Mrs Ford
December 2020

“The scenery was idyllic, the cottage was wonderful very warm and cosy on December nights, there was even a little Christmas tree and decorations the bathing facilities were wonderful the kitchen was packed with every utensil you would require from beans on toast to Sunday roast.”

We will definitely be visiting again and cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Ms David September 2020

“Secluded rural location with miles of walking from the door.”

Furthermore, a brisk walk for about a mile also finds friendly local pubs and other amenities in the nearby villages. Cottage was beautifully appointed with everything we could need and perfect for coffee on the terrace taking in the views. Wish we could have stayed longer.

- Ms David, September 2020
Mrs Coley September 2020

“Yes! Everything was perfect EXCEPT the sofa!”

Diabolical! One of the MOST uncomfortable we have ever sat on. Ann Coley

Mrs Ramirez August 2020

“I loved the stay, the cottage, the whole experience, what a wonderful place.”

- Mrs Ramirez, August 2020
Mr Olasope July 2020

“The holiday itself was fantastic and the hosts were brilliant.”

Very friendly, responsive and accommodating. The reason for my low score is the email deluge from Skyes cottages. If you limited your emails to those relevant for my holiday, and maybe 1 marketing one weekly, then I'd have scored you a 9 or 10

Mr Warner February 2020

“Great location, really nice little cottage.”

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

- Mr Warner, February 2020
Mrs Mcleod November 2019

“Wonderful location with stunning scenery.”

Good local facilities. Accommodation was first class. Thank you Sykes.

- Mrs Mcleod, November 2019
Mrs Cuthbert October 2019

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

Very warm cottage in an excellent conversion.

- Mrs Cuthbert, October 2019
Mr Kelly October 2019

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

- Mr Kelly, October 2019
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.

- Mrs Whittaker, October 2019
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 Palmer, September 2019
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 Wade, September 2019
Miss Cutmore August 2019

Mr Langham August 2019

“Lovely well presented acomodation.”

Beautiful quiet surroundings. Owners friendly and helpful . First class in every way

- Mr Langham, August 2019
Mr Partington August 2019

“What a beautiful place the peak district is”

- Mr Partington, August 2019
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.

- Mrs Algar, August 2019
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.

- Ms Griffiths, July 2019
Mr Ford June 2019

“Lovely cottage, very well equipped.”

Warm and cosy.

- Mr Ford, June 2019
Mrs Ironside May 2019

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

Great base for exploring the Peak District.

- Mrs Ironside, May 2019
Mcclaughry February 2019

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

- Mcclaughry, February 2019
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 Seabridge, December 2018
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 Diss, October 2018
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 Jesson, August 2018
Mrs Middleton August 2018

“Wonderful break in a fantastic cottage.”

Very comfortable with excellent facilities. Breathtaking scenery. Would definitely return

- Mrs Middleton, August 2018
Mrs Lancaster July 2018

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

- Mrs Lancaster, July 2018
Mr Rand June 2018

“The position and environment were fantastic.”

From a personal view point I think (in a walking environment) a washing machine would have been a more pressing need than a dish washer. We also went out and bought a fan to cool the place, but that was purely due to the fact that it was the hottest fortnight in most people's living memory. But these are very minor issues. We had a wonderful time in a beautiful setting.

- Mr Rand, June 2018
Mrs Page June 2018

“A recently converted cottage with modern decor and excellent facilities.”

- Mrs Page, June 2018
Mr Connolly May 2018

“The owners,Justin and Julie, were very pleasant and welcoming.”

The accommodation was very comfortable, and I really enjoyed my stay! I hope to go back to stay there again in the not too distant future.

- Mr Connolly, May 2018
Mr Newton February 2018

“Our accommodation owners were great, friendly and helpful.”

The accommodation complex they have created is very cosy and comfortable. The location beautiful and we had a layer of snow which set a pretty scene. Loads of walks and bike routes. The local pubs served excellent food and the local village shops have a fair supply of previsions. We may well return to continue walks we did not get time to do. And try some of the bike trails.

- Mr Newton, February 2018
Mrs Robyn October 2017

“Lots of care taken to fit the cottage out - spotlights, well equipped kitchen, biscuits and milk on arrival, lovely!”

- Mrs Robyn, October 2017
Ms Jacobs September 2017

“Excellent cottage in a superb location.”

Plenty to do around and about
