“We had a lovely holiday, the cottage was warm and welcoming, needed with the rather inclement weather.”

The kitchen was well equipped, just missing a few things , a veg peeler , cheese grater and a casserole dish would have been useful. Agree with other guests that the sofa is quite cosy for two , some kind of foot rest would make a difference, nice to cosy up in front of the wood burner, shame we had no wood provided, a trip to the local B&Q soon sorted that out. Bedroom warm and cosy, jacuzzi bath a real treat and a safe enclosed garden for the dog, as well as the meadow for some off leash ...

Bedroom warm and cosy, jacuzzi bath a real treat and a safe enclosed garden for the dog, as well as the meadow for some off leash runs, Ollie loved it. Yes I would recommend a holiday here. Guests must go to the local pub The Church, certain of a warm welcome, food is excellent, large portions and dog friendly. Lovely friendly village, good walking in the area and easy access to Buxton and Bakewell by car.

Mr Southam August 2020

“A very nice cottage in a great location.”

Good sized living room/kitchen and bedroom. Nice to have downstairs toilet as well as in bathroom upstairs. The wi-fi worked well, shame there is no phone signal so had to use email to contact owners. A few negatives - there was no barbecue as advertised. The vacuum didn't work (although that wasn't a problem and owner did ask if we wanted it sorting) . There was no starter pack of wood for the wood burner. We sent a message and some arrived the next day but was a bit disappointed as it was a few bits of skirting board and some Formica coated chipboard. Once we had booked and paid we found out there were some restrictions on where the dog could and couldn't go. Pity that is not in the property description as it would affect some peoples decision to book. People in neighbouring cottage thought this too.

Mr Smith August 2020

“Fantastic week away, loved the cottage, pub down the road was great.”

Lovely food, very welcoming.. nice walks. Will be booking again next year.

- Mr Smith, August 2020
Mrs Slim August 2020

“Lovely holiday in The Peaks, cottage clean, good location pub just up the road, nice walks on doorstep.”

Good for parking as can park off road. Jacuzzi bath was a bonus after long walks! In the details it said there was use of a barbecue but there wasn’t one, text the owner but no response that was the only negative.

- Mrs Slim, August 2020
Mr Nadin July 2020

“Everything about the cottage was fantastic, the village of Chelmorton was beautiful and the pub at the top of the hill was fantastic food great and staff very helpful, can't wait to go back again.”

- Mr Nadin, July 2020
Mr Mooney March 2020

“Lovely cozy cottage, ideal to self isolate , great pub up the road and good walks.”

Locals are friendly and helpful as are the owners. Our dog loved the private paddock and the view is fantastic.

- Mr Mooney, March 2020
Mrs Cox February 2020

“We have just returned home after spending five nights at this property.”

The location was perfect to enjoy the Peak District. We had quite a bit of snow but the cottage was so warm and cosy that we didn’t mind at all. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay an enjoyable one. The jacuzzi bath was a luxury. We will definitely be returning at a later date. I would highly recommend this property. Also the Church Inn in the village is very good .

- Mrs Cox, February 2020
Mrs Hardy February 2020

“Fantastic cosy little cottage!”

Clean & comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The only downside was the settee which was a little uncomfortable however we used the cushions & pillows from upstairs which helped! The underfloor heating was a bonus too! As dog owners, having private access to the meadows just a short walk from the cottage was great as dogs can run free off lead and it is enclosed. There's a great pub in the village, the Church Inn, within walking distance and the food there is amazing! Also dog friendly. The cottage is within easy reach of many great walks and surrounding areas and there are many good places to eat. Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future.

- Mrs Hardy, February 2020
Mrs Aworinde February 2020

“The cottage was gorgeous and we'll equipped but was extremely warm ( even with snow outside).”

There was advice to call the owner with any issues but unfortunately there wasn't a phone signal.

- Mrs Aworinde, February 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you liked the cottage and managed to enjoy the snow! Due to the poor reception in the village, text messaging is stronger. The information booklet in cottage also gives home address of owner just 50yds away. We hope to welcome you back to the cottage in the future Sykes owner relations
Mr Carr November 2019

“Lovely modern cottage in a quiet village, great location for a few days or longer to see the sights of the Peck District.”

