“Good communication before and during holiday with Sykes and also with the owners of the cottage.”

Lovely welcome pack on arrival, especially as it was Christmas which made it special.

“This cottage is very understated, it's quirky and absolutely charming in all respects.”

My kids were wowed by their shared bedroom and they are not easily wowed! The cottage is very cosy and comfortable. The owners are lovely and helped out no end with some ideal walks for us. My kids wanted this on their list of places to stay again and we would have to agree. We loved it!

“Glen's Cottage is a little home from home, tucked away on a farm.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very cosy on a chilly evening, but on warm evenings we were able to sit outside until the sun set. Hosts Claire and Graham were really welcoming and we very much appreciated the milk in the fridge (and the bottle of red) :-) Fantastic that Glen's Cottage is dog friendly - our Springer Spaniel loved it too I would highly recommend this cottage with lots of places to visit within an easy distance

“The cottage is on a farm opposite the owners home.”

The owners were so friendly and generous with their space that we felt incredibly welcome. The cottage was comfortable and we slept so well in this beautifully quiet corner of the Peak District. There are numerous walks and footpaths around and plenty of space. We will certainly be booking this cottage again.

“We had a very relaxing and enjoyable break at Glen’s Cottage.”

A beautiful cottage set in the most lovely of locations, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The owners Claire and Graham were friendly and welcoming to their farm and went the extra mile to recommend places to visit to ensure we had a pleasant stay. We loved seeing Hetty and Wilbur every morning too. We shall definitely be looking to return!

It was very warm and cosy on a cold weekend and in a wonderful location. The owners were very welcoming and a lot of thought and care has been put into everything in the cottage you need for your stay. We did some of the walks recommended and is in an ideal location for exploring southern Derbyshire and North Staffordshire. Thanks it was great!

“Snowy retreat”

We couldn’t have picked a worse week for weather. Total white out! But we also couldn’t have picked a better place to get snowed in. The owners were really supportive when my son and his girlfriend got lost in the dark and snow. They did a rescue mission in the land rover! They also kept us stocked up with wood for the burner so we were toasty and warm. Very kind and thoughtful hosts. The cottage was lovely, well decorated, comfortable and fully equipped. Highly recommend. Would like to come back again but in the summer next time!

- Libisimo, February 2018
“Beautiful cottage in tranquil surroundings.”

We were snowed in for days but the hosts kept us stocked up with wood to keep us warm and toasty. Views and walks were lovely. A great place to get some rest and relaxation.

“Glens glory!”

This is an amazing cottage. We stayed over the Christmas period and were so comfortable and warm. It is in quite a beautiful and reasonably remote location. We even had snowfall which made it quite magical. Very comfortable accommodation comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and large bathroom. Hosts very friendly and helpful. A great holiday cottage.

“Warm welcome, beautiful cottage and gorgeous scenery”

My sister, husband and I stayed at Glen Cottage with our 5 and 7 year old niece and nephew. Claire, the owner was great with lots of communication before we arrived as it is a little off the beaten track.The cottage was beautifully renovated and absolutely immaculate and plenty big enough for us all. The farm was great for the kids who had so much fun playing safely with the 2 dogs. It is a beautiful location in the countryside and while you need a car, it is close enough to Buxton, Alton Towers, Matlock and all the other fun things to do in the area. We were visiting from Canada so it was exactly what we needed to spend quality time with our family, do activities with the kids, as well find peace and quiet when we needed it. Would definitely recommend and would visit again when we are back in the UK. Thanks Claire and family you are wonderful hosts!

“A home from home”

Greeted when we arrived very welcoming. House very clean and easy to live in. Although the owners lived nearby they gave us plenty of space to come and go as we pleased This was a very remote cottage but easy to go from and to. We had no children with us but they would have enjoyed the farm yard animals. We have already given a review on this holiday in June

“Excellant cottage, excellant location”

The cottage was in a nice quiet location outside Longnor, and had everything we required for our week's stay. The owners were very friendly and chatted to us on a regular basis. On the Monday of our visit, the TV programme 'Countryfile' to film about the farm which was most interesting. Julia Bradbury was the presenter and she was very friendly and spoke to us all and answered some questions we had about her exploits. All in all a very enjoyable stay,
