Number 3

What can I say just great no problems as for the peacock star of the show a very big thank you ☺️

Lovely clean place, home from home with everything we needed supplied, brilliant shower, warm and cosy rooms with comfortable beds!

Percy peacock kept us entertained. The hosts are nearby but not intrusive and were very welcoming. The place is easy to find and well kept. We loved our stay in the beautiful countryside.

Delightful property, very clean and well footed out .

Couldn’t fault . Also enjoyed the meals at Biggins Hall hotel

Great accommodation fully kitted out and in a great location for touring the area.

Only downside is the toilet is downstairs which can be a problem for older people. Perry the peacock was great fun who constantly came to the back door to say hello, kids would love it. Would totally recommend this converted barn.

This property was one of the best properties we have stayed in over the years.

It was nice and clean, comfortable, well furnished and well kitted out. We couldnt fault it and thoroughly recommend it to stay in and enjoy. Thank you very much Mr and Mrs Brabury.

This was our third visit to the barn, and as usual everything was perfect for our needs.

Clean, comfortable and great location for exploring the Peak District. We have stayed here during snow, rain and on this occasion mainly sun and have always found lots to do out and about and it's great to come back to the cosy, well equipped barn at the end of the day. Thank You!

A lovely comfortable property in a beautiful location,and a good base for exploring.

This was my second stay at No 3 and I’d love to visit again. There were 2 minor problems during my stay and the owners sorted them out straight away. Very happy with the whole experience!

Lovely, comfortable stay as described.

Has everything you need and I would be more than happy to stay again. The property was quite dusty and the blankets need washing but otherwise clean and well maintained. There was also a container with someone else's medication left in the property when we arrived, luckily up high on a shelf as we had toddlers with us so could have been dangerous if got into their hands. The oil boiler is very loud when it kicks it but you do get used to it! And with it being so open plan you have to make sure you are staying with polite friends and family who will respect noise levels within the property!

The cottage was lovely.

Clean and comfortable. There are no doors on the bedrooms due to the layout of the conversion, this was not an issue for my sister and I. However, it may not be appropriate for others. We enjoyed feeding the resident peacock who came knocking on the back door each morning. There is not a huge amount of natural light in the property due to it being a barn conversion; however, the owners have provided plenty of lamps and overhead lighting so this was not an issue for us. An extra shelf in the oven would be better as it was difficult to cook numerous items at the same time with only one shel. In addition, a drainer would have also been useful for the dishes and a container to leave the recyclable items in rather than at the side of the bin as indicated. However, these small things did not detract from our stay which was excellent. The cottage was wonderfully warm, the lady we dealt with was pleasant and we would not hesitate to return if in the area again.

Everything about this property was great!

It also had Wi-Fi which was not listed as an amenity

The property met our basic requirements, however when searching for the property on Google Maps (Bank House Farm, Nr Buxton, Newhaven, Derbyshire, United Kingdom, SK17 0DS) it brings up somewhere else, in Hulme End.

We had therefore booked the pub in Hulme End for our evening meal, so were disappointed with the mix-up. The details for the property do not state that there are no doors on the bedroom, we recommend this is addressed. There was a mouse in the kitchen. The shower was nice.

Comfortable cottage with all amenities.

Convenient for all places of interest.

Within 30 minutes felt like home so cosy had everything I wanted When we had been out all day came back to home Lovely

This is probably the best equipped cottage I have ever stayed in-milk,biscuits and toiletries on arrival,plenty of toilet rolls,dishwasher tablets-I really couldn't think of anything that wasn't provided.

It was also spotlessly clean and comfortable.The resident peacock and his sidekick duck were always welcome visitors to the back door.,You can hear the traffic noise from the busy main road but I live near a motorway and know that after a while you just don't notice it's there but if this bothers you this is not the cottage for you,being on this main road does however mean that the attractions of the White Peak are all easily accessible.Finally I would just like to say I had a wonderful stay and would recommend it totally.

