“An excellent cottage which had everything you could ask for.”

The hosts were excellent and helpful. The location was excellent for us, quiet and peaceful but also interesting being on a working sheep farm.

“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.

“Great cottage in a perfect location”

We stayed with along with friends who had booked the cottage for a long weekend in which we wanted to do some walking in the peak district and to visit their son who has just moved to Sheffield. Edale is the perfect location for both with Sheffield a 30 minute train journey away and Kinder Scout on your doorstep. The instructions for finding the cottage were completely clear and we found it first time, in the dark. The cottage is very well equipped for self catering, a great size for two couples (two toilets help) and is a 10-15 minute walk from two pubs, the station and the start of the Pennine way. The bedrooms are a decent size, the bedding and towels are of excellent quality and the amount of hot water and power of the shower was first rate. All in all a great cottage, would love to come back again soon - maybe in late spring next time.

“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.

“Lovely cottage and warm welcome”

We've stayed in these cottages for a few years now and have really enjoyed them. This year we stayed in Midfeather Cottage which is well appointed, comfortable and has everything we need. The owners cannot do enough to be helpful. The views are stunning from the cottage and you can do an amazing walk every day from the front door. We have already booked a cottage here for next year.

“The photos didn't lie!”

The cottage was all done to the highest specification; we couldn't fault it. I have already recommended it to friends/family. Edale is only a small village, but it was lovely to be away from the main holiday places. Highly recommended.

“The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped, it is ideally situated for walking , we didn't move the car all week.”

The owners of the cottage are friendly and helpful and we hope to return again next year to explore the area even further.

“Top cottage in an excellent location”

If you are looking for a cottage in the ideal location to explore the peaks this is it, the owner has thought of everything, it was spotless on arrival with good wi fi and it gets 5 stars for the quality of everything in the cottage. We have been having cottage holidays for over 20 years and are quite picky but this is up with the best of them

“Lovely location”

Best location for hiking around Edale, great food in Edale's pub. Accomodation provides everything for cooking your own hot meals after a day long ramble, very pleasant, comfortable. Only downside was the old wooden doors of the rooms that made a lot of noise when opened or shut...if you managed to shut it, that is. But the doors did add to the character of the property.Dont know what the garden is all about...the two square metres paved at the front?or the entire farm which is great

“Brilliant-except for the weather”

Owners very good without being intrusive. Superbly converted cottage on a working farm. Very well equipped and in an excellent location. Within 10 minutes walk to the village pub and shop. There was nothing to dislike - only the weather during the week we were there! We certainly recommend Midfeather Cottage, and look forward to staying there again.

“escape to the country”

Me, my husband and my parents have just arrived home from our one week stay at Midfeather. Well what can i say, most definately one of the best holidays we ever had.The cottage itself is beautiful and finished to an extremely high standard and was equiped with everything you could possibly need. Its also spotlessly clean and very cosy (just perfect for relaxing after a long day hiking up the dales!) Just a short and very pleasant walk through the fields is the lovely country pub The Nags Head. Just remember to take a good torch for the walk home through the fields, as its pitch black! Owners are very lovely and helpful. All in all, fab location and accomodation. Cant wait to return next year as we are already missing waking up to nothing more than the sound of the odd sheep talking!!

“Fantastic location”

We recently stayed in the cottage for three nights and were delighted by the location, cleanliness and facilities. The kitchen facilities and utensils were excellent and included everything we could have possibly needed. The cottage was very clean and tidy and the games and wifi were a lovely touch and not expected. The only downside is that the second, smaller bedroom is a little compact and may not be suitable for very young children or an adult couple. There is rather a lot of furniture in the room which makes it a little cramped and that meant I had to put my suitcase in the hall unless I wanted to unpack (although as I was there for such a short time I didn't really see the point!) As there is a lot of storage in other parts of the property I would recommend taking out some of the additional chest of drawers to make the room more spacious. The real selling point of this property is the location. Edale is a beautiful village and the cottage is just far enough away to feel remote. We did some fantastic walks straight from the cottage and then came home to a really comfortable bed. Would def return.

“Stunning location and comfortable accommodation”

We experienced a most relaxing week in stunning surroundings. The owners were most helpful and accommodating. They were also most reassuring when faced with our vehicle being snowed in for 5 days and arranged for local farming friends to plough an escape route. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

“Stunning cottage in a beautiful location”

The cottage was beautifully fitted out, in a modern style but conserving all the original barn features. The location and views were stunning, we had easy access to plenty of footpaths and local towns. The service was friendly but discreet. This cottage worked out great for our long weekend with small children, there were some nice touches, including childrens games and provision of essential items such as soap and kitchen items.

“Beautiful Area”

We spent a week in this beautiful Hamlet in Edale. The walks,scenery and wider area were all stunning. the property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The famouse pub at the start of the Penine way is only a 10 minute walk away across fields. If you wanted to visit Sheffield or Manchester,the there is a mainline station within walking distance. I would have no hesitation in booking this property again and recommending it to couples and families.
