“Friendly owners next door if we needed anything, lovely setting and everything you need for a comfortable stay, little extras made it special.”

- Mrs Cane, August 2020
Dr Riley August 2020

“Lovely cottage in a great place.”

Owners on site and friendly and helpful, The only thing I would add is some summer weight duvets. It was exceptionally hot whilst we were there, but the duvets provided would have been lovely at Christmas!! Other than that, exactly as advertised

Mrs Whyborn July 2020

“The holiday was wonderful.”

Cottage completely up to expectations but following a request to change cottage with plenty of opportunity for owner to re-let I was very disappointed with your reaction. Following this during lockdown Sykes failed to keep contact with options, I had to find out for myself. At no time was a refund offered but, fortunately, I managed to adjust personnel arrangements and re-book (at a higher rate) I understand that you have now changed your policy but not in time for myself.

- Mrs Whyborn, July 2020

Thank you for taking the time to review Robin Cottage, it's lovely to hear you had an enjoyable stay. I'm sorry to hear you feel let down by Sykes we really appreciate your time to provide constructive feedback. If there is anything further you would like to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact us. Many Thanks Sykes owner relations

“It was just a lovely holiday.”

The holiday cottage was great and we had a lovely time. We were a little bit nervous about the COVID-19 situation and whether that and the related measures in place would detract from our holiday experience - but it didn't, we found everyone to be friendly, helpful and supportive (both at Sykes Cottages, the owners of the holiday let, and the the local restaurants). Excellent holiday all round, and wish we were back there now!

Mr Mount March 2020

“Just come back from a lovely week at Robin Cottage.”

Had a very relaxing time with the rolling views of the surrounding countryside, and some great local walks (Manifold Track, Tissington Trail and Monsal Trail are all within striking distance) The cottage is very well equipped and provides all you might need for a home from home for a time. The owners live in the B&B next door are are both lovely, friendly people so stop for a chat with them. We would definitely recommend Robin Cottage and would happily stay again.

“This was our second visit to Robin Cottage.”

It is a great base for visiting Staffordshire and the Peak District. It is a very warm and cosy property furnished with everything you need, and has a secure garden for the dogs. The owners are lovely and always available if needed. We also enjoyed the treats left for us - Christmas Cake, biscuits and mulled wine - and the very handy milk.

“Perfect Cottage”

What a fabulous weekend staying at Robin Cottage. The best cottage we’ve stopped in - so cosy and warm but also so well equipped. Ticks all the boxes. Louise and Darren are lovely and helped us with everything that we needed. We even sampled the great b&b breakfast. We couldn’t have wished for any more. Thanks one again.

Moorland View Farm Cottages

These two cosy cottages are located in a courtyard in the grounds of the owner’s B&B in the small hamlet of Winkhill, set in an elevated position in five acres overlooking stunning countryside near the market towns of Leek and Ashbourne. The cottages are a lovely conversion of traditional Staffordshire stone buildings, blending original features and modern styling with exposed beams. Outside, both cottages have beautiful gardens to sit and take in the glorious views. There are many pubs and restaurants nearby and you can even arrange to have your breakfast next door if you fancy it (pending availability). There are stunning walks to be taken in Mill Dale and Dove Dale or you can explore the National Trust’s Hawksmoor, an ancient forest nature reserve. Within half an hour's drive, guests can enjoy a round of golf on the excellent course at Whiston. The area offers many ancient relics from its industrial past, namely the Caldon Canal built in 1776 and restored in 1974, which runs through the Churnet Valley. Visitors can also enjoy a ride on the Churnet Valley Steam Railway. Alton Towers is just a short drive away, as are the Staffordshire Potteries, the market towns of Ashbourne and Leek, Uttoxeter Racecourse and the majestic Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Lyme Park and Blackbrook Zoological Gardens. A great base for a memorable holiday at any time of the year

About the location

WINKHILL

Waterhouses 1 mile; Alton Towers 5 miles; Ashbourne 8 miles.

Winkhill is a tiny hamlet in rural Staffordshire, and is just 1 mile from the village of Waterhouses. Waterhouses lies between the market towns of Leek and Ashbourne on the southern fringes of the Peak National Park. The village was once the terminus of the Manifold Valley Light Railway, which is now the scenic Manifold Cycle Track, winding its way through the picturesque valleys of the Rivers Hamps and Manifold. The track is flat and traffic-free for cyclists, walkers and horse-riders. The Waterhouses area offers a village shop, a post office, pubs and a cafe/takeaway.
