Number 5

A very well equipped property, peaceful and comfortable, highly recommended

We had a wonderful week in the cottage with our dog Freya.

The cottage had everything we needed. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again

We had a lovely few days at the cottage.

The milk and biscuits were much appreciated after a longer journey than expected. The cottage was equipped with everything you need and very suitable for a dog. The enclosed garden was perfect for our terrier. A great location to visit the local area.

Lovely hosts, super location, yes it is a working farm but for us was part of the charm.

we really enjoyed number 5 comfy tidy and spacious and a nice outside space to seat and relax.

nothing to fault about it and we will go again and stay longer.

the cottage was first class ideal for visiting local places of intrest and ideal for our dog .

we loved it. certainly will be coming back.

We enjoyed a great stay at Number 5, Sue was friendly and welcoming and the cottage was fantastic, clean comfy and had everything we needed.

its in a great location to go off exploring, most places are 15 to 20 minutes drive which is great. will be back again for another stay.

Every applience you need, shower difficult to control the heat.

Farmyard cockralls very entertaining, as was the donkeys. Excellently positioned for major towns to visit.

A warm welcome from the owners and also a nice welcome gift of milk and biscuits greatfully received.

Sue the owner informed us if we need anything just to call over to the farmhouse which is very reassuring.The cottage is fully equipped and super comfy and clean. It is situated on a working farm . It was lovely to see the chickens rabbits and the peacock all wandering around beside the cottage. There is so many wonderful walking trails and beautiful scenery. The owners of the nearby village stores is very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to book the cottage again which will be our 3rd visit . Lovely cottage lovely owners.

Over all the property was very comfortable with lots of homily touches, Very nice holiday

A comfortable, clean, well maintained apartment that all we needed in an attractive part of the Peak District.

Would cetainly stay again

Accommodation was very good and clean, and well equipped.

Location was very good with Hartington just on the door step. Only real negative was the shower it was poor with not much pressure.

Lovely, clean, very warm, cosy and fully equipped cottage.

The beds are comfortable. There is no view but we weren't bothered about that as there were chickens and a noisy peacock to keep us entertained. We booked as it was on one level but there is 1 small step down from parking and one small step to the threshold. We would stay there again.

Attentive and welcoming hosts.

Accommodation fenced in so dog safe.masses of cutlery and cooking utensils, plates,glasses etc. Roomy with warm. Spotlessly clean. Terrific location for visits to area, Have booked again.

This was perfect for us, well laid out and comfortable.

Lovely cottage, larger than we expected and dog friendly with nice outside space.

Very comfortable and well equipped. Great location for visiting all the Peak District highlights. Great for 3 guests (although ordinarily we would be a four so not suitable in the future sadly) Only minor downside is relatively early check out time being 9am.

As others have said, the accommodation is located off the main A515 road is near Newhaven.

Accommodation was well equipped, clean and location was ideal for travelling, if a little remote facilities wise. Ideally suited for 2 to 3 people and yes, the resident Peacock does make appearances now and then. Despite the peacock and chickens, the accommodation was quiet and comfortable! A couple of minor improvements would be sorting out the sticking back door and improving the bath/shower water flow but other than that, I couldn’t really fault it.

Excellent all round.

This was our second stay and definitely intend in staying again. Certainly recommend as location perfect and everything you could possibly want in your accommodation.

Very comfortable accomodation, with all facilities you might need.

Just a couple of things, the gates to the property were all slimey due to the wet weather I know and the property is on a working farm with "farm smells " strongly around.

A beautiful cottage with some lovely extra's like toiletries, milk etc.

Very accommodating and we would definitely like to return.

Despite the dreadful weather our 2nd visit to number 5 was brilliant so much so we’ve booked for our 3rd visit!

The cottage has got everything anyone could possibly need it’s the warmest place we’ve stopped in and spotless! Comfy beds and furniture and a lovely enclosed garden for dogs.Getting a daily visit from the peacock for his treats was an absolute joy

Generally very comfortable and easy to keep warm in November.

All the facilities were good however, a larger, fixed mirror in the bathroom would be better. It is situated conveniently to give access to the Peak District and is ideal if you have a dog with tiled floors throughout. Thank you for a great visit.

Had a lovely stay at Number 5.

