Cloudberry Cottage

We visited Cloudberry 17th april for a week.

The cottage is really lovely, exceptionally clean and comfortable. There's everything there you could wish for. It has lovely garden where you can find sun most of the day. The hosts are very helpful, even emailing you before you go, giving good tips. There is parking outside the house and we managed to use that every day, we were advised if it had been taken there is 3 parking spaces about 20 yards further on. The neighbours are lovely people on both sides.. Would happily recommend this.property. There's lots to do around Bakewell and Matlock.The guest book shows repeat visistors so i think that says a lot. 5 stars Thankyou

We very much enjoyed our stay at Cloudberry Cottage.

The hosts gave excellent information and were responsive and helpful. The house is well appointed and attractively furnished. The bedrooms are very comfortable, and it is cosy in the lounge with the woodburner. The smart TV worked well. The location was peaceful, and the dedicated parking space was helpful. We visited and enjoyed both pubs in the village, 5 or 10 minutes’ walk away, but do check opening times. The walks from the door were lovely. Birchover also proved a good base for accessing Peak District attractions and walks and is close to Bakewell for local services. A lovely break overall in a convenient location that felt pleasantly ‘off the beaten track’.

We had a lovely stay at Cloudberry Cottage.

Really comfortable, very high standards of cleanliness. Bed was really comfy too. There's lots to do in the area and fairly close to Bakewell which has a number of pubs and restaurants. Our local pub was lovely but on restricted opening for January. Would definitely recommend and hope to rebook in future.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Cloudberry Cottage over Christmas.

The cottage was decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations and the welcome gift of Chatsworth stollen and mince pies was thoughtful and very much enjoyed. Birchover is a beautiful village and the cottage itself is lovely. It is tastefully decorated and well equipped and the beds and sofas were so comfy, especially when relaxing infront of the cosy log burner. It was so nice to stay in a cottage where I didn’t feel like I needed to do my standard of clean on arrival and the owners sent an appreciative and welcome email to thank us for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy, which was very kind. We would definitely like to return in the future. Thank you so much.

Such a well thought out cottage so welcoming, comfortable and well equipped.

The cottage is well placed for lovely walks nearby and not too far to shops in Bakewell. The owners were very responsive when we had a query and gave us helpful instructions for our arrival. Lovely touch of milk, teas etc and cream tea for our arrival too. Only small variation on the description was our expectation of a DVD player but clearly a new replacement smart tv is in its place.

Property was presented very well with all you would need to have a comfortable stay.

Very peaceful location with friendly and helpful neighbours. Good literature about local attractions and manuals regarding appliances.

We didn’t have a great experience I a booking we made with a cottage in wales earlier in the year.

It makes such a difference having a nice email from the owners before we arrived , giving directions . Lovely to have a welcome pack and to see that lots of other things left as well. Lovely decorated and well furnished cottage and made a fabulous week for us . Highly recommend

Very quiet village location Extremely lucky with hot sunny weather Clean and tidy on arrival Lots of walks from the door 2 pubs within a short walk , The Red lion 5 minute walk and Druids Inn 10 minute walk We had a Sunday dinner in The Red Lion and it was lovely and very well presented Haddon Hall , about a 10 minute drive , is a lovely untouched historical property set in lovely grounds.

Chatsworth House is a 20 minute drive away although we only visited the gardens it's really is a fantastic place.

It was great, but.

.. There was a terrible smell coming out of the room where te refrigerator is situated. It was an animal-like smell (catpiss?). It was 't great, especially because you'll open the closet to get food. Upside is, you won't het dat, because you don't want to eat. But that's not the point. It was a pity, because the house is so lovely and comfortable. And the neighbours were very nice. Oh, now I'm typing. Maybe there is a better system to tell people about the waste bins. I did'nt get it. We're not from Britain, as far as I'm concerned there was only one waste bin. I wanted to put the bin at the road.. but it turned out they've collected a different color. Well, in the end, we still had a great stay :) would like to come back.

Perfect small cottage for a getaway.

Feels spacious inside and has everything you could want. Really nicely decorated and immaculately clean. Lovely courtyard patio at the back for eating out on summer evenings. A very short stroll to the Red Lion Pub which brews its own beer and has good gastro-pub style food, though a shame it's only open Thursday to Sunday. Great base for scenic walks from the doorstep and a good base for heading north to spectacular Dark Peak Walks. Dedicated parking outside and very nice resident neighbours. We visited in the high summer but would hope to revisit in the spring for the bluebells and in the autumn when the leaves have turned.

