“Absolutely brilliant stay.”

Friendly and thoughtful owners Claire and Graham with Hetty the Collie, who made friends with Milo our Labrador. Loads of detailed advice, mapping and guidance on mountain biking and walks to suit our family's needs.

Friendly and thoughtful owners Claire and Graham with Hetty the Collie, who made friends with Milo our Labrador. Loads of detailed advice, mapping and guidance on mountain biking and walks to suit our family's needs. It is working farm, with the cottage in the grounds, which has an orchard, garden, woods and fields. There is a small pond which Milo jumped in, and I had to use the farm outdoor tap to wash Milo pronto. We counted five cows and three sheep on the farm, and two feral cats. The location is convenient for driving to various locations and points of interest. As a bonus, I conquered my fear of steep winding roads. 20% gradient on one of them! I didn't check my work emails the whole time I was there! We packed so much in yet felt really rested by the end. My son commented that everyone around is so friendly and happy, which he attributed to the fresh air. When we arrived there was a bottle of red wine on the table, a pint of semi-skimmed milk in the fridge, and chocolates on each of the pillows. Mobile reception not great - had to use my son's phone as he is on another network. However, the internet speed is great. I can't recommend enough; judging by the bookings, we are not alone in this opinion.

Mrs Edwards August 2021

“We had a great week at this lovely cottage, such a peaceful and beautiful location, perfect for all the cycling trails we planned for our holiday.”

The owners were super helpful and friendly, and made us feel most welcome, the cottage extremely clean and comfortable. We’d definitely book this cottage again.

- Mrs Edwards, August 2021
Mrs Wilmot August 2021

“The hosts were welcoming, knowledgeable about the area and gave advice and their time willingly.”

The cottage is in a gorgeous location although if you're not avid walkers it may be a touch remote. If you're looking to escape to the country this is the place for you. Well proportioned accommodation, lovely adjoining bedroom for families with children nervous about sleeping away from home. WiFi connected, highly recommend a visit.

- Mrs Wilmot, August 2021
Mr Humphreys July 2021

We were lucky to have a glorious sunny week, and enjoyed chilling on the little patio and garden. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Lots to do in the Peak District!

- Mr Humphreys, July 2021
Mr Bateson June 2021

“Nothing wrong with either the cottage or the owners,both perfect, but Sykes inability to deal effectively and effeciently with the covid situation with lack of responses made that part of the holiday a pain.”

- Mr Bateson, June 2021
Mrs Greetham May 2021

Ms Hamblen September 2020

“Claire at Glen’s Cottage warmly welcomed us into her lovely cottage.”

Extremely clean and very comfortable beds. Very well equipped kitchen and cozy living room with one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. If a peaceful and picturesque holiday is what your after this is the perfect place. Walking around the beautiful countryside thanks to the walk maps Claire provided was one of the highlights! Along with playing catch with Hetty, their very friendly border collie. I hope we can come again!

- Ms Hamblen, September 2020
Mrs Wilkinson September 2020

Mr Briggs 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
Ms Atkinson September 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

Miss Stroud 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
Mrs Smith 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
Mr Frater August 2019

“Lovely accommodation with everything you will need for a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings.”

Ms De Vries July 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

“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.

“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.

- Jones, March 2019
Mrs Trenchard-hill February 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.

Mr Dobbie October 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

- Mrs Farr, August 2018

A beautiful cottage set in the most lovely of locations, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

“A clean and quirky property, the cottage was very comfortable and we received a warm welcome.”

It is in a very rural location on a farm with walks from the door and the lovely little village of Longnor only about 2 miles away where you will find a good shop, cafes, one of which sells some beautiful hand crafted goods. The fish shop was a real bonus too. There are some good pubs in the area; the Pack Horse was our favourite as the staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent. All in all, the only criticism would be the rather lazy shower which made hair-washing a bit laborious. That said, I would gladly return to this delightful cottage.

- Mr Giles, August 2016

The location was good, just not enough time to see everything we wanted to in one week, so will just have to go back again sometime!

- Mrs Larbey, May 2015
Mrs Ward November 2014

“This was our second visit to Glen Cottage and we had a wonderful time.”

The owners are very friendly and have a wealth of local information. They made us feel very welcome and their attention to detail is second to none. The cottage is very well appointed and set in a peaceful and tranquil location, an ideal place to unwind. The Peak District is a beautiful part of the country, there are many places to visit and the scenery is fantastic.

Would like to say that the owner went out of her way to help us as I had broken my ankle two weeks earlier. She had borrowed a wheelchair and suggested wheelchair friendly options for our holiday.
