The Old Shop Reviews

I cannot fault it. Cleverly arranged to accommodate 11 people. Our grandson 6 thought it was a maze. He delighted in showing people to their rooms where they could retreat for some privacy if they wanted it two sitting rooms upstairs and down and we could come together or spread around. the courtyard was lovely in the warm weather.
The Old Shop is a lovely quirky property for a large group. It is very welcoming and cosy, the beds are very comfortable and the seating areas gracious. The kitchen is very well equipped with a great table for seating 10 adults. We really liked Parwich. It was a perfect location for our visit to the Peak District. We would highly recommend it for a short stay.
A lovely house with all the facilities we needed. Within easy distance of many great days out. It's not easy keeping a group of older ladies happy but this house achieved that. Thanks.
Fantastic property. Fantastic location. Will certainly be revisiting
Fabulous , spacious property renovated and maintained to a high standard. The village is lovely and the locals are very friendly. Suited our family of seven adults and three toddlers perfectly.
We all loved this property it met the needs of everyone from baby to grandad. The open plan ground floor was the perfect space for chatting, playing and cooking. We especially liked the very well equipped kitchen that had plenty of crockery and utensils. Having a separate sitting room upstairs was a bonus it meant we had a quiet space theoretically. The location was great too, plenty of walks, streams and near to places of interest. We have already booked a return visit!
Wonderful property perfect for my wife's birthday celebrations with our grandchildren
Rachael
Really lovely cottage and nice village. We had a great time. However we were really let down by the lack of basic necessities. Mainly the toilet roll and bin bags which were in very limited amounts. When we were staying over Christmas we couldnt just go to the shops to buy more plus you really shouldnt have to buy toilet roll when paying thousands of pounds to stay somewhere. In the end the host did give me a code for the cleaning cupboard to get some more but their initial response was that they only aim to supply a welcome pack. Also they do not provide recycling because they do not want to pay the council for commercial recycling. This is very disappointing. Overall it just feels like theyre pinching every possible penny of profit out your stay here!!
The property was perfect for our multigenerational holiday 2yrs75yrs. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The grandchildren loved the games room. The wet room was definately designed by someone who knows what a disabled person needs, rails, space, shower chair, non sloppy floor.
Rachel

Elizabeth
The Old Shop is extremely well appointed and well equipped . It easily accommodates larger groups and was a great base for our family and friends We had a happy stay there. We also appreciated that it is very well situated for trips out in the Peak District . We also enjoyed walks from the cottage and enjoyed the local pub, which is welcoming and serves very good food.
An ideal cottage for a family break we were ten. Games room was a great asset for the teenagers and more mature alike! Lovely village with surrounding walking. Good food in the village pub. The owner was very helpful and informative. Would recommend.

Great venue for mixed generations from 90 down to 13. Games room worked a great, thank to the host for providing the extra amenities for a downstairs chair for the shower and a TV, they went over and above. Very much appreciated. In addition communications prior to the stay were excellent and truthful.

The Old Shop is a surprisingly spacious, extremely comfortable and very well appointed cottage in a lovely village. It makes the perfect base for a family holiday in the White Peak.
Fantastic stay at The Old Shop. Lovely property with everything we needed. Owner very helpful. Parwich is beautiful.
We had a great stay. The cottage was fully equipped and the space worked well for the the 10 of us. The courtyard & games room were amazing. The village and sycamore pub were perfect, as was the local countryside. Thanks for a great weekend away
We had an amazing time staying at The Old Shop. What a beautiful house in a beautiful village! The house itself is so nicely decorated and feels so homely, and the surroundings are so tranquil and you aren't far from all the main sights of the Peak district. Perfect place for a holiday we will absolutely be back!

Thank you.

Great property in lovely location. It was perfect for the 10 of us and we had everything we needed.
Our stay at the old shop was lovely, spacious yet cosy, our whole group without exception would like to return as they fell a little in love with Parwich! Well equipped, tasteful, comfortable furniture including the beds and very clean. We had a 60th birthday celebration weekend including a delicious meal need to book, very popular at the homely and very pretty Sycamore Inn in the village, also thoroughly recommend afternoon tea at Wildhive Callow Hall. 1010.
This is a beautiful cottage, plenty of room for us 8 ladies, with room to spare The owner is lovely. When we had a little problem with the lights in the downstairs bedroom, she sorted it within 10 minutes. Now thats good service The downstairs lounge had plenty of room for us all and the upstairs lounge was super cosy with the wood burner lit fuel was provided The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The outside area is small, but enough for us The local pub is very friendly and does superb meals Altogether a most enjoyable experience
Brenda
A very comfortable home from home in a beautiful village setting. This was our second stay in the property and we hope to stay again in the future to continue our exploration of the area.
Theresa
A wonderful property. Suited our family perfectly. Clean and comfortable with extras we didn't expect. The owner thought of everything right down to supplying hand soap in each bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped and a great entertaining space. Games room was a huge bonus with teenagers in our party. The lovely owner was so helpful and kind when I rang for the key details. We had a small issue that was sorted by the maintenance team the same day we reported it. This property is perfect for a family gathering across the generations, we could always find a quiet space to relax.
Nathan
Great property, stunning location and very welcoming locals. Everything is provided for a relaxing stay and the only minor quibbles were a lack of drying racks in the en suites for the towels and no cover on the skylight in the main bedroom if you like waking up with the dawn, no problem but I need as much beauty sleep as possible.
Philip
It is lovely, clean, well equipped accommodation, the village is charming and well placed for various locations.
Christopher
A great place to stay for our threegeneration party of ten. Having the second sitting room and the excellent games room was much appreciated, and the beds are very comfortable. Set in a lovely friendly village with a firstrate pub close by.

Tracey
A great property in a lovely little village. Helpful owner. Good information folder . Well equipped. Loads of space in the property for all our families Kids loved games room but it could do with some new darts!
We had a lovely stay at the old shop . It was clean and warm in the cold weather . The address needs to be changed to The Old Shop Google apparently takes you somewhere 30 miles away if you just type The Shop even overriding the correct postcode ! Full marks also to the Sycamore local pub for food and drink . Parwich is also a lovely village . Great stay . Great location

This was our second stay at the Shop and again it was really good. House is well stocked for cooking and entertaining and the games room is really good. Local area and the pub & legion are very friendly. Lots to do in the area, just a pity the races were rained off on New Years Eve, maybe next year!
We had a wonderful stay at The Old Shop. It was everything that we had hoped for and more. The layout with a sitting room attached to the kitchen and dining area allowed us to mingle easily and the upstairs room became our quiet area. The games room was great for a bit of friendly competition. Everything worked so well the kitchen is really well equiped coped easily with xmas dinner for 9. The place was spotlessly clean, with calm and relaxed decor and lovely and warm. It felt like home from the moment we walked in. The bedrooms are comfortable and cosy. The central heating is zoned and easy to use. As we were having an early Christmas the addition of a beautifully decorated fresh tree was really appreciated. The village and the local area are beautiful with lots of options for walks of all levels. The owner was great at communicating and really helpful in advance of arrival. We are a family of 3 generations and The Old Shop is easily the best house we have rented for our family gathering we hope to return.
