“Beautifully converted farm building.”

Very well appointed with everything you would need . A really good shower thank goodness and a comfortable bed. A welcome pack was also included.All in all very satisfied. The owners are really nice people and were very welcoming. No hesitation in returning here when we can and have already recommended it to family and friends.

Mr Burnage May 2021

“The cottage is lovely; very cosy and warm and very well equipped.”

Wendy made us very welcome and provided wine, eggs, milk, tea coffee and biscuits for us to enjoy. The area is beautiful with some very good walks in the immediate area. Weekends seem to be very busy in Buxton & Bakewell but are quieter during the week, we are told. A very enjoyable stay in every way.

- Mr Burnage, May 2021
Mrs Croft October 2020

“A beautiful cottage set in a lovely area with stunning views.”

Our host did everything to make our stay enjoyable. The dogs enjoyed their holiday too.

- Mrs Croft, October 2020
Mr Tribe October 2020

“To be honest everything was just as we expected it to be.”

The host was very welcoming and informative. Facilities were excellent and the laundry room a real bonus for washing, drying off wet boots and walking gear. If we were being really picky....and we are because the Collecting Yard was exceptional accommodation.....we found the sofa and arm chair weren't as cosy or comfortable as they could be but that was because everything else was perfect.

- Mr Tribe, October 2020

Thank you for your great feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay at Collecting Yard. We have now actually replaced the arm chair and sofa with 2 x 2 seating sofas. Thank you. Sykes owner relations

Mrs Foad February 2020

“Beautiful little hideaway.”

Scrumptiously clean with a fabulously comfy bed. The owners were absolutely adorable. We arrived late to a pre -lit fire ,warm, and cosy with a lovely welcome pack of wine, eggs and milk. Walks close by in the Dove valley were idyllic as our old dog cannot manage styles anymore,or if you drive a little way, there are an abundance of other walks in this very pretty part of Derbyshire, notably Curbar edge and Froggatt edge. This is a sheer delight for all ages and we highly recommend this gem of a cottage.

- Mrs Foad, February 2020
Ms Houghton January 2020

“Very rare to find such a lovely place that welcomes two dogs as ours are very well behaved but most places only allow one.”

- Ms Houghton, January 2020
Mrs Bassett January 2020

“The Collecting Yard is a beautiful barn conversion in a peaceful setting.”

All facilities and amenities have been thought of for a relaxing stay. The cottage was warm and cosy thanks to Wendy lighting the log burner prior to our arrival and its underfloor heating meant it stayed comfortable throughout. An extra basket of logs was provided and milk, fresh eggs, some biscuits and wine were a welcome gify. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need and there is a very nice shower room and really comfortable king sized bed. We would definitely like to have a return visit.

- Mrs Bassett, January 2020
Mr Kirkman January 2020

“Our break was booked last minute and we couldn’t believe what a fantastic cottage we stayed in wish we had longer than an extended weekend it was so comfortable & beautifully renovated with all modern appliances.”

So much to do in Derbyshire lots of fantastic dog walks but most were cut short due to January weather but found respite in numerous dog friendly pubs in the area we didn’t even mind coming back early to the cottage to sit by it’s cosy log burner and read. What was lovely too the owner contacted us before our arrival to confirm times and had the fire lit on our arrival in addition a lovely welcome pack was left for us too. We would highly recommend this cottage it’s location is perfect and on a beautiful day I bet the views would be amazing we were there with not so good weather but didn’t spoil the experience due to the comfortable accommodation. The host was very welcoming too & was happy for us to contact her if we needed any help etc but everything was so perfect we didn’t need to disturb them.

- Mr Kirkman, January 2020
Miss Paddick December 2019

“Amazing cottage very modern but with a perfect country vibe, so clean with everything you could need for a short or long trip!”

Good location nearest shop about 15 minute drive and loads of great walks close. Hosts were great and made sure we have everything we needed. Had a laundry room opposite our cottage to dry off our wet clothes after a country walk! Would definitely stay again or recommend

- Miss Paddick, December 2019
Mr Hicklin December 2019

“What a gem!”

Fantastic location,finished to a very high spec with very friendly & helpful hosts Peter & Wendy.Would definitely recommend.

- Mr Hicklin, December 2019
Ms Apen October 2019

“My daughter and I spent a fabulous five days at the Collecting Yard.”

Unfortunately we couldn't manage the full week as we'd booked, due to other commitments. I messaged Wendy about this and she was very helpful and accommodating, and was happy to welcome us on a different time and day. The log burner was going on arrival making us feel extra cosy. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I was particularly happy with the entrance porch space, perfect for leaving towels and facilitating paw wiping. I saw Wendy every day, she was very friendly and helpful, but never intrusive. The location is wonderful, so quiet. We particularly enjoyed driving through picturesque villages on our way to walks in the Manifold Valley, Dovedale and Ilam. Good National Trust tearoom at Ilam Park.

- Ms Apen, October 2019
Mrs Lambeth October 2019

“The cottage was beautiful.”

Having a dog we have stayed in some very nice places but this was definitely the best Cottage we have stayed at. Wendy and Peter were the perfect hosts, we could not have asked for more. The donkeys were lovely. Audrey Lambeth

- Mr Bruton, September 2019
Mr Musson September 2019

“Collecting Yard cottage was superb, warm, supremely comfortable, very well equipped and extremely stylish - perfect!”

The view from the cottage was breath taking, the general area is beautifully scenic - hilly too, such a contrast to our home in Suffolk! I recommend the cottage highly, we received a very warm welcome from the owners, too.

- Mr Musson, September 2019
Mr Bevins August 2019

“A very relaxing break, views to die , for love the donkeys, Jess the dog, great for, beautiful walks, we stayed in the collectors yard, absolutely spot on, everything was very clean, and very comfortable.”

Wendy the owner couldn’t do enough for you and made us feel very welcome, with Betsy our rescue dog. Definitely recommend.

- Mr Bevins, August 2019
Mrs Torr July 2019

“This cottage has been beautifully converted to make excellent accommodation for two people.”

We were extremely comfortable and everything we needed was provided. Wendy, the owner was also most helpful. The views from the cottage are extensive and it is in a very peaceful area. We really enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and felt very relaxed at the end of our week. I would highly recommend this cottage and in addition there are two other cottages in the same courtyard, both of the same high standard.

- Mrs Torr, July 2019

An excellent location to visit all the places in both Staffordshire and Derbyshire. The cottage was very dog friendly with a beautiful garden for our dog to explore. We would highly recommend visiting this newly modernised barn conversion.

- Mrs Fitzharris, June 2019
Mr Hornby June 2019

“The Collecting Yard exceeds your expectations from the information on listing.”

Inside the cottage is perfect, light, airy and comfortable, the generous welcome pack included everything you needed and more. Outside the cottage had its own private lawn area, seating, great views and farm yard animals surrounding. We loved the donkeys and they were so friendly. Wendy made us feel welcome. The location is good; plenty to do in the surrounding areas, great dog walks and walking on your doorstep. We had a great time and have already booked for next year.

- Mr Hornby, June 2019
Mr Pitt June 2019

“We had an amazing stay at the Collecting Yard.”

The cottage is amazing, inside is finished to a very high standard with everything you need and outside the cottage is beautiful with a private lawn area, seating, great views and farm yard animals surrounding. Including the donkeys! Wendy and her husband cannot do enough to make you feel at home and have an enjoyable stay. The location is great for all local market towns and sites. Plenty of local pubs and shops only a short journey away. We took our dog and it was a great safe location and cottage. We will be back for another break
