“Beautiful property,great hot tub and sauna.”

Only negative were the owners dogs, who wake you up in the morning with there barking, not super early but when your on holiday you want a lie in.also they are constantly hanging around the kitchen door wanting feeding and attention,great if your a dog owner but if not a bit too much

Mr Wagstaff September 2020

“Lovely stay in picturesque surroundings.”

The cottage was as expected as we stayed there many years ago. The only real drawback, particularly at night, is the access to the bathroom being through the main bedroom. We were aware of this and it is made clear in the information listed about the cottage. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful countryside setting, thank you.

Ms Wainwright June 2019

“Lovely location but quality/care of the Loft let it down.”

Kids loved feeding the horses and being able to roam in the hills. The kitchen wasn’t clean, splashback needed cleaning, dishes were left dirty in the dishwasher, only one dishwasher tablet, no dish cloth, no kitchen role, no hand wash....if going Make sure you take supplies. Jacuzzi lovely but looking at the mould whilst sitting in it wasn’t that relaxing. Saying that, huge space, loads if room for kids to play and plenty of space to spread out!

- Ms Wainwright, June 2019

Thank you for your feedback and please accept our apologies for the issues you encountered during your stay. Unfortunately our regular housekeeper was away and we are sorry our usual high standards appear to have slipped. If we had been made aware during your stay we would have rectified these issues for you immediately. We are glad you enjoyed the location and the children loved the horses. Sykes owner relations

Mrs Macdonald September 2018

“Amazing relaxing week spent in The Loft.”

It is a spacious comfortable characterful dog friendly property, with beautiful views and the added bonus of the hot tub, sauna and exclusive use of a gas BBQ. It’s a bit away from the nearest convenience store so we were glad that we had arranged a supermarket delivery on our arrival. Sharing the one bathroom through interconnecting bedrooms proved challenging at times, especially with a sleeping infant, but it didn’t spoil our break. Just something to be aware of. The local pub is a mile away and is closed on a Monday. Great local walks and despite the storms we successfully completed two of them. Andrew and Sue are very friendly relaxed and accommodating hosts. Thank you both for making us feel welcome and at home in your lovely property.

- Mrs Macdonald, September 2018

“BEST EVER CHRISTMAS”

This Christmas my parents booked this cottage in the peak district. To my amazement its situation was perfect for me as a climber, right near froggat and curber for climbing, i mean 5 mins fro the froggat parking! Te cottage was really lush, really comfy and warm. with a hot tub and sauna n the barn opposite i was so spoilt. the farm dogs were really friendly and it was lovely to see horses in the stables below (which do not keep you up at night. i can highly recommend this place for a stay.

All in all I can say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the accommodation and surroundings were beautiful and tranquil. I have wonderful memories of the occasion.

little-lisa-jane March 2015

“Ideal getaway with friends or familiy”

This was the ideal location with the perfect facilities for our annual girls get-together. Kitchen was the ideal hub for us to cook and catch up as well as the more relaxing upstairs lounge area. Lots of sleeping space and 'space' in the bedrooms generally. The hot tub and sauna were in a separate barn opposite the cottage and a great facility to have on the doorstep. Set up on a higher hill there were fantastic views from right outside the front door. Ample parking facilities and some lovely friendly horses in the barn below the cottage. Bakewell is just a short drive away and was lovely for a couple of hours bumbling round the quirky little shops. Highly recommend.

- little-lisa-jane, March 2015
Mrs Muxlow November 2014

“A stunning location, the use of the hot tub and sauna were great.”

The owners helpful when asked anything. Would recommend and would return given the opportunity.

- Mrs Muxlow, November 2014
Miss Tallant October 2014

“We had such a brilliant time.”

The owners were really friendly and gave us a warm welcome letting us know that if we needed anything we could go see them. The cottage was beautiful and so spacious especially for six 18 year olds. The only thing we could recommend (due to our vanity/makeup application) is a large mirror :) The jacuzzi and sauna were brilliant and we had them all to ourselves for the whole week which was great! Other than that... It was excellent :) Thank You to the owners x

- Miss Tallant, October 2014
Mr Wheaton July 2014

“fantastic location and lovely warm welcome”

we had a fantastic week made all the better for the warm welcome from the owners who called for our 3 children each morning to come and help feed the horses and tolerated our 2 year old throwing the stones from the driveway into the water trough!

Millthorpe is a small hamlet situated on a high peak between Bakewell and Sheffield, on the very edge of the Peak District National Park, and with commanding views of the Cordwell Valley. The hamlet is surrounded by undulating countryside and deep valleys, and is set amongst pretty villages made up of traditional old houses, interesting manors, village halls and old churches. There are many local amenities; the area boasts eight pubs and a number of fine restaurants, and is ideally located for exploring this interesting and beautiful area. Nearby, the impressive Damflask, Agden, Dale Dike and Ladybower dams make for an interesting afternoon's ramble, while the attractive village of Hathersage is also within easy reach, thought to be the inspiration for Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and home to a selection of shops, pubs and inviting eateries, and a lovely outdoor lido.
