“We had such a great holiday at Highfields Barn.”

Fabulous escape for a week from the normal rush of life. The Barn facilities were excellent and nothing we personally could add or change. Leading up contact with Kate made arrival and finding our way easy. Kate Nev and Lottie Oscar are such lovely people. Working hard to keep farming alive so we could enjoy the experience for our week and nothing any trouble , they are pleased for 'you' to be there. They gave us some history of the farm , which made us realise how hard it was and is , I won't spoil in this now but just enjoy on your visit .Herdwick rams just over the track to keep us company , wonderful. We had such a brill time around the region , lots of places to go , explore and see in a tight mileage radius from the barn . We hadn't visited the area before , but we will certainly be back , and at the 'barn'. We will be passing on our good time to family and friends. Many thanks Phil & Lynda

“What a fabulous property Highfields Barn is, wonderful views from the barn surrounded by sheep and cattle .”

We enjoyed our stay very much the Barn is very comfortable and tastefully furnished and in peaceful surroundings and the owners Kate and Nev are super friendly. We highly recommend Highfields Barn and will definitely return if we return to this area for a holiday .

- Mrs Bond, August 2018
“Such a wonderful but short stay at this gorgeous barn but I am so glad we discovered it.”

We had such a lovely warm welcome from Kate and her husband on arrival and the barn was full of so many nice little touches including a welcome basket and fresh flowers. This visit was for work purposes but we definately plan to return as soon as we can for a longer stay. Such a special place and we loved the drive along the track past the sheep on our way to the barn!

- Mrs Williams, August 2018
“The photos on this website do not do this cottage justice.”

We stayed here for a week with our 7 month baby, and nothing was too much trouble. Kate had kindly provided and set up a decent sized travel cot and a high chair. Very welcoming hosts. Was great not to have phone reception for a week, total respite from the crazy world we live in! Although wifi is provided for connecting with the outside world! The ONLY niggle would be the lack of shower pressure and piping hot water that we're used to (but this certainly did not take away from our lovely summer break).

- Mrs Georgiou, July 2018
“This was a wonderful cottage, we were both delighted to have found it.”

Kate and Nev have worked very hard indeed to produce a very comfortable and well appointed barn conversion. The setting is very peaceful, with beautiful scenery. The cottage is very well placed for excursions to Bakewell, Leek and Buxton, there is also plenty of information in the cottage for local attractions, there are pubs and places to eat within a short drive, we are re-booking for our next trip as we enjoyed the cottage so much.

Lovely location,nice and quiet,the barn was very clean and well equipped,welcome pack,a nice touch,you know what standard of holiday your going to have with Sykes,a Thank you to Kate and nev for making us feel at home Jeff and sheila

- Mr Stone, June 2018
“Very comfortable accommodation and an excellent location for great country walks (lots of maps and info' provided).”

Kate and Nev were very welcoming, friendly and interesting to talk to. We echo all the positive comments posted previously regarding the accommodation. We have recommended Highfields Barn to our family (who have already booked for later this year). We can see ourselves returning in future. This is the first time that we have used Sykes Cottages and, if this cottage is anything to go by, we will certainly be using them again.

- Mr Page, June 2018
“What a wonderful barn, location and family who own it.”

Amazing views so tranquil. The barn was immaculate and has been lovingly restored to such a high standard it's like home from home. Kate and Nev are lovely and are more than happy to help if you need any and they have so many interesting stories to tell about the farm. All in all a fantastic week at Highfields barn and if we could have we would have stayed longer. Thank you again Kate & Nev and a quick hello to Meg their lovely collie. Nicki and Riff.

- Mrs Roythorne, June 2018
“Highfield Barn is very possibly the best place we have ever stayed in - there was nothing that had not been thought of - this is a wonderful location especially if you like peace and quiet - only the seep to talk to.”

Kate, Nev and the chidren are lovely people who really welcomed us to their farm - the close up contact with the lambs was beyond adoreable and of course not forgetting Mag the dog she was so friendly. We would give Highfield Barn 20 out of 10.

- Mr Robinson, April 2018
“This was our second visit to the barn and we received a lovely warm welcome from the owners Kate and Nev, the welcome pack even included gluten free biscuits which they'd kindly remembered from our first visit :-) The barn is perfect; the bed is really comfortable great for a long lie in, we loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom, the spacious & cosy living room and large well equipped kitchen.”

