"This was a great cottage in a very useful location - just what we needed for 2 couples having a week away."
Hot tub was great - just what we needed. Couple of minor niggles stopped it getting a 5 - one was the noisy neighbours - up at 6 and banging around - and with paper thin walls, there was no escaping it. The other was the temp control in the cottage. Visitors were from Australia so they were feeling chilly - even in June - but having to text the owner every time we wanted temp up or down was a level of faff which seemed unecessary. If we are paying decent money for a place, would be nice to be trusted not to abuse the heating options. That aside, great place abd a grand week was enjoyed. Thank you

"Very well appointed property in good clean condition."
Appreciated the welcome arrangements Very accessible for wheelchairs. Quite and peaceful location. Hot tub lid needed repairing but this was explained.
Thanks for taking the time to review, Martin. The new hot tub lid should be with us in the next couple of days. You can be assured that we will continue to renew and improve each of our three Cottages. Property Owner

"This cottage really lived up to and went beyond the description on the web-site."
The facilities were superb in all areas and the on-site hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for visiting the Peak District. We had glorious weather which facilitated the use of the hot tub and sun loungers and the bottle of prosecco was a lovely treat. Thanks for a lovely break Mike and Shirley
Thanks for the review, Mike and Shirley. Lovely to meet you both and I’m so pleased you’ve enjoyed your time with us! Property Owner

"The property was in a lovely part of Derbyshire."
It was within 40 minutes of 3 beautiful National Trust properties that we visited; Calke Abbey, Shugbrough Hall, and Kedleston Hall. The property was also very quiet and we had a beautiful view of the countryside from our decking area, We did feel that the kitchen was smaller than it appears in the photographs. There wasn't much worktop space. However, we were very fortunate to have a lovely sunny week, so we got around this by using the table as we were able to eat outside. The decking area and view was our favourite space to spend time at the lodge. While there the three of us in our party decided to share the en-suite for showering. My husband and I had never used a wet room before and found it wasn't really for us. Due to my poor eyesight and high sensitivity to LED lights I also struggled with the wet room as natural light was very limited due to the small window and dark walls. Unfortunately the LED lights in there were too powerful for me to tolerate. I only mention this for others like me who also struggle with bright lights. I'm sure others would not find this a problem. Unfortunately I only got a couple of hours sleep on the final night because of my intolerance to the previously mentioned LED lights. This is because the property behind us had its bright porch light on all night long shining through our bedroom window. I'm sure this was an oversight because the owner recommended the second bedroom due to my intolerance to LEDs saying no lights would be on outside. Unfortunately it was too late for me to message and ask that they be switched off. Overall we had a very enjoyable break.
Avril, thanks so much for taking time to provide a detailed review which is very helpful. I’m glad that overall you had a very enjoyable break, especially the deck and views. So sorry we couldn’t get the lighting quite right as I know this is essential for you. I’m a little confused with regards to the darkness in the bedrooms however, as both have Venetian blinds and close fitting Roman blinds. Once again thanks again for the feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed the deck, quietness and amazing views! Regards, Karl Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay at the Coach House, hope to return one day and would recommend it to anyone."
Karl was extremely helpful and expanded everything in detail about the place including the hot tub which was so clean. The bed was very comfortable and both the en-suite and shower room were easy to use and as good as advertised. The only thing being picky was we found the settees a little uncomfortable after sitting on them for a while.
Thanks so much for the review, Kevin and the great score which really is appreciated. Not had comments about the sofa’s before, especially this additional cushions and a separate wing back armchair and footstool. I will of course keep an eye on this and review regularly. Please do stay in touch and thank you once again. Regards, Karl Property Owner

"Myself and my husband and my sister and her husband spent 5 brilliant days at bank top farm."
Absolutely couldn't fault it everything was lovely from the lovely comfy beds to the hot tub which was an added bonus. Karl was very friendly and helpful and met us on arrival. Evey where was perfectly clean just like a home from home. Also lovely and peaceful for a well needed rest. The prosecution was a nice touch too. I would definitely recommend bank top farm.
Thanks for the lovely feedback, Sally. We enjoyed hosting you! For clarity we didn’t prosecute Sally, we gifted in a bottle of Prosecco! #VoiceText Property Owner

