“Comfortable cottage within 10 minutes walk of the town centre.”

Lovely place to come back to after a days walking, warm and cosy.

Mr Baumgartner September 2019

“We were impressed by the cleanliness of the cottage.”

The bedding and towels, especially, smelled beautifully fresh. Because we were so lucky with the weather we didn’t spend much time in the cottage, but it had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Other feedback had said the stairs were steep, but there are also steps up to the cottage, which is itself on a hill. If any of this is daunting, then maybe a walking holiday in the High Peaks isn’t for you. Climbing Mam Tor and The Roaches was far harder than 14 regular, carpeted stairs. The cottage is so convenient for walking into town and for trips to Bakewell, Matlock, Leek and surrounding towns, all of which were interesting and worth visiting. The only downside of the holiday was that on returning home I was mortified to find I had accidentally packed a flannel from the cottage, which I immediately posted back. My apologies to the owners.
Mr Reay August 2019

“The cottage is in an excellent location close to the town centre.”

It was clean and tidy on arrival. Often, you could not find a space to park directly outside the property but overall this was not a significant issue as we could park nearby. The stairs are very steep but that was mentioned in the description before booking and again wasn't a problem for us - please be aware though. We had a very enjoyable week at this property and I felt it offered good value for money.
Mr Briody August 2019

“We enjoyed our holiday and the accommodation was good.”

However there were a few concerns; the stairs are very steep, not suitable for elderly or young children. The shower was a bit erratic.
Mr Pragliola June 2019

“We really loved the house and it’s location which is perfect for exploring the Peak District National sites.”

The stairs weren’t an issue at whole for our 2 little ones since the owner kindly provided us with a stairs gate which we fitted at the top of the stairs. The house is situated on top of a hill and there is a stunning view from both living room and 2nd bedroom’s windows. In the evening the sun lights up the panorama view which we really enjoyed from the living room’s sofas. The house is very close (5 mins walk ) to the town center (and a tasty fish and chips shop) and its beautiful gardens which we spend the last day of our stay exploring (as well as eating at The Cafe At Green Pavilion which is so child friendly and cosy). It’s also 2 mins drive to a big Morrison petrol station to refuel for the next trip. We really recommend this property!

“The stairs in the property were very steep this should be noted in the details of the property.”
Mrs Harris September 2018

“Perfect location in Buxton, 2 min walk to town.”
Mr Storer September 2018

“Bathroom Extracter a bit noisy but everything else about the house was very good.”

We did not use the back but it would be more presentable if tidied up. On the whole very pleased with the accommodation, especially the location although parking a bit tricky on very slopping ground.

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. We have purchased a new bathroom extractor on the back of your feedback and will be fitted shortly. Sykes owner relations

“The owner of the cottage needs to tidy up the front garden and re-landscape with particular attention to re-laying the steps from the pavement to the front door.”

The rear yard also needs attention.

Thank you for your feedback. We will take a look at the garden and landscapes and see if there is anywhere that we can make improvements. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Leigh August 2018

“Well equipped, nice central location.”

Nice homely touches. The stairs are VERY steep, but it does mention that. Only real gripe is the 2 extremely cheap , uncomfortable mattresses on 2nd floor. Springs were poking into my sons that much that one of them resorted to the sofa. Other beds comfy though. Would recommend if you didn't need to use 2nd floor beds.

Thank you for your email. I am sorry you found the beds uncomfortable, this is very much a preference thing, however I have purchased some memory foam mattress toppers which I have put on the beds. With regards to the steps I do advertise this on the website. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Billinghurst August 2018

“Very steep stairs,messy wiring on the tv, one of the blinds was broken and door handle came off one of the bedroom doors.”

I think some maintenance needs to be carried out during the season. Luckily we have teenage kids but wouldn’t be happy to take young children or anyone with mobility issues or the elderly there. Wouldn’t book again.

Thank you for your email. I do advertise the property as having steep steps which may not be suitable for young children or people with mobility issues. I am in the process of purchasing new blinds. I can confirm the door handles have been re-fitted. Sykes owner relations

“Cottage for 6 - seating for 3 Should have been warned of very steep stairs.”

Approach to front door difficult
Ms Hawes April 2018

“Good location.”

Comfortable cottage. Lovely bedding and comfy beds.
Ms Robertson February 2018

“The stairs in the cottage are extremely steep which was a concern for small children.”

A number of items in the cottage were badly worn - the handle on the cutlery drawer was not attached for example. There is no blind in the top bedroom. The drains in the sinks appear to be blocked. It is certainly not all bad but, as a result, we did not stay for the whole week and can not recommend this property.

About the location

BUXTON

Tideswell 7 miles; Bakewell 12 miles; Matlock 21 miles.

It was the constant 28 degrees centigrade of the bubbling blue waters of Buxton's eight thermal springs that originally attracted the Romans to the town. However it was during the 18th and 19th centuries, under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire, that the Palladian splendour of the Buxton of today was designed and built - including the magnificent semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens and The Opera House. Today visitors continue to enjoy these magnificent buildings and gardens, as well as the Opera House's full programme and annual festivals of music and arts. There is good walking close by with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south and a number of pretty towns and villages are dotted throughout including Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Edale. The stunning properties of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy driving distance and must be seen while visiting this area. A great base for exploring the Peak District.