The accommodation was very clean and everything you need is there. The weather wasn’t great whilst we were there but the cottage was warm, comfortable and cosy and lovely to return to after a day exploring the beautiful Peak District.

A well presented, warm and cosy cottage that had everything we needed.

We will definitely be looking at returning in the future.

The cottage is well located for exploring the area.

The accommodation was comfortable, warm and well equipped. The immediate surroundings of the cottage comprised rather scruffy farm buildings with no view of the countryside. Had weather been fine we would not have used the outside seating area. So altogether disappointing.

This was our 2nd stay in number 5 and everything was as good as the 1st time.

Loved seeing the peacock each morning. A perfect base to go out exploring each day

A wonderful stay, wish we could have been there longer.

Very comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful surroundings and Sue is fantastic and helpful.

Very very comfortable cottage enclosed garden and central location perfect for our stay.

Beautiful cottage and very well equipped.

The slow cooker was a nice touch as it made dinner options easier whilst out exploring for the day. We had a great week exploring the area with our dog. The cottage garden was enclosed very well, this gave us peace of mind when we let our dog out to play. We would highly recommend this holiday cottage and will return again. Thank you for a lovely week.

No 5 was the best holiday cottage.

It was lovely and clean very comfortable and had everything you required. It was in a beautiful location. Loved the animals hens the peacock and bunnies all running around the farm yard. It was a wonderful experience. Can't wait to return. The owner was very lovely and friendly and There was lots of information on various trails,walks and historic houses to visit. Would recommend No 5 as a great holiday barn/cottage .

Very comfortable, well-equipped cottage.

Mostly wet during our stay but plenty to do in the area so we enjoyed the relaxing break.

No complaints about the cottage which was fine.

However, I must take issue with the description on your website . The cottage is not in Biggin which is about a mile away on the other side of the A515 road. Nor is it approached down a lane, the farm is directly off the A515 . I think people need to have confidence in your website descriptions and inaccuracies like this are not helpful hence the low score for accuracy of listing which is a reflection on Sykes and not the cottage.

What a beautiful few days away me and my sister and my beautiful boy Alfie golden lab had the best time beautiful cottage got every thing you need and it was very clean beds comfy carnt wait to book again and the special visitor was amazing to the peacock I would highly recommend this place and there's lots of places to vist think the pub called glass and bottle 5mins dwn the road there food his amazing and your made very welcome, and if you like cheese you must try the cheese shop amazing.

So thankyou to bank house farm for the best few days I will be booking again soon xxxx Donna Vicky and Alfie

WE had a wonderful stay in the cottage, using it as a base for touring the area & walks.

The cottage was well equipped and well looked after. It was nice to wake up in the mornings to see the chickens & peacock down the drive. Our dog would watch them from behind the gate, then we would take her for a walk around the caravan site at the back of the cottage. As it was a very hot weather during our stay, our host came by and gave a electric fan to help keep us cool. The location on the A515 was ideal for us as it made it easy to travel to different areas. Also just further up the road towards Buxton was the Jug & Glass in where was had some lovely meals.

Had a lovely week in the cottage.

Very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Excellent book of walks, places to go etc which was very helpful. Would definitely book again.

Great cottage.

Second Visit. Looking forward to.i the next one!

Very nice , clean , nicely enclosed .

for my little dog . Thankyou

Lovely clean, spacious accommodation.

Peaceful location. Tissington trail nearby.

We have stayed at number 5 several times and find it spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and very well equipped.

We look forward to staying again in the future.Best wishes Ron and Sue.

We have stayed at Bank House Farm several times and shall be reurning in the future.

The property is very clean got everything you need and is very cosy This is our third stay here love the place will be booking again

The ideal cosy cottage for a winter week away.

Loved No 5!

A really super Cottage with everything you need. Nice little garden for the dog, comfy bed, well equipped kitchen and large lounge area. Great WIFI signal, which is always a nonus and plenty of parking. Perfect position for visiting the Peak District.

Comfortable, quiet and warm accommodation with most things you could wish for provided.

Superb welcome pack and nicely decorated for Christmas. It was a bonus to be able to walk to the Tissington trail directly from the cottage and handily located a short drive away for walks along Milldale and Beresford Dale. Kedleston Hall is also not far to visit. We couldn't locate a bread bin or bread board and found the lighting a little dim for jigsaws, reading or crochet, etc. We also found the directions to the property could be a bit more exact and detailed - like specifying how many yards/miles from Newhaven. There are no directions provided for people approaching from the south as we were. However, none of these points adversely affected our stay which was lovely for the time of year (Christmas) so these are only minor points we noted.

