January 2020

“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.

Ms Campbell October 2019

“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

- Ms Campbell, October 2019
Mr Karczewski May 2019

“We went there for one purpose.”

..hiking. Location wise it was a perfect place. Owners were super helpful and friendly. The actual cottage was spotless and comfortable. I know it sounds like an exaggeration, however from my point of view it really isn’t. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back there again and I’m pretty sure I will.

- Mr Karczewski, May 2019
Mr Kean April 2019

“Excellent accommodation and friendly owners .”

Ideally situated for walking direct from the cottage. Two public houses also in walking distance..Very enjoyable holiday particularly since it was lambing time on the farm and great weather.

- Mr Kean, April 2019
Mrs Shayler April 2019

“The views, to be able to walk out of the door into the hills, how near the train station is to go either to Sheffield or Manchester, decor and furnishings lovely, excellent shower , goose down quilts and how polite and pleasant the owners and daughter was.”

- Mrs Shayler, April 2019
Mrs Elliot February 2019

“Warm and cosy, all mod cons, comfy beds, easy walk to the famous Nag's Head and an ideal base for walks on Kinder Scout, over to Castleton etc.”

Helpful owners, perfect holiday!

- Mrs Elliot, February 2019
Mr Kostka October 2018

“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.

- Mr Kostka, October 2018
Mrs Wiggs October 2018

“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.

- Mrs Wiggs, October 2018
Mrs Hughes September 2018

“This cottage is possibly the best we have ever stayed in, in almost 30 years of self catering cottages.”

As well as items stated in the brochure the owner provided additional items such as all disposable household items e.g. toilet tissue, kitchen paper, tissues, hand wash. In all, a most enjoyable holiday with lovely views across the valley to Mam Tor.

- Mrs Hughes, September 2018
Mr Cowling July 2018

“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.

- Mr Cowling, July 2018
Mr Heaney June 2018

“A lovely cottage with stunning views the owner is on site and very friendly and helpful All the ingredients for a perfect break.”

We would have no reservation about returning Sykes kept us fully informed and even sent a places to see guide SUPERB

- Mr Heaney, June 2018
Ms Greenhalgh March 2018

“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.

- Ms Greenhalgh, March 2018
Dr Maule November 2017

“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.

- Dr Maule, November 2017

“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.

- The_Don_UK, November 2017
Mrs Manners September 2017

“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.

Mrs Lee October 2016

“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.

- Mr Page, March 2016
Mr Payne December 2015

“We all very much enjoyed our visit; the cottage was perfect for us in terms of layout as it lent itself perfectly to cooking and socialising.”

The dishwasher made a massive difference too. The bedrooms were a nice size and very comfortable. The property was surrounded by stunning countryside and the owners were very friendly and available if we needed them. We will definitely go back one day.

- Mr Payne, December 2015
Mr Holloway December 2015

It was also spotlessly clean - highly recommended.

- Mr Holloway, December 2015
Mr Shaw June 2015

“We have been taking cottage holidays for the past 20years and this has to be one of the cleanest and with the highest standard of furnishings that we have been to.”

The property had the wow factor as soon as we opened the front door. The owner was helpful without being intrusive and was there when needed. 10 out of 10.

- Mr Shaw, June 2015
Catman101Essex June 2015

“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

- Catman101Essex, June 2015
Mr Clarke March 2015

“The general location of the cottage is great for walking direct from the door.”

The owner is very friendly and helpful and keeps the cottage in a first rate condition. We have already decided that if possible we will return later in the year.

- Mr Clarke, March 2015

Mrs Lee November 2014

A good base for walking locally and within easy reach of other attractions by short car journeys. Midfeather is a lovely, warm and comfortable cottage to return to during the colder weather. It's a very well equipped cottage run by lovely hosts.

- Miss Brown, June 2014
Mrs Smith May 2014

“Very friendly, helpful owner.”

The property was up a little track, away from it all, just the sound of bleating sheep in the morning, really relaxing.

- Mrs Smith, May 2014

The children loved the feel of being on the farm. We rented both cottages so the whole family could be together; it was brilliant!

A FlipKey verified reviewer May 2013

“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.

- Mrs Farrell, June 2012
Ms James March 2012

“Midfeather Cottage was beautiful, very clean, well equipped, warm with plenty of hot water, a powerful shower, comfortable beds and furniture and all equipment working well.”

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The location is amazing with walking straight from the door, wonderful views and plenty to do and see in the area.

“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!!

- sunworshiper007, September 2011
Miss Langley August 2011

“The barn conversion was very roomy.”

The kitchen within the living room worked very well and the bedrooms had lovely high ceilings. There was washing up liquid, dishwashing tablets, jay cloths and plenty of toilet rolls. The lighting was very good throughout the cottage. Excellent facilities.

- Miss Langley, August 2011
sophiejane83 June 2011

“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.

- sophiejane83, June 2011
Mrs Mellersh May 2011

“Magnificent scenery, cottage situated at end of the road without being too isolated.”

- Mrs Mellersh, May 2011
Mr Loach May 2011

Cottage was just great and the owners were extremely helpful. My youngest loved the lambs and there were marvelous walks. Cycling in Derwent Valley was a great family day out.

- Mr Westbrook, April 2011
A FlipKey verified reviewer February 2011

“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.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, January 2011
Bernie November 2010

“Edale Secret”

A gem of a conversion in a hidden farm. Ideal if, like us, you enjoy walking in the heart of the Peak District. Open country is within a few hundred metres and the village of Edale is a 5 minute stroll. Accomodation iscomfortable and very well equipped. The courtyard location adjacent a working farm adds atmosphere and the occasional farm odour! We loved it.

- Bernie, November 2010

“Quiet family break”

Midfeather Cottage gave us a quiet and comfortable break at the start of the holidays. The cottage itself was very well equipped, fresh and clean. The condition of the furniture, linen and kitchen items were very good.The location was great for us as we had hoped for a relaxing break but ended up doing some walking in the area as it is so lovely.The cottage is near enough to amenities to be able to eat out and shop when needed. The owners were very welcoming, helpful and friendly but did not intrude on your holiday in spite of all the cottages being close to one another and the farm house.

“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.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2009
Miss Ray September 2009

“The cottage was beautiful and the location truly excellent with easy access to Pennine Way and Hope Valley, short drive to Ladybower/Howden Dams.”

There were some lovely touches from the owners (fresh flowers when we arrived, milk and biscuits etc). Being part of a working farm the cottage is in the perfect environment for adults and children alike with sheep/lambs, cows/calves, cats, dog and swallows all resident. We even saw a calf being born. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, will go back and would recommend to friends.

- Ms Harrison, May 2008
Mrs Robinson March 2008

“Excellent property in lovely location, great views and genuine farmyard feel to it.”

- Mrs Robinson, March 2008
Mr & Mrs Sandford February 2008

“The cottage is in the most amazing location.”

You can take walks straight from the front door. Inside the property was, in my opinion, one of the best presented holiday cottages I have ever stayed in. It had a lovely feel to the place that made you feel at home. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet but still wants a good base to tour the Peak District 10/10.

About the location

EDALE

The pretty High Peak village of Edale nestles at the foot of Kinder Scout, within the Peak District National Park. The village has two pubs - both serving food - a village Post Office/general store, a Moorland Visitors Centre and (close by) a railway station. Edale is the start of the famous Pennine Way and all around is excellent walking for all abilities! Nearby is the popular village of Castleton with its Blue John Caves. The spa town of Buxton, with its many amenities, is within easy reach.