The cottage had everything you need to enjoy your stay, would definitely recommend it.

- Mr Carr, November 2019
Mrs Walker November 2019

“Everything we needed to know was explained to us by Tracey the day before we arrived.”

The cottage itself was exactly as the photos. Clean, tidy and cosy. Had everything you could need for a weekend away. The only negative was the sofa is very small and not easy for 2 people to relax comfortably on for any period of time. Lovely village with a nice pub which we were able to take our dog to. Food was very good. All in all a lovely weekend away.

- Mrs Walker, November 2019
Mrs Smart October 2019

“The cottage was lovely it had everything you could need with walks on the doorstep.”

Bed was very comfortable but only negative was the uncomfortable settee. We resolved this by bringing 2 of the bed pillows down to sit on on it to stop it from sagging so much. Would recommend and would definitely stay again in the future.

- Mrs Smart, October 2019
Mrs Harvey October 2019

“The cottage was very clean on arrival apart from paint splashes on down stairs floor which was a shame as flooring was lovely!”

Loved the underfloor heating.Everything was of a very good standard, bed linen was beautiful towels thick and soft.The welcome pack was a nice touch also as the little welcome party. Charlie our dog loved the large area for him to walk and play. We have rented a few Sykes cottages now as feel this was the best one! Nice area with lots to do, thank you we enjoyed our stay.

- Mrs Harvey, October 2019
Mr Taylor September 2019

“The cottage was beautiful, with very modern features and great ambience and lovely touches, making it a wonderful home from home.”

There was a great welcome pack of essentials and in invitation for a small get together the first evening. It was fun and full of useful hints for the holiday. My dog had an enclosed back garden and was chuffed with the underfloor heating, too. I loved the village and the walks around the area were full of England at its best with pasture and meadow, dry stone walls and sheep and cattle grazing. I look forward to coming back to Chelmorton for another holiday :)

- Mr Taylor, September 2019
Mr Parker September 2019

“Lovely modern cottage in a beautiful village setting, would highly recommend for anyone who just wants to get away from it all.”

Great paddock to take your dog in, we loved it!!

- Mr Parker, September 2019
Mr Griffin September 2019

“We found that the comfort of the Cottage was very poor with only a 2 seater settee as the only seating in the lounge.”

We found that because of the open plan design that noise echoed around the cottage and cooking smells invaded our sleeping area, because there were no doors cutting off these faults. The lack of a blind/curtain in the bathroom and the kitchen area was rather off putting as we did not know for sure that we were not being observed from outside. The actual blinds in the bedroom were completely useless as they failed to cut out the morning light. When we did look out the kitchen window, the view was cut off with a very high stone wall and we did not realise from the description that we would not have a very good landscape view of the Dales. Notification should have been given that mobile phone signal was very poor and could only be received in the limited opening of the village pub. We will not be returning.

- Mr Griffin, September 2019
Mrs Quigley August 2019

“The main drawback was no phone signal and no WiFi.”

The house was clean and comfortable.it gave the minimum necessary for 2 the toilet seat was repaired by selves and thick dust on bed headboard but that is ultra critiçal. If you enjoy being away from everything and deep into a country village with no local amenities apart from one pub, go for it.

- Mrs Quigley, August 2019
Mrs Cramer July 2019

“We had a very enjoyable stay, so much to do within 30 mins of destination.”

Walkers paradise. Would definately return to this area.

- Mrs Cramer, July 2019
Ms Knott July 2019

“The cottage is lovely!”

It was built in 2016 and blends the traditional look with modern conveniences and style. The kitchen is well equipped and yet there is room for you to store your own food. The cottage is open plan and whilst it is a one bedroom property, it has plenty of room and a spacious feel. The bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on and I am not exaggerating! The garden is laid with astro grass and has no flowers, which I found quite acceptable as it was a nice space for my dog to move about in. Just up the road is a 3 acre meadow that is accessible only for guests of Primitive Croft. It is the perfect place to let your dog safely off lead. The cottage is well placed for exploring the Peak District and I was able to access many enjoyable walks within 20 minutes of driving. Both my dog and I loved our stay. I still have much of the Peak District to explore and when I do I am likely to return to Primitive Croft.