"Cannot rate this stay highly enough."
From the moment we arrived, Karl did his utmost to make us feel at ease, at home and ensure we enjoyed our holiday to the fullest. The home has everything we could possibly need*. The two bedrooms are of great size and very ideal to have two separate bathrooms. The lounge was of great size. Perfect lighting , heating and the tv and sound bar were great. The hot tub was great, impeccably maintained and had views to die for. A bonus that the hot tub was covered. The views and this feature were something that made the property standout. Kitchen was spot on and we cooked each night and morning we were there. The info book provided and pictures on the kitchen wall were all extremely helpful. We went for walks and explored the local area but primarily made use of the perfect accommodation. Our stay was over new year and Karl made clear from the start that his priority was for us to enjoy ourselves. Would return without hesitation and feel the property is probably underpriced! Thanks so much for a perfect experience - couldn’t have wished for more! *the only thing we couldn’t find were table mats to eat at the dinner table. Obviously, did not spoil our stay one joy and it’s more likely that my poor observation skills couldn’t find them.
Hi Daniel, Lovely to host you both over the New Year and I’m glad you enjoyed The Coach House so much. The views from the deck are amazing aren’t they! We look forward to hosting you again! Regards, Karl Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at the Coach House and would definitely recommend to others."
Very thoughtful hosts - everything we needed was there to hand. Gorgeous view of the countryside. The beds were super comfy and the cottage has plenty of room for four adults. The hot tub was fab. Thanks Karl, Helen and Pip.
It was a joy hosting you over the festive period and thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! Regards Karl, Helen and Philippa Property Owner

"A lovely cottage in an excellent location for access to the Peak District."
Warm and comfortable and very well equipped. The owner Karl was exceptionally helpful and friendly, even providing a complementary Sunday paper! nothing was too much trouble. Thanks to him for a wonderful stay. Colin & Maggie
Lovely hosting you both and so pleased you liked the cottage! Property Owner

"What a beautiful place to stay."
The owners had thought of everything, it was cosy, comfy and had everything we needed for a girls weekend away. Karl couldn't have been more helpful. Perfectly placed to be calm, peaceful and away from the hustle and hustle but connected enough to find plenty to do.
Alison, So chuffed to receive your feedback, thank you! Regards, Karl Property Owner

"Best place I have been to so far."
Everything is thought about and the owners take great care of the property. It has everything you could ever need... Air fryer, coffee machine, microwave, gas bbq outside, hot tub (not very big, but nice anyway), all the necessities like aluminium foil, bin bags, TVs in every bedroom and also massive TV in the living room (not like other places), the only thing if you are thinking of cooking food take some salt & pepper, spices from home. We even found some cooking oil which was great. A bottle of prosecco to welcome guests, some playing cards and dominos available to play, netflix.... I could go on and on.. highly recommend
Zaneta, your review is so kind. Thank you! We love hosting guests, and remain fully committed to delivering at five star experience. Property Owner

"We had a fab stay at the coach house, it has everything you need and lots of little thoughtful touches from the owners, who are lovely too and really make you feel welcome and looked after."
We will definitely be going back - it’s relaxing, peaceful and the beds were so comfy - we stayed during a heatwave and with no fans we were worried but we slept like babies! Great base for lots of fun stuff in the area! Highly recommend! Family of 4 with 12 and 9 year old - perfect place for a few days get away! Thank you Karl and family for having us.
It was an absolute pleasure hosting you guys and thank you so much for the lovely review! Property Owner

"We had a fabulous week away staying in the Coach House."
The views from the deck and hot tub were lovely. A great location to stay, we visited Alton Towers, Chatsworth House and the National Space Centre and had a great lunch at the Denstone Farm Cafe, recommended by Karl.
Thanks for the fabulous review Fiona. It was lovely to host you all and I’m so pleased you enjoyed The Coach House. Property Owner

"A lovely cottage which ideal for 3/4 people."
The decking out the back of the cottage has a superb view which was appreciated by all when having meals out on the table. The cottage is spotlessly clean and the welcome gifts were much appreciated. There was plenty of correspondence from the owners before we arrived which was very helpful. We enjoyed a very peaceful week - Thank you
Thank you for the very generous comments, Clare; we loved hosting you! Please do stay in touch. Property Owner

"Everything about this property was perfect!"
We just had the best time! Everything had been thought of and catered for and the owners were just super, nothing was too much trouble. The property was beautiful, we were really sad to leave at the end of the holiday.
Your review has melted our hearts. we love doing what we do, it’s a privilege to host guests at Bank Top Farm and wonderful to meet super people like you guys. Thank you to Sykes cottages for introducing us to such lovely folk! Regards, Karl, Helen and Philippa (normally known as Pip, but now totally grown up!) Xxx Property Owner

