  • "A fantastic and all too short stay in this beautiful barn conversion."

    The accommodation is set in a picturesque fairly remote but easy to find location and is within easy reach of Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth, Ilam, Dovedale. The accommodation itself is of a very good quality. I've stayed in a fair few holiday cottages and this was by far the best. The decor is of a high standard and all the fixtures and fittings were immaculately clean and of contemporary design. Especially loved the shower, fluffy towels and comfy bed. Despite being on a farm I hardly heard a sound other than an occasional bark from the very friendly farm dog. While I can appreciate the lack of working wifi could be an issue for many we were only there three nights and a good book, tv and cooking easily filled the evening time. Over all, I would definitley stay at Bank Top again. Thank you.

  • "Everything was very good except the issue with WiFi and phone signal."

    This has apparently been ongoing since July and whilst I sympathise with the owners if they are trying to resolve the issue without success, we really needed phone access as a minimum. We would also have expected more information about the local area in the cottage, if WiFi was not available. However, the cottage was lovely and an excellent base for exploring the area.

    As you can imagine this rather spoilt my holiday . So l would suggest the hallway should be kept clear and the shoe tray placed at the side of the stairs. Other than that it was a beautiful well equipped cottage .very clean and very comfortable.A couple of extra pillows would have been nice .

    The cottage is warm, spacious and cozy, a real home from home. It has every thing you need and with a teenager in tow it was perfect with 2 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus a loo downstairs. It was lovely to be in the countryside on a working farm (cows, goats, chickens and a very friendly little dog). The kitchen is perfect and has everything you need to self cater, we mainly ate in but did have a lovely evening meal at the Royal Oak pub just down the road. We had such a good time we didn't want to leave and will definitely be back.

    It was a very comfy cottage in a great location. The kitchen was probably the most well equipped of all the cottages we've ever stayed at. The only minor gripe was that the cold water didn't work in the shower over the bath - we all used the en suite shower, so it wasn't really a problem.

    Well thought out and provided almost everything we could have needed. The under floor was very effective & we felt snug despite the weather outside. Only thing was a lack of shaver charging point - not an issue but wish we’d have known in advance and would have brought the adapter.

    There was milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine upon arrival, which was a nice surprise. The cottage it's self is perfect. They provided everything for our 19month baby included bedding, towels, cot and high chair. So if we were travelling lighter or forgot anything it was there for her. If I was going to be picky, a king size bed would be lovely in the master bedroom as both my husband and are big people. And more plumb pillows. Also the curtain rails needed a slight dust at the ends. But that is being very picky. I would return in a heartbeat. Best cottage we've stayed in Derbyshire.

We enjoyed a variety of walks from the doorstep, with stunning scenery in all directions. The farm sits on a crossroads; all the roads are quiet and there are plenty of public footpaths nearby. Equally, it's not far from Dovedale and the Manifold Valley - or from Buxton or Bakewell.

I know it is a working farm but the cockerel disturbed our sleep every night. Some nights waking us (party of 4) several times throughout the night, then the dog would whine. So this cottage is not for light sleepers, which is such a shame because the cottage and it's location is otherwise perfect.

    Extremely spacious for a 2 bed holiday rental (would suit 2 couples as well as families), super clean, very comfy beds and the fluffiest towels! Extremely well equipped kitchen which even included baking equipment :) Games had been removed, but we’d been expecting this following a Covid update email from Sykes so took our own. Great quiet location (our first time staying in a farm), just a mile from Hurdlow where you can pick up the High Peak cycle & walking trail which also leads onto the Tissington trail. A very easy 10-15 mins drive into Buxton, 20 mins drive to Monsal Head. We can recommend the 30 min drive to Carsington Water for cycling & walking too. We didn’t visit any pubs or restaurants (we’ve not yet taken the plunge to eat out post lockdown), but there are many lovely looking pubs with beer gardens in the vicinity. But we did stop for outdoor refreshments at the cafe’s and kiosk’s along the cycle trails, all catered for all dietary requirements which was lovely as we have 2 dairy free in our family (vegan ice cream was stocked at most places). Highly recommended and we’d certainly stay again...maybe with friends next time as there’s a second holiday house next door :)

High Needham Farm Cottages

Longnor 2 miles. Two delightful semi-detached stone barn conversions in the grounds of the owners' Peak District National Park working livestock farm. Tastefully furnished, these spacious cottages are ideal for families or groups of friends looking for rural tranquillity but with lots to do within easy reach. Guests can enter the cottages from the front patio into the kitchen/dining room which have modern high-spec kitchens with quality tiled floors and high-backed leather dining chairs and tables. The sitting rooms have high quality furniture and carpets making them a very warm, comfy and calm space to relax in. There is also a French window at both properties which opens out to the patio where you could sit in the late afternoon sun and watch the farmer bring the cows in for milking. Corner Croft and Bank Top are excellent bases for country lovers to enjoy birdwatching, walking in the Manifold Valley or cycling on the Tissington Trail. Alternatively, you can spend some time in the quaint Staffordshire village of Longnor with its pubs, restaurants and shops, or there’s the delightful spa town of Buxton just six miles away. If you just have to try one of those famous puddings, Bakewell is a similarly short journey. Thrill seekers will be delighted to know that Alton Towers Theme Park is just a half hour drive for a fun, adrenaline-fuelled day out. With so much to do in the area, this cottage is a very comfortable and peaceful base from which town and country can be enjoyed in equal measure and in all seasons.