We had a wonderful time staying at no.

3. It was comfortable, well connected and spacious - even with our family of 5! Percy the peacock was a favourite of the children (aged 5, 3 and 1) and they were over the moon to spot him sauntering by our back door in the mornings. The chickens were also well loved and a great source of amusement We had a few minor quibbles - the listing including washer/dryer which we had hoped to use but the machine was just a washing machine. The bedrooms had flights of stairs leading directly up into them with no doors so sound carried around the property, not ideal considering we have small children. But these were minor things and didn’t impact the joy of our stay at all - in fact apart from the washing machine the kitchen was one of the best equipped holiday cottage kitchens we’ve had and even boasted a slow cooker which we took advantage of! And after being worried about the road noise (after reading other reviews) we had no issues and barely noticed the main road just next door. Do note that if you are a family this property is not really set up for small children. We coped by keeping the living room door shut so the toddler couldn’t reach the stairs, we bought a few toys at a charity shop on one of our visits and we brought our own high chair and travel cot. Again this didn’t detract from how wonderful the stay was, but certainly something to keep in mind

Beautiful place.

Excellent facilties everything you could need. Very comfy beds. Very clean. Only problem was it's next to a very busy road that is very noisy all night long. It really affected our sleep. I did not know there were no doors to the bedrooms. This caused a bit of a problem for us due to having children. Other than that it was excellent amd for the price it was very good value

2nd Stay at No.

3. Such a lovely place to stay, had such a nice relaxing week with lots of walking.

No3 was ideally situated.

It provided everything that we needed. The shower, hot water pressure and the heating system were all excellent. The beds and bedrooms were comfortable.

I was very happy with the cottage and its facilities, and have nothing at all negative to say!

I hope very much to be able to visit again ( and the peacock was a great addition to the setting!)

Nice, well equipped property for us and our 2 teen sons.

Location was perfect for exploring the Peak District, spent the week walking and didn’t have to drive far for any of our planned walks. Quiet location with Buxton only 15 minutes drive away for shops etc. would definitely book again

The cottage is comfortable, warm and welcoming.

Everything we needed. The extra touches, toiletries, toilet rolls, milk, biscuits, tea and coffee very welcome and thoughtful. Ample room for parking, easy access to both Ashbourne, Buxton and the village of Hartington. Easy check in/out. We have stayed there before and will definitely stay again.

What a find!

This property is fabulous. Everything you need is here. Great location. Exceptionally clean and tidy. Beds really comfortable great shower. We cannot fault it in any way and would highly recommend.

Love it!

We shall return again!

Excellent accommodation.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Minor criticism, sofa a tad tired and worn. Everything else, fabulous.

Loved the cottage want to return so many places to viisit

After initially getting lost on the way and having to phone the owner (which was our fault lol) we received a very warm welcome on arrival by the owner, who had also provided us with milk and biscuits for a much needed cuppa.

The cottage was beautiful, cosy, very clean and very well equipped in fact it exceeded our expectations. It was perfectly situated to explore the area with lots of interesting places to visit within a half hour drive away. The resident peacock was just adorable and we saw him several times during our stay. I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage and would happily stay again

Our 4rh trip here its our yearly battery recharge holiday break.

Peaceful and quiet the cottage has everything we need well stocked kitchen ,fabulous new bathroom. The owners are lovely they don't bother you always leave a treat for you . Well be back next year. The Waterloo pub in Biggin worth the visit food always good,and Hartington bit further up the road for fabulous cheeses and lovely gift shop.

The property was lovely very clean and tidy , pictures don’t do it justice, bed was very comfy.

Given a warm welcome by the owner.

Property clean and tidy. Well laid out. It's an excellent location for visiting the Peaks and Dales. Owner was very helpful when we had an issue with one of our cars when leaving the property.

Perfectly located for competing in the 6 Dales Challenge from Biggin.

