“Everything about the cottage was lovely, the location was also really good!”

Just to improve I would suggest having a few more essentials stocked in the cupboard which we have always had before when using a Sykes cottage e.g. salt & pepper, a bath mat. Apart from that would highly recommend.

“Beautiful clean cottage in a perfect location.”

Very well equipped with lots of crockery and glasses. It was warm and cosy and just right for a winter break.
Miss Denison September 2018

“Mainly accessibility and cleanliness kitchen.”

The listing states that you can get to the cottage to load/unload and you can not, you're about 50ft away if you negotiate a very tight steep lane. Leaving you to carry all your things along a steep footpath to the house itself where there is then a big step up to then negotiate. With a bad back and a bad knee we would never have chosen this accommodation had it not been falsely advertised. We were aware about the roadside parking away from property which was fine but loading/unloading is not. The rest is attention to detail: The kitchen has damp smelling cupboards which need a good clean inside and out. There is only one glass tumbler when the cottage sleeps four, however there's two wine carafes and plenty of wine glasses so I assume if you have kids they can share the tumbler and you can lap up the vino! The TV is under the bookshelf in the living room facing along the wall not diagonally into the room, so not easy to watch by everyone. We ended up getting a kitchen chair and sitting the TV. Bedroom is massive but nothing to put clothes on overnight apart from the floor, a couple of chairs or an ottoman would help. Little twin room smells funky, and the bed under the window has no support. Facility wise good and Bolehill excellent location for local walks and attractions of Derwent Valley. We would return to the area but not to this cottage.

“Lovely cottage , very clean , everything we needed, great area to visit, go visit will not be disappointed .”
Mr Davies July 2018

“Excellent location for surrounding places of interest with an interesting town and local attractions.”

My wife thinks the cottage was probably the best we have stayed in. We would like to have stayed longer but the heat was a bit off-putting, particularly for my wife. We didn't realise what a beautiful area the Peak District is.
Mr Redshaw July 2018

“Enjoyed our stay a lovely peaceful quiet place if only there was some better ...”

Enjoyed our stay a lovely peaceful quiet place if only there was some better seating on the patio area a couple of comfortable lounges would of been ideal ,we noticed this has already been commented on the visitors book but overall we couldn't fault it
Mrs Fry June 2018

“Not suitable for young children due to the steep stairs and the main bedroom door opening onto the first step (which has had a third of the step cut away at the top - ie toddler could fall straight down the stairs as they would not always be conscious of it when opening the bedroom door).”

Also the dog hair from the previous booking caused breathing problems but that is our fault for not thinking to avoid pet friendly accommodation. The roads are steep and no immediate parking so this may be challenging for older people especially when packing up or unloading.
Mr Harris-lowe February 2018

“The cottage was extremely clean, well equipped and very cosy with beautiful views.”

On road parking was limited and a problem for our large car but didn’t spoil things.. Contact with the owner was made easy and a pleasure to deal with.

“Very professionally done”
Mrs Smee December 2017

“A hidden gem, lots of walks, without moving the car.”
Mrs Meers October 2017

“We loved the cosy cottage with its beautiful views and proximity to the Derwent Valley.”

The facilities were excellent and the care and attention of the owner was appreciated.

An end-terrace, stone cottage, resting in a quiet area of Bolehill near Wirksworth.

Tucked into a charming location, families and couples will be right at home in this cosy setting.

Wander inside, and a lovely sitting area awaits hosting an electric fire, comfortable couches and a stone fireplace.

Across from this, a neatly presented kitchen is neighboured by a table and chairs so that you can prepare your favourite meals, and relax, morning through to evening.

To the side, a bathroom comes complete with a white finish, and pale blue tiles that bring life to this space.

Take the stairs, and a king-size bedroom is uplifted by nearby rooftop views, and a delightful balcony is off this room.

Continue on round, and a twin bedroom adds a classic touch to the formation.

Step outside, and a patio area is perfect for relaxing on a sunny day, accompanied by a shed which is ideal for extra storage.

About the location

WIRKSWORTH

Matlock 6 miles.

Wirksworth is a small, charming market town situated just a few miles from Matlock, on the edge of The Peak District. Wirksworth is full of character with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Independent shops sit alongside the deli, butchers and bakers with a strong local food ethic. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient “jitties” and courtyards of the Puzzle Gardens, along with the Heritage Centre and the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water, Black Rocks and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is fantastic walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival in May. There is also an annual Arts festival with an amazing Art & Architecture Trail in September, showcasing contemporary art and international performers of every kind. With an art deco independent cinema and a range of places to eat there is plenty to entertain. The town offers a leisure centre with a climbing wall and a small trainer swimming pool, The Eco Centre, The National Stone Centre and the Mount Cook Adventure Centre. The weekly market and monthly farmers' market provide local produce and crafts. Beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath, with its spectacular cable car, the heritage Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom. Only two miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. In all, Wirksworth is a great location for a varied holiday.