I have had an another lovely stay at Cloudberry Cottage.

It was just as I remembered it and I wish I could have stayed longer. The cottage is in a perfect location to explore the great walks all around and the ‘Open Gardens’ in the village were lovely to visit on the weekend. Thanks again ! Charlotte

All very good and enjoyed our stay.

Only small niggle was that it got cold at night, our stay was in December, and additional bedding in very short supply. We would recommend additional blankets. Be aware the owner can control central heating remotely.

We really enjoyed our week at Cloudberry Cottage.

It was very comfortable and cozy. The decor was very tasteful and the online pictures really don’t do it justice. Everything worked as it should and we had plenty of hot water for showers and baths. The heating was so easy to control and was very effective. The owners were very easy to communicate with and were helpful with suggestions of where to eat and the route required to get to the property. The best bit was that we had a choice of two pubs literally within 5 minutes walk of the cottage. The surrounding area is beautiful and easily accessible for walks.

Couldn't have picked a better place to stay.

Very cute cottage, clean and with everything provided. Would definitely stay here again.

Cloudberry cottage was clean comfortable cosy.

The log burner was a real bonus. When we arrived there was a cake and some milk left by the owner. Information on walks and places to go. Overall a lovely stay. Would stay at cloudberry cottage again.

A beautiful well equipped cottage.

Very clean with a high quality interior and nice garden. Owners are friendly and polite and communicate quickly if required. Birchover is a quiet village but has two good pubs. Not far from larger towns for amenities and there are many local attractions to visit.

The cottage was immaculate, very comfortable & we’ll equipped.

The pretty courtyard garden was a very pleasant bonus. Car parking immediately outside the cottage was easy. It’s one of the best holiday rentals we’ve ever stayed at.

We had a really enjoyable stay at cloudbury cottage Everything was perfect for our needs.

Beautiful cottage. We give the cottage 5 stars for comfort, interior and essentials, everything has been thought of in detail. We’d stay again.

Had a lovely week staying at Cloudberry Cottage.

The cottage was immaculate & the cake and milk was an added bonus. The information left by the owners about the village and local area was very helpful. The garden is a lovely sun trap and was visited by a friendly cat. The neighbours and locals were friendly & we ate at the Druid Inn on Pie night which was a delight. Highly recommended.

We booked Cloudberry cottage last minute, for our annual friends' reunion.

The cottage and its garden was simply delightful...a real home from home! We appreciated the welcome refreshments left for us, as well as the information forwarded to us by the owners, detailing events in the village as well as local walks. All in all, a wonderful weekend!

We had a very memorable stay .

The cottage was immaculate and extremely comfortable providing everything and more than we expected . The location was excellent and very peaceful . The village was very friendly and the local pub was very welcoming and served good home cooked food . We had a pie night and a ‘ date night ‘

Lovely property, very well equipped and very clean and tidy.

Thanks for having us.

Comfortable cottage, spotlessly clean and very well equipped

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 !

Beautiful cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break.

Cosy and inviting front room, country cottage kitchen with plenty of utensils. The most comfortable beds we have slept in at a holiday rental. Perfectly situated for so many Peak District sites.

Cloudberry cottage was awesome little cottage.

evrything you needed was there.it was spotless and very tidy.and the treats what the owners left us were especially nice.would live to stay there again and do more walking around the area.

My Husband & I have a wonderful time in and around the area including Bakewell & many little villages.

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.

My daughter and I have just returned from a lovely break at this charming cottage.

So peaceful but a good base also for visiting the surrounding area. The cottage was spotless and had everything you could need. We were very grateful for the milk and sweet treats provided by the owners. We were sad to leave and would definitely return!

Cloudberry Cottage is beautiful & provides everything needed for your stay.

It comfortably fits 4 adults. It looks exactly as listed & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great access to the different areas of the Peak District that we wanted to visit. Definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage.

Well equipped , nicely furnished and most comfortable bed. Great location exploring the area, we loved Haddon Hall, and cozy to return. Two pubs in the village, both welcoming and serving good food.

Good location, helpful owners, tasteful and immaculate cottage, well equipped, comfy beds.

We absolutely loved Cloudberry & look forward to visiting again soon.

For us it was the little touches that helped made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you!

An enjoyable stay at a well kept home.

Everything was just right

Just had a little issue with one of the keys.

Very comfortable holiday cottage

Absolutely wonderful cottage, spotless and very well maintained.

