“Perfect”

Beautiful cottage to celebrate my 70th birthday with family and friends. Excellent facilities, immaculate inside and out. Made great use of the hot tub as the weather was perfect. Handy location for walking - Underbank Reservoir - Mam Tor and good food at the Olde Mustard Pot and Old Hall Tearoom.

“Our trip was not a holiday, but a retreat of a working group when we combined hiking with work activities.”

The cottage was perfect for the size of our group (14) and we were able to arrange sharing of bedrooms without any conflicts. There is a lot of space in the cottage and the huge kitchen with everything available was perfect, as the group did a lot of cooking, compensating for the horrible rainy weather. We also appreciated the large TV screen in the sitting area, which allowed us to do our work there. As the cottage is so perfectly organised for such size groups, we are thinking that we may repeat next year. There are a lot of rules, but I found them useful to educate people into good behaviour. If I am pressed to find any critical areas: one bathroom run out of toilet paper on the 3rd day, so perhaps having accessible stock somewhere would be useful - we did not want to bother owners asking for this; we did not know how to turn down the heating - underfloor heating is great, but it was too warm in the bedrooms and it is not possible to open windows as some are then just next to beds and one would get ill easily.

- Prof Lapkin, September 2019

Thank you very much for your feedback. We really appreciate your thoughts. We are glad to hear you had a enjoyable stay and it worked well for your work retreat. We apologise that you ran out of toilet roll on the 3rd day. As the cottage is a self catering cottage we leave one full toilet roll in each of the 7 en-suite bedrooms and then 3 full rolls in the downstairs communal toilet. We also apologise that you where unable to work out how to use the heating. In each room there is thermostatic dial which allows you to control the room temperature as it suits you.

“This is a fantastic property which has everything you need for a relaxing stay - definitely 5* luxury and all the mod cons for a large group.”

We were blessed with fantastic weather for our weekend celebrating a friend's special birthday so made good use of the patio and hot tub. There was plenty of fridge space to chill down the prosecco! The kitchen was beautifully equipped enabling us to cook delicious meals both evenings of our stay without any stress (3 ovens and 3 dishwashers - brilliant). A thoroughly enjoyable weekend was had by all and I'm sure we'll be back again if we get a chance.

- Mrs Paton, September 2019
“Unsliven Bridge Farm was in an ideal situation close to Stocksbridge and there was plenty of parking space for our 5 large cars.”

Owners were welcoming and helpful. The house was bright, spacious and safe for the young children....stair gates, fire guards etc provided and enclosed back garden was safe for playing. The barbecue area was well equipped with plenty of seating and tables. The barbecue itself was extremely clean and the hot tub was maintained by the owner every morning. We used the hot tub daily ......a lovely relaxing time... and high standard plastic wine glasses were provided for use in the pool area. The outside hot shower was great. Inside the house facilities were excellent and all in good working order. The Games Room was popular!. Beds were comfortable, bedding and towels of a high standard, en suite bathrooms clean and cots provided as requested. There was plenty of space around the long table for 16 of us to enjoy a meal together. Lovely weather enabled us to get out and about daily. The house was well situated to explore the popular nearby areas of interest in the Peak District and enjoy walks around the local reservoirs. All in all we had a most successful, really enjoyable holiday, meeting the needs of the adults, children and babies extremely well. We were sorry when our week came to an end but have many memories and photos to remind us of the great family holiday we had.

“Amazing”

- Mrs Sim, June 2019
“This property was amazing.”

It was very clean and well equipped. Everything was of a very high standard. There is plenty to do and see in the area.

- Mr Crawley, May 2019
“Excellent stay, every little detail was thought of.”

- Mrs Thompson, January 2019
“We booked this accommodation for a family weekend.”

This holiday was particularly important to our family due to an illness in the family. Unsliven Barn exceeded all of our expectations. It was such a beautiful place and the cleanliness was exceptional. The barn has been lovingly restored and is of a particularly high spec. Nothing has been left to chance. Lisa the owner met us when we arrived and was very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent accommodation and the surrounding area was beautiful too. 11 out of 10

- Mrs Hayes, November 2018
“A fantastic place to stay in a large group.”

The layout meant that there was plenty of space for everyone to be together, yet if anyone wanted some peace there other areas just as comfy! We were short of nothing - so well equipped and well organised. As a group of 10 adults and 5 children it was perfect. The games room was loved by the children and the comfy sofa areas by the adults for catching up and relaxing. The owners were very friendly and helpful. With the added bonus of lots of enjoyable walks in the local area we would definitely recommend Unsliven Bridge Farm as it exceeds it 5 star rating.

- Mrs Waugh, November 2018
“Excellent property, everything and everyone catered for. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.”

