Old Farm House

A lovely cottage, annexe to the owners house, in Rowsley, near Bakewell and Matlock.

Thanks to Josephine & Howard for the warm welcome and a perfect stay in your delightful cottage. Lots of villages and locations to explore. Chatsworth House is certainly worth a visit!! This cottage is a perfect base to explore the Peak district.

A credit to Josie & Howard , thank you for the warm welcome, very nice cottage , we would highly recommend this property, we both had an enjoyable stay , good location.

Very pleased with the accomodation.

Helpful owner. Fortunate to have such a great location. Thank you

We had a great weekend here.

Lovely, clean accommodation. We’ll be sure to come back!

A lovely comfortable cottage well equipped in beautiful surroundings.

The owners are a warm and friendly couple who gave us plenty of information about walks around Rowsley and information about the village and its amenities . Well placed for towns and villages in the surrounding area . All in all we had a lovely relaxing week and would not hesitate to book again .

It is a delightful property, with good privacy.

Well equipped and easy to use appliances. The owner was delightful and couldn't have been more helpful. There was a nice, homely feel to it. Well situated to visit nearby places and we could walk in the countryside straight from the house. There is a lovely shaded walk along the River Derwent towards Rowsley South and beyond.

Very comfortable property had everything we needed.

Owner was very helpful. Made us feel very welcome.

Lovely property.

Owners made us feel very welcome. Great location for exploring the Peaks.

Thank you Josephine and Howard for a wonderful holiday in your delightful cottage.

It was situated in a stunning area which gave us easy access to Bakewell, Buxton, Chatsworth House and Matlock to name a few places we visited. Your cottage was very tastefully decorated with everything we needed. The bedroom very comfortable and we enjoyed the view of the sheep and hens in the morning in the opposite field. Fantastic hot shower in the en-suite. We recommend this cottage and certainly would love to visit again. Thanks for the flowers too. Sally and Mike.

A lovely, comfortable, well equipped, quiet cottage.

Centrally positioned for visiting Bakewell, Matlock, Buxton and Chatsworth. Perfect.

My second visit and I would definitely recommend.

A beautiful setting for this very clean, well equipped cottage.

Delightful property with plentiful walks from the door!

Just as we like and we would definitely return as poor weather limited our opportunities but having said that we had a relaxing and comfortable stay

Absolutely brilliant cottage.

Exceptional clean, comfortable, with more than required as far as equipment is concerned. Fantastic location which enabled us to visit Derbyshire - Chatsworth 2.5 miles: Bakewell 3 miles : Matlock 3.5miles and it was in walking distance of Rowsley itself. Josephine was extremely welcoming and very helpful. Would more than recommend this cottage.

We had an amazing time at Old Farm House; really comfortable, spacious.

.with everything we needed. The owners were fabulous and so friendly and helpful. Their help was greatly appreciated when we were trying to get there during the flooding. I don't think we'd have made it without their help. Fabulous time!

Peak District Holiday Enjoyed reacquainting ourselves with the area.

Accommodation was clean, comfortable and the owners were friendly. Off road parking was spacious. Great weather was an added bonus.

We had a fantastic week at this property.

It was cosy and clean and had everything you need for a holiday. The owners were helpful and friendly and we felt very welcome.

Very high quality appliances, heating efficient and adjustable, bed and bed linen very comfortable…a highly recommended property and a very helpful host.

We’d love to return, our mobility permitting!

A lovely well cared for cottage, very warm and cosy.

Near lots of nice places to visit. Very peaceful with lovely views.Had everything we needed.owners very friendly and helpful. Would be happy to return and recommend

Really enjoyable stay, in a perfectly located property.

The accommodation is well equipped and worked well for our family of 4. The owners were a pleasure to speak with, and helpful. The cottage is across the road from Peak Village which has a good restaurant and an amazing ice cream shop. Various pubs within a short walk. Chatsworth and Bakewell are only a couple of miles from the cottage, and as a base for exploring Derbyshire and the Peaks, it’s great.

A very clean and well presented cottage with everything we needed for our long weekend.

Really enjoyed our stay and would thoroughly recommend

We loved this property - it was very comfortable, clean and bright with a well equipped kitchen and the lovely owner was just next door.

We found it ideally situated for a number of attractions with Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Bakewell just a few miles away. The sheep and chickens in the paddock were a bonus and we would highly recommend it.

The property was exactly as described in an excellent location.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would certainly stay there again on a future occasion.

we enjoyed our stay at the old farmhouse it is in a beautiful spot.

The property had everything we required to ensure we had a very pleasant stay. The owners went out of there way to ensure our comfort during our stay

Great location, extremely clean and very friendly hosts.

We had an amazing stay and would have no reservations recommending this property to anyone else.

We had such a lovely stay!

It was very clean and had such a beautiful garden. The owners are absolutely lovely and very friendly. The location is ideal.

Josephine was a lovely land lady, she could not help us more than she did, full of information and easy going, apartment was well equipped, lovely peacefull area with nice walks,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US SUCH A LOVELY STAY You could not have tried harder!

