A very comfortable stay in a nice property and a great location - fantastic for dogs and just relaxing and the convenience of a very good pub/restaurant just across the road.

“The barn is spacious and very ...”

The barn is spacious and very comfortable with everything needed for a family holiday. It was immaculately presented, The secure garden is perfect for a dog and ours loved it! Some lovely places to visit and good food in local pubs. Ashbourne is a very nice place to shop and Carsington Water great for a day out. We really enjoyed our stay.

“The cottage was perfect in which to ...”

The cottage was perfect in which to celebrate my son's 30th birthday. He and his fiancée have a dog and she loved the out door space. It was lovely to be able to walk in the woods right behind the cottage. The Cock Inn opposite the cottage was one of the best pubs I have been to and perfectly situated for us! It would be useful to know what is at the cottage in the way of cleaning materials, tea towels, tea, coffee etc. The owner of the cottage was very accommodating when I called her to ask and in fact did leave us some milk and tea. A very good holiday experience, it was the first time we have booked with Sykes cottages but I would certainly do so again.

an excellent cottage which we would recommend for staying in this area, spotlessly clean with all modern day facilities. Ideal for dogs with a secure garden and larger exercise field.

“The cottage itself was lovely with ...”

The cottage itself was lovely with a good location. Use of the field was a bonus for the kids. Unfortunately the work on the nearby pub (which should've been fished in April) woke us up every morning at 7! (Except sunday). This is obviously not anything that could be influenced by Sykes but a 'heads up' would've been good. It shouldn't affect many more booking although there is a large extractor fan opposite the master bedroom that could be noisy on completion

We had such a lovely time at Woodside Barn. It was bright and airy. The cottage was so private at the rear. We had a lovely week's holiday visiting lots of beautiful places in the region. We would like to say thank you so much to the owners. We all very much enjoyed our stay. Many thanks

Liked the privacy and the security of the garden for the dogs, as well as the quality of the property. There are plenty of lovely walks. A real home from home.

“Lovely Property”

Stayed at Woodside Barn over the Christmas period, with my wife and grand children. The property is situated in Church lane, Muggington which is a small village about 8 miles from Ashbourne in the Derbyshire dales. Downstairs is a large kitchen with all the amenities, and a large table that can easily seat 6 people. This leads to the Lounge that is spacious and has under floor heating for the cold weather. There is also a downstairs toilet and shower cubicle, and a wood burning stove which is an attractive feature. At one end of the lounge are a number of glass panel doors that open out onto an enclosed part lawn part chippings area which is ideal if you have a dog. Beyond this is a massive field where you can also walk your dog but it will need to be supervised. Upstairs are three bedrooms, and a toilet and bath room area. The place is spotlessly clean, and is in a convenient location to travel to many of the small villages in the dales or the nearby Cossington resevoir.

“Beatifully restored property, a real home from home.”

I would recommend this property highly; its beautifully finished, the garden and attached field is ideal for those who have pets. A lot of thought has gone into providing all those little extras which are often overlooked by other holiday property owners, such as nice soaps, dishwashers tablets etc

A charming detached barn conversion located on the southern edge of the Peak District National Park, in the picturesque village of Mugginton.

Close to the hamlet of Hulland Ward, this Peak District cottage is just a short drive from the watersports centre of Carsington Water and the town of Ashbourne.

This Peak District cottage offers spacious, contemporary accommodation with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, and provides an ideal retreat for family and friends who wish to spend time together in a peaceful and unspoilt part of the country.

This stylish cottage near Carsington Water has three lovely bedrooms offering flexible sleeping arrangements, a well-equipped kitchen and a comfortable sitting room with woodburning stove.

Outside there is a large patio and gravelled area, perfect for enjoying alfresco dining on a summer's evening, and beyond is use of the owner's field, where you can exercise your dogs or play a game of football.

About the location

HULLAND WARD

Carsington Water 2.5 mile; Ashbourne 5 miles.

Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District lies the lovely hamlet of Hulland Ward, which, nine centuries ago, was the Royal Duffield Forest of Frith. Hulland Ward is made up from a number of smaller hamlets including Hulland Moss, Hulland Upper and Nether Biggin, and is comprised of a scattering of traditional brick built cottages, old farmhouses and barn conversions, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and offering a number of country pubs renowned locally for excellent service and fine cuisine. Nearby Ashbourne is the perfect example of an English market town, boasting an eccentric street plan, narrow, cobbled alleys, old market stalls and many fine coaching inns. The town offers a good selection of restaurants, whilst being regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don't expect a bargain! For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, Carsington Water is one of the country's premier watersports centres, offering excellent sailing and a host of other activities including walking, bird watching, cycling and pony rides, whilst Alton Towers is just 45 minutes away!
