“Loved our stay in this quaint cottage in Parwich.”

Excellent for walks and in particularly dogs, small playing fields less than a minute from the property for those who don’t want to venture to far. Luckily the weather was amazing so we took advantage of the local walks. Parking was limited at the property (2 cars max) but again the playing fields had amply parking for the rest of our party to park.

“We spent the weekend in this beautiful cottage.”

It was very comfortable and the owner who came out to meet us on our arrival was lovely and incredibly helpful. The village itself is picturesque and there are lots of lovely walks nearby. Our group consisted of four adults and five children ranging from 14 to 9 years old and this cottage suited us down to the ground. We hope to visit again as we didn't have enough time to properly explore the area and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage.

“What a delight.”

Excellent property, so comfortable with everything we could expect. We stayed in December and our hosts had set the heating to toastie. Lovely!

“Great cottage, well equipped.”

Towels, soap, toilet roll all provided. Nice village. Walks from the front door. Would definitely be happy to return.

- Mr Renshaw, July 2018
“The property sleeps 9, the only table to sit & eat together comfortably seats 6!”

The knives & kitchen equipment were a little old & blunt. We had to buy a new tin opener as the old one broke. There were only small towels left for us all & only one for the week. No spare bed linen even though children were staying. No welcome notes for recycling/bins/recommendations for the area. Although owner came to explain to us when we first arrived. The photographs were deceptive & made the property appear much bigger than it was in reality. Having said all of that it was clean, comfortable & in a beautiful location.

“Great Location to Explore the Peak District”

We stayed in this cottage recently as a group of four friends. This is a great cottage in the South East of the Peak District. Perfect location to be able to walk straight from the house. The house itself has beds to sleep 8, in 4 bedrooms. There are two double rooms, one single and one triple. One of the doubles has an ensuite and there is another communal bathroom upstairs. Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms were not particularly modern, bud did the job... even if the shower was a bit hit or miss! Downstairs there is a lounge with wood burning stove, a snug room, kitchen/ diner, a uility room with downstairs loo and a games room with a small snooker table in the garage. We had all the equipment we needed in the kitchen to be able to cook what we had planned. Outside there is parking for two cars, but plenty of space for more cars on the street. There is also a front garden which was lovely and peaceful. If you are wanting modern luxury this iss not it, however as a base for walkers it certainly does the job.

“A perfect family Birthday celebration”

We could not have found a better or more welcoming place for the whole family to celebrate my husbands' 70th birthday.We had a personal welcome from the owner who showed us all the facilities for our use, perfect for 6 adults,3 small grandchildren and new baby.The kitchen was extremely well equipped, the property very warm and cosy and the grandchildren loved having their own separate sitting room in which to play.A short walk away is the village pub where we received a very warm welcome for our celebration family meal, arranged to suit timing for the children.The pub also provides a shop for your daily needs. Our weekend passed all to quickly and we would love to return for a longer, more leisurely holiday.

“Our stay in this cottage for Christmas made a very special family get together”

Beautiful well equiped cosy cottage in an equally beautiful friendly village. Also village pub very welcoming and food very good value. Area perfect for dog walks.

“Fab location, beautiful house!”

We were met as soon as we arrived by the very friendly owner, she took us right round the property and told us about the surrounding area. The house is really well laid out with plenty of space for everyone. The utility room was really handy for dirty boots etc, and the games room went down a treat. Parwich is a beautiful little village, well located with plenty of walks and activities nearby. Thoroughly recommend this property.

“Lovely Cottage”

A beautiful cottage set in the very quiet village of Parwich about 7 miles from Ashbourne. The cottage is very well appointed with two good size double bedrooms one with en suite and two further bedrooms. The cottage says it sleeps 9, and there are 9 beds but personally i think this would be a bit of a tight squeeze. Kitchen is lovely with a new Oven and Microwave and a lovely big kitchen table that seats 6. There is also two lounges and a downstairs toilet which is always handy. Cottage is only a ten minute drive to the main Ashbourne to Buxton road so location is excellent, the village is very quiet with a church and more importantly a village pub, the pub itself is pretty basic with a limited food menu but ideal for a few pints. There is also a village shop located in the pub for those that have forgotten something ! The only negatives on the cottage, were that you are only supplied with one towel each by the owner, and when the weather is wet all week there is nowhere to dry your towel unless you want to put the heating on so it might be an idea to bring a spare! there is a BBQ at the property but it is in the boot shed around the side of the house, we werent told this on arrival and didnt find it until the last day, not that it mattered as it rained all week. The only other negative is that there is no wi-fi or internet access at the property and no phone signal in the village therefore if you are planning to keep up to date with emails or work etc then you might have a problem. Over all a lovely cottage ideal for a week getting away from it all.

“A very comfortable cottage to suit all ages within easy access of good walks and popular places to visit.”

I arranged a suprise weekend away at Orchard View for my husbands 60th Birthday with our children and our grandson. All of the rooms are very spacious and comfortable, with good parking . Our 17 month old grandson slept very well at the cottage and he really loved the Wendy House in the back garden. The owner was very helpful, giving me information about Orchard View, Parwich and also nearby surrounding areas. We visited the local Church and the Pub which serves food and has a shop within walking distance of Orchard View. There is a childrens playground opposite the pub.The people we met at Parwich were very friendly. A very successful 60th Birthday weekend. Everyone including Flo the dog thoroughly enjoyed their stay at Orchard View. Perfect!

“Perfect family break in stunning surroundings”

We stayed here after finding the cottage on Sykes Cottages. My main criteria was somewhere peaceful, dog friendly, baby friendly...and most of all, local to a good pub! The village is hidden in Derbyshire..and driving through you get the feeling that you are isolated from the world. We found the cottage, and dived inside to escape the rain. Xmas decorations were up, and cake was waiting for us. The wood fire was stocked ready to light (a lovely touch), and it felt like home from home straight away. All the bedrooms are lovely, my parents had the master room which was beautiful with exposed beams and fireplace. We had the 4 poster room, which gave plenty of room for our travel cot. The family & single rooms were also very comfortable and pretty. Off we trundled to the pub to await the rest of our party. A proper old local boozer, with friendly folk and a roaring fire. The atmosphere was highlighted by chaps from another village bursting into the pub to entertain us with a "panto" about George and the Dragon, and the beer guzzling horse. At least I think thats what it was....blame Mr. j. Daniels.... Phyliss the owner of the cottage called into the pub to greet us..a lovely touch, and I doubt there is anything that would be too much trouble for her to make your stay pleasurable. Dog walks a plenty, muddy boots a necessity. All in all..a wonderful memorable cottage for my Dads 60th birthday surprise get together.

“Great house to explore Peak District”

We were a party of 4 adults and 3 children (aged between 6 mths & 1 yr) and the house suited us perfectly. Plenty of room and a big enclosed garden. The rooms are all very good sizes and the house is in very good order. The village of Parwich is lovely with the pub & the village shop a couple of minutes away. Ashbourne is close by and is a lovely town to explore. All in all a brilliant place to stay.