Lovely warm welcome from the owner, we arrived after a storm she had the heating on for us with milk for tea and biscuits.

The property is lovely, everything you needed, well equipped kitchen with a slow cooker comfy beds and lounge, would highly recommend.

It’s all been said before…… perfection!

Wonderful warm clean cosy cottage with the most essentials and equipment provided in any cottage we’ve stayed in.Beautiful countryside on the doorstep to explore.

This is our 5th stay so says it all really Excellent quiet location in a perfect spot for getting around the peak district.

Owners are on site and are very helpful and friendly The cottage itself is comfortable,warm and has everything you need Also nice to see the chickens peacock and donkeys Cant recommend highly enough

Comfortable and warm cottage is an excellent base for walking/touring.

Comfy bed and the helpful owners even provided a blackout curtain for me when I enquired. A few cobwebs here and there but very clean overall. Excellent value for money I felt!

Great holiday let.

Clean, comfy and so well equipped. Barn conversion perfectly landscaped . Chickens peacock loads to explore locally. Perfect

Very well maintained cottage.

Had all facilities including a few dishwasher tablets and a bowl for the dog. Lovely location. Near all the things we wanted to visit. Owners helpful and live on the same site. A lovely stay

The best equipped cottage I have every been to, the area is outstanding

The cottage is well equipped; the bed is very comfortable and the shower over the bath is powerful.

It was nice to have the option of a bath. The kitchen has everything you need plus! The outside area was nice to use for dining and it was lovely to watch the peacock as well as the hens and their chicks. The price reflected the standard of the upkeep of the property. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it for its excellent location.

Plenty of space for 3 adults and very well equipped.

Immediate surroundings not very attractive but daily visits by Peacock and ducks livened our stay. Ideally placed for touring Derbyshire.

This property is ideally suited to our needs.

It is clean, practical and comfortable, providing everything you could reasonably want in a home from home.

Excellent property in a perfect location would highly recommend

Very comfortable cottage within a charming farmyard setting, free range poultry, ducks and a sociable peacock.

Close to great Derbyshire Dales walking. All ground floor, accessible for visitors with mobility issues. Wheelchair users will need to use a car to get anywhere due to location on the A515. Lots of great villages and towns within reach, dog friendly area.

We stayed at number 5 for 7 nights absolutely lovely and very comfortable, nice and warm also quite even though close to the road, kitchen well equipped with everything we needed, good enclosed area if you take your four legged friend, definitely recommend and we will be revisiting again

This is a super little cottage, ideally situated for exploring the Peak District.

It is a comfortable, quiet, well equipped, cosy cottage with an enclosed garden so perfect if you have a dog. We will definitely book this cottage again.

When we booked this on syke cottages it said it was in Biggin.

We know the area so was happy to be in village and walking distance to tisslington trail and pub, however once final amount paid and post code given it was actually in Newhaven not in a safe walking distance to trail or pub so we had to get in the car with the dog. Cottage was lovely and had everything we needed, perhaps the listing can be updated. I know you don't give postcodes until final amounts paid but thos should have been listed as Newhaven.

Excellent cosy, warm & comfortable cottage.

Garden secure for the dog & well lit at night. Everything provided - bedding linen, towels, wash cloths & washing up liquid + cleaning products if needed. Highly recommend.

Have stayed in this cottage quite a few times now and will keep coming back Clean, cosy and feels like home.

Is in a good position for visiting all areas of the peak district. It is set off the main road to Ashbourne and Buxton, but set back so no road noise. Peace and quiet. Owners are on site and quick to reply if any queries Would highly recommend

Very homely cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. Enclosed garden which was ideal for our dog. Very quiet with beautiful countryside all around. Owners available if you have a problem. Lovely relaxing week

Overall very good, in a lovely location, a few spiders and cobwebs around but a very cosy cottage.

Coffee had gone mouldy in the jar and sugar was damp, but no other issues, and would recommend other to stay there.

Frequent change of towels

Absolutely loved our weeks stay at No.

