Rowan Tree Cottage in Glossop

"This one bedroomed cottage was exactly what we were looking for, very cosy and warm, extremely good shower and comfortable bed. Very central for walking in the Dark Peak and somewhere we hope to stay in again! The owners showed us the facilities but then pretty much left us to it - very friendly but not interfering which is the perfect mix. This is a good place for a couple, the on street parking is pretty close, a short walk over a bridge. The cottage is in the owners back garden but is not overlooked and is very well maintained. TV if you want it and DVD player. Old Glossop is a lovely small community and we found the whole place very welcoming. There was snow on the ground but the cottage was still very warm and comfortable."

"We stayed here for a week in June 2016. The cottage is ideally located for exploring the Peak District, most places are within 40-60 minute drive max. The cottage itself is cosy and comfortable for 2 adults. The kitchen is well equipped, and the shower room is very nice with a roomy corner shower. The village is quiet, the only noise at night is from the stream running at the end of the garden. Our only frustration was that the free view remote was slow to respond - hardly a big issue! Parking is ok, we found a space almost opposite the cottage every night. The walk from the cottage to the car was nice too as you have to cross the stream. The owners are welcoming, and once they have shown you round leave you to it. We were happy with this as the last thing we wanted was to feel 'checked up on'. That said, they are only at the end of the garden if needed. All in all, I would definitely recommend this cottage. "

"Stayed here in August for four nights with my wife we had no trouble finding the property with the sat nav only doubting that we had actually found the cottage as it is hidden away in the garden of the owners who greeted us very warmly showed us around the Cottage prior to us unloading the car and bringing our cases and supplies in. The cottage is located in a lovely quiet corner of the owners garden looking over a little stream with a small footbridge going over leading to a couple of good local Pubs doing hearty food and ale, walking in the other direction leads you to a Pub with an Indian Restaurant upstairs, walking further is a Fish and Chip shop very nice or if you walk through Manor Park you will reach Glossop City center in fifteen to twenty minutes where there are lots of shops and bars and Restaurants to choose from even a very good new Weatherspoons The Smithy Fold always a bonus for a night out. The Cottage is very quiet no noise at all ideal to chill in the decor upstairs is lovely nice new bathroom suite no bath but relaxing shower large comfy bed lovely views from the bedroom of old cottages and the stream, I found the downstairs let the cottage down slightly it has all you need but is basic and really needs updating settee lacks support and kitchenette has some good equipment but does not inspire fridge tucked away over in an alcove near other door a bonus was the downstairs cloakroom but all in all to dark and dowdy for the market they are in nowadays we did enjoy our stay but with improvements could have been so much better. The Location of the Cottage is great to explore Derbyshire with Buxton, Holmfirth, Castleton and the Peak District National Park all driveable also Manchester, Sheffield and Oldham on the train if you want to visit a City whilst in all this glorious countryside. We had a brilliant time at the Cottage lots to do places to see and great hosts that were friendly and helpful but not in your face the cottage was charming positioned ideally just let down as I said with the downstairs decor we would love to come back when it is a finished project as it could be amazing or may be completed it has been a few weeks since we stayed but thanks for having us PBV"

The fresh eggs from the chickens were an added bonus. Old Glossop is a superb location with four pubs within easy walking distance. The nearest had live music on two nights of the week that we stayed. Most importantly there are many walks in the Dark Peak in close proximity. We would definitely return as the owners were friendly and accommodating. "

"Lovely little cottage for a couple - cosy and comfortable. We struggled a bit with the boiler- it kept coming on noisily in the night but other than that perfect. Especially for country dwellers like us - it was no nice to have 3 pubs within 5 minutes walk, and a town within 15 minutes walk! There are 31 pubs within one mile of Glossop centre, not to mention good coffee shops,restauranats, takeaways - oh, and the Peak District literally within walking distance if the weather permits! The one disappointment was that previous visitors wrote constantly in the book about how friendly and welcoming the oweners were - but we only saw them on arrival and leaving. But it was dark by 4.30 so we didn't have much chance to see them."
