"Beautiful cottage."
Lovely location. Will definitely recommend to friends and family

"The fact that the enclosed garden is detached from the property should be made clearer in the amenities listing so you are aware at first glance."
Very misleading.
The "few steps to the garden" are extremely steep and narrow the gate opens outwards so you are balancing on the top step when trying to open gate.
The sofa throws were covered in hair from previous dogs, we took our own and washed the cottage ones. Throws should be changed between lets.
Previous occupants had not washed 3 saucepans, again these should be checked.
Parking is not easy, residents block spaces with traffic cones.
The cottage is on a busy road (throughout week days) sleeping with bedroom window open meant waking early 5.30, due to this.
Noise from quarry and heavy lorries going by regularly.
Good walks from door, comfortable bed and sofas
Kitchen well-equipped but a large bowl with serving spoons for salad/pasta is needed.

"Arrived after 4."
30pm as requested, as property being cleaned & prepped due to our day before booking. Cleaning issues - Floor dust / not cleaned behind furniture. Oven not cleaned - greasy & smelt when turned on so not able to use. Garden access issue - garden is accessed from steep stone steps which were difficult to use, as the shrubs next to the steps were overgrown. Cottage advertising info - there was no mention about the 24 hour machinery & truck noise from the nearby cement works, so sitting outside expecting rural country peace was hindered.
Outside of the above issues we loved the comfort provided in the cottage.

"Terrific cottage."
Looks small from the outside, but inside is spacious enough for four adults to live happily. Very well equipped throughout, large TV, comfy sofas, comfy beds, great shower, super warm and cosy. We loved our stay. Would I go back? Well I love being in a village that you can walk from and back to the pub, before returning to the cottage. Unfortunately due to its location, this isn’t possible. But if you don’t mind driving, then it’s an excellent base.

"Just. Simply."
Marvellous. Like a hug from a holiday let. Fabulous setting, a stones throw away from brilliant sights and experiences and offers all the comforts of home. Wonderful walks, very friendly neighbours and visiting Buxton was a delight.
The accommodation itself is well arranged and the facilities considered and more than adequate, even for a family stay.
We stayed for a month and could have stayed much, much longer. Very attentive hosts and great for our little furry friends. Really, really looking forward to returning as soon as we can. Thank you so much Owen and family. We are so happy with our stay.

"A lovely comfortable homely cottage with everything you could ask for."
Great area for exploring the beautiful surrounding towns and villages. Would recommend having a car. The neighbours are very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely come again. Thanks for everything

"After the first night I complained to you about the car parking outside this house: reference A69B6-21-EN, which soured our opinion of this property from the start."
However, that aside, the property was small, but clean and quite well equipped. Nevertheless, we found the immediate area disappointing, with dull, scruffy, uninteresting countryside and boring towns; we had to travel further afield to find things of interest. Unfortunately, after four days we received a message about our granddaughter being ill and decided to return home, so this won't go down as a particularly good holiday for us.
Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. There is on street car parking as stated, I'm sorry you felt as though you weren't able to park there. The property is in the countryside, with lots of lovely walks, interesting nearby towns, and plenty of attractions to visit, we are also sorry the area was not what you expected. I hope your
granddaughter is well. Property Owner

"This property was brilliant, we visited as two couples and two dogs."
The house was bigger than it seemed in the pictures and lovely and modern. The location of the property is great. Very close to buxton and other popular areas for visiting. Only thing to mention is the parking is on the road but this wasnt an issue for us as we managed to park right outside and the garden is not off the backdoor. You need to cross a track to get to the garden. It is not enclosed so if letting dogs out they will need to be watched.

"The cottage itself was lovely, all very modern and everything was there which was required."
It was in an excellent location being just 10 minutes away from Buxton. The owners went the extra mile leaving some milk and chocolates for us which was a lovely surprise. The experience with Sykes cottages was very good, very organised and easy. Can highly recommend and would use again.

"Lovely and cosy."
Plenty of amenities which were brand new and kept in good condition, very good to cook own meals.
Walks from the front doorstep and close to drive to shops and pubs.
The residents were very unhappy if you park on the road as specified you can (in front of their houses) even though it is a public road. So only park in front of the cottage or on the grass verge further down to avoid any problems.
