Excellent location situated between the two shores and close to the town centre shops and restaurants. Clean and the central heating was efficient. The bedroom in the loft was accessed via a spir... See more

Had a wonderful time in the olde house & will be going again
I would have given 5 stars,but we were kept awake most of the night with the noise from upstairs. Luckily they were only there on the weekend.Being close to the country side is always a great experience. We love finding new places to walk.
Very good robin cottage in Darley dale is a excellent cottage
Tiny light bulbs In living room , broken grill unusable bath , no handles to exit size was for over six foot nine person no non stick saucepan Plus side quiet location excellent beds warm hosts and house excellent stove ,
No problems of any sort with booking or our accommodation.
Love their website, it's very user friendly and has great filter options. It's always easy to find great self catering accommodation and the quality of properties are generally excellent.
You need to review your properties more often to check they as you advertise the. Based on a disappointing stay recently.
Great place. Perfect location!
Everything we wanted as a family of 4 on a 4 day break.
The company have a great scam:
Let you book nice accommodation, then just before you go cancel it and offer you a "lovely" alternative for the same price (but a discount from what it should be)! NONSENSE! they are rerouting you to cheaper accommodation that they couldn't book and making it sound brilliant, but may not be suitable or even close. The other aspect is because they tell you so soon before, unless you can cancel everything else you will be well out of pocket!
Since they are only an "agent" they take no responsibility "your contract is not with them" and blame the mythical owners for the problems.
Don't say I didn't warn you!

I previously stayed at this property in April 2025 and had a great experience, so I decided to return for another weekend away. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing and did not live up to the standard I expected.
On arrival, I noticed a lot of wear and tear, particularly in the bedroom with the ensuite Jacuzzi. The bedsheets were mouldy, and there was pubic hair in the shower. The bathroom between the two bedrooms had an unpleasant smell, stabbing marks in the shower, and a flickering light — which was especially concerning for me as someone with epilepsy.
The pool area was dirty, with debris and spiders floating in the water, and the shower in the gym area was scalding hot with water gushing from a damaged hose. There were also visible signs of damp and mould throughout the property.
It’s such a shame, as this was once a lovely place to stay. Sadly, the level of cleanliness and maintenance has dropped significantly, and it’s definitely not worth the price in its current condition.

The downstairs bathroom was nice but not suitable for an elderly or disabled person. Slippy shower floor, no handrails, low level toilet. Tiles were not suitable for the detachable hand rails provided. Upstairs shower not functioning properly.
Please see my previous reviews to see why you should not book Greystones in Upton St Leonards.
Easy to use app. Good prices. One point. Would like to know if keybox is available before booking. Late arrivals can cause problems. Overall, great service. Already booked another cottage. More to come in the future.
