Our reviews are as good as our views
We love Wheeldon Trees and are definitely not shy in telling everyone! However what really matters is what our customers think. Here you’ll find some of our latest Trip Advisor reviews and can read what people really think following their visit to our beautiful Peak District cottage retreat.
We stayed in the farmhouse as a group of 6 friends and one toddler, and we had the best time. The farmhouse was amazing in every way, it was so... read more much more spacious than expected, all of the rooms were huge and the master bedroom was incredible with old wooden beams and high ceilings. Pure luxury. Robes and slippers in all the rooms ready for going out to the hot tub in, white company soap and toiletries. All the beds were really comfortable. The decor was modern but in keeping with the traditional property at the same time which we all loved. The lounge with the log burner was very cosy yet spacious, and relaxing by the fire was wonderful at night. The large kitchen table was great for playing games around and having big dinners together, and the kitchen literally had everything you could need. The additional store room was useful to borrow some extra bits for the little one too (she especially loved the peppa pig place mat). The hot tub was so nice and relaxing and the garden was a great sun trap with such an amazing view into the valley. We all enjoyed and made use of the games room with the multifunctional games table (table tennis being a favourite), and there were lots of toys, DVDs and games in here also. The honesty shop is such a good idea and was well stocked with luxury... We stayed in the farmhouse as a group of 6 friends and one toddler, and we had the best time.

The honesty shop is such a good idea and was well stocked with luxury items to make a nice holiday treat - we really enjoyed the local ice cream we got from there. We went on some lovely walks straight from the house and all loved seeing the cows in the fields next to us. Steve was very kind and helpful if we needed him nothing was too much. Literally have nothing bad to say, we all loved our stay and would 100% return, and will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. More

We've visited these cottages many times, the first time when eldest was 18 months old, he's now 12 🙂
This was the first time under the new owners... read more and it was just as good, if not better. Steve was very helpful and accomodating wtih our reservation, and really impressed me with his customer service.
The cottages are wonderfully equipped, and were a pleasure to stay in.
The sun came out, we ate outside, our hordes of children (7 boys between 6 months and 14 years) ran riot and had a ball. they ran up and down the hill twice 🙂
SUch a joy to finally see the family again and celebrate Spring and Easter together! More

This was my third stay in five years at Wheeldon Trees. It is under new ownership and there have been some noticeable small changes that make the experience even better.... read more It has gone from five stars to five stars plus in my humble opinion. Host Steve went the extra mile to make my stay really comfortable and pleasant. The cottage was full of characterful charm, with wood beams and partially exposed old stone walls. The cleanliness, quality fittings, location, peaceful ambience, views and local walks all make Wheeldon Trees stand out. I will be back again, without doubt.

Stayed in Elliott Cottage in a group of four for a few days on a spring break. Everything here had been planned out so well, with extra touches like... read more well stocked kitchen accessories, white room toiletries, and lovely soft towels leading to a better than your average stay away from home.
We walked to the nearby hostelry and met other friends and it was a relaxing break.
Welcome pack left in the cottage was a lovely touch, and we found the owners to be very welcoming and helpful.

Superb, well appointed cottage in a stunning location.
Beautifully finished and decorated, spotlessly clean, and with everything you need for a comfortable stay either already in the cottage or... read more available to borrow or buy on site.
We had some inclement weather during our stay and so the 'long room' with games and toys was really great for keeping our young daughter entertained.
We all had a fantastic time and would recommend Wheeldon Trees to anyone looking for a special break in a beautiful part of the world.
Thank you again to Steve & Hazel for a lovely stay.

My sprightly parents, Pat & John enjoyed a weekend mini break at Wheeldon Trees near Buxton. They stayed at Walkers Rest which they found to be very comfortable and meticulously... read more clean. The bed was super luxurious - "5* hotel standard!" Hazel & Steve were the perfect hosts, making them feel very cosseted during their stay. Steve was professional and a reassuring presence without being at all intrusive.
The holiday cottage is convenient for visits to Hartington and Buxton and superbly placed for keen walkers to enjoy the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. They couldn't praise it highly enough. Next time we will be joining them!

The property is equipped to the highest standard with lovely touches included, particularly the welcome bag with locally... read more sourced "goodies". Sitting cosy by the fire in the evening after a long walk in the Derbyshire hills was just bliss, not to mention the wood fired outside tub to relax those tired legs! Every detail has been thought of to ensure guests enjoy every moment, we will definitely be returning. Thank you Steve and Hazel for making us so welcome, nothing was too much trouble.