Very clean with great facilities and chocolate biscuits ! Only downside would be the mattresses need replacing and obviously no doors on the bedrooms which we were aware off.

N ot really a property for older people or for a family .

More suitable for for young couples and young people in general .

We had a lovely In no 3.

Every thing was lovely and clean.and nice and warm.All we needed was there.It was just a nice quiet place to stay.We would certainly recommend it to others. Thankyou.Phil and Ann

The cottage was beautiful.

Clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Thanks for choccie biscuits

I have stayed in many Sykes properties over 25 years this is very much at the top.

The welcome was very warm with a tour of the accommodation. Kitchen is equipped with every appliance you would have at home. Lounge has comfortable settees with tv and dvd. A radio is provided for early morning listening whilst enjoying breakfast. Bathroom is well equipped with an excellent shower. Bedrooms are large with a double wardrobe and plenty of coat hangers, also drawers for smaller items. Beds comfortably with good duvet and pillows. Have a walk around the yard meet the chickens, donkeys and the friendly peacock. Had fun feeding him morning and evening. Going out, everything is within 12 miles, Buxton, Tram Museum at Matlock and many more interesting places. 27 miles away is Biddulph a lovely national trust garden please go and enjoy. Thank you Sue very much for a wonderful week’s holiday Ray.

First-class accommodation in a stunning location - we loved every minute of being there.

It was a genuine home from home. If I have one micro-niggle, it's that there was no salad bowl or water jug, and most of the kitchen knives were well overdue a sharpening! But these are hardly showstoppers. We'd come again in a heartbeat. Fabulous place.

Lovely surrounding area and cottage the only slight downside was Bedrooms upstairs and toilet and shower downstairs as an 80+ person I found this a little convenient but of course the level of facilities were understandably reflected in the price.

Faultless stay, beautiful farm.

My 12 yr old daughter cried all the way home because we had to leave there a little sooner than expected (and she’s hard to please at times so that’s a huge compliment!!) And I’d be lying if I didn’t say that the friendly resident peacock made the holiday extra special. NB An added bonus. Although we were prepared not to have any, the website did state there wasn’t any wifi at the cottage, but there was, this would be a significant game changer for would-be bookers if you were to amend your advert. Especially as there is no mobile phone service here, so for emergencies, booking activities / restaurants, etc, the wifi for mobile ‘call assist’ alone proved essential.

Had a lovely stay, I would come again.

The listing could have been clearer that there are no doors on the bedrooms though.

The cottage was comfortable and clean and had everything you need for a relaxing week away.

On arrival we were shown in by a young man who settled us in and tho we never met the owners, we were told if we needed anything the owners lived on site so just to ring them or knock on their door. The cottage is situated in a lovely area of the Peak District and it's only a short drive to some good local pubs and towns. It was very peaceful and even had a very friendly peacock who would wait outside the back door to be fed. It was a good base if your planning on doing some walks in the area and even tho the weather was against us most days we managed to do some walks we had planned. Would definatley reccommend staying here and hope to return sometime in the future.

Perfect in every way for our first visit to the Peak District.

Arriving at 0700 after a car breakdown the day before, we were greeted on site and shown around by the owner. Fantastic reception and really set the tone for the whole week. Quiet, cosy, comfortable and with all mod cons. Plenty of visits from the friendly birds on site and we could not have wished for better. Loved everything about this property.

brilliant location, peacock friendly very tidy, very comfortable

A beautiful, clean and comfortable cottage, the owners are very friendly and welcoming and there are so many attractions and walks within a short distance.

Our holiday was sadly cut short but we will definitely be returning.

This was our second stay with this owner, we once again received a warm welcome to a clean and well kept property.

The property is perfectly placed in the middle of the Derbyshire market towns, great for exploring the local towns and also plenty of outside spaces and walking/cycling trails within easy reach. We will be returning to Derbyshire again in the future.

Beauttiful cottage, well maintained (though the lock to the door was/is stiff which we mentioned at the time to the owner), well laid out.