"Absolutely great place to stay."
Owner extremely helpful & friendly. Would highly recommended staying at this cottage. Close to lots of local attractions and if you’re lucky with the weather the outside space is a great place to relax.
Christy, It was lovely to meet you and the family and our absolute pleasure to host you here at Bank Top Farm! Do stay in touch. Regards, Karl, Helen & Pip Property Owner

"Karl was willing to help with our stay hot tube was very good with roof cover"
Nice to meet you both Charlie, and I’m only sorry that you couldn’t give perfect scores on this occasion. The cleaning and laundry is subcontracted to the same brilliantly run, private company that’s looked after us for 3 1/2 years and I walk the cottage personally before guests arrive, so know every inch is spotless. I guess you guys just don’t give top marks for anything. Take care. Property Owner

"A great stay at the Coach House."
Had a very relaxing week. The Coach House had everything we needed to chill out and cook meals in the evening. The only things I would add to the kitchen is maybe a roasting try /casserole dish. Managed with what was there and there was plenty of crockery and pans but a dish to cook a chicken in may have helped a little! Karl was very welcoming, gave us a tour of the property on arrival and fixed an issue with the boiler promptly. The beds were huge and very comfortable and the hot tub a great place to relax in each evening. All in all a great week!
Hi Emma, Thanks for your kind feedback and advice on the roasting tray. One has now been purchased. Disappointed comfort didn’t meet your expectations, and especially cleanliness, as I walked the cottage before your arrival, and I considered it tip top! You’ve mentioned you thought the beds were very comfortable, so what else could we do to improve comfort in the cottage for next time? Regards, Karl Property Owner

"Beautiful property in a lovely area."
Very well equipped with some lovely touches like fresh flowers and prosecco. Great base for Alton Towers but there's also a wealth of other activities in the area.
Thanks for a very kind review Erika. We love hosting guests, and feedback like this, makes it all worthwhile! Property Owner

"Outstanding cottage, first rate facilities and furnishings."
Beautiful location, south facing patio which we really enjoyed using to watch the birds and hares in the fields .amazing views, what more could ask for . We had a lovely week , and I’ve are sure it won’t be the last we spend there . Thank you to Karl for his attention to detail and ensuring we had the best week.
Thanks Roy. It was our absolute pleasure to host you all. Do stay in touch! Property Owner

"The property is well situated with easy access to local attractions and facilities."
There are great views from the outside seating area. The kitchen diner would be a bit small for 4 people and it’s a shame there is only an “ice box freezer” however in the summer the outside space would be lovely and the hot tub and bbq are excellent.
Thanks for the tremendous score and kind feedback Lesley. With regards to the kitchen, in January, we are creating more food prep space, and installing a cabinet freezer, and a larder fridge. I’ll post pictures on our Facebook account as soon as the work is done! Do stay in touch, regards, Karl Property Owner

"A great holiday cottage in a great location."
The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. The property was very clean and everything we could have possibly needed was provided. Safe location for our children allowing them to play outside when they wanted to. We had a great week away exploring the peak district.
Thanks for the review Gary, We loved hosting you and it was great to hear the children laughing as they played. Do stay in touch! Regards, Karl Property Owner

"From the warm welcome on arrival to our unrushed departure, the hospitality and excellent facilities made for a perfect week, the covered hot tub being an added bonus which was a lot of fun especially when the weather was being unkind."
The area is stunning and the perfect place to explore or just chill out as we did most of the time. Karl and the family have evidently put a lot of thought into providing for their guest’s creature comforts, and the attention to detail is greatly appreciated, we lacked for nothing. Heartily recommend this property.
Thanks for the great score and kind words Laura! We LOVE hosting guests at Bank Top Farm and aim to not only maintain, but also improve our properties at every opportunity. Please stay in touch. Karl Property Owner

"The Coach House proved the perfect base for a relaxing week."
The facilities provided were excellent and all aspects were covered from strong wi-fi to a full wet room with disabled facilities and of course the hot tub to relax in. What was unexpected were many extras from the hosts, such as Prosecco, Flowers, Tea, Coffee and Milk. Our host met us on arrival and could not have been more attentive to any of our needs during our stay. The countryside views from our decking area and pure peacefulness of the location made it a great place to unwind at the end of the day. Not much more you could ask for and no parking issues.
Hi Heather, Thanks for such kind words about your stay, which mean so much. We love hosting guests at Bank Top Farm, and I'm passionate about not only maintaining our cottages, but also improving them, so watch this space! Please stay in touch, Karl Property Owner

"The Coach House was lovely, clean and peaceful."
The hot tub at the end of a day's walking was relaxing with good views across the field and for watching the rabbits. Karl was on hand if you needed anything and nothing seemed too much trouble. I look forward to returning.

