• "Lovely place in a lovely place."

  Spacious, comfortable, as someone said bigger than it looks in the photos. My toddler and dog loved the open space. It's sad that it's not cleaned properly, it spoils the charm of the place. It shouldn't be hard to clean, seeing how open it is, but the furniture and the skirting boards were covered in thick dust. Also, it would be more than useful to have at least a cordless hoover; I don't know about others but we went on a walking holiday in November, with a toddler and a dog. Picking up after ourselves with a broom and dust pan was less than desirable, time consuming and inefficient. I hope this gets addressed as the property is truly beautiful and it shouldn't be ruined by lack of cleanliness. Lovely, enjoyable stay, otherwise, we would love to go again.

• "Excellent property in a lovely condition."

  I think the overall experience would be first class if there was WIFI available and tea plates instead of just dinner plates. Overall I would highly recommend this property.

• "Had a lovely stay."

  Cottage was a lot bigger than it looks but very comfortable. Finished to a high standard and fairly well equipped. Would have been nice to have some lighting round the fireplace just as a focal point , even just fairy lights. There were wonderful views and it was very quiet and peaceful. It was a real bonus having the cafe at the end of the drive. (Also belonging to the owners of the cottage) Had a lovely breakfast there on the morning we left. Food was delicious.

• ". In reply we would like to confirm although the property was lovely unfortunately we have had to come home a day earlier than we have paid for due to the property house keeping really letting us down and spoiling our stay and costing us more unexpected expenses. We wanted the holiday to be special as we went with our mother who is poorly with cancer and just wanted a nice break together and unfortunately this was not the case, on arrival we were told we were nor expect until the following day and some things in the house were not complete in fact very little was ready, the bedding had not been changed and was badly stained and smelt awfully, the furniture was in poor repair, flu's and insects in all windows, glasses still half full left on the fire place baby-bottle with moldy coffee or similar left in draws grill in kitchen left with badly burned food baked to it and in all totally unacceptable"

  . We had to spend over £40 on new bedding and eat out for the days we were there mostly. I have pics of some issues mentioned but doesn't seem to be anywhere on here to send them to you and I await your response. Many thanks Steve Brown

• "Such a beautiful property in a lovely location, so quiet."

  Everything on our arrival was first class, and really did feel like a home from home for us. Clay cross was just a stone's throw away with great restaurant's , and the lovely Tea room and farm shop at the end of the lane for a quick breakfast and milk etc was just the ticket. Would we return, oh yes !

• "We loved the dairy but the cleaning was very very poor."

  Lots of bits on floor including two hair clips which we removed from our dogs mouth. Lots of dust on all the tops ,bedroom tops, under settee and in the wardrobe. The mattress protector was very stained The bathroom floor was really dirty at the sides of the sink. The kitchen worktops were really dirty as if sugar had dried on it and took a bit of energy to get ride of it. The settee was really dusty behind the head rests also down between the seats there was loads of food bits. The kitchen table took a bit of cleaning also very marked. So before I could start my holiday I had to address a lot of the issues. So I would suggest a deep clean to the property. It is such a shame because it could be a beautiful place to have a perfect holiday. Just so sorry we had to write about the issues.

• "What a fabulous barn conversion!"

  This one was huge, about 85 feet from one end to the other. Very comfy beds, 2 showers and a kitchen to die for.. think I counted 26 cupboards! What would have put the cherry on the top, as we've had on every stay with Sykes would be a welcome pack. Only something like a small bottle of milk and maybe a few biscuits. And we've had a vase full of fresh flowers. But that's only a teeny grumble. Julie was very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble for her. We sat out in the courtyard, or the seats outside the cottage, or the other sests on the faux grass, wonderful! Our little dog enjoyed herself too. Plenty of places to explore around too. We'd recommend The Dairy to all.

• "A spacious well furnished property and being on one level made it safe to take our toddler."

  The Dairy was equipped with everything we required for a comfortable break back in our home county of Derbyshire. Shops are only a short drive away and it was ideally situated to tour the surrounding countryside and attractions. We would love to book again, hopefully in warmer weather!

• "Lovely Barn, a little disappointed that there was no Christmas decoration and very disappointed with the lack of kitchen equipment, no washing machine and there was no way we could have cooked our Christmas dinner, only 1 baking tray and no dishes to cook anything else in."

• "The heating was noisy Everything else"

  Hi Belinda. Sorry to hear about that, we wish that you would have made this known during your stay. Unfortunately due to changing times, our heating source is from an air source heat pump which is more environmentally friendly. They’re not very noisy but can be heard when they kick in the heat the underfloor heating. Property Owner
