“Great location, really nice little cottage.”

Only downside was the weather but not something you can control, unfortunately.

“Wonderful location with stunning scenery.”

Good local facilities. Accommodation was first class. Thank you Sykes.
Mrs Cuthbert October 2019

“Lovely scenery, near to village for supplies or eating out.”

Very warm cottage in an excellent conversion.
Mr Kelly October 2019

“Had a good time at cottage , everything was provided apart from the weather !”
Mrs Whittaker October 2019

“We had a really lovely stay however, as we were staying next to the family home, it would have been nice for the owners to have popped their head in on our arrival day to say hello.”

We also had to hoover the sofa and foot stool as it had dog hair on it presumably from the previous guests, hence the slight deduction on cleanliness score. The rest of the cottage was immaculate. This is really picky feedback and it didn't stop us having a lovely relaxing stay. The cottage was beautiful and had all the amenities we could have needed. The biscuits and milk on arrival was a lovely touch.
Mr Palmer September 2019

“The cottage was very nice and cosy.”

The furniture was comfortable and the owners were friendly. The cottage was easy to find and the local pub was very tourist-friendly. The only thing to be aware of is that the underfloor heating is a little too efficient and takes a long time to cool down. We spent one night with all the windows and door open trying to get cool air in. It's a shame that there isn't a washing machine but there isn't room for one.
Mr Wade September 2019

“Lovely location, well placed to explore the 'White Peak' area.”

Longnor has small general store, post office, pubs, fish & chips, several cafe's for food/snacks/cakes -sitting in/out.
Mr Partington August 2019

“What a beautiful place the peak district is”
Mrs Algar August 2019

“The accommodation was exactly as described, a beautiful comfortable property, beautifully renovated barn with quality and care to high standards.”

Spotlessly clean and furnished. Set in beautiful surroundings with walks ,especially good for dogs. Some quality pubs nearby. A village shop within a mile. Definitely recommend without hesitation.
Mr Langham August 2019

“Lovely well presented acomodation.”

Beautiful quiet surroundings. Owners friendly and helpful . First class in every way
Miss Cutmore August 2019

“Lovely cottage,venue & good local facilities.”

Would definitely revisit
Ms Griffiths July 2019

“The cottage was beautiful, well equipped and cosy.”

Great location, very peaceful but near to everything too with a car. If you want views book Lapwing or Larkspur as they have views from the windows. Curlew doesn’t really but it’s still a lovely place to stay.
Mr Ford June 2019

“Lovely cottage, very well equipped.”

Warm and cosy.
Mrs Ironside May 2019

“Loved the terrace and the views across the valley!”

Great base for exploring the Peak District.
Mcclaughry February 2019

“Lovely cottage, very cosy, no views from cottage itself but fabulous area and great walking from the front door.”
Mrs Seabridge December 2018

“Superb cottage in a delightful, tranquil position.”

Very comfortable, immaculately clean and well equipped. We had a totally relaxing and idyllic week. Pet friendly too, which is a bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Curlew Cottage again.
Mrs Diss October 2018

“We had a wonderful holiday and the cottage was really lovely inside.”

However, one comment I would make is that in the Sykes description ' all of the apartments also come with incredible views of the Peak District' this is just not the case at all with Curlew cottage. Curlew is on the ground floor, which we knew, but there is no view at all from either of the three windows. Two windows (lounge and bedroom) look out onto an old breeze block barn blocking any view, and one window (from the kitchen) looks out directly onto a two storey brick wall of part of the owner's house, blocking any view so that was very disappointing. This is not a criticism of the owners at all, but the description by Sykes for Curlew does need to be changed - or re-worded as it is mis-leading. I don't need this feedback published, but I would appreciate an email back to me at Corinne.diss@btinternet.com Kind regards.
Mrs Jesson August 2018

“We were more than happy with Curlew at Upper Whittle Farm.”

Very comfortable, in a beautiful location. Just one little comment would be, a washing machine instead of a dish washer would have been more useful, otherwise perfect!
Mrs Middleton August 2018

“Wonderful break in a fantastic cottage.”

Very comfortable with excellent facilities. Breathtaking scenery. Would definitely return
Mrs Lancaster July 2018

“Great location for walking, really lovely little cottage in a pretty setting.”
