"Previously we had stayed at Hathaway cottage so we knew the location and hosts quite well."
We opted for this cottage because it was larger but had a freezer. It was very comfortable and we had a great week. Everything was clean and well presented.
A couple of slightly negative comments though, all of the cooking knives were pretty blunt, normally we take a sharpener but forgot this time.
There is no phone reception in Edale but we knew this. The cottage has wifi which has good signal strength but is shared between the farm and 4 cottages in a rural area, I think it's worth pointing out that it's pretty poor even for collecting emails. Frequently no response for many minutes. It's a minor gripe and wouldn't affect us going again, just worth pointing out I feel.

It is furnished to a very high standard and we were more than comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful and thank you to them for everything. We are definitely looking to stay here again.

"This was a beautiful cottage with stunning views of the peaks."
The (very friendly) Owner of the cottage met us when we arrived and showed us all we needed to know, and complimentary tea, coffee and milk was left to get us started. The cottage was always warm, the beds were super comfortable and the shower was roomy and hot. I can highly recommend staying here, especially those visiting the peaks for the beautiful walks as it is well placed for Mam Tor, Kinder Scout and the Pennine Way.

"Lovely warm welcome from Sally Gee."
The cottage was cosy, spotless and well organised. All our needs were met, exceeded even. We loved the generous heat, the well organised hallway to dry our wet things, the selection of DVDs, the super comfy beds and pillows and duvets, and the proximity to Edale pubs and cafes. We managed our visit, including days in Manchester, Sheffield, a walk to Castleton and a scramble up in the hills above Edale, all without a car, on Shanks pony or public transport. We'll definitely visit again

"The cottage is very comfortable for a couple who share the front bedroom with the King Sized bed."
There was everything we needed, comfortable sofas, large walk in shower, well equipped and beautiful views.
For a couple we would certainly recommend it.
However, the second bedroom with twin beds, is quite small and has little windows that are so high up that even the tallest person would need to stand on a chair to look out. We could find no way to open them.
We did not need the room to sleep in, but if we had, with the door shut it would feel very claustrophobic.

"I booked through Booking."
Com so there was a general confusion between them, Sykes and the property owner who did not receive the correct information from me, regarding members of my party and our arrival time.
That said, the cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The farm and cottages are in a perfect location for walking and the owners are friendly and helpful. I spent some of the time alone there and felt safe and secure.

"Cottage could not have been more comfortable."
We felt looked after with how much thought went into equipping and preparing the cottage, and then looked after practically with help and advice to get us away through the snow! Weather meant we couldn't really make most of the beautiful location, so caverns were useful trip out, as was the short walk to the pubs in Edale.

"Sally contacted us a few days before our visit to let us know that we'd be staying in the adjacent Meadow View cottage instead, which was an upgrade in terms of space."
So I don't have experience of the Midfeather Cottage, but I am confident that it and the others in this cluster will all be excellent, judging by the standard of Meadow View and the caring and thorough nature of the owners. The cottage was lovely and clean, well-equipped, comfortable and warm. The location is fantastic, we were able to get the train to nearby Edale station and walk (about fifteen minutes) to the cottage, so no need for a car. From there you're basically at the start of the Pennine way and across the valley are several lovely peaks with plenty of walking routes. The views are superb, we'll be hoping to come back.
Only small thing is to note there is a discrepancy between the arrival/check-in time stated on different emails from Sykes. That didn't affect us in the end, but is worth checking if you're on a tight schedule.