Beautiful furnishings and everything you could ever need in the kitchen. Birchover is a charming and quiet village and the local pubs are delightful. We will definitely be back!

Delightful cottage,warm and cosy ,everything we needed to hand.

Spotlessly clean and tidy, Christmas decorations a lovely touch as we were there for Christmas and had an enjoyable stay!

A lovely cottage in a peaceful location that has been decorated to a very high standard.

Lovely property.

Great value for money. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful cottage in a lovely location.

Everywhere was lovely and clean and very well appointed. Within easy reach of many of the local attractions. Would highly recommend to anyone and would definitely return.

TV controls were a bit of a faff in particular turning on and off and controlling the sound.

Apart from that first class.

This is our second stay at cloudberry cottage this year.

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.

Really lovely cottage!

Very clean and tastefully decorated to a high standard. Lovely location with some good walking options from the door. Would definitely recommend a stay in this cottage. Local pubs within a strolls distance serving scrumptious food also.

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

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.

Thankyou for a lovely, clean cottage,thought of everything, even milk and Bakewell tart.

Perfectly situated for getting out and about. It's such a quiet and laid back village. Thank-you for the wonderful experience.

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in - and we have been doing this for over 40 years.

Lovely cottage,in a beautiful village.

very clean & equipped with everything you needed.

A very clean, cosy & well equipped cottage set in a quiet village in the Peak District.

We would definitely recommend this property as it had all the comforts needed for an enjoyable holiday.

Perfect in every way.

Much bigger than it looks in the photos. Would of loved to have stayed longer. Will be back!

Great Little Cottage would come back again, had everything we needed for our little break

Lovely clean cottage situated in a friendly village.

I would highly recommend if looking for excellent views and walks.

Cloudberry cottage was a lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable and a great base to see the Peak District.

The owners were very helpful and allowed us to change our dates due to our cat being very poorly, which was really kind. Would definitely stay their again.

Absolutely lovely property.

As others have said pictures don't do it justice. Has everything you need. You can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into making Cloudberry Cottage a delightful place to stay. Made our Christmas extra special. Will be sure to book again and recommend it to friends and family.

A spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and very well equipped cottage.

There were a few goodies in the fridge for us when we arrived, which was a lovely touch. Birchover was a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside, with a number of local walks straight from the front door. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cloudberry Cottage to others.

Beautifully appointed, well looked after, cottage in a great location.

We used it for walking in the White Peak, popping into Bakewell and Buxton and driving over Snake Pass and Winnats pass and generally just enjoying the area. Blessed by glorious weather.Just to note that the bathroom is on the ground floor and parking is tight like everywhere in the Peak. Would stay here again.

Realy comfortable and well kitted out, with a number of nice extra touches by the owners.

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.

A very clean and well equipped cottage in a great location for peaceful country walks.

A beautifully presented cottage that felt like a home not just a standard rental property.

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. A great location with lots of stunning walks in the area - would certainly recommend exploring the rather interesting rock formations next to the Druid pub in the village.

The property was clean (properly hotel clean), well-presented and well located.

There were nice touches from the owners including some helpful communication before and during the stay, a pint of milk in the fridge and a lot of helpful guide books that we made use of - you can just tell they’ve just really thought it through and care about your experience. We’d love to stay there again.

You told us that all beds would be made up when I rang specifically to ask but then we got an email from the owner to ask how many beds we wanted made up so the information you gave us was incorrect.

Cloudberry cottage had everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage, it was more like home from home.

Everything was of a very high standard. Having milk, tea, coffee and biscuits readily available when you walk in was very much appreciated. As was the email received from the owner a couple of days before travelling informing us of a road closure and some local information. I would highly recommend Cloudberry cottage and look forward to returning again.

The cottage is situated in a quiet road with very considerate and polite neighbours.

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.

Cloudberry cottage in Birchover is a lovey cosy property.

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.

The cottage was exactly as described, it had all the facilities and very much felt like a home from home.

We were left with tea, biscuits and milk which was absolutely lovely and welcoming. I will definitely be looking to book the cottage again, and will be recommending it to friends and family.

Fantastic cottage set in a beautiful, quiet village .

Very modern and clean. Has everything you could possibly need including iron and board, even a hairdryer. Great park just down the road, set back in a huge playing field. Only downside is poor phone reception but wifi is good.

Lovely cottage, very well presented and comfortable.

We loved the time there.

The cottage is very lovely and clean, thank you. Only one thing is the bees outside the front. My kids were worried but it went ok.

We had a lovely time away.

