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.
A true gem set amongst stunning landscape. The perfect place for a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle. Lots of attention to detail made our short stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

Lovely luxurious cottages. We have been several times. Peaceful location and no need to use the car for a few days, except for the pub. The Long Room makes a big difference for groups, as we were able to seat 8 for dinner comfortably with plenty of crockery etc, and it would be easy to seat more if needed.

We were fortunate to spend our Christmas holidays with our adult kids at the Wheeldon Trees' Lomas Cottage. The location was great to explore the Peak District and the communication from Hazel made it seamless to book restaurants and groceries. We look forward to staying here again.

I had visited Wheeldon Trees Cottages years ago under different ownership but was delighted to find it is still in business under new ownership and as good as ever! We stayed for a long weekend in December - it was very cold weather but the cottage was cozy. Lomas cottage was very well appointed and comfortable. Puzzled by earlier negative review left of Lomas cottage - while small, it was big enough for our family of 4 adults plus 2 dogs. Welcome pack was great and everything you could need was on site. Hazel and Steve were very friendly and helpful but left us to enjoy the cottage as well. I am sure we will be back!

Beautiful rugged location in Derbyshire. We love Ollerenshaw cottage for 2 but there are other bigger cottages too. Close to Buxton, Hartington, and Chatsworth Estate

Great stay at Wheeldon Tree Cottages.I left a longer review on Trip Advisor, but thought I'd leave one here also.We had an amazing dog friendly stay (long weekend) at The Peak District, the cottages were really well equipped and on arrival we were welcomed with a bag of goodies to get us going (plus wine, milk and butter in the fridge).The location is very quiet, we went at a very quiet time and there were only 3 other cottages where it had people. There is also an honesty shop for anyone who is craving some chocolate. We will definitely come back next year when it's brighter and warmer.Our dog loved every moment of it!

We stayed in the Walkers Rest Cottage and it was perfect for two 'seniors'. Hazel had thought of everything that we might need. Being on one level was good - stairs can be a pain. We particularly enjoyed using the Joseph and Joseph kitchen accessories although the size of the television was a bit daunting - we are not used to such a huge screen.

Wheeldon Trees is a delightful complex of super comfortable cottages in a very pretty location. We stayed in Priestley cottage which was warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped. The Welcome Tote of goodies was very much appreciated. The cottages are within easy reach of a number of small towns - we especially liked Ashford in the Water and Bakewell. If you are lucky enough to stay on a Sunday, be sure to indulge in the roast dinner at the nearby Royal Oak pub. If you're keen to do some walks in the area, we would suggest popping into the High Peak bookstore and Cafe, which has a great selection of local guidebooks. The coffee is great too!

What an experience and amazing trip to the Peak District! Great to stay in a place whete dogs are allowed.|We stayed in Critchlow Cottage, as we went with our small dog (He said he had an amazing time too). It was a lovely weekend as it wasn't busy at all. A bonus!|The day we checked in, Hazel messaged to tell us the cottage was ready for us at 12pm, which was before the check in time.. a lovely touch. On arrival (check in was contactless) that evening we were welcomed to the cottage with the heating and Google Home playing soothing music - made us feel so homely right away.|There was a welcome bag which was brilliant, there were everything you need to get you started (box of tea bags, bag of coffee, biscuits, sweets, eggs...milk, butter and wine in the fridge). Never had this with any other cottage stay.||There is another a honesty shop, so if you're feeling a bit peckish... its great for that. In the same room, there are also washing machines and dryers for if you need it.||Noticed they also have an EV charge on site!|There is also a book in the cottage showing you different walking routes - sadly we didnt have enough time as we only stayed 2 nights. But we said we'll definitely come back next year as the hospitality and experience is one of a kind.|

It's an amazing place. Beautiful cottages in an idyllic area.
We travel with our dog who has a great time - she can be let straight outside when needed as there is a small enclosed garden, leading on to a large area.
The cottages are really well equipped and there's an honesty shop with extra bits which is really good for if you forget essentials.
Totally relaxing. Thank you Steve and Hazel.

Sublimely peaceful location, stunning views, superbly appointed cottage equipped to the highest of standards - think Joseph Joseph - with literally everything you could possibly need, run by the truly professional and enthusiastic dream team - Steve and Hazel.
We shall be returning next year, and the next ❤️

Gorgeous spot in Peaks: the views, the walks and climbs right outside your door, the privacy. Great hosts. Lots of amenities including bikes and game room for all cottage guests. The large, wonderfully redecorated FARMHOUSE we stayed in with 3 others is now my favorite vacation rental anywhere.

Wheeldon Trees Cottages is in a beautiful, quiet location of outstanding natural beauty. We stayed in Walker’s Rest, a large spacious cottage laid out on the ground floor. It was well equipped with a thoughtfully put together welcome pack. The owners have their own “honesty shop” on site, which we used to stock up on nice food, such as granola, chocolates, ice cream and one night we had a fish pie. Yum! There were numerous walks from the front door, with the routes set out on a pack of easy to follow laminated cards. The award winning pub, The Royal Oak is within a 40 minute walk and we had a couple of nice meals there. Buxton and Bakewell are both within a 15 minute car journey. Both have walks from the town centre, as well as plenty of interesting shops and places to eat. The Palace Gardens in Buxton is of interest; we enjoyed browsing the artisan shops, as well as walking in the gardens themselves. Don’t discount going to the Buxton Opera House, as there is an eclectic mix of live events and we were lucky enough to see Elvis Costello. Chatsworth is 30 minutes away, which is a majestic site and has large, scenic gardens.

A great week spent in Nadin Cottage. Enough space to be comfortable for a family of 4 adults in a beautiful quiet setting. Lots to do in the area - we didn't get to all the places we wanted to visit, so we'll be going back in the near future. Shame the pub in Earl Sterndale has gone, but the Pack Horse in Crowdecote and the Royal Oak at Hurdlow are only a few minutes drive away and fed us well.Highly recommended.
