Chandler House Reviews

We had a fantastic stay at Chandler House in Castleton with a group of six, and it couldnt have suited us better. The living room was both spacious and cosy, giving us plenty of room to relax and spend time together. The pool table was a brilliant addition and provided lots of fun over the weekend. The kitchen was very userfriendly and clean. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the main bathroom worked perfectly for us all, with the additional upstairs toilet being a real bonus. The location is excellent right in the heart of Castleton and within easy walking distance of local pubs and shops. Having a coffee shop and general store directly across the road was incredibly convenient. We also visited Peak Cavern, which was only about a 15minute walk away. Julia, the host, was super friendly, welcoming, and very responsive, which made the whole experience even better. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We would happily recommend Chandler House and would love to return in the future!
Jeanette
What an amazing property in a perfect location . 7 ladies on our annual Christmas trip . The house had everything we needed and more including a Christmas tree. The house was cozy with the log burner going each evening , the rooms were all well presented and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking the biggest breakfasts and evening buffet ! Highly recommend, cars parked up for the weekend and everything within walking distance. Lots of choices of places to eat and Castleton is the prettiest place at Christmas. Host was great with wonderful communication and delivering us some extra towels straight away ..loved our stay
What a wonderful place! From our first day to the last we enjoyed every minute in this beautiful house. It felt so cosy and welcoming. Thank you for the wine, cake and milk it was much appreciated
Deborah
A fabulous cottage in a perfect location. The cottage was clean, contained everything we needed. We were close to restaurants, coffee shop's, a bakery, pubs and shops. Ideal location to explore the beautiful Peak District.
Fantastic property, amazing location, engaging and friendly owner who left us cake and prosecco!
Patrick
Excellent base for walking in the Peak District parking at pub as organised by owner was a massive plus.
Samantha
What a wonderful home! My family and I met up from the East and the West of the country for a weekend of hikes and adventures and this property served us perfectly. Stylishly decor and well facilitated, and the ability to park for free in the pub carpark was massively helpful in this little village. A lovely little courtyard to the rear was all we needed for outdoor space. Upon reflection the families only little suggestions would be to provide some tongs to turnremove food on the grill and to also give the sofas a good bash outside as the cushions etc seemed dusty it was either this or an air freshener sadly affected allergies for 3 of us this is something i have already mentioned to the wonderful host. Thankyou for providing your home for us to stay in.
We were made to feel welcome in the call with the owner from the start. Located on the main road opposite the general store and near the bakers, so a prime location. The added addition of offroad parking just down the road and close to the property. Everything clean and as expected and a pleasure to stay in. Lovely property.
Carolyn
Beautiful cottage in perfect location. Everything maintained to a great standard. Host is friendly and approachable if you have questions. Would not hesitate to recommend this stay.
Danielle
We had a wonderful stay at Chandler House. The cottage was even more beautiful in real life than on the pictures. It was well equipped and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Id definitely book to stay again!
What a lovely cottage. Beautifully decorated and furnished, with all the necessary equipment to hand. Games room was a godsend with two young boys to entertain. The cottage is very central and directly opposite a little shop and coffee shop. The owner was kind enough to leave us some essentials, but if you forget anything the shop opposite has a lot of choice. We only stayed for two nights, but could have happily stayed longer. The road outside is fairly busy, but dont worry it is very quite overnight. Parking was provided for free at a nearby hotel only a minute away from the cottage. The owner seems to have thought of everything and deserves a positive review. I am usually quite critical of places I have stayed in the past, so I tend not to leave a review. In this case I felt a positive review was a must.
Louise
Wonderful 3 nights staying at Chandler House, with three generations. Julia the host is a lovely lady and is very helpful and is on hand always pre arrival and during.. The cottage has 4 beautiful bedrooms with fresh crisp bedding, the bathroom was spotless and very large and there were plenty of clean bath towels and hand towels provided, also bath mats. My parents slept in the front bedrooms and were not disturbed by any traffic flowing. The games room with pool table was a hit with my son and all cues and balls were provided. The kitchen and dining are very french shabby chic in light grey and wood, loved it, the kitchen was a fantastic size and again tea towels and all equipment was provided. The dining area opened out on to a patio sun trap with outdoor furniture and very enclosed. The lounge was a lovely country cottage style. The cottage is centrally located in the village with a local shop opposite. I would most definitely stay here again. Thank you Julia for a lovely family stay. PS if you are over 6ft, you will just need to duck going in through the front door
Joanne
Lovely decor with comfortable sofas and quality artwork and decorative details and courtyard area. Lovely clean bedding and towels would have liked more than one each as the ladies needed to wash their hair. Plenty of hot water so 6 of us could all have showers but the shower screen doesn't work so despite 2 bath mats the bathroom floor was quickly flooded and slippery. Blinds didn't fit the front windows at all so light came in round the edges I can't comment on the back bedrooms as I didn't check so we were woken earlier than we would have liked. Only one light bulb out of 5 I think working in one bedroom didn't check the others The hairdryer fused if on setting 2 so it only worked for 2 minutes then died. Husband changed fuse and same thing happened again so we just went out with wet hair. Hopefully it can be replaced for other guests. Biggest disappointment was how dusty it was. Previous reviews said it was spotlessly clean but there were cobwebs on light fittings in several areas and the faux and dried flowers were furry with months worth of dust I have photographs if necessary, shelving and tops of pictures etc dusty. Our son was sneezing all weekend. There were dirty saucepans in the drawer and dirty bowls in the cupboard difficult to see and check as they were stacked so that is excusable. Another gripe was the combination of non stick cookware all scuffed and damaged with metal implements plastic would make damaging the saucepans less likely. Otherwise we had plenty of crockery and glassware so that was good. We had a lovely time celebrating my husband's birthday but were disappointed by the lack of attention to detail with what could be a beautiful property. Hopefully this feedback will be taken constructively as it really is a lovely house.
