“Lovely cottage and lovely people.”

Lovely cottage and lovely people. Due to the snow we thought we’d be stuck. Lady that owned the cottage was very understanding at our being late at leaving. Lovely neighbors helped clear the snow to get us out. Thank you everyone so much. Had a great time.

“On entering the cottage, we were ...”

On entering the cottage, we were overwhelmed by the smell of damp and mould. Indeed, as the door leads into the kitchen, we saw immediately all the mould round the windows. The first thing we did was to open those windows to try and get rid of some of the smell. Then, in the living room is a wet wall - not just damp, wet! We were really shocked that we had been sent to spend a week in these conditions - where is Sykes quality assurance? Photos available. In terms of how the cottage is fitted out, everything is cheap. And the bare minimum. In fact, we'd say that in the kitchen it didn't even reach the bare minimum - the amount of crockery was dismal, 5 dinner plates, 5 side plates, 4 bowls! Not even a milk jug. The oven was dirty as was the grill pan - so we didn't use either. There is no garden and the village isn't the best to say the least. Now we know the area we wouldn't stay here again, not just the cottage but the village too - Kinster up the road is lovely. In a word, the standard of this cottage was shocking.

The property

This delightful corner cottage rests within the village of Wensley, a wonderful part of the Peak District National Park.

Full of charm and tradition, you are guaranteed to feel a warm welcome upon arrival.

The diverse selection of bedrooms make this retreat perfect for a family or group of friends looking for a sociable place to return to after a day of adventure.

Enter into the kitchen/diner, complete with a homely touch, and you can enjoy breakfast or dinner amongst the heart-warming layout.

Cosy up in the sitting room before the woodburner, and be impressed by the signature fireplace and overhead exposed beams that bring a real sense of character.

The ground floor is also home to a twin bedroom, neutrally decorated for a classic finish, and accompanied by a bedside table.

Take the stairs to arrive at the king-size bedroom, wonderfully presented with a built-in wardrobe and a dressing table where you can get ready ahead of your afternoon.

The single bedroom has a pull-out bed and is convenient for a child or extra guest to enjoy a peaceful nights sleep away from it all.

A family bathroom boasts an all-white suite and completes the accommodation.

Nestled in the Derbyshire hills just 3 miles from Matlock, with some wonderful walking and stunning views all around, Wensley is the place to be.

Bakewell, Chatsworth and Matlock are all nearby and for keen walkers and cyclists, the village lies within 5 miles of the Tissington and The Limestone Way.

About the location

WENSLEY

Matlock 3 miles; Bakewell 8 miles.

Wensley is a conservation village which is nestled in the Derbyshire hills just 3 miles from Matlock, with some wonderful walking and stunning views all around. Just one mile away is the conservation village of Winster which is situated within the Peak District National Park and is an extremely pretty place with a charming 17th century market house and other imposing 18th century houses on its three main streets. Less imposing, but no less endearing, are the little alleyways or ‘ginnels’ off Main Street, which are well worth exploring. The village is famous for its Morris dancers, Wakes festivities (every July) and its annual Shrove Tuesday pancake race - a fascinating spectacle! Within the village is a well-stocked community store incorporating a Post Office, and two pubs - both serving food and local traditional beer. Bakewell, Chatsworth and Matlock are all nearby and, for keen walkers and cyclists, the village lies within 5 miles of the Tissington and High Peaks walking/cycling trails and The Limestone Way.
