• "We felt at home , cottage had a nice welcoming feel."

  The owners have been very thoughtful about what they have provided and what is there is of good quality. They have ensured there is everything that you might want or need during your stay. Good location to stride out onto footpaths, or travel nearby to towns and tourist sites. We would certainly like to stay here again !

  We love the Peak District and will definitely be back. We enjoyed the local pub food and staff were so friendly. (Couldn’t really work out the TV or get any programmes, as it wasn’t easy to follow). Loved the scones & milk left for us. It was a lovely surprise. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your beautiful cottage & village.

  We loved it so much the first time we came back for my mum's birthday. It has everything you need, quite location, the neighbours are really friendly, pub up the road. Not far from main attractions. David and Elaine you have a little gem of a cottage. Thank you for letting us stay there, we will be back.

• "Wow what a wonderful week!"

  We were so lucky with the weather, it was glorious! The cottage is a real gem. It was immaculate and beautifully furnished. Comfy beds, lots of storage and a fab oven! All the neighbours were very friendly and chatty. No parking issues, we managed to park in the allocated space with our estate car. Lovely rear garden with colourful blooms. The front garden is a butterflies dream! Play park and field opposite which delighted the children. One thing that made me super happy which was kindly informed about by the lovely lady next door is the washing line! It’s very discreet but a minky extendable fixed to the wall the the bottom of the garden. Perfect after an accidental fully clothed swim at Longshaw!!! Everything really has been thought about! The location was perfect, we visited Chatsworth, Gullivers Kingdom and had a lovely walk at longshaw. Ashbourne, Tissington and Youlgrave worth a visit. Highly recommend The Druid pub in the village, friendly service and tasty food. Great communication prior, throughout and after from the owners and a delightful treat on arrival. Thank you so much! We can’t wait to visit again x

  Thanks for your very generous feedback and for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. Lovely to know you had such an enjoyable stay. Property Owner

• "The cottage was brilliant, unfortunately it was let down by issues with the parking, in that we felt intimidated by one set of neighbours, who parked so close to my vehicle that I couldn't open the boot, yet there was nothing behind them, parked so the gap was too small to fit in again with nothing behind them, and also placed a traffic cone on the road to ensure we parked in a certain spot, hence the low recommend score, this isssue was a constant worry during our stay, but come departure day the gap between vehicles was what could only be said to be excessive, considering the previous night it was so close I couldn't open the boot."

  I’m sorry the parking caused you some difficulty, it can be tight at times. Our neighbours would not be intentionally intimidating, indeed many guests have testified to how friendly and helpful they are. There are always alternative spaces available nearby either a little further down the road by the village field, or at the top of the road on Main Street. Property Owner

• "The photos on the website don't do this gorgeous cottage justice."

  It is immaculate inside and out (and bigger than we expected) with a brilliantly stocked kitchen with everything you could need, (other than a dishwasher but hey, my husband is my dishwasher so not an issue for me!). The thing I was really happy with was the amount of cupboard space, as often in self catered cottages there is nowhere to put your food as the cupboards are full of cockery! The host was very welcoming and left a gorgeous welcome pack of a Chatsworth Cream tea in a box, chocolate muffins and pikelets from Chatsworth. He sent a lovely email before we arrived to check if we had any questions, to let us know about the opening situation of the local pubs and the closure of one of the village roads. Just lovely! The sofa and lounge furniture was comfortable, as were the beds. There were plenty of extra blankets (not that we needed them). The location is lovely and quiet and the neighbours were really friendly and went out of their way to have a chat and offer recommendations of things to do. The village was brilliantly located for visiting a range of different attractions but also the walks from the door were spectacular. One of the very best Sykes properties we've stayed in. If I had to be picky the only thing I'd change would be the addition of thicker curtains or a blackout blind in the back bedroom. We had to improvise by hanging a blanket over the curtain rail.

  Very comfortable and well equipped and more importantly in current times, extremely clean. The owner had provided a varied selection of books and DVDs to enjoy in the darker autumn evenings.

  The only downside was that the bathroom was downstairs and is cold despite the radiator. the cottage was kitted out for all basic cooking and very well presented. Unfortunately we were there as the COVID 19 Virus took hold of the country. we chose this cottage for its location and proximity to many different places of interest, we were unable to visit the National Trust and English Heritage places, however we enjoyed visiting the local villages and areas of natural beauty nearby.

  My daughter and I had a super week in this well appointed and well equipped cottage. There was lots of extras left for us which made our holiday even more enjoyable. The village of Birchover is extremely quiet and there are plenty of pleasant walks which can be enjoyed in the locality. Matlock and Bakewell are very close by, the Monday market at Bakewell is well worth a visit. Lots of places great places to eat not far away, a good Sainsburys and Marks and Spencers food hall in Matlock for those wishing to self cater. My daughter and I would not hesitate to return again in the future or recommend it to others.

  What we really lacked was a dishwasher, who needs a washing machine in a rental cottage? Take it out & replace it with a much needed appliance! Also the fridge has no freezer compartment so cannot make ice cubes for drinks, small thing but important to us. Other than that it was very good. Val Bestwick

• "This was the first time we'd rented a cottage for our holiday - we usually stay in B&B accommodation, so we didn't know quite what to expect."

  But there was no need for concern. Upon arrival, we found the cottage to be very clean and more than adequately furnished - a real home-from-home, in fact. The owners had kindly left us a "welcome pack" of basic essentials which was appreciated, also logs and fire-lighters in case we needed to use the log burner - we didn't, as the weather was lovely and warm during our stay. Bathroom toiletries had also been left for our use, again a nice touch, we thought. The cottage is located only a few miles from Bakewell and Matlock with Buxton also within easy reach and is ideally placed for the various activities and attractions on offer within the locality. We would heartily recommend Cloudberry Cottage to anyone looking to holiday in the Peak District and Derbyshire Dales.