Pauline
The property was excellent, very cosy and welcoming. The welcome gifts were lovely and well presented. Location was perfect for walking and exploring the area. The kitchen was stocked very well, had everything and more.
Rachel
Gorgeous property in a beautiful location. Stunning area if you enjoy walking and excellent location for pub goers. It is a large property but still feels cosy and homely. We particularly enjoyed the fire and the pool table. Property is well equipped and many amenities close by. Would highly recommend.
The house is lovely. It was very comfortable and very clean. There was a lot of attention to detail and nice extras for Christmas. The pool table was a big hit. It is on a busy road, we knew this and it was fine, it might bother some people though. Great pub quiz at the Peak Hotel, lots of cafes and walks from the door. Thank you.
Our faces were beaming from the moment we stepped through the door. Perfect cottage, large enough for seven guests, cosy, comfortable and stylish. Right in the centre of Castleton with parking outside of the door. Such a perfect stay. Made even more perfect by the generosity and warm welcome of the perfect host. Julia was on hand for any question we had. We cannot wait to return.
Maxine
Fabulous property everything was spotless. All you needed in a kitchen. Woodburner was lovely on a cold wet night. Situated perfectly in the village for all the eating places and shops. Would definitely return.
We had the most wonderful stay at Chandler House. A beautifully charming house in a perfect location, super clean and comfortable, ample space, quiet and exactly what we wanted. Julia was super helpful throughout our stay too! Would highly recommend Chandler House to anyone and we're already planning our return. Absolutely gorgeous!!
We had a wonderful stay at Chandler House, a beautiful refurbished traditional house. Located perfectly in Castleton with easy access to the local shops, pubs and restaurants. Also great for walks within the beautiful location. Great communication with the owner, nothing was to much trouble if we had a questions about our stay or the area as we had not visited this part of the country before. Hope to visit again and would
Karolin
Everything about our stay, from booking with Sykes and contact with the proprietor, to the house itself, the village and the surroundings were beyond our expectations. The house is extraordinary welcoming, so beautiful and very well equipped. It is perfectly situated in the middle of the village with all amenities, including buses, within close walking distance. Julia made us feel very welcome with a set tea tray, milk in the fridge and a bottle of wine. We felt trusted and cared for as guests which is not always a given an aspect which greatly adds to the feeling of comfort! We would love to come back! Thank you for a wonderful week!

A beautiful cottage located centrally within Castleton.
Excellent location. Very comfortable. Have booked again.
Chandler house was lovely, and castleton was a great place to spend New Year. The Christmas decorations were very pretty, we loved the real fire and the pool table. We hope to be back soon.
We had a really lovely Christmas holiday at Chandler House, really cosy, beautifully decorated and some nice extra touches by the owner on arrival.
Chandler house was brilliant. I have been renting cottages in Peak district once or twice a year for the last 15 years this was best one ever!! great location right in middle of town but you can park just down the road. House very well maintained and clean. Pool table is good quality 4 cues, chalk, rests etc. Shower super powerful and warm. Kitchen high level epuipment and good washing machine. Great cottage!!
Lovely stay at an excellent property. Everything you need and in a great location.
Vanessa
Lovely cottage with super courtyard garden complete with nesting birds and sweet touches in the house by way of set out tea tray and books.
Joanne
Perfect location for all amenities, loads of places to eat within a stones throw. Very well presented, very comfortable, though one of the doubles is a bit of a squeeze for two people bed against wall. Great welcome with tea, biscuits a even wine! The only downside was the noise from traffic in the front 2 bedrooms but theres nothing much can be done about that, except maybe some complimentary earplugs.
Christopher
Great stay. Only slightly negative thing to mention is that we had no control over the heating. Heating was set to come on twice a day but it seemed like the wrong time to come on as we were out. Made up for it with the wood burner downstairs but beds were cold after 9pm.
Yvonne
It was beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed. Will be booking again.
Great house. Really loved it. Pool table a real hit. Little improvements needed. Replace fire alarms. Fit extraction to small toilet. Fix fan in oven that didn't seem to work
Stephen
We arrived on a bank holiday Sunday and parking was a nightmare
Chandler House is beautiful. It felt very homely and it was well situated. The owner was lovely and very helpful. Would definitely like to stay again.
Gregory
Great place to stay classy and comfortable. Friendly and helpful owners. Perfect location for lots of walks.
Lovely cottage the pool table was a real hit
Ann marie
Beautiful cottage with everything you need and more. Lovely style bedrooms and the beds were so comfy. Log burner was great in the evenings and we were lucky enough to be able to sit outside in the garden in the day. Shower was so nice, didnt want to get out. Nice welcome pack left, very considerate. Place was spotless and the owner was excellent especially with the communication throughout the stay. Place is in a great spot with loads of walks on your doorstep and some great pubs mins away. Great place to stay and will definitely be back.
