  Clean and tidy, well equipped, well furnished. Decor and furniture all above standard. Great location. Owners very friendly and hospitable. Would highly recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to use again if travelling to this area.

• "Beautiful cottage which was clean and had all the necessary amenities."

  Set lovely within the property, it’s quiet but also a lovely environment for our kids to play in the garden. My youngest adored seeing the animals and my eldest got to play football outside. The rooms were comfortable, the fleece blankets in the lounge welcomed for watching a movie. Arrived to milk and cookies and we ordered a food delivery which was on time and so convenient after a long drive. Beautiful surroundings and a great location about 20 minutes from everywhere. We had a lovely stay. Thank you

• "This was a really comfortable cottage in a gorgeous setting."

  Although it is in a farmyard with other properties, it is tucked away so feels private too, but with help on hand if needed. If you love walking, this is ideal as you can walk from the house or drive a short distance for other great walks. There is also lots to see nearby, such as Haddon Hall, and country pubs galore. If you love animals the property has free ranging chickens, and alpacas and horses in the fields plus sheep and cows everywhere you go. We really appreciated the EV charger being part of the facilities which was a reason we chose it. We had a lovely week there and would happily rebook it.

  Thank you for your lovely comments. We hope you’ll consider us again. Property Owner

• "Beautiful accommodation in a quiet location."

  It is decorated to a good standard and well maintained. It is well equipped and had everything we needed. The only thing which let it down was the double bed as it was very squeaky and kept us awake during the night. My partner ended up having to sleep downstairs on the sofa.

  So sorry for the squeaky bed my husband will resolve this straight away. Thank you for the feedback Zoe and Steve Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our holiday at Dale End Farm Cottage."

  It was set in a quiet and peaceful setting, but convenient for travelling to several places in beautiful Derbyshire. Wifi was appreciated as mobile phone reception was poor due to rural location. Owner was exceedingly helpful. Would happily recommend it as a good and reasonably priced place to stay.

• "This is an amazing little cottage , is attached to the owners house and there are two other properties on the farm but there was a lovely garden to sit in and Steve and Lucy the owners were available if you needed anything, we didn’t but they checked we were ok and had settled in ."

  The cottage is immaculately decorated inside and the sting room had the most amazingly comfortable sofa ever sat on . Kitchen well equipped and smart tv . We didn’t have to use the log burner but looks amazing . The cottage is away from the bustle of a town there is a pub within walking distance , in the nearest village but can’t remember the last time was able to sit out in a garden and just listen to birds without any road noise . This cottage is a gem and plenty of parking and also EV charging point and is only 6 miles from Matlock so I’m a very central location

• "We enjoyed a lovely week staying in the cottage which is very peaceful and has been renovated to a high standard."

  The downstairs is very compact, with limited storage, but very comfortable and cosy. Lovely little garden but worth noting that it is not private as the trampoline and swings are available to the other two properties on the farm. The owners were very friendly and happy to offer recommendations in the local area. Thank you.

• "We had such a lovely holiday at Dale End Farm."

  The location is beautiful and a real retreat away from normal busy life. Surrounding by lovely scenery and great walks. The owners were really kind, helpful but not intrusive. Our little one loved the big trampoline and alpacas who are really friendly. The cottage itself is so well equipped and done to a very high standard. Nice comfortable beds, hot shower and good WiFi/TV. Would highly recommend and we would love to go back!

• "Lovely cottage beautifully decorated."

  We were 2 adults and 2 children aged 6 and 8. My girls loved seeing the animals on the farm especially the ponies and made use of the trampoline, swing and slide. It was in a good location to be able to explore the Peak District. We were grateful that Zoe had advised us to take an easier route to and from Dale End Farm which was left out of the farm and used that route as appose to the one my sat nav was directing us to. My sister and I enjoyed how quiet and peaceful the farm was and the views are lovely.

• "What a brilliant little cottage, stayed for 5 days with the granddaughter on half term."

  Close to lots of attractions, but far enough away to be nice and quite. Well maintained and very nicely furnished. Better than the pictures, exceeded our expectations. Looking to book again.

• "The cottage is in a lovely location with great walks, access to Bakewell and Chatsworth and looking out over a field with alpacas."

  The cottage has been well refurbished and is very modern inside. Note that it does not have a washing machine and there did not seem to be any instructions for the property (we did find details online but mobile reception was unreliable). The cottage was very cosy (although the heating did not seem easy to control) and we had a lovely time exploring the local area.

  Hi Lisa Sorry I’ve only just seen your review. First of all thank you for taking the time. Apologises for the small sink we thought it was better than walking around something. We have amended the listing now to say there is no washing machine. We stopped printing the literature due to COVID and it’s on the website however I might print again now you’ve mentioned it. Best wishes Zoe and Steve Property Owner

• "Brilliant cottage, which we will happily return to!"

  The cottage was really lovely and cozy and was a real home from home. Would -and will!- recommend to all our friends and relatives. Only (minor) issue was the lack of any literature about the house, so we had no idea how to use the hob, what to do with rubbish and laundry and what the WiFi password was? Could be that a previous guest has taken the information book home with them by mistake?

  Thank you so much for staying with us sorry the handbook has gone. We have one on line on the website now Property Owner

• "We've just enjoyed a wonderfully peaceful and relaxing few days in this delightful cottage."

  It's set in exceptionally quiet and beautiful countryside with glorious sights such as Chatsworth (where we picnic-ed by the stream under one of the magnificent 100 year old trees), Haddon Hall and the stunning Dales are all within easy reach. The summer evenings were perfect for picking up the easy walking trail that meandered pleasantly through wild flowers and grasses near the cottage, then relaxing in the garden afterwards.The fresh air invigorated my 97 year old mum so much that she played with her adult grand-daughter on the children's garden swing and scooter there on the final day ( resisting the temptation to try out the large trampoline as well)!The three of us came home feeling very refreshed. The cottage was high on quality. It had a comfy sofa and beds to hunker down in at night; a compact but efficient kitchen area with an easy to operate, modern induction hob/oven and microwave and a gorgeous shower room/loo upstairs. The attractive lawned garden with cherry tree, herbaceous border and side hedge (with sparrows) at the front of the cottage provided a very pleasant outdoor space for us to enjoy every day.(The garden at the back of the cottage belongs to the owners but was never in use during our stay). Our warm and welcoming hosts, owners Steve and Zoe, who live in the adjacent farmhouse, were very relaxed, friendly and attentive without being remotely intrusive. They are happy for guests to park conveniently outside the cottage on arrival. We would heartily recommend this cottage, especially when evenings are long as the outdoors can bring even greater enjoyment.

  Thank you for such a lovely review it was such a pleasure to meet you. Best wishes Property Owner

• "Lovely clean accommodation a bit futher out than i thought but not a problem when we got use to roads."

  Was advertised having washing machine (one thing we needed) but there wasn't one owner did offer to do some washing but we managed. Also a hand rail is needed on stairs especially for the elderly and infirm. Discussed this with owner and he agreed to solve this problem. We enjoyed our week despite above.

  Thank you for staying with us we are working on getting the hand rail installed. We have told Sykes to remove the washing machine from the listing although we are happy to wash anything as required. Best wishes Zoe and Steve Property Owner

  My only negative comment was the lack of bin info on site. There didn't appear to be anywhere to leave recycling and we didn't want to leave it outside for the local wildlife. Otherwise, superb.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback we will resolve the recycling bin issue. You are our first guests in the cottage so we are thrilled you like it. Best wishes Zoe and Steve Property Owner
