“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.

- Mr Ricart, 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.

“This is a lovely home-from-home in a pretty village.”

The owner was very welcoming and 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.

“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!

“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

“We spent an absolutely wonderful two weeks at Turret Cottage.”

The weather was exceptional, and the cottage was clean, comfortable, well-equipped and located in a lovely village. The cottage also had an enclosed garden shared with the owner, and which was perfect for our two small Llasa/Yorkie crosses. The owner Louise welcomed us with a homemade (and very tasty) cake which was a nice touch, and was on hand if needed for advice and tips on best places to visit, eat, etc. She couldn't have done more to ensure we had a great holiday in the Peak District. The village itself boasts 3 good pubs, with "The Farmyard" being our favourite for food, although "The George" is also very good value (recommend the Fish and Chips and the Beef Carvery). There is also a shop/Deli three doors up from the cottage, our personal recommendations from there being the Pork Pies, the Dry Cure Bacon and the Coconut 'n' Raspberry slices, all of which are excellent. There's no shortage of places to see and visit, and other than the must-sees of Chatsworth House, Lyme Park ("Pemberley" in TV's "Pride and Prejudice") and the town of Bakewell, we enjoyed Ilam Park (NT property), walks around Alsopefield and Milldale, and the reservoirs in the Upper Derwent (where the Dambusters squadron trained for their mission). It was our first holiday in the Peak District, and we will definitely be returning!

“Pictures on your site doesn't show the real lay out.”

Garden a tip couldn't sit outside which was a same cos weather was gud. Youlgrave is a lovely place gud place to stay n visit

“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.

“Good location for walking and great pub in the George but remember to book as was very busy.”

Local shops very good too and helpful in recommending things to do, we were very lucky to get there as it snowed just as we arrived but added to the fun especially for our dog. Cottage was a little cold and doors could probably need some draft proofing but fire was great. Also had to fix the washing machine as the the filter had been clogged but not the owners fault at least it works now. Good selection of literature in the cottage for the local area walks out from Youlgreave and fantastic scenery in a quiet village.

- Mr Harris, March 2018
“Louise the owner was very welcoming .”

Gave us a warm welcome and a cake. The cottage is very close to the shop, post office, the george pub, bulls head and our favourite the farmyardpub. Lovely walks nr the stream. Not far to bakewell, matlock and has off street parking which is a bonus

- Mrs Kirkham, November 2017
“The owner was a lovely lady who made us feel welcome but wasn’t intrusive- she had a cake baked for us to welcome us to the cottage which was very tasty and such a wonderful touch.”

We brought both a baby and a dog and found the cottage was fab for both. Definitely highly recommend Turret Cottage!

- Mrs xu, November 2017
“Made very welcome by the owner, who was lovely - provided us with a fantastic (huge!”

) homemade apple cake that lasted us half the week! The cottage was cosy and perfect for two friends wanting a nice base for some walking. So nice in fact we've already booked the same week in 2018! The cottage is perfectly placed - just two doors down from a fantastic little tea shop/store stocking home made foods and fresh local produce (the bacon was to die for and we both took home several homemade meat pies from their freezer...) and across the road is another general store/post office, so no need to drive around looking for a supermarket - or even bother taking food up with you! With 3 pubs in walking distance you're spoiled for choice, but we kept going back to the George - friendly staff, amazing fish and chips and a great steak pie... large portions and real ale and real coke on tap - if you don't want to cook, you don't have to! There are walks virtually from the doorway in every direction, with no need to take the car out if you don't want to - Haddon Hall is only a short drive or walk away and well worth a visit. Even in October with strong winds we had a fantastic time. We can't wait to go back!

“Delightful surroundings, cosy cottage - just the place for family of 4 with 2 dogs!”

“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!
