Beautiful location overlooking the moors. Cottage has everything you need. Quick access into Buxton despite being so beautifully rural location. Great walks nearby.

This is a really beautiful cottage conversion that was originally done a while back but has been updated over the years. It's extremely quiet, very comfortable, very well-equipped (particularly the kitchen - we cooked a full recipe box meal with no problems) and a lovely place to spend time. A basket with some chocolate biscuits and wine was extremely welcome!
The location is very rural - this is a farm on the ridge of the hills in the Peak District and so it's always windy and often a bit misty in the mornings as it's so high up. But when it clears, the views are wonderful and it's so peaceful!
It was very helpful to be able to charge our EV (electric vehicle) here too and at a very fair cost.
There were only a couple of things which could have been a bit better - a bit of time with a feather duster would go a long way, as there was a lot of dust on windowsills, cobwebs in the ceilings, dust collected in the corners of the floor and so on (even by barn conversion standards) but all the important bits were really clean. Also be aware - despite Vrbo saying that Wifi is free throughout, the owners ask people not to stream video because of it being limited each month on a satellite contract, and they even simply turn it off some evenings completely! I do have some sympathy but for a high-end luxury getaway, I don't really feel this is good enough. Mobile reception is excellent, so the owners could look at cellular broadband for wifi. But maybe a digital detox is good anyway!

Perfect stay at Curlew Cottage
Thank you again for providing such a fantastic base for our holiday. Curlew Cottage was equipped with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the en-suite was a bonus. The location was stunning with a wonderful view to enjoy from the lovely garden. Betty the Cockapoo had a great time, getting to know the other animals, though I think she might have been disappointed that Jack, the sheep, wouldn't chase her. She enjoyed meeting them all. We definitely plan to return hopefully for a longer stay next time.

Breathtaking loc
My 7yo and I stayed at the property, there was plenty of room for us and could easily accommodate a family of 4. I’ll definitely be taking my wife back there for a weekend just the 2 of us. The location is stunning. Thank you Jo.

A cottage with a view
I loved it here. Jo is very friendly and welcoming, she ensures you have everything required and nothing is too much for her. The cottage is well equipped with a WC, main bathroom, and an en-suite shower room. WiFi, and a fully functional kitchen with a full size fridge/freezer, and a skinny dishwasher. There is also an electric car charger, but we didn’t use it and not sure if it is part of the package. The beds were a bit too hard for us, but that’s a personal preference because we have back problems, there’s nothing actually wrong with them. The place needs a bit of updating here and there as expected from a cottage that’s 35 years old, but it is clean, and to me that’s the most important. I would definitely stay here again because it is such a peaceful place to stay that is still close to amenities.
