“A lovely cottage in a lovely village.”

The only thing missing was a bed side lamp in the double bedroom. Only one provided instead of two. Otherwise very well equipped.

“Stunning cottage.”

Great Comms with owner. A brilliant time
Mr Burgess December 2019

“A lovely cottage in the heart of the Peak District in a picturesque village.”

Would strongly recommend a stay here
Mr Dawn November 2019

“The property is recently renovated to a high standard, is very comfortable and welcoming.”

The communication with the owner was easy and pleasant. The location is very good, being rural yet within a one minute walk of good restaurant, shop and pub.
Mr Crew October 2019

“This was the perfect location right in the heart of “the peaks” wIth a lovely village atmosphere!”
Mr Hart October 2019

“Wonderful accommodation, beautifully renovated in a tasteful manner.”

Ideally located for a quiet get away. Highly recommend
Mr Fotherby August 2019

“Enjoyed the cottage based in the peake district even the village is a bit remote although close enough to many of the major towns and attractions.”

Cottage was comfotable and generally clean. Liked the separate roomy showers. A few issues with slippery rugs and no hand rail on the stairs. Had a couple of issues with electrical items that were promptly attended to by the owner. Overall an enjoyable stay.
Mr Sully June 2019

“We loved our stay in the Bakehouse.”

A lovely, comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a beautiful area. Would recommend it unreservedly (and Sykes) to anyone.Thank you!!
Mrs Southgate April 2019

“The Bakehouse has been refurbished and finished to a very high standard.”

The beds were the comfiest I have ever used in a holiday let. The bathrooms were lovely. On arrival everything was spotless. Cleaned to perfection. Only a couple of minor quibbles. The cabinets in the bathroom are hung so high that at 5’3”, I could only see the top of my head. Same in the master bedroom, could just about see my eyebrows. It made hair drying next to impossible. If you are unable to lower these then you might want to consider providing a free standing mirror for short people. Also whilst the furnishings are beautiful, the lounge lacks what I would call cosiness. More cushions and a bookcase with some books would make a huge difference. I have never stayed anywhere that didn’t have books and games. We arrived just as storm Hannah was beginning to take hold and actually found the lounge impossible to get warm because of the draughts through the main window and the front door.. I know it’s difficult with listed buildings but surely not impossible. Thank you for leaving the milk and the biscuits, they were much appreciated. The above remarks aren't a moan, just general observation. We enjoyed our stay very much. The Bakehouse is perfectly situated for visiting the region and we found the people of Longnor friendly and helpful. Can thoroughly recommend Cobbles Cafe for breakfast. Lovely friendly people and amazing value.
Mrs Smith April 2019

“The windows were filthy.”

The back door, described in the welcome notes as 'stiff' had a doorknob which was so hard, I could not open it. I had to be let in and out by my husband- I am a very fit 61 year old. Heating control in the sitting room was broken. The boiler was on all night (why?), until I sent a message to the owner asking him to turn it off at night. Very environmentally unfriendly and unnecessary. Only one bedside light in the second bedroom. Shower temperature was ok, but we would have liked it a bit hotter- unable to increase it. Very slippery rug in the second bedroom. Front door needs some draft excluder. Also, I would like to say that if you are going to provide cakes on arrival, provide something nice. The supermarket sponge buns with artificial cream were horrible. Three were thrown away.
Mrs Davis April 2019

“A great base for walkers with lovely hill and lowland trails straight from the door.”

The cottage has character and offers comfortable accommodation. It was ideal for our party of four with two good sized bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. We are twice at the new restaurant at the Merchant house and had excellent meals on both occasions.
Mr Miller December 2018

“Beautiful cottage in the perfect location.”

A great base to explore the Peak District and enjoy what the local village had to offer too. We will most certainly be visiting again! Thank you
Mr & Mrs Townsend November 2018

“The cottage was very well appointed well furnished and very friendly.”