We took the opportunity to sample the lamb from the farm which was delivered to the door and was some of the best we'd ever tasted. There is plenty of information about local amenities, places to visit and OS maps provided allowing us to plan trips out from the comfort of the sofa in front of the warming woodburning stove. The barn is situated in a beautiful area with some great walks right from the doorstep and is ideally placed to visit the lovely market towns of Leek and Bakewell. We are already planning our next trip as there is so much more to see and do. Highly recommend this holiday barn.

- Miss Housley, March 2018
“It was one of the most relaxing breaks we've had.”

Highfields barn was so warm&cosy &welcoming with the log burner. The kitchen is well equipped &has all that you need.you can tell the owners take deep pride in there holiday home.as its always spotlessly clean.i was enjoy the welcome goodies..a big thankyou to kate.

- Mrs Newell, March 2018
“Marvellous”

Second visit to this cottage,again not disappointed. The cottage is well equipped for a weeks holiday,also a welcome pack when you arrive tea,coffee milk etc. The cottage is on a working sheep farm with stunning views all around,away from the madding crowd but still only 15 mins drive from shops etc. The wood burner is great for cosy nights on the sofa. The road up to the farm is a bit bumpy,if there's snow recommend 4wheel drive or snow chains(which Nev provides ) if you haven't got any,or if the weather turns for the worse while your there,which sometimes it does. Don't let that put you off though,Nev or Kate will be on hand to get you to and from the cottage if weathers bad. The owners Kate and Nev greet you with a warm welcome,they are also on hand if you need anything. They sell their own lamb off the farm,I do suggest folks try it,it is beautiful lamb,and the lamb and mint sausage is that nice I brought the lot. We will be returning again this year. All in all this cottage is absolutely fantastic,a home from home. 10/10......HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COTTAGE....

“What a beautiful cottage done out to high standards.”

Well equipped kitchen,good central heating, comfortable bed, supply of towels. We were catered for in every way in this self serving, self contained cottage. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners to accommodate our needs. From giving us a wonderful welcome with a personal greeting when we arrived ,to advise on how to negotiate the snow covered track. Even help to get us unstuck in the snow if needed. The added touches such as the wine and biscuits. The extensive wealth of information on the surrounding area and history of the farm. The little extras such as delivering extra wood and lamb chops to our door. The amazing 360 deg scenery from the cottage, the stillness of nature. We will definitely go back and can 200% recommend this cottage to any couple needed a romantic retreat.

- Mrs Olivier, February 2018
“We had a lovely restful stay at Highfields barn.”

The barn conversion has been lovingly completed by the owners to a very high standard and has absolutely everything you could need for an extremely comfortable stay, the photos on the website really don't do it justice. The kitchen has everything from a peeler to a rolling pin you have all the equipment to cook a banquet! The owners Kate and Nev have thought of everything from OS maps to literature on places to visit, and provided a lovely welcome pack with biscuits jams and wine (I enjoyed the honey on my porridge!). We had snow when we visited but the barn was lovely and warm. We do not have a 4x4 vehicle and due to the snow there was no way of getting up the driveway to get out when it was time to leave, all of this was sorted out by Nev who came home from work, fitted snow socks to our vehicle which allowed us to very easily drive up the driveway with him following. Snow socks are amazing!!! although the weather looked beautiful it was not good to get out walking in so we missed doing that, so we will be visiting again to go to some of the lovely places pictured in frames on the walls in the barn. Thank you Kate and Nev for providing such great accommodation we look forward to seeing you again in better weather :)

- Mr Mclaughlin, February 2018
“Fantastic”

Spent a week in Highfields barn,absolutely fantastic place,a home from home,stunning barn as well as the views...the owners(Kate and Nev) are really great friendly people,always on hand to help or just for a chat,even though they are busy on their farm... The barn is well equipped with everything you will need weather it's a weekend away or a week. Even though the barn is set in the middle of nowhere(lovely) shops,pub etc are not far away....we didn't want to come home,we will definitely be going back.

“Lovely location and beautiful barn conversion!”

Kate is a very attentive host with superb attention to detail and fantastic interpersonal skills, she created a home away from home and we did not want to leave! Can't wait to come back for a longer stay next year, we loved every minute we were there. Perfect weekend away and just what the doctor ordered!

- Miss Goode, November 2017
“Beautiful cottage located in a beautiful setting.”

Surprised the wife with a weekend getaway and the owners (Kate and Nev) went over and beyond with welcome gift for my wifes birthday (brownie points for me, ta). Cosy log fire but plenty of space. No noise pollution and situated in the middle of nowhere (local amenities nearby though) Recommend for those wanting to escape normal life for a few days!

- Mr Cummins, November 2017
“Highfields barn was a "wow" in all respects.”

