"The Stables is very tastefully decorated & well maintained in a peaceful setting."
The bed was comfy as was the sofa. The bathrooms are contemporary with good storage space. We had a warm welcome from Julie & Jason kindly helped us with the heating controls. The parking area is very good. The Stables is an excellent place to stay. Do take your own tea, coffee & milk as it is not provided, to have with the delicious biscuits the owners provide. In the evening you can enjoy the prosecco! Thank you.

"The Stables is a beautiful cottage , spacious, modern and spotless."
We had a family wedding in the area so booked The Stables as a base, definitely wished we had stayed longer. It’s in the most beautiful surroundings and it felt so relaxing. The heated pod in the garden was just perfect to watch the sunrise through the trees with a nice cuppa, used it in the evenings to enjoy the peace and quiet. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds were very comfortable. Julie and Jason are lovely hosts and nothing was to much trouble. Thank you for providing such a relaxing time. Would whole heartedly recommend.

"We had a lovely week at The Stables in the Easter Holidays."
We stayed with 2 babies and the two downstairs bedrooms was ideal! There was nothing else we needed for a very comfortable week. Well equipped kitchen comfortable sitting area. The beds were comfortable and plenty of space to put things away. The bathroom was downstairs.there was a powerful shower upstairs which was a real treat. Situated just off a main route but you would not know. The alpacas sheep and horses nearby kept our 6 year old more than occupied. Several places of interest. Alton towers and the Peak Wildlife park only a few miles away. Bakewell and Buxton not so far either. We cannot thank our hosts enough for making our week so enjoyable. The free hen eggs were delicious. A stay here is highly recommended!
Thank you for your lovely feedback, so pleased you all enjoyed your Easter break here. Property Owner

"Lovely, well kept cottage that was both modern and spotless."
We liked the no shoe policy but the stones from the garden always found their way inside! Lovely heated pod in garden and small play house for kids. Great base for Alton Towers. Would recommend to others and look to stay if in the area again.

"Wow what can I say, the stables is truly stunning…."
. from start to finish our cottage break was fantastic. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and is finished to a very high standard. Julie and Jason are great hosts and nothing was to much trouble. We book with Sykes 4/5 times a year and this has to be my favourite by a long mile. Stunning views and walks all topped off by the amazing animals on the farm. We will definitely be returning. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful cottage you won’t be disappointed.

"Wow! Best cottage we have stayed at and have visited quite a few."
The Stables was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean with everything you need for a short break and more. Yummy treats and a bottle of Fizz greeted us upon arrival and the location is beautiful. Spent evenings playing cards and games which were provided in the lovely garden overlooking the sheep and alpacas, the garden has a heated seating pod, blankets/cushions so would be perfect anytime. Really couldn't fault it, can't wait to return!
Thank you for your lovely feedback, look forward to seeing you all again soon. Property Owner