- Ms Knott, July 2019
Mr Wilson July 2019

“Limited mobile phone signal”

- Mr Wilson, July 2019
Mrs Bevan June 2019

“A beautiful and built to a very high standard property, however that was what we expected from the photos, inside the cottage could do with a good redecoration, really bad marks on walls especially in the kitchen, and where the bath has leaked in the past the water stain remains on the ceiling, the windows have not been cleaned since the build the sticker marks can still clearly be seen.”

The PlayStation can't be used as the controller has no lead, there were none of the usual little bits left by previous visitors which while petty is a nightmare when you can't check in until late and there are no shops near by. So on arriving with groceries and a microwave meal found the microwave wasn't working on fact we unplugged it as the outside was red hot and the food cold. The fridge and freezer was switched off so the frozen food we took had to go in a just switched on freezer. And then we found dog mess in the garden and the BBQ was filthy so we had to try clean and gave up. I do believe we had a fantastic break, but the little things mounting up for us while we don't expect perfection, we do like what's promised in the pictures. We realise the owners were just up the street from us but on arrival when bringing the dog mess, the fridges being off they just made excuses and then changed the subject so not a lot of point telling them about anything else, although I did message them about the microwave and received no reply.

Nice cottage with good parking the welcome pack was useful we enjoyed tea and biscuits on arrival The cottage is ideal for a couple with dog We found the bed very comfortable and the area is quiet so enjoyed good nights sleep Situated within easy reach of Buxton and Bakewell yet surrounded by beautiful countryside all made for an enjoyable week We used the local pub a couple of times for Sunday lunch and an evening meal the food is very good and reasonable priced also our dog was made welcome too

Miss Broughall April 2019

“Just came home after a lovely holiday in 1 primitive Croft, the cottage was lovely and equipped with everything you need.”

The welcome package was great . Tracy the owner was very helpful ,friendly and recommended a great horse trekking centre which we managed to get a trek in at short notice yay . We would definitely come back again

- Miss Broughall, April 2019
Mr Brough March 2019

“We just had a nice time at this cottage .”

It was the centre point of everything we had planned , nice pub at the end of the road Church inn . If you do any walks around Monyash area we do requimend The Bulls Head book up in advance for restaurant as the bar room gets packed ... Ian & Samantha .8 / March 2019

- Mr Brough, March 2019
Mrs Foulkes February 2019

“The description is a little miss leading - states King size bedroom but is a double bed.”

Shower is only for hair washing not body shower. It is important to understand that there is no phone signal.

- Mrs Foulkes, February 2019
Mrs Wright January 2019

“Lovely cottage, just the right size of the 2 of us & dog.”

Everything was just right, from walking in to leaving. Tracey one of the owners was lovely arriving with lots of bottled water & apologies at Seven Trent needing to turn the water off on our 2nd day. No phone signal & very limited internet which was really nice. Pub at end of village offers a warm welcome & free wifi, food is good too. We will be returning.

- Mrs Wright, January 2019
Mrs Flesher December 2018

“Lovely cottage in beautiful Peak District village.”

Excellent location as a base for exploring the area. The cottage itself was comfortable and well equipped, with some welcome goodies which were much appreciated.

- Mrs Flesher, December 2018
Mrs Banks October 2018

“Everything was where explained it would be, everything electrical worked, nothing was complicated.”

The walks were brilliant, pub was so friendly, and dog friendly. Would definitely go again.

- Mrs Banks, October 2018
Mrs Hancox October 2018

“Lovely cosy cottege, local pub very welcoming and excellent food, fabulous area for walking and cycling.”

Owner very promptly fixed a small issue we had with the bath .

- Mrs Hancox, October 2018
Mrs Plewes September 2018

“Everything was great except for the extremely creaky bed.”

We ended up on the floor because it was so bad.

