more suited to 4 people. There were some issues with cleanliness and maintenance. We have raised these directly with the owner, as the property does not meet the usual standards we have come to expect from HomeAway.

A nice 4 day break in a lovely part of the country, great spot walks and trips out.
A nice cottage in a quiet spot at the end of the summer season. A little tired in places and in need of a bit TLC but nevertheless a comfortable stay. The cooker and shower head needs updating still as mentioned by others. Lounge setting is lovely with nice polished floor. The beds are fine and the heating worked well too. The entrance to the garden hedge was overgrown so walking up the path after a wet days trekking with the dog or when walking him at night was difficult. This is a good cottage in a good location for local walks and trips out but with a bit of money spent on it it could be an excellent one.

Beautiful location but cottage in need of tlc
This cottage is set in a very picturesque location, but be warned, some of the access roads, although affording spectacular scenery, are single lane and pretty scary in places. There is no parking directly beside the property but there is parking available locally. For anything but very basic groceries, you will have to travel over 7 miles to Buxton. The cottage itself is quite sweet but you will have to watch your head on the door frames if you are tall. Wi-fi in the cottage is good but we had no phone signal. I was disappointed with a number of issues concerning the cleanliness and upkeep of the cottage There was dust so thick in places in the living room that previous holiday makers had actually written a message in it. The shower head was held in place by an elastic band. I don't mind a few cobwebs, but it is not pleasant when they are in the crockery cupboard. More worrying was the fact that the only smoke detector was hanging by wires from the stairwell ceiling; I couldn't reach it to test if it was actually functioning, I feel that, from a health and safety standpoint, it should be easily accessible.