It is very comfortable and well equipped,and the views are superb.There are walks from the front door,and it could not be beaten for a quiet and peaceful get away

- Mr Sickler, September 2017
“We really enjoyed our stay at Highfields Barn which was a comfortable and very well appointed property.”

We had not stayed in this area of the country before and unfortunately the weather was not conducive to doing many local walks; the one we did down to the local pub was very enjoyable (apart from the 20 minutes on return leg that we had to shelter from heavy downpour!). The pub at Thorncliffe provided extremely good food. We visited 6 or 7 nearby National Trust properties which were very interesting and also the National Stone Centre (who would have thought there were more than a dozen different styles of Dry-Stone Wall. The reason we would not rebook this property is because of the location, simply because we rarely visit the same area of the country more than once. The write up is correct that the access track does require a sturdy vehicle as almost half a mile of it is unmade and somewhat bumpy; the first half is tarmac. Thank you to Kate for warm welcome and letting us experience your cosy barn conversion.

- Mrs Smith, September 2017
“Owners very welcoming beautiful surroundings with an abundance of wildlife.”

Buy some meat from the farm, very tasty. You may experience a 'face off' with sheep on the track, don't let them win they may end up ruling the world, or has this already happened!!! Good luck Kate and Nev with future projects.

- Mrs Mayer, August 2017
“My husband and I loved our stay.”

The Barn was beautiful and we couldn't help but commend Nev for his workmanship and as a couple you can see Kate's hand in everything too.Their attention to detail was fantastic, couldn't fault anything. The welcome hamper was 5* way above what is expected so a big thank you to Kate for that too. I usually take lots of extras (bits & bobs) that I always need/want on holiday, but each time I opened cupboards or draws, I would exclaim to my hubby "I don't believe it, there's one here!" Very Victor Meldrew. But it shows how Kate's gone to the nth degree to make sure you have all you need. We adored the area, had a lovely walk through the fields with Kate & her son Oscar and were so thrilled when his hand reared lamb saw him and ran over to play. Bliss! The area is outstanding and we visited lots of places and pub restaurants for meals. The icing on the cake for both of us was, the history of the farm, Len Wards Book and DVD is heart rending and so worthwhile reading/watching, it was an unexpected highlight of our holiday as well as Kate & Nevs own pictorial record of the rebuilding of the Barn. I really, don't know how they do it all! A lovely family and very talented with Lottie making little things out of the fleeces from their sheep. I know lots of people say they "arrived as strangers but left as friends" in our case that is so very true, we are hoping for another holiday there in he next few weeks but, I'm guessing the Barn will be fully booked, but hope not, if so, there's always next year. Many, many thanks for a fab holiday.

- Mrs Cooper, July 2017
“Yes the holiday was great because the weather was brilliant.”

The icing one the cake was the friendly family Kate Nev Oscar and Lottie who really looked after us so well. We went on plenty of walks just on the door step. The holiday was very relaxing would recommend. Thanks again.

- Mr Penney, July 2017
“Highfields Barn is an exceptional barn conversion, ideally suited for a warm and comfortable holiday stay in a beautiful location, very quiet, with wonderful rural views.”

Our holiday experience was also enhanced by the friendly and helpful owners.

- Mr Rohard, July 2017

“This was the most perfect holiday, weather was great, lovely walks and things to do in the area and we cannot fault Highfields Barn, it was just amazing, and Nev and Kate and family made us feel so welcome, we couldn't ask for anything more!”

- Mrs Hazell, June 2017
“Nev and Kate were the most welcoming helpful people you could wish to meet.”

Nothing is too much trouble. The property is beautiful ,well equipped with wonderful views. The location is very peaceful. You would be hard pushed to find a better place. Highly recommend this property.

- Mr Whale, June 2017
“Excellent and very comfortable base with a great welcome from the owners.”

Ideal location for relaxing, walking, cycling or exploring all the Peak District and Derbyshire Dales have to offer. Dove Dale, Ilam Park,,Lyme Hall and the Millenium Bridge at New Mills. Kedlestone Hall, Kinder, Edale and the Dark Peak .Snake Pass and the Derwent Reservoir, Chatsworth House, Buxton, Bakewell, Castleton, to name name a few. Even if the weather is a little wet and windy you can explore Gladstone Pottery Museum in Stoke on Trent which is well worth the trip

- Mr Rees, June 2017
“Yes, it is situated in a great place for walking and peace and quiet.”

The owners made us very welcome when we saw them on our arrival and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The cottage was of a very high spec and we wanted for nothing. In a good position to visit places of interest, Buxton, Bakewell and Chatsworth, just to name a few. The sheep and cows were friendly also.