- Mrs Plewes, September 2018
Mrs West September 2018

“The location of the cottage was excellent, it is a beautiful area.”

Colin and Tracey were very warm and welcoming and gave us some really useful information. The cottage itself was a pleasure. Everything we needed. Furnished to a high standard. We had access to a private meadow walk which was absolutely lovely in the evening. Would highly recommend it. Please be aware that due to space in the bedroom, the double bed is a bit on the small side. I went with my daughter and as she doesn't take up too much room, it was fine for us.

- Mrs West, September 2018
Mr Lee September 2018

“What an absolutely lovely and well presented cottage, ideally suited for walks and nearby towns.”

And what a pleasure for our dog the 3 acre she could run around in, she absolutely loved it, infact since she's been back home because she didn't go round the field for her walk she's been sulking all morning. Not forgetting of course the dog friendly pub at the end of the village, the Church Inn, great ales and great food, maybe large portions but who cares, Fabulous! What a brilliant break! Only one slight negative a shame there wasn't any cleaning products because we do like to make sure we've left the cottages clean when we've stayed there, but a truly fantastic cottage and a lovely couple Carl & Tracey ready to solve any problem should it arise, which it didn't, GREAT!!!

- Mr Lee, September 2018
Mr Paul August 2018

“Only problem and I mean the only problem was the shop was about 5 miles away so you must be organised”

- Mr Paul, August 2018
Mrs Anderson August 2018

“Lovely cottage in beautiful location, nice and quiet but only a short drive from Buxton.”

The cottage had everything we needed and the village had a lovely little pub and lots of local walks.

- Mrs Anderson, August 2018
Mrs Gough August 2018

“We really enjoyed our holiday at this cottage.”

We had lovely weather and were able to explore the area. The cottage was very comfortable and Angus our westie enjoyed the freedom of the secure garden. Across the road was a secure paddock for cottage guests only and this was great for dog walking with wonderful views. On the first evening we were invited to a welcome meeting by the owners which was a good way to find out about the local attractions. We visited the local pub on many evenings where we received a warm welcome. Do be aware that there is no internet provided and the phone signal was virtually non existent although my phone did pick up a signal in the paddock opposite. I would add that the artificial grass and the fact that there were no plants in the garden was a bit of a shame as that was not in keeping with the other gardens in the area, and (as mentioned by other reviewers) the bed is very squeaky indeed, as are the upstairs floorboards. However, we really enjoyed our stay and thought the cottage was in an ideal location, being in a quiet village with very little traffic.

- Mrs Gough, August 2018
Mr Milford June 2018

“Cottage was clean bright and welcoming.”

very good modern appliances and quiet. Absolutely fantastic area to holiday, good road links north, south, east and west. Really beautiful countryside very accessible for walking and mountain biking. I did mark the facilities down to 3 out of 4 as no broadband or mobile phone signal in the village and several places around the area. have relatives live in towns near by and wanted to make arrangements to meet up but had to drive a mile or so for decent phone signal, also doing some family history research but not able to interrogate computer at leisure for information without going to the local pub or going to nearest town. Otherwise had enjoyable break.

- Mr Milford, June 2018
Mr Morphew June 2018

“Our stay at the cottage in June was lovely.”

There was me, my hubby and our dog. The cottage itself was really nice and cosy. Just a few minor niggles... very squeaky bed, Seating in lounge needs to be abit bigger as only a small 2 seater settee in there,, hot water an issue as only enough for 1 bath at the end of the day! garden is a sun trap which is enclosed for the dog. There is a lovely spa bath which was used at the end of every day. The village of Chelmorton is so quiet, there is a great pub at the top which serves great, fresh food (huge portions). There are nice walks for dogs as well. Chelmorton is based between Buxton and Bakewell. Which are both nice towns to visit. There is a Morrison’s supermarket as you get to Buxton which is convenient. We had some lovely walks on the Monsal Trail which goes for miles. The paddock which the owners have made, very secure for walking your dog and it’s cottage residents only with a padlock on the gate. There is so much to do and 1 week is not enough so we will definitely be returning

- Mr Morphew, June 2018
Ms Evans May 2018

“The bed was extremely squeaky and quite irritating.”