Milk in the fridge and the biscuits on arrival was a lovely touch. Thank you.

Excellent accommodation

A lovely spacious holiday cottage with everything you could want for a restful break.

Weather wasn't too kind to us, so having comfortable accommodation was all the more important. The facilities were excellent. The only little niggle were the sofas - they looked gorgeous, but were so low and soft. Perhaps one could be swapped for a couple of firm armchairs for us 'oldies'. Other than that verything was absolutely perfect. Thank you

The accommodation was a tastefully done barn conversion just as described.

We were met with the key as soon as we arrived and shown into the property. It was very comfortable, warm and welcoming despite the cold, snowy conditions. We had everything we needed, no issues. It is in a good location on the main road between Buxton and Ashbourne with lots to see and do on the doorstep. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone else. A very relaxing break.

We love visiting this lovely cottage its our 4th year we come to wind down and have some r and r we have busy lives and our 4 day stay gives us just that.

Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys peace and quiet the friendly peacock who comes visit. We enjoy a pint down at the Waterloo in Biggin and cheeses from Hartington. We look forward to next year's visit.

We booked both number 3 and number 4 for a family Christmas break.

The property is in excellent condition and was spotlessly clean. The walk in shower is fantastic. The weather was very cold but we had constant heating adjustable to any temperature and constant hot water. The beds are huge and extremely comfortable. Kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need. A thank you to Sue and Phil who were excellent hosts, there if needed but discreet allowing you to enjoy the break. Would highly recommend. NOTE do not follow Sykes directions, it will send you to an alternative property with the same name, use the postcode for the property and it will take you straight there.

peaceful and spotless clean had a great time 2nd time there will be going again

Clean,comfortable cottage.

New bathroom since our last visit ,with large shower cubicle Owners onsite for any problems Car necessary as no easy walk from cottage to village/amenities

Nice barn conversion, well equipped if you want to cook etc, beds comfy.

Well located for walking also plenty of places to eat nearby.

We had a very enjoyable week in this lovely cottage.

The cottage had everything we required for our holiday in the country and the owners were on hand for any advice and help if needed. Very good location for visiting Derbyshire towns and villages without having to travel far.

We had a lovely time at the property, and I was pleasantly surprised at the size and decor of the cottage.

It offered all the home comforts and essentials we needed for our stay. The kids especially enjoyed the luxury walk in shower lol and being greeted everyday by the friendly peacock they affectionately called "Perry" and the ducks and chickens. Nothing was a problem for the owners they very helpful. It was a great base for visiting lots of local well known villages, trails and attractions, where we made as a family lots of happy memories. Thank you

A lovely cottage in a great area.

We had everything we needed. It was very easy to get to lots of great locations nearby for walking, sightseeing and shopping. The resident peacock was a welcome visitor . A really good base to enjoy the beautiful Peak District .

When I arrived Sue let me in showed me where the thermostat was by the time I'd put my bag down she'd disappeared I saw Phil a few times but he never acknowledged me at all so much for the hospitality some reviews have mentioned, I was on my own as the person I was going with let me down at the last moment and I had no transport so I had to rely on taxis and as I'm in my seventies I would have appreciated it if they had checked in to see if I was okay.

Beautiful cottage, very clean, all necessary facilities, well equipped.

We would have preferred to have known before hand that it was located on a busy main road, as this made it a little precarious to cross and we would have preferred a quieter setting. However the actual property was fantastic

Lovely little cottage in a central rural location, great base for exploring.

Kitchen getting ready for a revamp in places but more than adequate. Thank you for a lovely peaceful break x

Once again thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had another wonderful stay it’s a pity the weather didn’t play ball but it was always good to return to the cottage as it was the perfect base to explore the Peak District can’t recommend the cottage enough 5 ⭐️ warm cleanliness facilities.

We’ll be back!!!

We have just returned from our 3rd visit and yet again we have enjoyed our mini break away.

