“An excellent location for a family ...”

An excellent location for a family break in beautiful peaceful surroundings. 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.

“The cottage itself was lovely and ...”

The cottage itself was lovely and the local town was beautiful with lots to see and do. 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.

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

“Had such a lovely weekend at the ...”

Had such a lovely weekend at the cottage. 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.

“Lovely place. Well kitted our with ...”

Lovely place. 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.

“Cottage was immaculate. Excellent ...”

Cottage was immaculate. 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!

“This was a 'grown up and left home' ...”

This was a 'grown up and left home' family holiday with partners and pet. 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.

“We really enjoyed our break at ...”

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.

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!
