“Easy to book, great location and cottage as per listing and the owners were really nice, friendly and with good tips for walks and visit ideas.”

- Mr Gougeon, October 2019
“This property was just perfect for us.”

. Plenty of room.. Lovely home comforts.. Log burner... Lovely bath to soak in after a long walk.. Location of property perfect for local walks at the end of the drive and not too far to drive for others.. All in all this place comes highly recommended.. With lovely hosts and a couple of furry friends to welcome us too

- Ms Atkinson, September 2019
“Excellent cottage a lot of thought has been put into the finishing touches.”

Comfortable, cosy and practical great location to discover the Peak District. Normally I wouldn't book a cottage where the hosts live so close to the property Clare and Graham create the correct balance leaving you alone to enjoy your stay but at hand if there are any problems. We ran out of logs Graham was more than happy to refill the basket which was greatly appreciated. Great cottage excellent location very helpful hosts.

- Mr Briggs, September 2019
“The cottage was most well equipped and comfortable graham and Claire where very helpful with places to visit they were perfect host's.”

- Mr Smith, September 2019
“Lovely accommodation with everything you will need for a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings.”

Excellent hosts who were attentive, friendly and helpful at all times. Great for walkers and dog owners including secluded woodland area. Great for access to numerous attractions within the Peak District. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Mr Frater, August 2019
“What a beautiful, cosy, comfy cottage, in a lovely peaceful location.”

The owners were wonderful hosts, so welcoming and helpful, but not intrusive. And their two lovely dogs were great, our dog loved them. Good walks direct from the cottage, and in such a beautiful area, you were spoilt for choice for walking, whether you wanted a more gentle stroll or for those more energetic. And lots of helpful information in the cottage, or Claire &Graham were on hand for advice. The only problem we found off the Sykes website details, were the directions to the cottage, they, unusually for Sykes, were quite confusing. I think a more detailed description would help holiday makers. Other than that a great cottage, one we would certainly return to.

- Mrs Smith, August 2019
“A beautiful home away from home in the Peak District.”

Lovely quiet and tranquil surroundings out in the countryside yet still within easy access to popular attractions. An absolute pleasure staying here,

- Miss Stroud, August 2019
“We had a lovely stay in this wonderful cottage.”

The cottage was decorated with a lovely taste, and had all facilities we needed. Its location is perfect for a holiday to explore the South Peak District, with very calm and peaceful surroundings, and perfect to take the dogs for a lovely walk. The beds were very comfy, and the bathroom is large. The birdfeeder attracted a lot of birds, a joy to watch! Unfortunately we did not come across that many curlews, only heard and saw them a few times. We'd love to come back!

- Ms De Vries, July 2019
“Lovely little.”

Cottage in a beautiful area. Very peaceful.

- Mrs Haxton, July 2019
“Just a lovely remote cottage, clean warm and welcoming, lovely owners.”

- Miss Howard, June 2019
“Beautifully clean.”

Nice and homely, not blank and boring. Nice decor and furnishings. Lovely touches as a welcome and all the necessary basics in kitchen and bathroom.

- Mrs Starsmore, May 2019
“Glens Cottage was charming cosy and comfortable.”

We and our dog Wilf loved it,the views,walks,and the bird song. Scored it bit less for facilities,as the shower was not good,but the bath excellent for a good soak. Clare and Graham were welcoming and friendly,lots of information about the area,much appreciated. If you want peace and quiet,in the most beautiful area,then we recommend Glens Cottage.

- Mr & Mrs Dwyer, May 2019
“Spotlessly clean and well equipped cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

Friendly and helpful hosts. Lots to do in the area. Perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Good WiFi and lots of tv channels. Lovely deep bath. Unbelievably comfortable bed. I will definitely be booking to come again.

- Mrs Peck, May 2019
“The cottage is in the most splendid location convenient for Buxton, Bakewell, The Manifold Valley, Dovedale, Lathkill Dale and is very comfortable- the double beds are excellent!”