- Ms Evans, May 2018
Mrs Devitt April 2018

“The cottage is in a small Derbyshire village with a pub up the hill.”

An ideal base for getting into the Derbyshire Dales.

- Mrs Devitt, April 2018
Mr Mccolgan March 2018

“Excellent location.”

Very easy to travel to Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth etc. Also close to Tissington Trail and Pennine Bridleway for level, easy walking with great views. Pub and Church in the village both worth a visit. Croft was warm and comfortable. Only had one problem while we were there and Tracey sorted it out as soon as I let her know about it. Having the paddock to let our dog run around before going up to the pub was a real plus too.

- Mr Mccolgan, March 2018
Mrs Bardwell-wheat March 2018

“1 Primitive Croft is a one bedroom holiday cottage.”

It was perfect for us and our dog to stay for a couple of days. We had quite a lot of snow during our stay which made the surrounding environment extremely picturesque (and our dog loved playing in the private enclosed meadow!). There were just a couple of 'niggles' that, if addressed, would've made our stay perfect and would encourage us to stay for a longer period. The first, which has been mentioned in previous reviews, is that there is no stand up shower. Currently the shower is located half way up the wall over the bath. Could this be moved further up the wall and a shower curtain installed? The other issue was 'dog' related. The owners hold a meet up on a Friday evening to welcome guests from Primitive Croft and other holiday rentals. They ask that dogs are left in the cottage but not to allow them upstairs. However, there are no doors or means to prevent them roaming where they wish when not supervised. Perhaps a stair gate could be provided? Lastly, it would be very useful if the owners left a 'Visitors book'. We have stayed in numerous rentals and found these to be extremely useful...not only to report little problems that you don't particularly want to write in a formal review but also as a means of recommending to future guests places of interest etc.

- Mrs Bardwell-wheat, March 2018
Mrs Mellor March 2018

“Due to the bad weather we were unable to travel and so did not get to stay at the cottage so cannot comment on any of the above.”

- Mrs Mellor, March 2018
Mr Myatt February 2018

“I thought it was a beautiful little cottage located in the heart of Derbyshire.”

The reception was bad, the long walks were perfect and simply romantic, everything you could expect from a weekend trip in a cottage. The owner was pleasant and approachable. I would not have had a TV upstairs however, the one downstairs was big enough for two rooms! The underfloor heating was also a great highlight, the modernity of the buildings keeping within the aesthetic of the village is quite remarkable. It may have been a peak weekend or with the places just being built, I found it a little bit overpriced. However, with this being said, I would definitely recommend this to family or friends.

- Mr Myatt, February 2018
Mrs Branford January 2018

“I would rebook this cottage based on its location and cleanliness however, I feel that it needs to be made clear that there is no stand up shower facility which is awkward unless you want a bath (which takes a long time to fill).”

Also, the bed is extremely squeaky and woke me up every time I turned over in the night so a new mattress would solve this problem easily. It was great to have the starter food pack and the wood for the wood burner though.

- Mrs Branford, January 2018
Ms Welsby January 2018

“We loved staying at this cottage, very clean, comfortable and well equipped for our needs.”

Lovely location, and drive up with wonderful views. All of the Peak District is close at hand by car. The only downside I would say is that we were not able to adjust heating or hot water. I was going to take a bath on the Saturday evening, however the water was only tepid, (after pressing the boost button on the thermostat and waiting for an hour or so as advised in information pack) and so had to wait till morning. The owners only live a few doors down, however we really didn't want to disturb them late on a snowy evening, and we really didn't want to go out again either)! We did have a lot of snow whilst there, and the thermostat showed the cottage was 17 degrees when we got back from our day out Saturday evening. We Luckily had brought our own logs for the woodburner, as there was only one large log, and very little kindling when we arrived late Friday evening. The other things to note (and this is made very clear on booking). There is no phone signal at the cottage and no internet. To be fair the whole area has intermittent signals and goes with the territory and we were prepared for that. We ventured into the lovely village of Longnor on Sunday morning, and were stranded there due to quite heavy snow for several hours, (again zero phone signal), luckily the cafe was open and we were able to get tea and snacks and wait things out. It was amazing to watch the snowploughs come out on a Sunday and clear the roads. We live in London and don't think the snow clearance would be anywhere near as efficient!! To recap, lovely cottage, modern, cosy, private, perfect for a couple (and our Hound). Would love to see the changes through the seasons, but beautiful covered in snow. Just a few little niggles. Oh yes and for some reason the T.V in the bedroom turned itself on 3 times, first time at about 4am. Not sure if someone had set it up as an alarm, but was a tad annoying being woken up several times in the early hours!!