5! Great location to explore the peaks with a handy garage/shop just down the road. The property was lovely and clean and comfy with everything you could need. The garden is enclosed and secure so the dog could wander freely while using the patio area. The beds were comfy as was the sofa and the reclining chair after a hard day's hiking or cycling. The bath was also lovely and deep to relax in. The property is on a farm but the noise was very minimal and the resident peacock became a familiar friendly face at the door. We had a fabulous time and will definately be booking again! Thank you Susan and Philip x

Excellent cottage, well maintained every thing you need for a comfortable stay.

Ideal for our dog as totally walled garden was safe for her.

This was a lovely, usable property that suited our needs very well and we felt very much at home.

Of particular note was the very comfortable bed, the general quietness and the ease of access to the property. We would suggest that some new kitchen equipment is considered - for instance the baking trays are almost rusty and there appeared to be no bread boards. We had some late night noise from the tractor also - part of being on a working farm, I guess. Thank you for having us.

We had a very relaxing week at No.

5. and would highly recommend it. Very spacious, comfortable cottage. Electric recliner chair very welcome after a day hiking. Good fridge and freezer storage. Comfortable bed. Good wifi signal and mobile phone reception. Secure walled garden perfect for the dog. Great central location for visiting all parts of the Peak District. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

This was an excellent location and an excellent stay.

You felt at home straight away with everything in place to make our stay welcoming and homely. You feel you could just live there permanently. Perfect location for all holiday pursuits including biking, walking, exploring. The pub at Biggin has great food and the Tissington Trail is on doorstep for walking or biking. Overall this beats any hotel and much cheaper than a hotel too. Credit to the owners for their professional approach.

Lovely, peaceful time at No.

5. A very comfortable cottage with everything we needed. Enclosed garden great for the dog. No children with us but we immensely enjoyed seeing & speaking to the farmyard animals especially the donkeys & the beloved peacock! Great sleep every night in the really comfy beds & the sofas great to lie back watching TV & chilling. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby & some lovely eateries.

number 5 is a really great place to stay.

it is well equipped and tucked away at the back of the farm is quiet and private.although on the main road you would not know it and its very well placed to get to all the places you want to visit.we have been before and will be going again.a very comfortable nice cottage to stay...my only fault is i find the bed a bit soft for me but i normally sleep on a very firm bed,after the first night though i get used to it so it causes no problem

We had a lovely week in this cottage.

We found it is a good base for exploring the Peak District and managed to visit lots of places we had on our list. The property is very dog friendly with a good, secure garden so we weren't worried about our dog escaping when he was outside. The property is on a working farm so it can be a little noisy at times with tractors and machinery moving about, sometimes late at night, and there is a resident peacock who is beautiful but very vocal, and kept us awake sometimes! Overall though a lovely property with a spacious and practical open plan layout, and just a very easy and relaxed feel.

A lovely spacious cottage.

Everything we needed was there and more! Not troubled by the main road. Hope to return!

Brilliant week at no 5 despite the weather lovely warm cosy cottage met the local peacock and chickens and duck's Ideal place to visit attractions and town's just a 20 min drive.

Just back from a lovely few short days at Number 5.

The cottage is positioned tucked away from the main courtyard so you really do feel a sense of privacy. And with a fully enclosed garden, I was reassured that my dog was safe when he was outside. The open plan living area was welcoming and cosy and the bed was super comfortable, just what we needed after long hikes! And the bath! The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. Some of the walks we did; Chee Dale Stepping Stones and the Monsal Trail - Chee Dale was magical, made the stretch of the Monsal Trail we walked boring, in comparison. The Roaches and Luds Church circular - spectacular! Three Shires Head - amazing for a chilly dip - but the walk we did took us through a farm where we were knee deep in mud. Beresford, Wolfscote & Biggin Dales - a lovely easy walk but very busy on a sunny bank holiday Friday! Hartington village also worth a mention - very pretty and some nice shops. Would definitely recommend Number 5 to anyone wanting to stay in this area.

Our stay here was wonderful , really home from home, but better.

It was very comfortable , very clean, easy to find and close to lots of interesting places. We were greeted by Percy the peacock , and kept entertained by him with his regular visits. One thing I would have liked though, is a table and chair to sit outside while watching the evening draw in and to sit outside with my dog. But it doesn’t impact really on the wonderful time we had there and will definitely stay again!