- Mr James, May 2017
“We have been going to Sykes holiday cottages for more than 15 years all over the UK.”

We found this holiday cottage to be the cleanest and best equipped by far of all the cottages we have stayed in. The location was spectacular and the fact that the owners shared all the history of the place with us made it very interesting. The family were warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The owner built a dry stone wall with such skill it was a pleasure to see it finished and her husband had finished all the wood work in the barn with perfect skill. Feeding baby lambs was an added bonus. We enjoyed going to the little villages in the area and the scenery was stunning. A very enjoyable break and we will definitely go back.

- Mrs Digby, May 2017
“Get away from it all”

Highfields barn is just perfect for some time away from it all. The location is beautiful, the accommodation has been finished to a very high standard and is well equipped. Kate and Nev have put a lot of work and love into this and it shows. This was our second visit and we will definitely be visiting again in the not too distant future

“The barn was warm cosy spotless and comfortable.”

We had a very warm welcome from the owners. Plenty of pubs within a few miles serving good quality home made food. Excellent choice for a quiet, get away from it all break.

- Mrs Davis, April 2017
“We had a wonderful holiday, Kate, Nev and the cottage were absolutely brilliant.”

Would love to go back again in the future.

- Mr Diggle, April 2017
“On top of the world.”

What a fantastic find. Kate and Nev made us feel so welcome in their 17th century converted barn. Views from the barn and surrounding areas were stunning in all directions. We enjoyed a relaxing and cosy Easter break and even witnessed the birth of a lamb at the farm. What a special moment that was. Plenty of good pubs around serving lovely meals. Will definitely be back.

“We had yet another fantastic holiday at Highfields barn, such a amazing place to stay has everything you need and more so comfy and very relaxing.”

Views are out of this world, lots of beautiful walks in the lovely Peak District, owners are so lovely. Would recommend to anyone. Will definitely be returning very soon we love it.

- Ms Willetts, March 2017
“Our second visit to this beautiful barn.”

If you want a "get away from it all" break then this is the one for you.

- Mr Jones, March 2017
“This was our third visit to the barn in 12 months.”

We will be going back again because it has every thing we look for in self catering accommodation. The owners are lovely but not intrusive. It's really becoming our home from home!

- Mrs Mann, March 2017
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage was of a very high standard, immaculately clean & wonderfully decorated.”

Our hosts were very friendly & nothing was too much trouble. We tried their Lamb produced on the farm & it was delicious. Would highly recommend Highfields Barn & would love to return again in the future.

- Mr Piper, December 2016
“During the booking process Yasmin was great in providing us with additional information in order to complete the booking.”

The cottage was amazing - the perfect spot to celebrate Christmas. It had all the amenities needed to make the stay comfortable and was better in real life than what was expected after looking at the pictures. The setting is beautiful and peaceful and we will definitely try to visit again in the summer.

- Mrs Woensdregt, December 2016
“What a beautiful cosy property.”

A hidden gem in a picturesque location. If I could live here I would. Would recommend to everyone. Owners were so lovely and made our stay even better.

- Miss Ledner, November 2016
“This is the first time we have used Sykes Cottages and the value for money was fantastic.”

The family who own the barn were very friendly on arrival and everything you would need for a stay was there. The cottage was immaculate and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

- Mr Liggett, November 2016
“Beautiful location, accommodation finished to a very high standard.”

Perfect for a bit of peace and quiet!

- Mr Jones, October 2016
“If you are looking for a fantastic property, refurbished to a very high standard and in a secluded picturesque setting this is the place!”

We only spent 2 nights at Highfields Barn, but it is definitely a property to revisit, and hopefully next time for longer. The location is perfect for walking and although far enough away from main roads to enjoy the peace and quiet, there are easy links to the local towns and the local pub is highly recommended for food, although booking essential as its very popular. Thank you Kate and family for a perfect weekend.

- Mr Hopkins, October 2016
“Second time staying here.”

Has everything we needed and more. Owners lovely and helpful but not pushy. Views from barn are beautiful.

- Mr Mann, September 2016
“A lovely holiday barn, well laid out and comfortable.”

Wonderful views over Staffordshire moorlands. Good heating system on chilly nights. Wonderful cooker! Well provided kitchen. Long driveway (1 mile) but we were prepared for it. A really great place to say. Delighted. Excellent access to the Peak District, close to the Roaches for walking etc. Could not be better. Owner friendly and welcoming. Access details clear and easy to follow on arrival.