- Ms Welsby, January 2018
Mrs Gibbs December 2017

“Beautiful cottage only downside , couldn’t get a signal on my I phone .”

I had to stand in the bath change to areoplane mode then switch back and hopefully get 4G and keep still Wi if would be brilliant and sports channels on the tv.

- Mrs Gibbs, December 2017
Mrs Brady November 2017

“The location is ideal for visiting various areas in Derbyshire.”

The cottage was comfortable, cosy and welcoming after long walks in the November weather! Already recommended it to friends and would probably pick this one for any future visits in this area!

- Mrs Brady, November 2017
Mr Willems November 2017

“Zero customer service from Sykes when I asked for help.”

(I did get a response, but this was totally useless). Cottage has very good location in Peak District, everything of interest is within an hours drive (or less). Walking the roads and fields around village was very nice. Best trips: walk to Thor's Cave (Manifold Valley), visit Ashbourne and drive the Snake Pass (near Glossop). Cottage has high quality in certain areas, disapointing in other areas. I expected A+, but can't give more than a C. No proper shower, no underfloor heating in bathroom, windows without curtains, no sidetable with sofa, no Wifi (although perfect Wifi available via BT for extra cost). Good daytime lighting was a plus, but this is also a bad point because there is no nice atmosphere possible with less bright lights. Please place TV further away from couch. Picture quality was very disapointing because of bad signal I guess. Pans and pots need updating, bigger souppan and bigger frying pan would be very nice. No sound insulation to cottage next door, extremely noisy when neighbours are 'at home'. This was unexpected, very annoying and the main reason why i will not book this cottage again.

- Mr Willems, November 2017
Gammon August 2017

“Very comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a beautiful location.”

Ideal for a restful break for the 2 of us and our Sproodle. He loved the garden and the access to the paddock for a good run round. The cottage was much roomier than we had expected for a one bedroomed place and had high quality fittings. We liked the peace and quiet of no phone signal or WiFi.

- Gammon, August 2017
Mrs Burton August 2017

“Lovely cottage done to a very high standard, in a peaceful location fabulous bathroom large TV with many dvds to watch!”

Not far from both bakewell & buxton. Beautiful

- Mrs Burton, August 2017
Mrs Wright July 2017

“On our first evening we were invited by Carl and Tracey to a welcome get together along with the other holiday makers.”

We found this most interesting and informative about the area and local attractions. Chelmorton Village and its habitants are very friendly and helpful with any questions that we put to them. The local pub - Church Inn - do reasonable meals and holds a Pub Quiz and Bingo on a Monday evening. The village of Cheltmorton is ideally situated between Buxton and Bakewell which are easily reached within 15 minutes. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

- Mrs Wright, July 2017
Mrs Blows April 2017

“This is a lovely new cottage for 2 in a friendly village.”

. Very helpful and informative owners. Dog friendly with the bonus of enclosed paddocks for exercising the dog. Welcome pack was much appreciated after our journey. Just a few bits missing ie iron and ironing board, something to hang wet clothes on as a washing machine is provided but no line or airer. Wifi would be good as no tourist info in the cottage so we could not see what is available in the area. Huge tv in the lounge and the bonus of one in the bedroom too. The heating is VERY efficient and the jaccuzi bath lovely to ease sore muscles. Friendly pub at the top of the village serving good food. We were only the second people to rent this cottage and we are sure that when the remaining few bits of work are completed it will be first class. We would definitely recommend this cottage.