Booked for my 60th. Location suited as family and friends coming from north and south. Age range of guests 13 to 65. Everyone loved the property and all the amenities. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Nice restaurants and shops nearby. I have been to many properties, in Scotland and England, this was by far the best especially for large parties. Loved it. Had an excellent stay, wish I hadn’t been as busy and could have stayed longer. Owners look after the place exceptionally well and are very helpful and friendly. Would definitely book again as would my friends and family.

- Yvonne-beebon, October 2018
“The house is exceptional - the pictures look great but still dont do it justice.”

It is immaculate and furnished with everything you could need and more. The under floor heating means it is warm throughout despite the large open areas. Fabulous.

- Mr Burnett, October 2018
“Exceeded expectations.”

Age group of party from 13 to 65. Everyone loved the cottage. Could never recommend this place highly enough, perfect for larger parties. Location chosen because of proximity between the Scots and English visitors, (meeting half way) so very glad I chose this particular property something in the house and area for everyone.

- Ms Mcwilliam, September 2018
“The accommodation is by far the best we have ever stayed in, spotless, well ...”

The accommodation is by far the best we have ever stayed in, spotless, well equipped and the owners were lovely people and a pleasure to speak to

- Mrs Thompson, September 2018
“5 star accommodation.”

Everything top quality. What more can you ask for?

- Mr Woodall, August 2018
“A beautiful house”

- Mrs Whittaker, August 2018
“We went away for a big birthday and the place was perfect as there is a lot of us.”

Each family got a room each and the kids had plenty of space for playing outside. The hot tub and BBQ facilities were also perfect and it wasn't too far of a drive from shops or walks. Lisa was so helpful and friendly would defiantly recommend this place of any of her others if not as large a family. Can't fault one thing!

- Miss Geoghegan, July 2018
“Fantastic accommodation, would definitely recommend”

A beautifully appointed barn conversion ideal for a family holiday of four generations. We were celebrating milestone birthdays and it was lovely to be able to find somewhere suitable for us all. The attention to detail is incredible, child friendly for a 10 month old learning to walk. There is absolutely everything you need, a real home from home. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

- JMB1631, July 2018
“A wonderful 4 generation family holiday.”

The cottage was exceptional with all facilities and more, that would be required. The location was convenient to explore the area and we had an enjoyable time doing this. The cottage was impeccably clean and comfortable, bedding luxurious and beds wonderful. Every detail has been thought of from a wonderful selection of games and books, even some babies toys. Made child friendly with stair gates at top and bottom of each staircase. I could not find any fault with anything. Many thanks to Lisa and her family for the care provided. We are likely to return.

- Mrs Bedford, July 2018
“Lisa and her husband run a great place for parties to stay.”

THey were also more than helpful and obliging. Facilities were second to non. Fantastic place to stay for a family gathering like we did. Thanks fo everything LIsa and the staff at Sykes Cottages. Debra and Peter Williamson

- Mrs Williamson, June 2018
“This place is truly fantastic.”

Spotlessly clean and superbly equipped - a real lottery winners bolt hole. We used it for a family reunion with ages 1-91 and ALL enjoyed the facilities and greenery of the location. Table tennis, TV, hot tub and World Cup - whats not to like

- Mr Wright, June 2018
“Lovely house in a beautiful location.”

The owner was very helpful and the house had everything we could have wished for

- Mrs Linnington, May 2018
“A beautiful property,high quality fixtures and fittings.”

Spotlessly clean,and very well equipped.The hot tub was a big hit and is bigger than it looks on the photos. There is a lovely 10 minute walk to the reservoir and a nice walk along side it to the Activity Centre. Perfect for our extended family get-together,aged from 3 years to 72. There is plenty of room for everyone to eat,chat and play games together, but also plenty of space for people to sit quietly and read,away from the crowd. A lot of properties to sleep 12 ,have fewer bathrooms,this one has a beautiful bathroom for each bedroom.Very highly recommended,Lisa,the owner replies very promptly to emails and was on hand to advise about the hot tub.

- Mrs Rippon, May 2018
“This property was immaculate with quality fixtures and fittings and the kitchen area was fitted out well beyond our expectations.”

The hot tub was a bit of a disappointment and we would have valued a bbq more, which was the only real omission to the property. It was on the edge of beautiful walking countryside. We will definitely return.

