  • "We had a really good stay with family on my 70th birthday 'long weekend'."

    Everyone loved the property instantly. Lots of character, great bedrooms, warm, excellent parking, extensive kitchen area, spacious. Nice 'welcome' basket too. The property is isolated in a lovely quiet spot. Access roads can be a bit narrow and some 'challenging' potholes so just a little care needed. Its well situated for many ameneties and tourist destinations e.g. Matlock, Dove Valley, Heights of Abraham, Tram Museum. Village pub 'Druids' excellent food and very friendly. Owner very helpful and friendly. Would go back

    Dear Christopher - we’re so pleased that the stay worked so well for your 70th; and we look forward to seeing you back. All the best, Chris, Virginia and Shelley Property Owner

  • "In one word, well two actually; simply fantastic."

    Sykes has the reach to help you choose what best fits you and, if anything, the pictures and description understate the property - which makes for a lovely surprise on arrival. Owners are on site and very amenable, helpful, pleasant and approachable. Only thing I missed was an additional armchair as the couch got a bit crowded with four of us relaxing... Not Goodbye then, but au revoir..

    Thank you for you taking the time to write a review and for your lovely comments. Sorry that your comfort was not met on this occasion (comments noted). We are really pleased you had a lovely time and hopefully see you again one day. Many Thanks Chris, Virginia and Shelley Property Owner

  • "Brightside is a very well-equipped, clean and comfortable property."

    The owners have clearly spent time, love and effort into making this a homely and stylish cottage in the heart of the Peak District. The property is surrounded by farms and walks, including the Nine Ladies at Stanton Moor. There are also two great pubs within a short walking distance. Bakewell, Chatsworth House and several other attractions are a short drive away. We used the EV charger, which was easy and very useful. Our children loved watching the sheep and horses in the neighbouring fields. The owners are easy to approach and very friendly. They made us feel very welcome. We had a truly wonderful stay here, and this property comes with our highest recommendation.

    Michael - it was wonderful meeting you and your family and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

    A beautiful and comfortable place to stay, well equipped, spacious, spotlessly clean and very well furnished. Plenty of extras such as a great tv, board games etc. The best holiday cottage we’ve ever stayed at - I’m sure we’ll be back.

    We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again. Chris and Virginia Property Owner

About the location

BIRCHOVER

Winster 1.3 miles; Bakewell 5.4 miles; Matlock 5.5 miles.

The picturesque gritstone village of Birchover is believed to once have been used by Druids as a ceremonial worship site. There’s a rock formation called Rowtor Rocks, with caves and carvings, prehistoric monuments and stone circles, including The Nine Ladies overlooking the village on Stanton Moor, where you can also find the Cork Stone. At Robin Hood's Stride and Cratcliffe Tor, a medieval hermit's cave can also be explored. Just five miles away, the popular town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham. In the opposite direction is the market town of Bakewell, and a little further beyond lies Chatsworth House and Park. With walking and cycling to suit all abilities, thriving villages and some wonderful scenery to enjoy, this part of the Peaks is sure to tempt you back time and time again.

Please note: The property can only accommodate 6 adults and one child aged 12 yrs or under