The bungalow was one of the best properties we have stayed in with all appliances etc.

The hosts were so helpfulin helping us clear the snow as we got snowed in ! Ideal location to explore the Peak district

Warm and cosy cottage.

Owner very helpful. Would not hesitate to stay again.

The directions are a little vague and the postcode took us to the wrong destination!

The gentleman that opened his door says it happens all the time! When we eventually got there we could not fault one thing. The barn has everything and more and we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away.

The property was very clean warm and comfortable, safe for the dogs, well equipped, the owner was helpful and friendly, would love to go back

A lovely property in a great location, very clean, warm and spacious.

Had a fantastic time and will be back, thank you.

Could not fault it in any way, and yes, I would recommend it to people.

.

The cottage was warm, quiet comfortable and apart from cooking utensils was well equipped.

The setting was wonderful, right in the middle of the area we love most. We have already booked for next year

Was a lovely place to stay and we no problems at all

Lovely, cosy, clean, welcoming we would stay again.

Thank you Sue and Phil

Highly recommended, the photos of the cottage inside and out are a true reflection of the property.

Absolutely superb .

We had a fabulous stay in number 5.

A truly lovely cottage. Great to come out of a morning to see the resident peacock and chickens. Would highly recommend.

This is our fourth stay at this property It is clean and warm and has everything you need for a home from home stay Owners are on site and are friendly and helpful if needed It is perfect for the trails and dove dale is just down the road Very happy, no complaints whatsoever

Superb cottage lovely peaceful place to stay especially with our dog so safe for her to wander around the garden area.

spotlessly clean everything you could need and nice touches.much bigger than we expected and in a good location.loved our stay

Lovely cottage.

Very comfy, warm and with everything you need. Would love to stay here again if I’m In Derbyshire.

A really lovely, clean, cosy property.

Owners were friendly and helpful.

Lovely cottage in a great location that allows easy access to the whole Peak District.

Our daughter loved the resident Peacock and the hens/ducks!

The cottage is situated on a very busy main road, the noise can be heard all the time, which isn't mentioned in the listing.

It's not the most warm and friendly welcome by the lady that owns the property. We had a problem with the dishwasher and couldn't use it, we did inform the owner but had no reply. If you don't mind the above it's a lovely stay, and the donkeys on the farm are a wonderful bonus!

What a Great place to stay Had a very friendly welcome from Owner Cottage has all you need to have a great stay great enclosed garden for our dog and a friendly Peacock Chicken and Duck and even Donkeys only fault shower lacked power Would stay again and would recommend 100%

Relaxing break away and really appreciated the delivery of a fan by owner in preparation for the excessive heat forecast.

Lovely secure garden for our small dog

Loved this place, will definitely stay again when we next explore Hartington area of Derbyshire.

what a find this cottage was,the property is well equipped with good quality furniture and cooker,fridge freezer washer etc.

there is even an enclosed garden area which is great for your dog.the owners are really friendly too.we did wonder if the road might be a little noisy but fear not,this is a lovely quiet peacefull cottage where a good nights sleep is assured in the comfy bed.the hot water is permanantly available so no matter what time you need a good long soak you can have one.we spent a week here and we had booked it for next year after the first day

The cottage was well maintained and very comfortable.

A wonderful week in a wonderful place to stay!

The cottage was perfect, we wanted for nothing, in fact it is a place that we could live in "as is"! Spotlessly clean and comfortable, in a beautiful place, the wrap-around totally enclosed garden was perfect for our little dog. We loved watching the ducks, chicken and peacock! We would happily return.... thank you!

I wonder how we would have managed in really hot weather.

An additional waste basket in bedrooms would have been helpful

Our 2nd visit to No 5 which suits us perfectly on one level as it is suitable for disabled husband and so roomy and cosy inside.

Everything needed is provided. Also perfectly located for visiting Chatsworth, Carsington Water, Dovedale, Milldale, Bakewell, Buxton...I could go on and on!! Just lovely!

Have stayed before, equivalent of same week last year and found it to be same easy comfortable place to stay and relax in.

Only difference was the garden furniture was not out in the private garden this year and did miss sitting out there listening to the birds and watching the ducks and peacock. It’s only tiny difference and to be fair if we’d asked I’m sure it would have been brought out. Great easy place to bring the dog to with its enclosed bit if garden.

Lovely clean and comfortable.