Location was ideal for our needs. I could not fault anything and would recommend this cottage very highly. Will definitely be visiting again.
Mrs Bullock October 2018

“The cottage was spotlessly clean with a distinct touch of luxury.”

We had a very comfortable week there. I would just mention that it would be wise to take a pair of slippers as the beautiful laminate flooring is a little slippery.
Mr Dicker October 2018

“The cottage was very warm and welcoming, we arrived in the middle of storm Callum.”

It has been beautifully renovated and is very comfortable. It’s just a car drive away from many interesting places. We enjoyed visiting the Lyme estate.
Mrs Smith October 2018

“The house and it’s location was charming.”

Key to emphasise is the hospitable nature of the local people. Whilst parking out of season was less problematic, we can imagine that less accessible parking may ensue as further adjacent cottages are developed for holiday accommodation. Overall we rate our experience highly and would without hesitation recommend The Bakehouse.
Mr Wicks September 2018

“The property was very clean, comfortable, warm, well located, with plenty of hot water and as good if not better than the photographs portrayed.”

Would certainly return ourselves and recommend to friends or anyone else wanting to visit the Peak District.
Mrs Curtis July 2018

“The Bakehouse is a delightful cottage in a perfect location.”

Being able to walk to a shop, pub and cafe was most welcome. The area is stunning with fabulous walking and places to visit like the recently refurbished Chatsworth. A lovely surprise to even have a Nespresso machine in the property too!
Mrs Rudling June 2018

“Staying at The Bakehouse was a pleasure from the moment we arrived.”

The cottage has been passionately renovated to a high standard throughout, the location perfect and the small but perfectly positioned courtyard bathed in sunshine from dawn to dusk. A lovely village with ample facilities for it's size. Pubs, coffee shops, local shop and fish and chip shop all worth a visit. The location is ideal for visiting many towns, attractions and walks. We loved it!
Mr Melcherts June 2018

“The pitchen equipment was a bit poor.”
Ms Sheil May 2018

“The cottage was in a picturesque location.”

...the owner was very helpful and advised me re the local pubs. The cottage was beautiful. The furniture was very comfortable and new , the whole place had been decorated and fitted to a high standard. The kitchen was well supplied and everything had been well thought out. Lovely large fridge and a very well considered wine chiller. Upon arrival , we found that there was Tea, Coffee and a supply of other beverages including fresh milk and a cake. A lovely gesture. There was also a good supply of cleaning fluids ( loo rolls ) and cloths so it was easy to leave the place as lovely as you found it. The whole cottage was spotless and the bathrooms were beautifully fitted....all towels available were nice and thick. The beds were very comfortable and the TV was of high quality ( great for the Royal Wedding !! ) The small sitting area at the rear of the cottage was a regular sun spot for the whole day..... My friends and i ate at the ' Cheshire Cheese ' 'pub.....looks a bit rough around the edges when you first go in , but the staff are lovely and friendly and the food was delicious..(pub grub but , i believe , home made..) I holiday regularly in holiday homes and would like to say that this was one of the nicest , i feel that the owners had put an enormous amount of thought into it. Thankyou I would not hesitate to recommend The Bakehouse and the SYKES site Ten out of Ten I hope this is helpful !

“Everything was okay”
Mrs Lee May 2018

“The bake house is finished to a very high stardeard and is a great base to explore such a beautiful area .”

The master bedroom that myself and husband had was very comfortable I slept as well as I do in my own bed . The ensuite is just fabulous with walk in shower and slipper bath ,no,problem in running one bath after the other the hot water is constant , which is great ! Bedroom 2 is finished lovely there is a bathroom which supports bedroom 2 large shower and toilet again beautifully finished .There is a small courtyard out back which would be really lovely if the garden furniture was more comfortable,so you could eat outside on a summers evening . Changing the outdoor furniture would make a big difference ,this is the only fault we could find ,as we are outdoor people and enjoy al fresco dining Jane Lee Telford Shropshire
