Very pleased. Convenient to get on the High Peak Trail.

“This was a lovely little cottage , very clean with everything we needed .”

A nice little garden for the dogs and to sit out in . The views are beautiful , location only short drives away from places of interest . We would definitely return .

- Miss Ounsworth, August 2019
“Cottage was beautiful!”

Found it very clean and well presented. Had everything we needed, including dishwasher, washing Machine, tumble dryer and even beer fridge. Lovely view from the cottage, especially from the masters bedroom- enjoy it from the small balcony. The cottage is about 50 yards from parking, but quite steep up a small hill to get to it, does help to burn off those extra calories you have gained from the wide selections from good pub food found from down the road. Local pubs very friendly to everyone including woofies and children. Garden very safe for dogs!! Must have for us as we had two small dogs. Stone wall all the way round. Will be coming again. Lovely owners and made us feel very welcome.

“Sky view Cottage is one of the nicest cottages I have stayed in, it has everything you need and is really clean.”

- Ms Sams, May 2019
“Just that it was a little difficult to find the cottage.”

No names if you publish the feedback please.

- Mr Taylor, May 2019
“Thanks for a lovely weekend in your lovely cottage.”

The place was immaculate and we really enjoyed our stay.

- Mr Twist, April 2019
“Pleasant cottage with great views.”

Comfortable beds and well equipped. Obviously it is on a steep hill and you have to carry luggage etc up a steep path to the cottage from street below. Also stairs are steep in cottage and the toilet is downstairs but if you can manage that it is a charming place to stay. Good dog friendly cafe at the local Stone Centre and Wirksworth is a short distance away.

- Mrs O'Connor, March 2019
“The cottage was comfortable, clean and the view was great especially from the master bedroom.”

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay the patio was lovely and would be fantastic on a summers day. Could not fault it.

- Mrs Spriggs, March 2019
“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.

- Mrs Binns, December 2018
“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.

- Mrs Edwards, December 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.

- Miss Denison, September 2018
“Lovely cottage , very clean , everything we needed, great area to visit, go visit will not be disappointed .”

- Mr williams, 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 Davies, 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

- Mr Redshaw, July 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.

- Mrs Fry, June 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.

- Mr Harris-lowe, February 2018
“Very professionally done”

- Ms Newman, December 2017
“A hidden gem, lots of walks, without moving the car.”

- Mrs Smee, December 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.