- Mr Swindley, April 2019
“The owners of the cottage were very welcoming and helpful especially providing information about walks.”

It was lovely to find wine, fresh milk on our arrival. Very quiet, detached cottage, warm, good WiFi, well equipped and the beautiful sound of the curlews outside.

- Mrs Hay, April 2019
“The cottage was a lovely place to stay.”

Claire and Graham have done a great job of making the place very homely. A wonderful place to stay. This was the first time we've used sykes cottages and we will only use them in future so much better than a welcome type cottage company.

- Mr Jones, March 2019
“Excellent hosts, excellent cottage, excellent view, have booked again.”

- Mr Alcock, March 2019
“We have just spent a very enjoyable month in Glen's Cottage.”

The accommodation is set in a beautiful area, definitely 'away from it all' but is a drive to the nearest village so if you were looking for something where you can walk to the pub of an evening (for instance) this probably won't be your ideal property. That said, the draw for us was that is was so out of the way and the peace and quiet of the surroundings was amazing. It was so nice to wake up in a morning and listen to the birds outside - truly magical. The cottage itself was cosy with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The hosts were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. They kept us supplied with wood for the log burner and were accommodating when various friends and family descended on us to celebrate my Husband's birthday. We only had one blip which was that the TV kept losing signal which was frustrating as it generally happened in the evening just as we settled down to watch. The hosts did their best to sort the problem but then went on holiday for our last week which left us having to liaise with the 'TV guy' ourselves and 'to and fro' to the owners abroad which was a bit of a pain to be honest. All in all though, a lovely month, helped by the unseasonably good February weather and we were genuinely sad to leave. Just as an afterthought, if you like a power shower, this probably isn't the place for you!!

- Mrs Trenchard-hill, February 2019

We were very sorry that the guests experienced TV issues and when they first experienced them we called our local repairman who came the very next day. As the problem was intermittent fault finding was difficult. Despite this we renewed the aerial cable and the TV worked well for a couple of days. Unfortunately it lost signal again on the Friday just as we were due to go on holiday. We left the phone number of our local repairman so that the guests could let him know when they were going to be in. I also phoned him myself from Italy. He came on the Monday but the TV was once more working well. However this time he replaced the mast amplifier just in case that was causing the problem. We communicated regularly with both the owner and the repairman whilst we were away but then discovered the signal issue was an area wide problem and many other houses in the area were also experiencing the same issues. A new 4G mast has recently been commissioned and it is thought this may have been causing the intermittent loss of signal. We are really sorry that our guest experienced this problem and hopefully the local issue is now resolved. We also have noted the comment on the power shower. We are considering installing a pumped power shower but because of the age and layout of the cottage this is not straightforward; however this is an improvement we are looking to make if possible. Sykes owner relations
“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.

- Mrs Clift, December 2018
“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!

- Mr Baker, November 2018
“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

- Mr Dobbie, October 2018
“Exellent cottage with really friendly and helpful owners in a beautifull location”

- Mr Hoskins, October 2018
“A lovely rural stay, peaceful with lovely knowledgeable owners .”

- Mr Chibnall, September 2018
“This was the best cottage, we've stayed in so far.”

Very friendly owners. Quiet but beautiful position. Good place for bird watching. Very enjoyable break.

- Rev Fletcher, September 2018
“We had a lovely week at Glenn's cottage.”

Our hosts were friendly and welcoming. We really appreciated the welcoming bottle of wine, milk, tea and coffee. The cottage was clean and cosy with comfortable beds. I would highly recommend a holiday here and would love to come again.

- Mrs Lee, September 2018

- Mrs Reid, August 2018
“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!

- Miss Thorp, August 2018
“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.

- Mrs Farr, August 2018
“Such a beautiful cottage set in beautiful surroundings.”

“We loved staying at Glen’s cottage.”

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!

- Ms Scott, April 2018
“Great cottage.”

Hosts very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The whole process was smooth and efficient.

- Mrs Aughwane, March 2018
“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.

- Mrs Jones, February 2018
“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.

- Stazia18, January 2018
“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,