Everything was once again to our liking and the complimentary milk and chocolate biscuits always a bonus.

A really lovely cottage.

Well equipped, warm and very comfortable. In a great position for walking the dales. The web site doesn’t do it justice, as there are no pictures of the beautiful up dated bathroom, or details of the excellent Wi-Fi. Could do with a new set of matching cutlery, and cooking knives need a good sharpen, minor issues really. Loved meeting the peacock who stood at our back door each morning and evening.

Very comfortable cottage, nice and warm to return to after a days walking.

Very comfortable bed. Thank you

Booked a two night weekend stay at No 3, we stayed as a party of four adults for weekend visit to Chatworth House Christmas.

No 3 didn’t disappoint from the moment we arrived the lovely lady greeted us gave us information what we needed and left us to it, the barn cottage conversion was very spacious with two large bedrooms, the beds was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with all your kitchen needs, the lounge had two settees and TV, the bathroom was very nice with a massive shower and very modern. All in all No 3 is a perfect base and will definitely be returning again when in Derbyshire again.

Beautiful cottage , very clean , heating was fantastic, WIFI was very good, lovely updated bathroom, we would go again, lovely holiday.

The accomodation was exceptionally spacious, well equipped and very comfortable.

Situated in the centre of Derbyshire and close to all amenities. Your website details for this property need updating to include the superb walk-in shower and wi-fi which makes it even more attractive.

Nice barn conversion in the courtyard of the owners farm.

Everything you need for a week away was provided in the property, really comfy beds and quiet due to the thick stone walls. There are chickens, donkeys, sheep and a pheasant on the farm and regular tractor movements too. Good road links to the main attractions and walking areas.

We have enjoyed a lovely week in Derbyshire and the cottage was very comfortable for a family of 4.

The animals kept the kids entertained, wifi and the upgraded bathroom was a welcome surprise! The location of the cottage is excellent for exploring Derbyshire and we made the most of the fantastic weather. Would definitely return!

Cottage had everything and more .

Little extras, that you dont normally get . Towels, tea coffee milk biscuits . Comfy big beds . Didnt worry us that there were no bedroom doors. Still had privacy when in bed . Loved the walk in shower . Wi. Fi was handy . Definitely recommend. Good position for trips out

The owner was really friendly, and the house very comfortable, with all the facilities you'd want.

Other reviews mention the peacock, but this was the only negative for us as it started screeching each morning at sunrise, so no relaxing long sleeps (and it doesn't even belong to this farm). Some of the photos of the house are out of date, the sofas are now nice black leather and the bath and shower cabinet have gone, replaced by a much nicer big walk-in shower.

no 3 was easy access to all areas of peak district just a short drive to some wonderful areas loved the peacock

Great place to stay, owner nice, helpful and friendly.

Lovely cosy clean cottage with visiting chickens and a peacock.

Great value for money would definitely recommend

Hosts Phil and Sue Bradbury were extremely helpful to us when we arrived quite late due to heavy traffic on the motorways(M5&M42).

Nothing was too much trouble!Would like to go back as soon as possible.

Such open bright holiday home with all facilities needed.

Local walk along disused railway and beautiful places to visit nearby. Welcoming hosts. Sorry we could not say bye as they were out when we left

Lovely part of barn conversion.

Well equipped, spacious and also cosy. Good location for walking, cycling and local pubs. Thank you for the milk and biscuits on arrival!

We had an absolutely fantastic 4 days ,host very welcoming some goodies to treat you as you arrive, the cottage itself is beautifully designed and set out we enjoyed our weekend of pj’s and box sets .

Highly recommend if you want to get away from technology and chill out . Pub up the road awesome food and ales we did have to sample the wares and loved the cheese shop in Hartington.

The Barn was wonderful, the owners were amazing and did absoulety everything they could do to help us both.

Our stay was that great we have booked again for this year.

Heerlijke vakantie gehad.

Gastvrij ontvangen met extra's en voorzien van alle comfort. En dat in een prachtige omgeving!