"Lovely quiet rural location but in easy reach of Ashbourne."
Spacious enough for the 2 of us although kitchen/ dining area was cramped with little worktop space. Well equipped, modern in design and clean. Bed was very comfortable and outside space a plus.
Thanks for staying with us Peter and the amazing score. I'm going to try and refigure the work tops to make a bit more room. Thanks for the feedback. Property Owner

"Such a lovely place."

"The Coach House is a lovely, modern and clean property with great facilities."
We spent a relaxing and enjoyable weekend there for my birthday and had everything we needed for a great stay - including a hot tub with view - amazing! Karl, the property owner was lovely and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. He went out of his way to make my birthday weekend special. We would happily stay again and highly recommend the property to others.

"We had a lovely relaxing stay at The Coach House with my elderly parents."
It's in a beautiful location and very quiet. The owner Karl is really helpful without being intrusive. The beds are amazingly comfortable. The hot tub is a bonus although, beware: I hurt my back lifting the lid on and off on the first use - It's definitely a two person job and even then it's tricky due to the siting of the hot tub. The kitchen/dining room is very small but functional, with very little worktop space or user friendly cupboard space to store your groceries etc. Also, there is only a small fridge with a mini freezer compartment. but with several supermarkets 5 miles away we didn't need to buy too much in one go so we managed. Overall, we had such a nice relaxing time - just what we needed.
Thanks for the feedback, Susan. Sorry to hear about you straining your back; it is a heavy lid so definitely a two-person job. I'm going to look into whether a bespoke lid-lifter can be made for the space available. Glad you had a nice relaxing time overall! Property Owner

"Stayed in The Coach house (one of 3 properties at Bank Top Farm) for a week."
The owner, Karl met us on arrival and did a tour of each room plus the hot tub, making sure we were happy with them. A bottle of bubbly along with some other things were a welcome surprise. The house itself is fitted out to a high standard and the garden enjoys some wonderful views even from the hot tub. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing holiday or for a base to explore the surrounding areas. Thank you Karl. It was just what we needed
Thanks so much for the kind words, Janet. We're blessed with great views and spectacular night skies too! Property Owner

"We had a really great stay at Bank Top Farm Cottages which began with a warm and friendly welcome from the owner."
The complimentary bottle of chilled prosecco was a very nice touch. The house has everything you could need and felt luxurious with comfy beds, lovely terrace, a huge TV and not to mention the hot tub which was a highlight! Would not hesitate to recommend and we will be back.
Laurence, Thanks so much for the lovely review. It really was a pleasure hosting you guys at Bank Top Farm! Regards, Karl (Helen & Pip) Property Owner

"We booked this cottage after looking at the reviews and they were not wrong."
This is an exemplary cottage with attention to detail and comfort. Our week started as soon as we arrived with Karl (owner) giving us the introduction, nice bottle of Prosecco on ice and flowers - one happy wife! Cleanliness is second to none, beds extremely comfortable also. Beautiful quiet location, with amazing views. We came up to Derbyshire to see family and it was never a problem to have them over at any time. Our (9yr old) daughter made full use of the hot tub, as did we when we could. BBQ was excellent addition and with beer in hand, looking out over the views, there was nothing like it. 2 other properties adjacent but never intrusive, and if we needed anything at all - Karl (and his wife) were attendant immediately. Even daughter Pip brought over the new welcome back. We have stayed in several holiday lets in the UK with other companies, but this stands out for all the right reasons. Thoroughly recommend at any time of year and we will back - thankyou Karl and family.

"Our holiday at The Coach House was wonderful."
The owner Karl and his family did everything to ensure our stay was perfect in every way. The welcoming touches like the prosecco on ice waiting for us on arrival, milk in the fridge and fresh flowers were so thoughtful. The cottage is very well equipped and extremely clean with quality furnishings. Huge comfy beds ensured that we all had a very restful stay. The surrounding countryside and views from the outside decking are beautiful yet it's only a short drive away from a range of supermarkets, good pubs and restaurants. We'd all love to come back.
It was really lovely to meet you guys and host you a Bank Top farm. Please stay in touch and you’re welcome back any time! Why not try a winter break next time? Property Owner

