"Lovely cosy cottage in a great location for walks, caverns, and pubs."
The cottage was cleaned to a good standard and well equipped. Parking is a 2 minute walk from the property, permit is provided. Stairs are on the steep side which could be a problem for those with mobility issues or carrying a heavy bag/case upstairs. Only comment would be there is no freezer or freezer compartment, and due to this we lost some food that we had taken up. I would recommend this cottage.

"Poor choice of glasses and kitchen facilities."
No small vegetable knife or seive. Skirting boards very dusty. Lots of cobwebs. Very comfortable

An added bonus would have been a small freezer compartment for cool box ice blocks and frozen food.

"This is a pretty and nicely furnished cottage in a great location in a lovely village in a spectacular setting."
Parking (which can be an issue in Castleton) is conveniently nearby and within easy walking distance, as are all the local facilities, meaning many pubs, cafes, souvenir shops and even a couple of shops selling useful things, as well as several great walks and the famous show caves. Great for a couple and their dog for a week away.

"We stayed at High View for new year."
The cottage was clean and as described. Although no parking outside we were able to drop off and the car park is a 2 minute walk. The location is very pretty and perfect for walks around Castleton and surrounding area. It is a short walk into the village where there are shops, pubs, restaurants, post office and chip shop.
The cottage is cute and tiny but well equipped. However the stairs are very steep and would present a problem for anyone with mobility issues.
We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage.

"A very lovely, cosy and tidy place - perfect for a couple and a small dog to spend time there."
We really enjoyed staying at the cottage over Christmas.
The cottage is near Peak Cavern in the lovely town of Castleton, away from the crowds and only a few minutes walk from the main streets, yet near some wonderful walks. Upon arrival, we found the cottage to be very clean, warm and as described in the listing. It was very quiet throughout the week and we slept well.
I would thoroughly recommend this cottage!

More pillows required for the bed
fuel for log burner would be helpful
on the upside:
the problem with the boiler was rectified very quickly
Thank you for your feedback. 4 pillows are typically provided for 2 guests. A supply of firelighters and fuel for the log burner is provided only for the first fire and we do advise all our guests where extra supplies can be sourced. Thank you once again for your feedback. Property Owner

"We had a lovely relaxing stay at the cottage."
It had everything we needed for us and our two dogs. It was cosy welcoming and we had a relaxing break. Castleton is picture perfect with lots to do in the area and such a lovely place to come back to at the end of each day. We are looking forward already to going back to High View again as soon as we can and would’ve hesitate to recommend it to others.

"We had a wonderful long weekend at High View, the cottage was absolutely perfect, the attention to detail surpassed expectations as we had everything we needed and more - the boot driers are genius."
Clem our dog was included as there were dog bowls and even a tin of treats. Amazing walk on Saturday, called in several of the local hostelries during our time there not least because on Sunday we were hit by storm Ciara, the snug little cottage meant that we were hardly aware of it. Loved it. Thank you.

"Yes, the cottage and location was great, I think the description of the garden needs to be clearer that in fact there is no garden only a seated area across the small road."
This is important if you are coming with dogs as you cant just let them out. That said its lovely this cottage takes dogs. The other bug bare I have which really takes the shine off the cottage experience and it seems to now be a regular feature of Sykes cottages is advertising a log fire and not providing the fuel for it! Its an absolute pain, especially with cottages like these where there is no parking, to have to go and buy and lug your logs, kindling and firelighters up the road, especially if you are on your own as I was. If you are on a short break the last thing you want to do is trawl the local shops and spend an hour locating buying and carrying your logs for your log fire. I personally think its cheap and doesn't reflect well on the experience. The cost is minimal and I don't mind paying for over usage so my suggestion is either charge extra for it (its about £10 for 2 days worth) but at least supply a reasonable amount (more than 2 hours worth which is what we got here) for a 2-3 short day stay.

The only problem we had was with trying to keep the cottage clean and dry during the torrential wet weather we experienced during our stay.. We found it difficult to come back to the cottage to dry our wet things off with there being very little facilities/area to accommodate wet clothes and a dog.

"With very little effort on the owners part to provide a few simply things l would have scored facilities higher."
We arrived to find that no kindling, logs or matches were provided to light an initial fire, there were no placemats and we had to improvise using newspaper to protect the surface of the table. The cottage information book states that when cleaning the ceramic hob to use a ceramic cleaner none of which was provided. A CD player and a selection of music would also be nice or even a simply radio.
