We have just returned from a weekends stay in the farmhouse. I booked this for my partners 40th birthday and stayed with two other couples. The place is just amazing, there is everything you could want provided. We went in the hot tub in the snow and also experienced the BBQ hut which was really good and made a nice... More

We found Smallshaw through a work colleague, initially as it was 'dog friendly' which is essential for us. We stay in Birch Cottage every time as it suits us, a good size property with comfy beds and furniture, large kitchen / diner, all underfloor heating which the dogs appreciate. This time we had heavy snow and it was so cosy... More

I have just returned from an incredibly snowy Smallshaw Farm Cottage and can not praise the place enough. I was there as part of a large Hen weekend, and stayed in Birch Cottage. The cottage itself was absolutely perfect, it had spacious rooms with the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on, an incredibly well equipped kitchen and two bathrooms... More

We have recently returned from our second visit to Smallshaw. Our first was two years ago in November 2010 (I've just realised we forgot to review!) staying in Rowan, and this month we came again this time staying in the Farmhouse. We visit the area mostly once a year to visit family. Both properties - as I'm sure all of... More

My wife and I stayed in lovely "Bramble Cottage" in June [see my previous review]. This time we came as a family from Worcestershire and South Wales (4 adults, 2 children + 2 dogs) staying in the FABULOUS FARMHOUSE. It's such a relaxing holiday haven, and hosts Jim and Mary are so welcoming and helpful. They really do make you... More

I cannot use enough superlatives to describe just how wonderful Smallshaw is! We held our wedding reception here over a hot and sunny weekend in May and it was quite simply - perfect! Our reception was held in the beautiful gardens and paddock, overlooking the cottages and stunning Peak District countryside. Smallshaw is situated on a sheltered hillside and blessed... More

We stayed in "Bramble Cottage" during an unseasonable cold and wet June week, but it was "simply brilliant". The cottage was so well equipped with lots of individual touches (too many to mention) from the "welcome pack" of essentials that we may have forgotten to bring - including milk and delicious new-laid eggs - to a range of bathroom toiletries...

We just spent a gorgeous weekend in Bramble Cottage, and have come back feeling totally relaxed and revitalised. Smallshaw Farm Cottages are stunning. Amazing location in total peace and quiet, surrounding by lovely countryside and lots of walks, but only a short drive from from lots of attractions, should you feel a bit more active. The cottage itself was spotlessly... More

We were introduced to Smallshaw by friends two years ago and we are now looking forward to our third trip there. Everything about the cottages are wonderful - they are spotlessly clean, in a wonderful scenic location and the hosts cannot do enough for you. There are beautiful walks on the doorstep and the cottages are wonderfully cosy, perfect for... More