Nice exclusive use of patio. Good to have Netflix. Just thought 4pm arrival and 9am departure were bit late and too early.

Excellent property.

Home from home. Would highly recommend. Owners very friendly and welcoming.

This cottage was perfect for me.

I loved it! Quiet warm and comfortable and well located for the Tissington Trail and surrounding areas. Myself and dog will definitely be back ASAP for an even longer stay.

A great stay at number 5.

It had all the facilities we required and was very clean. It wasn’t too far away from some pubs, shops, etc. We would highly recommend!

Wonderful 2nd home we love it here and visit time and time again.

Fabulous with fabulous owners.

This is our third visit and will be back again Ideally situated between the Tissington and high peak trails, also 5-10 mins drive from dovedale.

The cottage is lovely and warm, plenty of parking and, although near a main road, is set back so nice and quiet Owners are on site and helpful if needed. It has a small enclosed garden which is perfect for my little dog. Has all the amenities that you need for a comfortable stay

The location is very good, and numbers 5 is located well in the site too.

A great cottage if you have a dog as it is in its own enclosed area. Clean and comfortable and well equipped. Friendly attentive owner on site. We booked again at the end of our lovely stay.

We liked the location of this cottage in the Peak District National Park as it is good for easy access to all the main places of interest.

Perfect converted barn for disabled husband all on one level.

The barn was very spacious so easy to move around with a 4-wheeled walker. Situated close to many lovely places such as Ashbourne, Bakewell, Buxton and Dovedale. Superb scenery! Garage up the road sold milk and bread and sometimes our favourite paper! Will definitely stay in No 5 again which suited our needs perfectly. Greeted each morning by ducks, hens, rabbits, 3 donkeys, swallows AND a displaying peacock!!! Great holiday with 7 sunny days. Just lovely!

Lovely cottage with great atmosphere and facilities.

Very clean and well equipped and a pleasure to come home to after walking the Peaks each day. Definitely recommended!

Lovely warm cottage, very dog friendly with excellent walks nearby.

Would like to return when we get an opportunity.

We had a wonderful stay in this well equipped and spacious cottage.

It's in a great location and is a good base for walks and visits to Bakewell and Ashbourne.We were delighted to be greeted by the resident peacock on our arrival. For those who like a large mug of tea/coffee I suggest you bring your own as the mugs are on the smallish size.

Lovely place, clean and tidy, well equipped and warm.

Lovely area and beautiful farm site.

Couldn't won't for a better place.

So friendly, everything in the cottage you need. very central for all shops, lovely walks or just sit back and relax. Will be booking again for another holiday. Highly recommend.

Owners helpful and welcoming.

m

A lovely cottage in a great area the family who own the cottages were so welcoming and we had a fantastic stay.

Would so recommend booking we have booked to come again.

With out a car ,would be difficult to get to places , there was no timetable for buses.

Best for walking holidays.Lovely scenery.

We had a lovely stay, and the cottage was everything we expected, very clean, and comfortable.

It was lovely to meet the donkeys, there are many walks nearby, and dog friendly pubs nearby. Also a fully enclosed garden perfect for a dog, we would definitely book again. Thanks to the owners for a lovely week in your cottage, Mel, Heather, and peppa

The property was lovely and clean, tastefully decorated and very well appointed.

Our little boy thoroughly enjoyed his holiday, seeing Percy the wild peacock and the chickens every day. The property has a lovely enclosed garden with a seating area that was a real sun trap! The property also benefits from a washing line, although when we stayed it rained most days and as there was no Electric heated towel rail we had to put on the heating on a couple of occasions to dry the towels after showering. That said, the property is lovely and warm and the heating came on and warmed the radiators within minutes so did not need to be on for very long to warm the bathrooms ladder radiator. The bathroom benefits from a lovely Electric power Shower over bath. This was ideal for us as a young family. The property has a washing machine (very useful for washing face masks during this pandemic and with a messy toddler) and dishwasher which were very simple to use, instruction manuals were left though should they be needed. The microwave and cooker were also very simple to operate. The property also had a DVD player, freesat, WiFi, cd radio and a nice large television. The settee in the sitting room was incredibly comfortable, as was our little boys bed. We found the double bed mattress was too hard for us, and my husband felt as though he was being tipped out- but mattresses are a very personal choice and those who like an Orthopaedic mattress would love it. The owner, Sue, was very helpful and approachable. During our stay I found that the hairdryer in the double room had been put away broken and went to notify her (the owners live nearby), she immediately brought out a new one. I also mentioned the double bed as we departed and she said that she’d thought the bed was low, and would be ordering a new one. I had brought cleaning products, but there were some provided which was great. There were also some toiletries in the bathroom which was a thoughtful touch as something always gets forgotten! Sue had also provided antibacterial hand sanitizers for use during the stay which was another thoughtful and unexpected touch. There was a useful information guide provided, and after a 5.5hr drive a very welcome pint of milk and chocolate biscuits to go with the tea and coffee on arrival. We would definitely look to stay again as the property is so nicely cared for and maintained, in a beautiful central location (for local attractions, walks and my husbands family).

