"The cottage was just as it appeared in the pictures."
Everything was done to a high standard. Having never used an Aga before I thought we would find it difficult but the instructions were spot on. The hot tub was a lovely extra - I’d probably allow it more 3 hours to heat, than 2 though. There are some beautiful walks around the area. We did walk to the Ryles Arms which was a good 35/40 min walk via the road - the food is lovely there. All in all an absolutely lovely, peaceful, relaxing weekend and the owners were very helpful.

"What an amazing holiday cottage which has been sympathetically restored with no expense spared."
We spent a long weekend with friends there and we felt at home there straight away. It has everything and more that you could wish for!
The hosts, Liz and Kelvin, were so friendly and helpful, taking time out to chat to us and helping us sort the hot tub out which is heated by a log burner!
We loved that we could collect freshly laid eggs for breakfast from the chicken coup at the bottom of the garden.
The scenery around is beautiful, ideal for a chilling weekend away. We visited Leek and Bakewell and the Ryals Arms just up the road does wonderful food!
All in all we had the perfect weekend with friends in a beautiful cottage and the hosts couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend and we will definitely return!

"Really lovely cottage which was extremely well presented yet felt homely."
We had a really lovely time staying there and Liz and Kelvin were really helpful. Our daughter loved that she could let the chickens out and collect the eggs and she was fascinated by the goings on at the farm. Great location too.

"We had a wonderful time at Stag Cottage, The cottage has everything you need and looks like a show home."
All furnishings and facilities are 5 star. The area is ideal for exploring the Peak District with plenty of local walks. The owners (K & L) are very friendly and you are left alone to enjoy your holiday. The cottage is located on a working farm and therefore for safety reasons you are not permitted to wander around the farm yards or buildings. We had a wonderful holiday, and even had some snow.

"We have had such a wonderful time here at Stag Cottage!"
The minute we walked in, we knew this cottage was very special. It’s been decorated beautifully and it has such a cosy feel to it. We love all the accessories. The sofa and beds are so comfortable! It’s a very peaceful place. We enjoyed cooking on the arga, a whole new experience for us! Loved seeing the farm cat and the dog, sheep, horses and goats! We met Kelvin and Liz and they are such lovely, welcoming hosts! Thoroughly enjoyed our time. Will come again! Thanks so much Kelvin & Liz.

The cottage is outstanding the furnishings are top class, and the beds were so comfy, hot tub was great very hot, we had the best time and would definitely come back. Thank you Kelvin and Liz.

"We really loved this cottage."
Beautifully designed and presented with 3 large bedrooms and two bathrooms and an enormous kitchen with an Aga.
Outside was a very large wood fired jacuzzi which we used and was really nice..
They also left us a very generous welcome pack of wine, chocolates and popcorn.
There are several pubs nearby where you can eat at and ,20 mins drive, is the pretty historic town of Buxton which is a must see.
We would highly recommend this house.

"Beautiful cottage in a delightful setting creating a peaceful rural retreat from the hurley burley of modern life."
From the moment you enter the drive towards the property you step into a world of relaxation and tranquility. Liz and Kelvin are caring, very approachable and determined to make your stay memorable. A thoroughly enjoyable week.
What a pity that Sykes Cottage admin before our departure from home was nothing like the experience we had with our previous 4 bookings.

"We spent a week at the cottage as a family, and had a great time."
The hosts K&L were gracious, friendly, responsive and personable, and really went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The kids loved seeing all the animals on the farm, feeding the chickens and holding the newborn piglets! The cottage is spacious, well-stocked, and recently decorated to a high spec. The hottub was a bonus on a cold, wet week! The location is perfect - it’s remote enough so we could switch off and relax, but close enough to amenities in case needed. The village of Wincle (about 2 miles away) has a charming micro brewery and pub, and can be used as a departure point for some stunning country walks. The cottage is also within easy driving distance (or ambitious walking distance) of Lud's Church and the Roaches.
A couple of really minor things -
- Google Maps took us to the wrong farm (just down the road), so some clearer directions would be helpful.
- I really appreciated the laundry service and it was professional and really quick, but as a family (who did not pack enough clothes for a muddy week away!!) it would have been helpful to do our own laundry once or twice - so just worth noting that there is no washing machine
- a few extra kitchen utensils would have been helpful, e.g. peeler, spatula, serving / cooking spoon, more crockery
But all that being said, we had a fantastic week and would love to come back!
