"Lovely clean cottage with great character features."
The kitchen is a little compact but fully equipped.Whilst the bathroom was perfectly adequate it would benefit from an updated shower as we both struggled to wash our long hair.I hadn’t realised the proximity of the property to the A515 (which is great for accessing the rest of the Peak District ) but there is some road noise at night.Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

"Lovely sized cottage in a great location for exploring the local area."
Plenty of trail walks and nature walks right off the door step. A short drive to many beautiful market towns nearby, which all have some great history.
The cottage was clean and well maintained throughout, the owner was there to welcome us in, with milk in the fridge and biscuits on the side. A welcomed bonus.
They was about if you needed anything, but left you alone to enjoy your holiday. Unlike some on site owners we have experienced in the past.
Our kids loved being greeted by the free range livestock. Especially the beautiful peacock.
Cottage is in a great location, we will be returning again in the future, as there is so much to do, which we couldn't fit into our week.

"Fantastic cottage."
Exceptionally well equipped. It could only be improved by glazing the bathroom window as this looked straight into farmyard and we had to have blind down all the time. Also king size pillows on the lovely king size beds would be good

"We knew what to expect, because we've stayed in Sykes' cottages before, both on our own and with friends."
This cottage is well up to your usual standards, and the location is wonderful.
This is not a complaint: we suggest that, in the listing, you remind guests to bring a torch. If you need to get up in the night the stairs are dark and steep and, without a torch, you'll have to turn the lights on and wake everybody up!
The kitchen is small, but very good: better than many self-catering cottages.

"Hello, it was a nice comfortable stay."
The cottage’s location is amazing, close to most landmarks. It was very clean and comfortable, equipped with all necessary equipments.
Few points for future improvements: TV was not working, we tried our best. There are no doors between bedrooms- atleast a curtain would be better to give some privacy. There is also no lock in the toilet, which is very important for privacy. Finally, the most important is checkout time is 9am which is too early for a holiday and makes you rushed and also checkin at 4pm is too late. Checkout time of 10:30 and checkin of 2-3pm would be ideal. Hope this is taken in consideration. Thanks

"We had a great week, lovely spacious property in a really good location for the places we wanted to visit - hiking and cycling trails."
Lovely large window facing West so we sat there in the evening watching the sun go down.
Chickens and the peacock were fun and quiet. Loads of parking.
Beds were very comfortable, but the lack of doors on the bedroom would have been a problem if another couple had come with us, didn't realise that you can see straight from one bedroom into the other as they are directly opposite. Maybe a curtain would an idea?
Loved the mezzanine between the bedrooms looking down over the dining area.
Kitchen was very small, but well equipped.

"What a fantastic cottage and location."
The beds were super comfy, the house had everything we needed and had little extras that we weren’t expecting. The location was perfect, we were able to easily access so much of what the peaks have to offer. It was a perfect holiday for our family of four.

Great accommodation
Tucked away in the countryside
Great facilities
Just wish they had doors ( though we knew there weren’t any as stated) and black out blinds
Everything is relatively close 15-20 mins away from attractions
(Visited Bakewell bakery/ railways and Matlock Aquarium
Will visit heights of Abraham next)

"Lovely people who are very helpful, cottage is very warm, cosy and comfy so been ideal for good sleep around our visits to alton towers."
Only thing I would ask is if theres a possibility of having copies of menus from local pubs as the people I travel with are fussy eaters and it would have helped us make a decision where to eat!

"We were warmly welcomed by Sue to a lovely warm cottage."
It was beautifully presented and had everything you could possibly want. The only negatives were the lack of broadband and phone signal - but we were aware of that before we booked - also the television some times pixellated or lost signal. Perhaps a satellite provider would cure that. All in all a lovely experience staying in a centrally located area for the site seeing we wanted to do.

It was well equipped and very clean and comfortable. Great place to stop and explore the local area. Only thing missing was WIFI, but this was a really small thing as it was actually lovely to be able to switch off from everything for a few days (would have just been handy to help plan days out). Many thanks for your hospitality.

It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved seeing (and hearing!) the donkeys each day and the location was perfect for our visits to Crich Tramway Village, Bakewell and Chatsworth House. The very lovely lady (unfortunately we didn't get her name) who welcomed us was extremely helpful and pleasant. We'd be back in a heartbeat! :-)

Cottage spacious, comfortable and warm. Plenty of hot water! There was a very cold wind blowing most of our week and it was lovely to come back to a warm cottage. Parking the easiest I've ever known and the beds exceptionally comfortable. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby and the changing colours of the trees and the scenic views as we explored were amazing.
