“Brilliant week, again!”

My friends and myself have stayed here for 2 consecutive years now and the location, the property and the ease of booking were all brilliant!

Mr Sorrell, May 2019
“Everything great , good communication from Lee.”

Shower did not work properly on first of 2 nights. Lee very responsive and quick repair. Well placed for visits, lovely walks from house, good parking.

Ms Broadbent, May 2019
“Perfect little cottage with everything you could need.”

Particularly liked that the gardens was sealed off so the toddler and dog were safe. Hot tub was fantastic!

Miss Mutton, April 2019
“Had a fantastic time, the cottage fit 8 of us in and we all had plenty of room!”

property was very well looked after, and in such a sweet little village! was perfect for getting out of London! 10/10 would stay again!

Miss Jaram, March 2019
“We appreciated the late check out on Sunday.”

Was lovely - hot tub was great despite the cold weather!

Ms Pearce, March 2019
“Really lovely house, had everything there you could want/need.”

Very clean & smelt lovely when we walked in. Was big enough for all 8 of us and the dog. Will definitely be booking to go back

Mrs Harris, January 2019

Thanks to the owners for the nice little touches!

We were unsure about the location originally but it turned out to be in a central position for what we wanted to do. The only slight problem was the TV which was difficult to understand. It was Freesat and seemed a little tempramental. We also contacted the owner about another thing who sorted it out immediately. Would revisit in the future.

Finding somewhere that has 4 double beds is often tricky, so it is great that this house has the flexibility of doubles / twins in each room. The communal rooms are great for 8 people and we were very happy to have a hot tub! The only improvement we can think of is to have a second bath/shower (1 between 8 people meant it took a while to get everyone ready!).

Miss Muchan, November 2018

Information about key pick up and directions all so easy to follow. After arriving had some trouble with electricity but one phone call and hey presto we were sorted out in no time. Everything we needed was there. We had two young children and enough room for them to play situated in convenient spot to visit many different places and walks and cycle tracks and then come back to lovely BBQ glass of wine and hot tub. What more could one want. It’s the second time we have used Sykes cottages (last year a flat in Llandudno) just for two and that to was good. Thank you for making our holiday one to remember with time for all the family to remember.

Enjoyed a visit to the Heights of Abraham for first time experiences for granddaughter aged 7 - cable car ride, caverns, punch and Judy. Carrington Water was another successful day out with plenty to do and see. Enjoyed a stroll by the Cromford Canal. The hot tub at the cottage was a great extra, enjoyed particularly by the grandchildren. A lovely break with wonderful weather.

Mrs Fowler, July 2018

Overall, I had a very nice stay at Duke's Park. The only thing I would say is that the area for the cottage was too residential. There were houses on all sides affording very little privacy and making us conscious of noise. Furthermore, the hot tub isn't allowed to be used between 10pm and 8am because of this. We were sitting and talking in the garden in the evening and someone came over at 10.05 telling us to get out of the hot tub which did put a dampner on our evening. This was understandable but if we had known in advance it was so strict, that would have potentially put us off booking this particular cottage.

Mr Stonebanks, July 2018
“The house was absolutely lovely and well furnished.”

The hot tub was gorgeous too. Really pretty place and just such a relaxing break from start to finish. Thank you

A mini getaway close to home - Even with the snow we were able to get there. The owner was very informative and helpful before we arrived. The cottage was fully equipped and met all of our expectations. Would highly recommend the cottage to friends and family looking for a getaway. The only thing I would suggest is a door mat inside the front door, as it was snowy the front door area was a little wet from all our boots. We were going to buy one but all the shops were closed in Matlock Bath.

Well kitted our with everything you need. The lack of a decent shower let it down a little. Also no pre warning about restrictions of time for hot tub due to previous guest abuse. That being said I would stay again. Great size and clean.

Excellent customer service from the owner. Lots of extra touches that really made the weekend away. Great location and nice to have a pub that’s walkable to that allows dogs! It’s also great to have an option for a luxury cottage that my dog is welcome at. All in all we had an excellent long weekend. Would definately recommend and would book again!

Mrs Stott, February 2018

It was so lovely to have a place big enough to be together as well as enough room to have space away from each other, as required. The hot tub was definitely a great idea and we will definitely choose a Sykes cottage with one for our next holiday together. Lovely surroundings and walks and the added bonus of snow! I left some items of food and as it was too far to drive back to collect it the owner kindly agreed that the food would not be wasted. Thank you for a fabulous break! we all really enjoyed our stay very much.

Ms Lee, January 2018
“We really enjoyed our break at Dukes Par, the cottage was clean comfortable and well equipped.”

If we could have changed anything it would be to have a second shower and stair gate.

Mrs Wright, December 2017
“There are only 2 things that would have improved the cottage - a boot rack and some coat pegs by the front door.”

It’s an excellent cottage and we’d love to stay again.

About the location

MIDDLETON BY WIRKSWORTH

Wirksworth 1.7 miles; Matlock 5 miles.

The former quarry and lead mining village of Middleton quietly nestles on a prominent hillside above the nearby towns of Wirksworth and Cromford, 5 miles from Matlock. The village is centred on a long main street which consists of two good pubs, before eventually winding its way down into nearby Wirksworth with a selection of shops and amenities. The village was the Silver Gilt winner for the National Village in Bloom awards in 2016 and 2017. The surrounding countryside is a walker's and cyclist's paradise, with the disused High Peak Railway line close by, recently converted into The High Peak Cycle Trail and providing a fun day out for all. Nearby Matlock provides a good range of shops and pubs, whilst the many National Trust properties and museums throughout the area are not to be missed. A great location at any time of year!
