“Couldn't ask for more!”

Our 5th visit to Turret Cottage in the beautiful village of Youlgreave. Amazing to say we stumbled upon it and booked at the last minute 2 years ago - we wouldn't swap this property for any other now ...

Our 5th visit to Turret Cottage in the beautiful village of Youlgreave. Amazing to say we stumbled upon it and booked at the last minute 2 years ago - we wouldn't swap this property for any other now! A great base for walking and visiting some lovely places in the local area or slightly further afield. Lots of places to shop and eat in the village! The cottage has recently been updated to a great standard but hasn't lost its quaint appeal. Log fire and all the modern facilities you'd ever need! Dog friendly too. Makes for the perfect break - winter or summer. Home made chocolate cake on arrival courtesy of the cottages brilliant owner - Louise! Can't recommend it enough.

Mr Thomlinson-stalker July 2019

“It is an old cottage with an old cottage style, the beds were very comfortable, there is every thing you need.”

Dog friendly and parking in front. The owner lives next door and is very friendly and helpful. Lovely quiet village with a couple of shops and pub's

“Another fantastic visit”

Our 4th visit to Turret Cottage and another fantastic holiday. Sofa very comfortable for those nights in after a fabulous day out in the Derbyshire countryside. The cottage is just as it should be homely and welcoming. Loved every minute. Here's to the next time xx

“The cottage was extremely cosy and the owner was very welcoming and helpful, recommending local walks that would suit our family.”

The village had several small stores and pubs and there was plenty to do in th area. Carsington reservoir was a lovely walk, with plenty of interesting things around the route to keep the children going!

“Lovely cottage, good location, owner was very helpful and friendly.”

We had a great time.
Miss Fayle October 2018

“A full week's stay, absolutely marvellous, our second visit in two years.”

Louise (the owner) very welcoming and friendly, left us an amazing cake. Facilities were more than adequate for cooking and relaxing - we were snug and comfortable even on a couple of cold October days. Would definitely book again in a year or two (but have other areas to visit next year!) Youlgrave itself is a delight - staff at both shops and the George were very friendly and helpful.

“Home-from-home in lovely village”

This is a lovely home-from-home in a pretty village. It is set back from the main road with shared access to the garden. The owner was very welcoming and gave us free range of the tomatoes in her greenhouse!The village shop stayed open for us as we arrived just as they were closing. We ate in two of the village pubs which were both very friendly with very good value, tasty food.

“We only booked the cottage at the last minute but so pleased we did!”

A very warm welcome awaits you from the host Louise and the log fire and central heating the cottage provides! The grade two listed cottage is an absolute delight and very centrally based in wonderful Youlgreave, a very well equipped village . Beautiful walks around the village and places like Eyam, Tideswell and Hathersage all within 25 minutes drive. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone thinking of booking. See you in January!
Mr Wimhurst August 2018

“The cottage requires a complete renovation.”

The furniture, carpet's, mattress are all very old and worn out. The microwave was full of rust and unusable. The village of Youlgreave is great but after walking all day the cottage was not a nice place to relax. Sykes need to visit and manage it better We feel that a refund is not out of the question and should be offered, if it wasn't for the position of the cottage we would have gone home early. S & C

“Very pleasant.”

On arrival a cake was baked and left on the kitchen table by louise the owner of the property who seemed very pleasant during brief conversations. When it was identified that I’d booked the cottage for my partners birthday, louise went out of her way to bake another cake especially for the birthday date which was a lovely lemon sponge, (thanks for that Louise as i never got the opportunity to thank you). The cottage was nice, it had good facilities in the kitchen, the only negative was the very creaky floorboards upstairs, if you’re a light sleeper someone getting up during the night would almost certainly wake you. Putting that aside, myself, partner and dogs had a very pleasant week. Thanks again Louise.

“QUAINT AND QUIRKY BUT WELCOMING AND COMFORTABLE”

The homemade cake presented to us by the owner was particularly welcoming and set the tone for the friendly hospitality provided throughout our stay. The fixtures and fittings in Turret Cottage may not have been absolutely pristine but everything worked and overall the property was in a very clean and tidy condition. The cottage proved to be an excellent centre for exploring the highlights of Derbyshire which included walking through the dales around Youlgreave and visiting nearby Chatsworth. We enjoyed our visit!