Cottage was warm, comfortable & very well equipped.

Plenty of excellent walking nearby & easy access to the Monsal & Tissington cycle trails. Tissington trail accessible straight from the cottage.

The cottage was beautiful.

The facilities within it were amazing. We couldn't have asked for more. Great place to stay.

We had a wonderful Christmas week away in this lovely cottage.

The kitchen is really well equipped, the sofa's really comfy, the hosts had decorated it for Christmas and left us a basket of goodies - really thoughtful touch. Would highly recommend this cottage.

Very well fitted out, very warm and comfortable and central location for exploring the Peaks.

Highly recommended.

Was our second visit and will definitely book again.

The cottage is warm and welcoming, all mod cons. Set back from a main road, no obvious road noise, plenty of parking (not like some villages we came across) and central for all main towns and trails. Owners are close by and very helpful if needed. Cannot recommend highly enough

Wonderful break in a very comfy, warm, well equipped property.

Perfect with our dog and 9 year old daughter. We would definitely go back. Super spacious and perfect for a family of 3.

The cottage was warm,comfortable and very clean.

Our hosts ,mother father and son were all very helpful and pleasant and we had a most enjoyable holiday

Really enjoyed lovely countryside very peaceful and felt relaxed.

Great holiday barn conversion was just right for us.

Very close to everything we wanted to visit. Home from home, sue the owner was lovely she told us if you need anything just ask. The barn had everything you could need we were not short of anything very well stocked cooking equipment, lovely warm comfortable clean barn conversion, my friend liked it so much she wanted to move in perminantly. Service from sykes cottages really good will look to book through them again for my next UK holiday and now you can pay in instalments just makes it even more accessible for all, very well done Sykes

Fantastic cottage lovely situation/views Very pleasant owners Just needed a few more bowls and small containers in the kitchen equipment provided One of our best holiday cottages so far

The location of the cottage was ideal.

We didn't have to travel far to access the numerous amount if walks available nor sightseeing such as Chatsworth House and the towns of Matlock, Ashbourne, Buxton and Bakewell. The actual cottage was hidden away from the main road at the side of the farm. Easy parking and all facilities available within the cottage. The owner lived onsite and the family were very amicable. Our dog was made very welcome...

This was the first holiday we have had in a long while.

The weather was atrocious, however the cottage made up for it. Situated within a group of others and alongside the owners own house, it still remained quite private with its own little garden and patio. Ideally situated between both the monsal and the tissingon trails in a quiet location. Will definitely return hopefully in better weather!

The wrap around garden was secure for our dog so we didn't have to worry about her getting out.

Really nice accommodation and spacious. Would definitely go again.

This cottage is the diamond in the blue john, above and beyond our expectations, we're sure if there are any problems Sue would sort it immediately but there was absolutely nothing wrong, stayed at No.

5 while visiting friends,can't wait to see them again so we can return to No.Thank you for fantastic accommodation Sue PLEASE DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING

Enjoyed our stay at number 5.

The cottage was spotless and well equipped. Close to Dovedale which is a lovely spot although extremely busy at weekends & school holidays. Wouldn’t recommend if don’t like to be disturbed by neighbors in adjoining cottages which didn’t bother us at all. Also on busy main road if want total peace and quiet. The cottage would be perfect in any weather ie cool inside on hot days but would also be cosy during colder spells. Would happily return.

The cottage was extremely comfortable and well equipped.

We needed a complete break from the hustle and bustle of a busy life, and this cottage and the location gave us just that.
