“We had a wonderful time, the cottage was clean & very well kept with all the comforts of home.”

The only slight criticism I would have is that the property would benefit from a king size bed. The double was a little uncomfortable (for me) but certainly not a deal breaker & wouldn't put us off returning :)

“Skylark was literally paradise.”

The location was superb, the cottage was perfect, the welcome was warm and the views were stunning. So good infact we are re booking for next year but this time for 2 weeks!

- Mr Hunter, October 2018
“Lovely clean modern dog friendly cottage with welcoming helpful hosts.”

Nice to have some biscuits and milk on arrival. Quiet idyllic setting. Longnor is a convienient location for walking the peaks/golf courses/mooching round the towns, with nice local pubs. We had a lovely break.

- Miss Russell, October 2018
“A little piece of heaven!”

! Beautiful cottage with a little welcome gift of milk and biscuits. We will be coming back.

- Miss Nicholls, August 2018
“Loved our stay at skylarke would return again found the owners to be very pleasent and very help full”

- Mr Easteal, June 2018
“The directions that we were sent by Sykes actually took us to Church Cottage at Chelmonton,about six miles from Skylark Cottage.”

Fortunately the owner of The Church Inn is also the owner of Skylark Cottage and was able to give us the correct instructions. Everything else about the cottage and the holiday were delightful.

- Mrs Allen, May 2018
“The location was lovely and quiet although only a short walk to a couple of pubs.”

High spec and very clean accommodation. Very pleased

- Mr Heaton, May 2018
“Enjoyed our stay at Skylark.”

Beautiful setting with nice hosts and very convenient for visiting the area. We would certainly recommend it.

- Dr Craig, May 2018
“There are three cottage accommodations at this site all finished and furnished to a very high specification.”

The owners are on site (if required) and there is a very good handbook provided for each premises. Farmhouse property in beautiful surroundings where the major attractions are walking, peace, and the changing landscapes. Second time of visiting and will be going again. Thank you so much.

- Mr Mingay, April 2018
“A lovely holiday cottage which was compact, warm and well equipped & met our requirements perfectly.”

The helpful owners were on site if required but otherwise left us to get on with a memorable walking holiday........oh and no sign of the ferocious collie!! Thank you

- Mrs King, March 2018
“Wonderful accommodation and fabulous owners helped us when the snow conditions were out of control.”

Fabulous place and we would highly recommend :-)

- Mr Goodale, February 2018
“I would like the owner to know we had an incident with one of his employees collie dogs.”

We were getting out of the car with our dog on his lead when our dog was attacked without provocation. These dogs were allowed to roam freely which is a concern if one of them is known to be aggressive towards visiting dogs. This incident did spoil the holiday and would probably deter us from staying there again.

- Mr Anderson, December 2017
“What an amazing, comfortable, clean apartment.”

We immediately felt at home and actually didn't want to leave. Amazing location, beautiful views everything we could have asked for. Lovely local pubs for lunch and dinner, very friendly locals. Couldn't recommend enough and we will be back.

- Mrs Coleman, December 2017
“Beautifully renovated barn apartment.”

Everything we needed. If you want to improve on extremely near perfection then some rugs on the bedroom floor as you get out of bed but I am nit picking! Beautiful location the perfect get away from it all.

- Mrs Kay, September 2017
“A wonderful barn conversion in an idyllic setting!”

- Mr Minett, August 2017