Very happy with the cottage, hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Walking distance to Peak Village and 2 pubs, and short drive to Chatsworth, Bakewell and Matlock.

Lovely cottage very clean and well presented.

Perfectly located for exploring Derbyshire.

Old Farm House is an absolute delight, nestled in some truly stunning countryside with all the facilities you’d expect to make your stay comfortable.

The hosts couldn’t do enough to help, even bringing over fresh eggs for us! No question or request was too small and they happily shared their beautiful garden with us (an extra space alongside the private garden of the cottage). I would absolutely recommend and will definitely be returning - the location was perfect and within easy reach of most of the main attractions, but felt peaceful enough that you felt you’ve had a break from busy city life. Thanks again!

We phoned the owner two days before our arrival, as requested.

The key was supposed to be in the lock but it wasn't and nobody was around. We finally called the office after trying the owners' mobile and landline numbers several times. We were disappointed with the bathrooms - the ensuite shower was full of mould and we could not bring ourselves to use it. The downstairs bathroom was cold and the water would not run away easily in the washbasin. Finally, we were at the property during the lockdown week and thought that we had to vacate the property before the beginning of lockdown. It would have been nice if Sykes had sent us an email making us aware that we were allowed to stay to the end of our holiday. The owner didn't mention this either and we lost two days of our holiday. All in all, we found the property and the service from Sykes to be somewhat lacking.

We had a lovely stay at Old Farm House at the end of August.

The cottage was really clean, well equipped, cosy and quiet. The owners were very welcoming and it was clear they had gone to a lot of effort to make us feel safe and comfortable in the current climate. Having plenty of hand wash and toilet rolls to keep us going was also an unexpected and nice surprise! Our children had a great time on the trampoline and enjoyed seeing the roaming chickens and feeding the resident sheep! The only issue for me was that the double bed was a little on the hard side, but that’s a minor niggle. We had to use the car more than if we’d been in a town, since the cottage was between Matlock and Bakewell, but it didn’t put us off. It was a great base to travel to all areas of the Peak District and we’d definitely consider booking again. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

Clean, well equipped, comfortable cottage with welcoming and helpful hosts!

Thanks for a lovely stay!

Owners were pleasant and friendly.

Accommodation was VG - clean and quiet with good parking space. Location was excellent for touring the Peak District.

The Old Farmhouse Cottage is convenient to shopping, dining, and Peak District attractions, yet serves as a secluded retreat away from it all.

Located in the picturesque village of Rowsley, we found there were great local eateries and sights to enjoy within walking distance of our lodgings. Gracious hosts were very accommodating and went out of their way to insure we had everything we needed during our stay. We definitely recommend booking with the Old Farm House cottages and would stay there again!

Cottage was in an excellent position for us to see the local sites.

Both Matlock and Bakewell were within walking distance.

The owners were welcoming and helpful.

The holiday property is self-contained and private in a quiet and peaceful location but easily accessible from the road through Rowsley and on to Chatsworth House and Park. Well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable.

Great cottage,great location,great hosts,will be going back.

Fantastic location for the best that the Peak District offers.

We will be returning again!

A very beautiful little cottage in a lovely location.

Josephine and Howard are very warm and kind hosts. Highly recommended.

Lovely, cosy, clean & well equipped cottage.

Located close to lots of lovely pubs. Chatsworth estate close by as is town of Bakewell. Owner very helpful.

We had a most enjoyable week ;the were facilities were very good ,the owners very friendly and helpful .

A perfect spot to access all the walks in the area. A very comfortable stay, .

This was Familly Dibsdales first visit to the Peal District and we were lucky to find the perfect accommodation.

On arrival we were met by the owners whom told us all we needed to enjoy our visit. We simply could not fault the location as we had initially booked with the intention of visiting the Chatsworth show. Locally there were some excellent circle walks with absolutely stunning views and amazing countryside. Visits to Bakewell, Matlock and Chatworth House were much enjoyed . We send our warmest thanks to the owners and look forward to further visits in the future. Simply 10 out of 10!

Owner was extremely helpful, Cottage was very well equipped, we had a very enjoyable week.

Everything was perfect.

The house was clean cosy and comfy with a nice kitchen and bathrooms. It was so handy being able to walk to the bar/restaurant and shopping village which even had an indoor soft play for the kids.. There was much more to do in the area than we had imagined and couldn't fit in all the local attractions in just one week. I couldn't fault anything with this holiday. The owners were lovely and if we visit the area again I would re-book this house.

Very friendly and courteous family, quiet location nestled away on the border of the Peak District.

A lovely find for our short break visiting Chatsworth.

Very comfortable, warm and relaxing with all the thoughtful extras that make a stay great. The hosts were very nice and on arrival we enjoyed the tour of the cottage provided by the daughter. Directions provided were excellent and we appreciated the prompt replies to questions. Hope to return when next planning another visit to the area.