Lovely cosy cottage, lovely people definitely go again.

Ideal location.

A lovely cottage in a great location!

The accommodation was very comfortable, and if the kitchen lacked anything we needed it was immediately supplied.

Lovely location ideally situated for visiting many interesting places ,too many to list; but never the less there are many more places that we were unable to go to.So we diffenantly need to return sometime in the future.

We always recommend you to all our freinds

I found the whole process from booking, paying the balance, information regarding the property and location were excellent.

An excellent barn conversion giving very warm comfortable facilities.

The cottage was in a good location for exploring the Peak district especially Dovedale and the Tissington Trail . Thank you for a warm welcome and the pack consisting of tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits

Friendly owner who was welcoming.

The cottage was very lovely, very clean and comfortable. Will be booking again soon.

Excellent location.

Friendly welcome. Well equipped and comfortable property. Would benefit from WiFi for searching for information on places to visit etc. as mobile signal variable. Tea, coffee, milk, sugar and biscuits on arrival a welcome surprise. Would love to return sometime for another visit.

A lovely, comfortable and well equipped property.

On the main road from Buxton to Ashbourne but road noise not a problem. You can walk out from the property, ( a short distance on the road at first) onto the Tissington and High Peak Trails, but you really need a car to access the many interesting trails and places around as there is no public transport nearby.

What a lovely cottage.

It has everything you could want, including tea, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid, dish washer tabs, soap etc which some cottages dont supply. It was quiet and comfortable and a great location to explore the Peaks. The only slight issue was there's no doors to the bedrooms, so if you have a snorer in your party everyone can hear

We are 4 friends who get together when we can.

It was fantastic to find acomadation with single beds. We all enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to friends and family.

Perfect cottage in Derbyshire!

Great location, perfect for walking and cycling too.

A very well equipped, clean cottage, in a good location to explore the peak district.

Very friendly owners and we very much appreciated the milk/coffee/biscuits provided on arrival. We enjoyed the weekend there, in particular the walk/cycling along the Tissington/High peak trails. We will come back again for sure. Anything not so perfect? If I were really picky, I would say the toilet could be separated from the bath room/or having another toilet, and may be not on the main road.

Are weekend was realy nice the cottage was lovely people were great all in all a good little break

The cottage was really homey, warm and well laid out.

It fulfilled our needs perfectly and had everything that we wanted. The pictures online did not do it justice, it’s absolutely beautiful and very unique! The only thing I could fault was the water pressure in the shower. It was ok but not brilliant.

Such a beautiful little cottage in a picturesque location.

The owners were lovely, so helpful and had left basic essentials in the cottage which was helpful and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend or visit again.

The cottage was lovely and very well equipped.

Our only feedback is that the sofas are a little small for 4 people to relax comfortably - perhaps an arm chair in the lounge could be helpful.

The photos do not do the place justice, yes it is in the middle of no where, well it feels that way even though your off the main a road between Buxton and Ashbourne.

Once you close the curtains its soo cozy. We could have stayed for longer

Cosy, comfortable and well positioned cottage to explore all the delights of the Peak District.

Property is ideally located for many attractions which are within easy reach and despite being located close to the main road, traffic noise was minimal.

The property is well appointed and spacious and includes a garden area with a rotary drier to the rear. The lack of WiFi and/or phone signal, depending on your provider, might put some people off but we enjoyed being away from the phone.

The cottage was nice and spacious and the location good for us.

The whole house was beautiful, very clean and well kept.

In a lovely setting, and easy to find and access. Welcoming hosts and comfortable beds! What more can you ask for?!

Phoned to say we would be early very pleased that we could arrive early with milk and biscuits waiting for us on opening the door we noticed an awful smell which happened every time we left and returned it smelt like a drain the settees in the lounge could do with being changed felt like sitting on a board

Lovely place to stay with easy access to Derbyshire and Staffordshire.

Excellent accommodation Thankyou
