Stainsborough Hall Holiday Cottages

On the plus side there were some lovely touches with three cottage being decorated for Halloween. And the site is ideally situated for this party of the Peak District. However, it should be made clear that the beds are 2ft6 beds, not proper singles. We booked a cottage with two king beds, but got two twins instead. The cottages are tiny and the kitchens not at all well equipped. The detachable shower head didn't work and the water pressure was poor with a single boiler servicing all cottages. The games room is simply a shed with a table tennis table in which is unheated and unlit so can't be used after dark. The cottages are incredibly overpriced. We've stayed in loads of self catering properties across the UK, and stayed in much nicer places at the same time of the year for half the price in much more popular and expensive parts of the country. We won't be staying again and wouldn't recommend to others.

This was our second year staying at Stainsborough Hall and cottages. We are a group of mixed families with children aged 2-9. The property is perfect for large groups with lots of outdoor space and brilliant location near Carsington Water. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen, bbq and hot tub. The owners are flexible, considerate and excellent with communication. Would highly recommend this spacious, clean property. We hope to be back next year!

I spent a long weekend at Stainsborough Hall for my wife's 50th (17 guests). The host was very communicative, the check-in was straightforward and the house, grounds and location are gorgeous. Try the local pub - The Miner's Arms - too! Recommended
