"From the Sykes pictures the seating was plush red velvet and looked comfortable."
In reality the sofa and chair were a faded green and most uncomfortable. I've had better furniture from Age Concern! The heating hadn't been on and the place was musty and damp and the thermostat was showing 10degrees centigrade only.. I know the weather was poor but I didn't expect damp to be coming in from the French doors. Upstairs also smelt musty and our clothes got damp. We left earliet than planned as a result. I can recommend the location but, sadly, not the property. I have used Sykes before and the properties were fine, but this was poor. Sykes need to do better

"A beautiful well equipped cottage with stunning views."
The 4 of us (+our dog) were very comfortable here for the week, so much so that I could have stayed forever!
The information pack helped to locate local facilities and walks. I can't recommend it enough!
Would love to come back some time.

"Lighting was poorly positioned making quite dark in the evenings and hard to read
The sofa was very low and saggy, not very comfortable."
Missed in the advert that the cottage did not have a washing machine.
Parking was under some trees that covered the car with sap each night, meaning a couple of trips to the jet wash!
Otherwise the cottage was quite homely and fairly priced.
Would really benefit from a log burner for a winter stay.

"A lovely compact cottage with amazing views!"
(which strangely were not included in the property photos?) We would have liked to have it pointed out to us the proximity of the main road. It is also pretty unusual not to have WiFi these days. And a small fridge freezer would have been very handy! One single bed was very squeaky which meant our son kept waking up. Otherwise a lovely place! And very dog-friendly.

"The cottage was in an idyllic spot, with spectacular views and walks from it."
However, it is a “ tired” cottage, with a saggy sofa and chair in the sitting room.It had no wifi which was my fault for not checking, and poor phone signal on our network(3).
The kitchen has no dishwasher( not a great problem) and no freezer, which was more of a problem.Again I should have checked.The tv is small and as we are both close to 70, we struggled to watch it.The bathroom was fine, shower excellent.The bedroom was adequate but only a normal sized double...again, I need to check these details next time I book one!We had a lovely time despite these negatives!

"Lovely cottage, great views from the living room, secure garden for the dogs."
Central location to popular attractions.
Only slight negative, the Hoover is not very good when you have 2 Large dogs, but im sure they use another one once customers have left, as it was very Clean on arrival

"Such a beautiful cottage."
Very idyllic surroundings. The garden was full of daffodils and the view beyond was such an amazingly peaceful panorama of fields gently lilting up
to hills in the distance. In the view from the sitting room there were no roads to be seen.Truly peaceful. I loved sitting and looking at this view. First thing in the morning there was a distinct sound of sheep which was so lovely as they were quite a distance away. From staying here we were able to visit a few highspots in the Peak District and absolutely loved Poole's Cavern.

"The Cottage was clean and well equiped in a lovely setting."
Plenty of information and maps for sight seeing however although there was a pub in the village the nearest shop was in the next village a short drive away.The enclosed rear garden was good for our dog and there was also a field for her to run about.The only thing that was missing was any seating in the garden.

"The organisation was very easy and straight forward."
The cottage was ideally located and a very comfortable base. Being able to let our dog out in a safe place was a real bonus. From the back we had stunning views. But as the cottage was on the main road, there is naturally going to be some road noise. But it did not detract us from having a great break.

"A really cosy and warm cottage in a great location."
Stunning uninterrupted far reaching view from The Cottage. Spiral stairs have a fixed gate at the bottom which was good to stop the dogs going upstairs. Also plenty of room to put a dog bed/crate in the living room. A real bonus was the field at the bottom of the garden which were allowed to exercise the dogs in. A fantastic holiday for both dogs and humans!

"This is a lovely cosy little cottage which is good value for money."
It is in a good location as a base for the Peak District (as long as you don't mind getting in the car). Very dog friendly, it was spacious and comfortable for my Husband, myself and our two dogs. There is a large field that can be used but this may be occupied by sheep as times.
What possibly let it down slightly was the shower, not very powerful and the head height could not be adjusted and the double bed was creaky and uncomfortable (also seemed smaller than a normal double). However, we understand that the more luxury the facilities, the more the price goes up! One improvement I would suggest for the owners would be to provide more local information in the cottage about nearest shops/supermarket, dog friendly pubs etc. As phone signal is poor and there is no wifi this would be most useful.
