"This is the second time we have stayed here and would thoroughly recommend it."
Lovely quiet location and the cottage is clean and comfortable. A starter bag of fire wood would be helpful but we knew about that and hence brought one with us.

"Spent a lovely week at the School House Cottage as a base for exploring the Peak District."
Very peaceful and great to get away from it all.
The local area was great with super cycle routes on old railway tracks (Monsal, Tissington and High Peak) and nice towns to explore in Buxton and Bakewelll.
Also the Royal Oak pub in Hurdlow is a must visit for dinner,

"What a gorgeous little cottage."
A real escape from the world, surrounded by farmland. We had walks from the cottage, a couple of longer ones (the Three Shires was fun), fish and chips from Longnor, and amazing moonrises and sunsets. Had to have the logburner on, even though it wasn't cold enough! It's got everything, if you want to hibernate and chill out, it's the perfect place - or if you want to do site seeing, its the perfect base. Would love to go back one day.

"It was just what we needed."
The cottage was idyllic. It was surrounded by beautiful scenery. We had some brilliant walks from the door. We didn't need to use the car. To wake up to those views was the tonic we both needed. The cottage was perfect. Well equipped. The log burner was the cherry on the top. After a day of walking, we sat in front of the fire. Amazing. We will definitely go back. As for Sykes, I've already booked 4 more cottages this year. If the school house cottage has availability, we will surely love to go back and recommend it to anyone wanting a tranquil holiday to recharge their batteries. Absolutely loved it.

If you don't fancy driving anywhere, there are walks all around the hamlet and plenty of footpaths. Rambling, running, cycling paradise! Personally I walked a lot with my terrier and took a lot of photographs one of my hobbies. I will paint from my pictures and write a few short stories. Pure heaven!

Perfect get away for us two & the dog. Whilst the closest town is within a half-hour walk, planning your journey is essential due to lack of phone signal.

We were snowed in for days as the lanes were impassable in our vehicle and could not get a phone signal at all. We went prepared but others may struggle due to remote location.
We did however have a fabulous relaxing time which was organised the very same day we arrived and were very happy with the service we received
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately we do not have enough space for a freezer as we have already looked into this. We do have a larder fridge available. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and hope to see you again soon, Property Owner

"Fantastic cottage, in a remote location with views across the Dales."
The kitchen had everything that you needed and more! The bed was comfortable, which was important after you’ve enjoyed the beautiful countryside. Bathroom had a great shower, and deep bath! And enough hot water to fill it. The only negative thing (in my opinion) was the lounge seating wasn’t that comfortable, after a long day walking I like to relax in a comfy chair and put my feet up, and this wasn’t possible, I think a little rethinking and removing one of the tables this would be possible. Overall we had a great stay and loved our time in the dales and will be back.

"The isolated and remote location of School House Cottage was utterly idyllic, very warm, scrupulously clean and comfortable, well equipped and well maintained."
The bed was comfortable and the bed-linen sparkling white and clean, as were the towels, which were also fluffy and soft.
The WIFI signal was excellent and problem-fre - useful as there's no mobile 'phone signal for several miles in every direction (which, for me, was a plus.)
Ample parking space.
The owner was very helpful, without being at all intrusive of my privacy. I particularly liked the fact that, in every particular, the cottage was supplied with clear information (on, for example refuse collection) but without overburdening the holidaymaker with tons of unnecessary information.
