• "Orchard view is a lovely, homely holiday cottage which comfortably housed our family group of 7 plus a dog."

  On a cold, snowy weekend, the cottage was warm and cozy. All bedrooms were extremely comfortable. Set in the picturesque village of Parwich, with an excellent pub within easy walking distance, I would definitely recommend Orchard View for a great break.

• "We have just returned from a very enjoyable stay at Orchard View cottage and have scored it highly."

  We can't understand the very recent review which stated "the cottage was not clean" etc. We had a very happy stay and are keen to go there again. The owner Phylis was very nice and helpful.

• "The cottage was not clean."

  A thick layer of dust covered many surfaces. Long spiders’ webs dangled from ceilings. The frying pan and oven trays had food and grease stuck on and had to be scrubbed and put through an intensive clean in the dishwasher. Bedding. Polyester cotton, and towels, were old and tired. The white bath mats were dingy grey. A loose sheet was put on between the duvet cover and bed sheet in the main bedroom. Why? Had the cover not been changed? The ironing board was disgusting and the mop too unhygienic to use. Extractor fan dripping grease. Both should be humanely destroyed. It felt like we spent a week in a house furnished from a house clearance, in spite of considerable rental cost. The welcome item was a packet of Aldi biscuits. Minimal investment but high return for the owner. Lovely village and pub but very unhappy with this house. We have had several Sykes cottages over the last 18 months and delighted with all, until this. I took photos on arrival of all of above.

  We are sorry that you were unhappy with your stay, we work very hard, and a lot of time and effort goes into the property. We try to endeavour to make sure that our guests enjoy their visit. Property Owner

  The accommodation is of a traditional style, which is perfect for the location with lovely wooden beams and a log fire. The bedrooms were a good size for 3 families getting together.

• "Lovely, enclosed garden which was perfect for our young Labrador with plenty of public walks on the doorstep."

  Close to the village pub which offered a warm welcome and served nice food. Perfectly situated to explore the Peak district. The owner went 'the extra mile' and still came out to greet us and ensure that the lights were switched on, so we weren't fumbling around in the dark when road work delayed our arrival by several hours.

• "It was an amazing stay!"

  The cottage had a very cosy feel to it, and all the basics we needed. There was plenty of crockery! We had lovely weather for the barbeque. All of the bedrooms were great! There were lots of leaflets on local days out (if you hadn't planned before coming). Lots of small bits and pieces that really make you feel welcome! I'd highly recommend this as a place to stay! The only minor drawback, was the WIFI not quite reaching the room with the king size bed (with the en suite). Didn't have a mobile network connection from there either (on Three's network).

• "We all had a fabulous time at the cottage."

  The weather was amazing so we sat in the garden most of the time. The kids enjoyed the games room pool and mini snooker, the cottage had everything you needed we couldn't fault a thing. The owner and her daughter we excellent nothing was too much trouble I would recommend Orchard Cottage to anyone without hesitation. We loved Parwich and the local pub The Sycamore Inn served the best Sunday lunch we've had in a long time.

  . Comfortable , everything you could possibly need for a lovely stay in this sleepy little unspoilt village .. I would come back again and again but not through Sykes, only through the owner , I found them totally unhelpful and unreasonable.. we personally spoke to the lady who owned it who couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating, but as we had booked through Sykes it was them we had to deal with … never again we will be booking a cottage through them .. you will receive a. E. Mail regarding our complaint with how you handled our booking ….

• "Despite awful weather we had a fabulous time at Orchard View."

  The cottage is warm and very comfortable with everything we needed. The owners were extremely helpful coming out at very short notice in wild weather to deliver more logs for the wood burner. Parwich is a beautiful village with an excellent pub serving delicious high quality food. Despite the weather we were still able to enjoy the walking straight from the cottage to Bassington and Tissington. We highly recommend Orchard View for a family meet up in the Peak District.

• "The owner, Phyllis gave us a warm welcome to the cottage and assured us she was available if we had any problems."

  Our first impression of the cottage was that it was a little tired and dated. However it was a good size and as a party of 6 adults we found it very spacious with excellent wifi. Beds were very comfy and the heating and hot water system was excellent. Parwich is a lovely village, well worth a visit and the local pub was very welcoming. Overall we all felt the cottage would benefit from some updating but we enjoyed our week and would recommend Orchard View.

  The cottage is spotlessly clean and the facilities are excellent. In addition, the peaceful village of Parwich is ideal, with plenty of opportunity to walk and explore.The local pub serves very good meal and is just a few minutes' walk from the cottage.

  There was no itineray left only a small piece of paper stuck to the inside of a kitchen cupboard letting you know where doctors,vets,shop and the opening times for the local pub were as the shop was in the pub so if you didnt open this door then you wouldnt know also a note to say you had to pay for any breakages.

  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.

  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.
