• "Jon & Ann March 2024 Lovely cottage, comfortable & cosy, nice quiet location, just what we wanted."

  Lovely kitchen & modern appliances, comfortable beds and downstairs furniture plus a welcome pack which was a nice touch from the owners. As we didn’t experience any problems we didn’t have much contact with them but they were easy to contact on the one occasion we did. Little village blessed with two pubs, The Druid Inn & The Lion, the latter is currently only open Fri, Sat & Sun, & both sell some really good draught beers and IPA’s, so did need to sample them “occasionally”. Only ate at The Druid & have to say the food is absolutely great. Very friendly people both staff & patrons at both pubs which all helped to give the holiday the right buzz. Buses into Bakewell & Matlock which stop almost outside the cottage. We also caught the bus into Bakewell & from there another in to Buxton, gives you plenty of time to wander around & better than using the car as don’t need to worry about parking. We left some bus timetables behind. A visit to Crich Tram Village will pass a good deal of one day & The Great British Motor Museum, is either a morning or afternoon’s outing, and both have loads of parking. We did the cars in the morning and drove to Matlock Bath for the afternoon, which is also a great place on a Sunday to see all the motorcycles, be warned though, you won’t find any parking on Sunday in Matlock Bath.

• "Lion Cottage is comfortable and very well equipped."

  The owner contacted us at the start of our stay just to make sure that everything was OK (it was!). There are numerous walks in the local area, many straight from the door so we could leave the car behind. My sons and I had a lovely relaxing few days here.

• "We had a very comfortable few days at Lion Cottage."

  We appreciated coming into the warm cottage late afternoon on a chilly day in early May, as well as the extras provided - including milk, biscuits and tea (which we’d forgotten). It was well equipped. We only used the double bedroom but the bed was very comfortable with a cosy duvet. Lion Cottage is in a very quiet hamlet/village, in the beautiful rolling countryside of the Peak District with easy street parking ; and whilst we didn’t use the two pubs, they would have been very useful had we stayed longer. We appreciated the leaflets of things to do in the area and can recommend the Cascades Japanese Garden and the National Tramways Museum both within easy distance. A delightful few days.

• "The cottage was perfect for us, much bigger than we had thought it would be and very clean."

  We had a great time. Excellent location for exploring the peaks and amazing walks straight from the cottage. Loved the Red Lion pub next door.

• "When we arrived at the cottage it was bitter cold as there was no heating on, it was most unwelcoming!"

  We contacted the owners to tell them and she apologized and said that it should have been on and went on to say that it was a new Hive system. She spoke to my partner and told him to see if he could adjust the Hive stat to get it to come on. We later discovered the boiler was programmed for the heating to go on from 6.30 to 8.30am and then from 4.30 to 22.00pm leaving us without heating most of the day. Due to the fact it was so cold and uncomfortable we cut our holiday short. On our return we contacted Sykes to complain and were told the fault lay with us as we had tampered with the system. We were offered £20 as a goodwill gesture which we flatly refused. We felt this was an insult!

• "Probably one of the nicest holiday cottages we’ve stayed in over the years of holidaying in the Peak District."

  It had everything we needed - and 2 bathrooms was a bonus! We hardly used the car as there were plenty of walks from the door. Being within walking distance of two good pubs providing tasty meals was also a boon. Parking was on the road but was never a problem.

  Felt like being at home. Location very good for visiting various parts of the Peak’s. Pub next door and one 100 yards down the road

• "A really pleasant cottage to stay in."

  We had two granddaughters who enjoyed the playground in the village. Excellent village shop in Winster saves trips to Bakewell or Matlock.