- Mrs Green, May 2018

We are sorry you felt that the Hot Tub was a disappointment. We have now upgraded the hot tub from a log burning one to a electric hot tub and we have now installed a outdoor charcoal BBQ. We appreciate your feedback and the time taken to leave us comments. Sykes owner relations
“Amazing”

I recently stayed at Unsliven with my husband, and it was honestly one of the best cottages we've ever been to. It was immaculately clean, with everything organised so that finding what you need is easy. Everything was ready for us; the hot tub was even lit so we could get straight in. We were met by the owner after we had settled in, who showed us how to light it ourselves - this was very useful as it is log fired. Not only was the cottage beautifully presented, it was done so to a very high standard. The bed linen in particular was excellent quality. It felt like every little detail had been carefully considered to make our stay as pleasant as possible. There was every amenity we could need - including ample parking, a bathroom for each bedroom, a tv in each bedroom, and a games room. The cottage is dog friendly, but as people who don't have dogs we appreciated that this wasn't obvious - there was no dog hair or dog smell. The kitchen was an absolute dream with an abundance of facilities food prep, cooking, and storage - all so clean they looked brand new. We also found the signage around the cottage immensely helpful. Communication with the owner was good, with prompt and polite replies. We also received a pdf before our arrival that laid out clearly all information we would need. Although a bond is required we were reassured by the pdf that as long as we used common sense and respect there would be no need for charges. As it were, our bond was returned in full, on time. We were also refunded for hot tub logs that we didn't use, which was much appreciated. The local area is lovely, very picturesque with nice places to eat, friendly locals, and good real ale pubs. All in all, we were genuinely really pleased with every aspect of our stay at Unsliven, and would highly recommend.

- Jodie H, April 2018
“What can I say about Unsliven Bridge Farm other than WOW.”

The place is amazing with every inch of it finished to such a high standard even the cutlery and glasses were of a high standard. It was beautifully clean and fresh. The hot tub was a great extra. We will definitely be back. You will not be disappointed if you book this place. The owners were really friendly and helpful too. I want to go back now !

- Ms Belt, April 2018
“This property was ideal for our family get together.”

There were 15 of us in the group and it was very spacious. It was immaculately clean, very well equipped, lovely and warm (we had very heavy snow falls during our visit) and the owners were very obliging. The hot tub was extremely efficient and was the highlight of the weekend for the children and some of the adults.

- Mrs Bertenshaw, March 2018
“FAB U LOUS”

We needed a house for 14 people, parents and children of all ages, to stay over the Christmas Period. We arrived on the Friday afternoon before Christmas, located the keys and on entering the building soon realised that we had come to a special place. Everything was clean and tidy, bedrooms spotless, an array of en-suite bathrooms with towels, a kitchen with three dishwashers, three ovens, two sinks two freezer-fridges lost count of the TVs, a play room with TV, Pool Table, and Table Tennis, all with cues bats and balls, fabulous. We met up with Sally, who looks after the place, she was delightful and came back the following morning to demonstrate the outside hot tub. Not only what has been listed but a utility room with freezers, sinks etc which was so useful as a storage facility. We had two Christmas trees lights and things. Great time was had by all I thoroughly recommend this place Sally would tell us that even over the Christmas Period she would be on call any hour of the day. We did not need her help On leaving, my son's car developed a flat battery and that was when Sally played her trump card by providing one of maintenance team with jump plugs. All sorted, all fantastic.

Very well presented and catered for large groups, property is immaculate, all bedrooms ensuite and can be king or twins. Fantastic large kitchen which is fab for entertaining. Owners are very attentive nothing too much trouble and was a nice touch to have tea, coffee, suger, milk, chocolates on arrival.

- Mrs Cookson, December 2017
“The property was ideal for a family group of 14 ranging in age from 2 to 75 with space to occasionally escape to a quiet room We all enjoyed the games room and the hot tub ( even in winter!”

) Cooking Christmas Dinner was no problem with multiple ovens, hobs, fridges and freezers and a more than adequate supply of pots, pans and tableware and 3 dishwashers (not of the human variety!) The bedrooms and en suites were beautifully appointed with lots of hanging space in the wardrobes and clothes hangers We were there at Christmas and appreciated the 2 fresh trees and decorations provided The staff we met were very pleasant and helpful even to helping with jump leads when a car failed to start

- Mrs Thomas, December 2017

- Mr Pearson, October 2017
“Family trip”

Absolute fantastic place. Kitted out to high end quality. Nice location. Plenty of parking. We had a party of 14 and we didnt get under each others feet. On first impression cost may sound expensive but broken down between couples it was well worth it for the value.

- Alun M, August 2017
“Perfect weekend getaway!”

Great property, exceeded expectations. Rooms have all been recently refurbished to a high standard, the linen/ towels feel luxurious just what you'd get at a 5* hotel. The property is well equipped and catered to our large groups needs very well including the dog!. The hot tub is amazing, wood is provided for your arrival and the owners even asked if we wanted it preheating which was a nice touch. Will defiantly be returning next year!!

- Jamie_f236, May 2017
“Mr”

Hired the 2 cottages for a family getaway. There was 19 people and 3 dogs. The main cottage was huge with plenty of room, we never felt like we was getting under each other's feet. Plenty of utensils and the owners have thought of everything. The outside area would of been fab if the weather had been kinder. The games room was a big hit and kept everyone entertained. Perfect cottages, lovely weekend, would definitely stay again!