The cottage is in a great location and was presented in a lovely state. The finishing touches of shortbread etc were really nice.

Beautiful cottage , perfect location lots of lovely walks and pubs all around.

Will definitely book this cottage again.

Super long weekend spent at Cloudberry Cottage.

The cottage was very cosy and warm, and spotlessly clean. The location is very quiet and peaceful, but not too far away from amenities. The double bed is so comfortable, and the kitchen very well equipped. I wouldn't hesitate to come back again some time - I highly recommend staying here!

Cloudberry Cottage was an enjoyable stay for us, located in a lovely village with two pubs (watch out for early kitchen closing in off season!

) and within easy reach of Bakewell, Haddon Hall & Chatsworth. The cottage was clean & tidy with nice decor and everything you might need during your stay. Passed on feedback to the owner that the radiator thermostats in bedrooms were broken, which he plans to fix.

This is perhaps the best cottage I've ever stayed in.

I don't know why Sykes has only given it a 4 tick rating, as to my mind it's definitely a 5. Very tastefully and elegantly decorated, uncluttered, good quality furnishings and bed linen, really comfortable bed, great shower, fab kitchen, the whole house was immaculately clean. Actually more spacious than the photos here show. Had a really lovely time staying here. Very nice owner who's not intrusive.

Cloudberry Cottage.

What a beautiful find. So cosy. We appreciated that the owner paid attention to detail. Good quality kitchen appliances, utensils etc. Decent TV, good Dab radio in bedroom and Bluetooth speaker provider. Washing machine was useful too after some muddy walks. If you want cosy cottage, good walks, log burner and near good pubs...look no further. Delightful.

Lovely, cosy cottage with fully equipped kitchen.

Beautiful walks straight out of the door. Plan to return. Looks even better than photos.

Cloudberry is a lovely cottage, exceptionally clean with a great log burner that needs no fussing to produce a lovely fire.

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

Cloudberry Cottage was the best rented holiday accommodation my wife and I have ever had.

It was fully and efficiently supplied with everything anyone could need. It was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Everything worked. Information provided at the cottage was clear and extensive. Although we never met or communicated with the owner, we felt welcomed at this lovely place.

Lovely comfortable house.

We really enjoyed our stay. Ideally there would be a bathroom upstairs but other than that it was perfect....very homely. Thanks

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.

I’d recommend this cottage, it’s really lovely.

Fresh, Clean and nicely kit out. really great location for visiting lots of local attractions. Great walks from the doorstep (recommend the 9 ladies walk over Stanton Moor) lovely local pubs and our daughter liked the playpark just over the road. Bakewell and Matlock are really close by and well worth a visit, great selection of independent stores and both have great parks.

The cottage was very well equipped, very comfortable and with great decor.

I would highly recommend family and friends stay here. Perfect location too.

What a lovely cottage did not want to leave.

I was visiting from Australia and my sister (who lives in the UK) and I decided to stay somewhere we had never been.

We settled on the Peak District and I found Cloudberry Cottage for us to stay in. It exceeded all expectations. It was so lovely to stay in a peaceful village in a gorgeous cottage. It was easy to get to Bakewell to buy supplies, and we found the courtyard was the perfect place for setting up our cheese platter and g&ts. I also went on anearly morning walk and it was easy to find the public footpaths to the nearby Moor. All instructions supplied in the cottage were easy to follow. Overall, I would highly recommended this cottage - our stay there was one of the highlights of my trip.

A fantastic cottage.

One of the best I’ve stayed in. Would definitely go back. Great location to explore the Peaks.

Fantastic little find.

Lovely décor and all to a high standard. Comfy beds and excellent shower. Loved having a woodburner fire and lovely touches like milk and biscuits placed for our arrival.

I said met expectations and not exceeded only because, as usual, everything was perfect.

I couldn't have expected any better. There was some milk, tea, coffee and biscuits which were all most welcome after a long drive. The cottage was warm, spotlessly clean and comfortable.

This was a last minute booking and we kne very little about the area.

The cottage was stunning and very well equipped. It has been modernised and the owners put a lot of little extra touches throughout to make our stay comfortable. We loved Birchover and the location so near Chatsworth and the mountains.

Cottage was well equipped and very nicely decorated.

All the kitchenware was to a really high standard. We found the booklet of information provided really helpful and clear and used the maps for some great walks. The location is great for a walking holiday and the village pubs were welcoming with great beer. The addition of free WiFi makes the lack of phone reception far easier. Great little place.