"We had a wonderful holiday in The Coach House."
We were looking for a comfortable luxurious holiday with plenty of space for a family of 4 with two tall teenage boys. This property fit the bill perfectly. Karl could not do enough to help us (but not over bearing in any way), just right. The perfect host. We had everything we needed and more! The teens enjoyed Alton Towers and we enjoyed the beauty of the surrounding area and soaking in the tub in the evening and watching the sunset. We will be back! It was simply perfect!
Thank you so much Catherine for the kind words. It was great to have you with us and especially given that you’ve travelled down from Scotland. Please stay in touch and do come again. Property Owner

"Owner Karl was very welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble."
Accommodation itself was first class, had everything you need for a relaxing holiday. View from hot tub was amazing. Beds & pillows super comfy - best we have had. Biggest TV ever, like being in the cinema. Plenty of parking. Everything was spotlessly clean, including the barbecue. Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone. Thouroughly enjoyed our stay and meeting Karl.
Hi Mairi, Thanks for the very kind feedback. We loved hosting you! Regards, Karl Property Owner

"5***** A real home from home, the extra mile Karl,Helen and Pip went to make our well needed break much appreciated, they’re always on hand but not intrusive."
The Coach House was perfect for us 4 adults but similarly would suit a family. The beds are 5* hotel quality, and the kitchen is well sized with everything required for cooking a large roast, fry up breakfast or snacks. Watching the sunset from the hot tub or soaking in the views whilst chilling on the decking was just what I wished for and will definitely be returning.
Julie, So lovely of you guys to leave a review, and even better seeing you sitting out on the deck enjoying the views! Take care, Carl Property Owner

"Really lovely cottage."
Great facilities, really comfy beds and amazing hot tub. Area around the cottage was beautiful and quiet. Only drawback was the noisy neighbours who kept us awake on the second night but that can’t be helped
Thank you for the kind words and apologies the guests next door were noisy; I wish you had mentioned it as I would have asked them to "hush up". Property Owner

"Beautiful property and scenery, which added to an already relaxing stay."

"Absolutely fantastic little cottage."
Everything we needed for our week in Derbyshire. Girls loved the hot tub and the cinema room!!! Communication before and during the stay with the owner Karl was brilliant and he even let us carve the giant pumpkin. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and will look again at booking for next year.
It was lovely hosting you and the girls are a credit to their Mum and Dad! Property Owner

"A wonderful stay in a perfect, peaceful location for exploring the beautiful Ashbourne area."
The property is beautifully kept and we’ve never experienced such comfy beds! Huge thanks to Pip and her family for the warm welcome and for being on hand in case there were any issues (there weren’t). We stayed for seven nights with our 2 children (5 & 10) and even though the autumnal half term weather wasn’t great we found lots to do every day and enjoyed lots of time in the hot tub & cosy films with the cinema tv & Netflix. The local pub is a short drive and does the best homemade chips and the Tissington Trail, Thor’s cave and Dovedale were all just a short drive away. Range of local shops & bigger stores in Ashbourne is great too. Highly recommend and would definitely love to return.
Thanks Claire; this means a lot to Pip, her Mum and I. Property Owner

"Wonderful hospitality from the owners."
Lovely greeting on arrival and shown around the premises personally. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure your stay was relaxing and enjoyable. Facilities were EXCELLENT. I cannot recommend The Coachhouse enough and would recommend a stay here 100%.
-
"Wonderful stay, hosts live next door but didn’t intrude and were very helpful."
Place is lovely, super well equipped and we had a lovely stay, helped by beautiful weather, though if it had been wet we would have been very happy to spend some more time in the cinema lounge. Hot tub was a luxurious treat, and very well looked after by Karl and his daughter. Lots to do in the area for families, we could have easily filled 2 weeks though only had 1. Would recommend!

"A truly lovely comfortable and spacious holiday cottage in an ideal rural location handy for the beautiful surrounding countryside."
A great bed, the joys of the hot tub, a comfy lounge all made for a relaxing holiday. With convenience stores nearby in Rocester and a farm shop a bit further on your needs are well catered for. Countryside walks from the doorstep. So easy to find delightful scenery. We spent much of our time in Staffordshire close to base, including two days exploring the multitude of footpaths in the Churnet valley. If you don't mind driving country lanes you'll find astonishing and surprising vistas within just a few miles. Karl and Pip supplied useful local info to assist us. Good to know they are on hand to ensure you have an enjoyable trouble-free time. A small personal note (not a complaint): we love home-cooking when away and found there is not much food preparation space in the kitchen, but it wasn't a big problem and didn't detract from our pleasure.

