"Thank you for a lovely week in your cottage."
Great location, with everything easily available. 2 min walk to cafes, pubs and popular walking spots. Kids enjoyed the books, games, Netflix and Decor and enjoyed walking next door to see the rabbits and grab a drink. Could have easily stayed for longer. Only thing we would say was mattresses r probably due for an upgrade, but we r fussy sleepers, apart from that everything was spot on and would definitely book again.
Many thanks for your feedback, so glad you enjoyed the cottage. We look forward to seeing you again sometime. Judith and Julian Property Owner

"We found the cottage very easily, the instructions were very clear and precise."
The car we travelled in is only a standard four door hatchback but parking was tight and a second car of the same dimensions would struggle to get parked. Access to the cottage was again as instructed by the owners with the main keys placed were they were supposed to be. The cottage was comfortable but due to the nature of the building quite dark even on a sunny day. Again due to the type of building, we thought on arrival that the atmosphere was "musty" and un-used. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms very comfortable. Bathroom was very modern and clean with the groundfloor bathroom a bonus. The only downside we found was that a light was out in the lounge area, the bathroom skylight was difficult to open and externally, the garden umbrella could not be used as one of the arms was broken and laid on the table adjacent.
Thank you for your kind comments and apologies for the maintenance issues which have been attended to so thank you for pointing these out. We would like guests to feel they can use the contact numbers we provide if matters come to light, and we will do our utmost to resolve such matters during their stay. We have always regarded the parking at the property to be a particular advantage given the premium on parking in Castleton and the property’s proximity to the centre of this picturesque peak village. As access is from a single-track lane which is not uncommon for a village of this nature we would urge care when parking. Notwithstanding this at 4.5 metres wide and 5.8 metres deep the parking area is as wide and deeper than two standard parking spaces and we have regularly parked two vehicles, an SUV and a smaller saloon car together here over the last 16 years. In order to facilitate parking, particularly of a second vehicle, we have removed the five bar gates. Many thanks Julian and Judith Property Owner

"We found the cottage to be very comfortable and well-equipped."
We especially liked the garden at the rear of the property, with the stream running behind it. The property proved to be a very convenient base for day trips to other parts of the Peak District and Derbyshire. We would happily stay there again.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Trickett Gate Cottage & the area around Castleton is wonderful."
We would return to this cottage as its very comfortable, in a perfect location on the edge of the village in a quiet lane and the owners have been incredibly thoughtful in everything they provide. The negative accuracy of listing is because there is no freezer ! Sykes have a fridge /freezer listed in your description of the property. We have never stayed anywhere without a freezer in about 35 years of renting cottages and this is something that the owners may wish to address ? The other negative is that there is no mention in the description of the low ceilings & the very low and actually dangerous doorway to the utility room & cloakroom. We are a family of 4 adults and we all hit our heads on the top of this doorway (in the mornings, not just after a beer
Dear Katie We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Trickett Gate Cottage and we hope to welcome you back some time to enjoy more of the local area. Thank you for your feedback which we welcome and will always endeavour to make things better as a result. I hope you can accept our apologies over the freezer and the inconvenience it caused you. We replaced all the kitchen appliances just before your visit and inadvertently the fridge/freezer was replaced with a fridge. Of course, we understand our guests will need access to a freezer and your feedback at the time of your visit allowed us to rectify this oversight immediately after your stay such that the property has been equipped with a mini freezer ever since so many thanks for that. Sorry also to hear about the bumped heads. We would obviously not want a recurrence and we have installed a warning sign and referred to this in our Welcome Pack. We hope that guests will enjoy the charm of this historic little entry which features in a local guidebook without the risk of bumping their heads. As parts of the cottage are medieval in origin the ceilings are beamed and lower than modern day ceilings as with many cottages in the area. We took care when photographing the property to give an accurate representation of these historic features, in particular the beamed living room and the small door to achieve a balance between reflecting the charm of the features and the comfort and convenience of our guests. We will of course review this with Sykes in light of your comments. Thanks again. Julian and Judith Property Owner

Thank you for your lovely feedback Property Owner

"Loved all the extras eg dishwasher tablets, washing powder and so on."
It is a lovely cottage & we had a wonderful stay, thank you. The only comment about comfort was it was a little hot at night (I think the duvets were perhaps a little thick) and there were one or two cobwebs in areas but these were minor. Thank you
We’re very glad that you had a good stay. Thank you for your feedback which is always useful. Summer duvets will be available in the future Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Trickett Gate Cottage."
The house was comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed breakfast outside in the garden next to the stream with the occasional duck visitor. Castleton has lots to do and lovely walks from the door. You are also well placed for other attractions in the Peak District. The only thing I would mention is that the parking is tight for 2 cars, so you need to be a confident driver to navigate it. That said, off road parking is a huge benefit, as it is very few and far between in properties here given the age of Castleton. I would definitely book again, and really didn't want to leave. Also, look out for the fossils in the wall near the drain pipe at the front of the property!
Many thanks for your feedback, we’re very happy you had a lovely time and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner
