  • "I cannot fault the place, it was perfect for a group of friends' weekend."

    Clean, warm, well equipped and very comfortable. Only 5 minutes walk to a great pub and good walks at the Roaches and the reservoir. The host Suzanne was extremely friendly and welcoming. We will certainly return.

  • "Surprised to find stone floors in the downstairs bedrooms which I felt were unsuitable for our young children."

    I did mention to the owner at the end of the stay that the wet room downstairs did not work well for this family. Upstairs bedrooms comfortable. The property was just what we needed though the furnishings were not all as described on Sykes Cottages website. Lovely location.

  • "The Rindle was perfect for our group of 14 for a long weekend stay."

    Very comfortable, well equipped and nicely furnished. Helpful hosts who made us feel welcome and helped with any questions we had. We had a lovely local chef in on the Saturday evening and a lush Sunday lunch at The Lazy Trout, a short walk from the barn. Enjoyed local walks from the barn and swimming at the reservoir. Everyone left feeling very relaxed - would definitely recommend

  • "We just loved our stay at the Rindle."

    It was perfect. We were 5 adults and 5 children and it was an ideal place to stay. The house had everything we wanted and the setting was wonderful. The children loved playing in the buttercup field next to the garden: it was a really safe place to play. We did lots of things. but the one they liked the best which was completely free, was climbing the Roaches. We also played several times in the amazing play area at the Visitor Centre by the lake. What a surprise to find such an amazing play area within walking distance of our house. We also walked from the house up on to Gun Moor and back down to the house through farmland. We went canoeing on the lake, went on the Steam Train at Rudyard Lake (after which Kipling was named), walked along the Manifold Way, walked along Lathkill Dale, went to the stone circle at Arbor Low and had Bakewell Pudding in Bakewell. All in all a perfect holiday

  • "We had a lovely stay at the Rindle this weekend."

    I booked the cottage for 3 nights for 14 people to celebrate my 30th birthday, and it was the perfect size and layout. The location is excellent with a 5 minute walk to the lazy trout pub and the reservoir, and a lovely ridge walk across the roaches not too far away. The weather was nice enough for us to have a barbecue and there was plenty of seating outside for everyone. The property was clean and tidy when we arrived and the host kindly showed us around the property and answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in this area of the Peak District.

  • "We had such a great stay."

    Plenty of room for a big group of friends and lots of outdoor space for having fun and relaxing in the sunshine. The host Suzanne was so welcoming and friendly ensuring we had everything we needed. Pub is only a short wander away and we ended up going there twice as they were hospitable and decent value. Would definitely come back.

    Great space for our group to cook,eat, relax,play games or watch TV all together. Plenty of parking space and room for a football kickabout. Everything we needed for our family and friends break away. Lovely local pub in walking distance along with the lake. Friendly welcome from the onsite owner - pretty much perfect!

  • "It was a lovely property with no complaints from any of the 10 guests we stayed with."

    The owners were always available on site and quickly responded to any question of support we needed. The surrounding area is beautiful for some super walks and the Lazy Trout pub in Meerbrook( a 5 minute walk down the road) was fabulous for a drink and served great food .

  • "Our group included 3 toddlers and we were a little apprehensive about how we would keep them safe without a staircase, but we needn't have worried."

    All the internal doors have traditional cottage style latches at shoulder height and we could close these and contain the toddlers. There is also a single step change in floor level across the main room but even so, there were no trip ups. Very well equipped kitchen with large fridge freezer. Fantastic area with lots for everyone to enjoy. Huge play are at the nearby lake and the miniature steam train at Rudyard lake, and Castaway play in Astly were much enjoyed by all.

  • "Fantastic cottage for our group of 3 families."

    Open kitchen/living room was sociable and the huge dining table meant we all ate in comfort. WiFi was great too especially as we struggled with phone reception. Owners were very friendly and helpful without impinging on our holiday. Location is good too, with a variety of walks straight from the door, and the pub only 600m down the road.

  • "Our cottage was very clean, tidy, spacious and suitably stocked with crockery etc."

    In addition the local pub (The Lazy Trout) served both good beer and food. The nearby reservoir also had a good cafe and children's play area. Both the reservoir and the play area are within walking distance of the cottage. I would definitely recommend The Barns at Alderlee holiday cottage.

    Despite being a large family group the accommodation was spacious and worked perfect for the mix ages (1 x grandparents, 2 lots of parents and kids aged 9,8,6,5,1). Despite saying internet could be intermittent, we had no issues (thank goodness). We visited the Tittlesworth Water (park, coffee shop, lovely walk - very family friendly - 7/10 - water was low!). Three Horseshoes (Carvery - looked nicer outside than it was on the inside 5/10). Peak Wildlife park (ideal for under 10's - spot on for us, great activities, lovely staff, even on a wet day, ideal - 9/10). Lazy Trout - went twice for food (could have gone more - delicious!) and for a couple of quick drinks 10/10. Rudyard Lake - beautiful peaceful setting, train very reasonable. Again great family time. 8/10. Gullivers Kingdom (we made the most of it. Not buggy friendly, tired, but some good rides, and would not take much to make this place amazing. Not enough parking! 5/10). Poole's Cavern (really interesting tour - for all ages. Walked up to Solomon's temple too - v windy! 8/10). Primo Piano, Leek (great food, very accommodating, don't open until 6, which is a bit late for our littlies! 9/10). The Roaches and Tea room (Amazing walk on the doorstep! Went up the south side, past Roaches Hall - kids loved the mild challenge and we were generally protected from the wind! Tea Rooms were lovely - we should have made it a main meal here, as we didn't need dinner after great service - 9/10). We had a great week, and we are already discussing coming back again!