"To echo earlier reviews, we had a wonderfully relaxing stay at the Coach House, ending each day watching the sunset from the hot tub."
Thank you for your warm hospitality Karl and best of luck with your latest project.

"The Coachhouse was fabulous."
By far the best bed we've ever had , it is huge! And the hot tub was superb, very spacious just like the whole property but with the feeling of a snug, home like feeling. But the most enjoyable and appreciated aspect of the trip here was the welcome we received from the owners Karl and his family. They looked after our every need from minute one to the moment we left. We will be returning again and the only negative was that we didn’t stay for longer. Fabulous experience and we look forward to our next booking here.

"We had a wonderful time at Bank Top Farm."
The accommodation was fantastic. We had plenty of space and the luxury of 2 bathrooms. The beds were huge and extremely comfortably. To sit in a hot tub and see the sun setting was so wonderful. The kids loved it all especially the garden Jenga; our little one used them as building blocks and he was in his element playing whilst we sat and had a drink. We were greeted by the owners who gave a very warm welcome - nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed some fantastic walks right from the property- thanks to the owners daughter who provided us with a map and walk options. Thank you so much to Bank Top Farm. We will return.

"This is a lovely holiday home with incredibly comfortable beds and Netflix available in both the sitting room and the bedrooms which the kids were over the moon about."
The hot tub was a wonderful way of ending the day and made it possible to sit out under the stars in late October which is a great experience. Karl and Pip were both very friendly and helpful and the thoughtful extras - fizz, flowers, biscuits, milk - made our stay special. Thank you.

"Where do I begin?"
How lucky were we to find this gem. From the picturesque surroundings, within easy reach of so many interesting places to visit, to the cosiest accommodation, finished to such a high standard, and with so many extra special touches. To the friendliest of welcomes, we felt at ease immediately. Well thought out even to accommodate two eighty year olds quite safely accompanied by two twenty year old grandchildren who were able to work efficiently from “home” with excellent Wi Fi connection. Intervals in the hot tub with shelter from the elements, but still incorporating such tranquil views was obviously an added bonus and with 24 hour 40 degree heating was wonderful after a days work. Lovely walking area. Owners have thought of everything for their guests comfort and we are looking at dates to come again. Thank you for a wonderful break. Maureen and Pete Ensor.

"Staying at this cottage was nothing short of amazing, from homely fixtures, decor, cinema lounge, all TVs with Netflix, the cosy fire place, big hot tub, to the way you're truly looked after from start to finish."
The owners of this property recommended places to visit, to eat and went above and beyond to make us feel at home away from home. I could not find fault with anything, the thought that has gone into making an unforgettable experience for all that stay sets this cottage apart from the others. I cannot recommend this place more highly, truly a stay to remember! Thank you so much to everyone that made our stay so special, we look forward to our next stay at the cottage!

"We booked Bank Top Farm only a couple of weeks before we visited."
How lucky we were. It’s new to Sykes cottages. The cottage is decorated beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you would need. We only slept in one room with there being only two of us. The bed was massive and very comfortable. The shower room is great. Not a powerful shower but adequate the floor gets quite wet but there is a squeegee mop to clean up. This project is all new to them and they love feed back to improve. The hot tub is wonderful. We went in every day about tea time and it was lovely to unwind after walking. Fantastic view from it. The heating is good. The TV is a smart tv so you can watch Netflix as a guest and all catch up on your sign in. The location of the cottage is good for driving to places. Pip has made a excellent picture board on the wall of nearby places to visit. We visited 3 of them and thoroughly enjoyed them. We did have a walk one evening and it’s easy to walk to a pub if you wanted to. Nearby is a Marks and Spencer food and an Aldi if you need to stock up. The owners live on site and couldn’t be more helpful. The cottage is peaceful and quiet and we couldn’t recommend it more. It’s wonderful.

"The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay."
We especially enjoyed the hot tub! The location was fabulous, in the countryside, but close enough to plenty of amenities. There were plenty of thoughtful extras that made the stay extra special. The hosts were also lovely. Everything was very clean and it was clear extra measures were in place to ensure this was the case in the current pandemic. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this to others!

Where you’ll be staying
ASHBOURNE
Matlock 15.7 miles; Bakewell 16.6 miles; Chatsworth 20.4 miles.
Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th-century, the town was a fashionable social centre, and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by and for thrill seekers Alton Towers with its exciting collecting of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.
