  • "The Nook was a very comfortable place to stay and convenient for places we wanted to visit."

    Some fabulous provisions were provided which we did not expect,a lovely welcoming touch.Although we ate mainly at local pubs we could have cooked a full meal in the cottage as all utensils were there.It was warm and cosy and we will certainly recommend to friends and family.

  • "The Nook is situated in the village of Great Longstone, which is well placed for the monsal trail and other lovely walks straight from the door also 2 pubs serving good food are just 2 minutes walk away."

    The owners have thought of everything you may need and the extra treats are a lovely touch. The nook is spotlessly clean with very comfy beds plus an undercover seating area which is great for enjoying a drink if the weather is not great, there is a small courtyard with outside seating too for when the weather is warm. We had a lovely stay and felt very at home, Sylvia is just next door if needed but not intrusive, we will definitely go back and would not hesitate in recommending the nook .

  • "What a wonderful hideaway!"

    Quiet, cosy, clean and comfortable with its own parking space and yet very close to the small shop and two excellent pubs in the village, with plenty of footpaths and cycling opportunities, including the Monsal trail, nearby. The owners, who live next door, were very welcoming - but not at all intrusive - and provided an exceedingly generous welcome pack. Much appreciated. Thank you! The little, private, courtyard garden and covered veranda are a fabulous addition to the property providing a quiet retreat in which to relax, either in the sun or shade, with plenty of seating and cushions provided. We stayed for a week in March and experienced the full range of weather from warm sunshine to snow. We thoroughly enjoyed soaking up the spring sunshine on the patio but the veranda was far too cold to sit in so I imagine it will be a gloriously cool and dry space to enjoy on a hot, or wet, summer day. We have stayed in many Sykes cottages, over the years, and have never been disappointed but this has definitely been one of the best. Despite making it a rule never to stay in the same place twice, I would love to return to this one! A word of warning for those less agile: there is a short, but very steep, road up to the property and uneven surfaces, through the courtyard garden, to access The Nook.

About the location

GREAT LONGSTONE

Bakewell 3.3 miles.

The pretty Derbyshire village of Great Longstone is situated in a wonderful location in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Great Longstone is nestled in an enviable position, flanked by Longstone Edge, with Bakewell and Chatsworth House close by. The village offers two traditional village pubs, a shop, 18th century stone cottages and a market cross that is situated on the delightful village green. The Monsal Trail runs through the village and provides eight and a half miles of scenic traffic-free walking and cycling, with the spectacular viaduct at nearby Monsal Head and several tunnels along the route to keep the whole family interested. Just down the road lies the picture postcard village of Ashford-in-the-Water, which boasts a medieval Sheepwash Bridge, once a major crossing point over the River Wye for packhorses delivering mail from Derby. The nearby, renowned market town of Bakewell, which can be accessed via the Monsal Trail, offers a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs, together with frequent local farmers' markets. Take a stroll along the river bank to feed the ducks and geese and see the ‘love locks’ on the foot bridge. The spa town of Buxton with its Opera House is also within driving distance. You could also visit the many stately homes including the iconic Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall, or take a trip to the World Heritage Site of the Richard Arkwright Mills in Cromford, all of which are within easy reach. With the impressive castle and caverns at Castleton close by, you'll be spoilt for choice at this fantastic location.
