  ...3 couples, 2 children... We found the property to be lovely, comfortable and with virtually all we needed-our hosts Alan and Cassa were very responsive to our needs (especially with the loads of washing and drying-during rainy weather!) Castleton is a great base and our daughter's wedding was a beautiful and joyous occasion.....wonderful memories made...

  The beds were comfy, we had an en suite for each couple. The dining area was generous and the kitchen had everything we needed. Parking for 3+ cars was a bonus. A perfect location for exploring Castleton and doing lots of walking. The owner was welcoming and we loved the scones he left us.

  The property was very clean, comfortable and spacious for two families with teens, with a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for cooking family meals. The house was in an ideal location for mooching around the picturesque village of Castleton with its many friendly pubs and stunning walks in the Peaks with the dog.

• "We had a lovely stay at Talbot house."

  There were scones and jam and cream, Prosecco, milk, dog bowls, soap in every bathroom, washing up liquid to name a few. Touches like this really set u up for a good stay! The only down side was the back door leads to a shared drive so u go down 2 steps and turn right and up 2 steps to go to the patio. The patio is secure for dogs but means u can’t just have the back door open for the dogs to wander. Also eating out is not as easy as having direct access. This was not mentioned in the listing. Overall tho a well positioned property with plenty of walking and the host was very approachable had we had any probs, which we didn’t.

  All necessary comforts are provided, including a plate of welcoming pastries and milk and butter in the fridge.

The house is ideally located in Castleton which is a very good centre for some great walks and convenient for many other activities in the area. We used the top floor twin as a single which was good as the ceiling does slope and would inconvenience the occupant of the bed below the slope and this also makes the chest of drawers a little awkward to access.

  We had three nights in Talbot house and was very impressed by this beautiful property. The standard of decoration and comfort was fabulous, super comfy beds...essential after a long day hiking! The welcome pack when we arrived was very generous and the owner who was most welcoming, allowed us to unload the cars even though we were 2 hours too early. Good sized kitchen with plenty of crockery & cutlery & glasses and a double oven made catering for 8 people much easier. If we needed to be critical, we felt more 'dishes' generally would have been useful, we used the cereal bowls for everything but generally it fitted the bill and everything worked! We were genuinely Impressed with Talbot house but this is feedback so the only critisism we felt was a bath would have been nice and the shower rooms were a bit 'bijou'. Castleton was fabulous and we experienced the delights of most pubs and enjoyed a lovely meal at the George. We definitely want to return to this beautiful place and wouldn't hesitate to stay at Talbot house again.

  Owner lives next door and is available if required albeit we found everything fine and didn’t need to seek him out. On arrival we found a tray comprising a loaf of bread, salty butter, cookies and Prosecco - a very welcoming gift. Thoughtfully they had also left a bottle of milk in the fridge and tea and coffee had been provided - everything you could need before a trip to the shops to stock up. There were lots of touches like that - an OS map on the wall to get acquainted with the area, board games in the cupboard, bowls and treats for the dog, blankets for the dog to lie on - to name but a few. Our dog is old and doesn’t take too kindly to change but he was made so welcome he settled quickly. Castleton is a lovely village with lots of nice eating places. We can recommend The Peak Hotel, The George, and Tilly’s TeaRoom, all of which are dog friendly (as are, apparently a number of others, but as we were out and about in other areas these were the ones we tried in Castleton). For provisions Pevrils Store & Bakery is a MUST. Their bread is delicious - we bought varying different loaves of bread every day (sometimes twice it was so delicious) and cakes, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Talbot House is a lovely base from which to explore the Peak District

• "The Talbot House is an excellent holiday home."

  It is perfectly situated in Castleton, near all the amenities. The house is spacious, very comfortable and has everything needed for a great stay. I highly recommend the property. This was our second visit and have already booked for next year.

• "This was a fabulous base for exploring the Peak District and offered us everything for which we could want."

  Mr Baskerville was as accommodating as he possibly could be (especially considering our unexpected feline needs, and a blind husband when it came to looking for an iron!). The house was spotlessly clean, and the space caters for lounging, dining and after-dinner games. We all slept soundly ... so be sure to bring an alarm clock!

• "There were 4 couples, and a young child, in our party, spanning 3 generations."

  Plus our well behaved dogs. And we all had a fabulous time! The owners were extremely animal friendly. A bowl of water was already set down in the kitchen waiting for its first thirsty customer and there was a full jar of doggie treats provided! The rooms for the adults were so clean, cosy and attractive that we all slept well and enjoyed the lovely bathroom facilities. The downstairs loo was a bonus. The kitchen/diner was huge enough for us all to congregate in as meals were prepared. All the equipment we needed was there. We sat at the lovely big table, taking in the wonderful view. We didn't watch much tv, but it was in a wonderful, cosy lounge, big enough for us all. The situation is fabulous for a base to explore the town and surrounding countryside and has plenty of parking space. We met the owmer, Mr. Baskerville, who was so nice and helpful. We do hope the dogs didn't disturb him as they were a bit unsettled the first night, so we do apologise for any inconvenience. We definitely hope we get chance to visit again sometime. Thank you Sykes and Talbot House!

• "The cottage is fantastically situated with wonderful views and close proximity to the shops, public houses, fabulous walks and the most wonderful bakery which became a regular haunt."

  In fact this holiday break became all about the cake! We did have one mishap whilst at the cottage but this was sorted efficiently and without any fuss which is a credit to both Sykes Cottages and to the owners of Talbot House, we couldn’t have asked for more, and for that we would just like to say “thank you!” The cottage itself was comfortable and well equipped, which contributed to feeling homely in a very short space of time and adding to the enjoyment of staying. We didn’t make use of the patio area due to the inclement weather but please be mindful that there is no direct access from the house - you need to go out the back/side door and then into the gated patio area - This won’t be a problem for most people but may be a consideration for families with small children or pets. Overall we had a lovely stay, with a wonderfully generous welcome pack, in a cottage that was well placed to meet the different needs and interests of all who were staying. Thank you!

  It is comfortable and spacious and the owner, Alan, could not do enough for us. He made us feel extremely welcome. And it is in a perfect location in Castleton, close to all the pubs and shops. We will be returning.

• "Had a great week in Talbot House, helped by fantastic weather."

  The house is very comfortable and warm. Alan, the host was next door and very friendly and helpful. The location is superb - right in the middle of Castleton so no need to use the car as you can do lots of walks from the front door. Including to several pubs! Lovely comfy sitting room and nice big kitchen with a large table for group meals. Excellent dishwasher but the house could probable benefit from a few more mugs. Not a criticism, just a suggestion. Lovely clean, soft white bedding and large towels. When we did use the car we went up to Ladybower reservoir which is about 6 miles away and there are several fantastic walks from the visitor centre. Great rental property. We will certainly book again.
