Robin Cottage

Beautiful little well equipped cottage.

Perfect location for travelling around Peak District. Will be looking at returning soon

Really nice cottage, beautifully furnished and in a perfect place for loads of lovely walks like Dovedale, Manifold trail and Tittesworth.

Would highly recommend if you want a relaxing break!

Lovely place, really clean and host was very friendly.

Good amenities and plenty of information on what to do in the local area. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely cottage, well equipped, spacious.

Utility area useful particularly if the weather is bad or you need for storage for bikes, equipment etc. Comments about access to the enclosed garden might put some people off. Don't let it. You literally walk out of the front door 5 or 6 paces to your right and open the gate to a small grassed fully enclosed garden with exclusive use. Great for our dog. Best point the views from the living room and from the garden- spectacular. Its quiet and peaceful, great value, plenty of parking and the owners are helpful but not intrusive

Amazing setting and beautiful property.

The owner was lovely and helpful. The best beds I have ever had in any sykes cottage.

I don't want to say too many good things because I want to keep this as a little secret but what an absolute Gem of a find.

We will absolutely be back and we've shared with family as well. Louise is just the perfect host, she has the right balance of being on hand but letting you enjoy the holiday. 5 stars all round.

Robin cottage is lovely, it’s so clean and well stocked and very roomy for a family.

We had three plus two dogs and the garden was ideal for them to let off steam. The positioning of it is ideal for so many day trips and there is a selection of leaflets to help you decide where to go. It’s peaceful and you have a lovely welcome on a morning of delightful cows in the field opposite. We met the owners several times who are on site as they have the B&B next door. They are very friendly and make you feel so welcome, thank you for the cake

A great few days away in a very comfortable and cosy cottage.

In a really good location for the Peak District and surrounding area. Would definitely return again.

A lovely cottage in a good easy to find location.

We enjoyed a takeaway from Mehek in nearby Leek and it was delicious

This property is a lovely very peaceful I would highly recommend this property.

The cottage was fantastic.

A rural, quiet location with distant views out of every window. I genuinely wish I could live there. Book with no hesitation.

We enjoyed our time at Robin Cottage, it is in a good location (if you have a car), convenient for walks and other activities, and well-equipped.

The host is very friendly. The double bedroom is quite small (the twin is much bigger) and the garden area with picnic table is not directly accessible from the cottage so we didn't feel able to eat al fresco. But those are minor points, overall the cottage is very good, and a great base for visiting the Staffordshiore Moorlands and western edge of the White Peak District.

We had a lovely stay at Winkhill and the Robin Cottage was lovely and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

The location is very handy for getting to Alton Towers and all the surrounding areas to visit. The cottage comes with everything you would need also comfortable get that you have your own garden it was good for our Lhasa Apso dog. Outside at the front door the sun was shining and lovely to watch the sunset sitting on the bench with a glass of wine in hand. Would would highly recommend the cottage.

All in all a great place to stay!

All of the facilities you’d need, make it a home from home indeed. A great base to visit the surrounding places of interest; Chatsworth House, Bakewell, Ashbourne, Derwent Dam to name but a few. Lovely hosts who were helpful and friendly.

Home from home.

The cottage was surprisingly very warm, the bedding was lovely, all the furniture was comfy and it was very well equipped with everything you could possible need. I’d definitely book again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Robin Cottage.

We were a family of 4 adults and a dog. The house had everything you needed for a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay. The views from any point in and around the cottage are amazing. The enclosed garden is safe for dogs and children. You do have to access the garden by going out the front door but not a huge inconvenience. There are sensor lights in both the front and back of the cottage for the evenings when the dog needed to go out. A trip to Ashbourne, Dovedale and Ilam are absolutely recommended. As is Bakewell. It’s also an excellent location for Alton Towers. The area is great for walking and cycling including the Manifold and Tissington trail and the High Peak. Louise is a wonderful host. Would highly recommend and will certainly return.

Our cottage was everything we expected.

Our hosts were very welcoming, friendly, helpful and respectful.

We had an enjoyable week at Robin cottage.

From sitting in the garden or looking through the window at the stunning scenery. Also the comfort of Robin cottage and the extras you left especially the cake was much appreciated. Bonus we had good weather as well. Always a bit uncertain when you visit Derbyshire.

The cottage was well equipped and lovely and cosy the beds where very comfortable.

We booked half term week at Robin Cottage to spend some time with our son and his family, having stayed in the adjoining Swallow Cottage (1 Bed) last October.

It was, as expected perfect for all our needs. Even with four adults and a baby, we still did not feel cramped for space. The kitchen was well equipped and a high chair was provided on request. We can honestly say that there wasn't anything else that we needed to thoroughly enjoy our stay. Just one regret. We had intended to sample the optional breakfast available at the farmhouse B & B during our stay but never actually got to do it. Louise the owner was always around and very helpful if you had any questions. The weather was a little bit against us during our week in the cottage but it was always warm and comfortable. All in all we would highly recommend Robin Cottage.

A lovely cottage which is well maintained and has everything required with excellent hosts Lovely location to visit the many places of interest in the area Would highly recommend Robin Cottage

Lovely peaceful property in a great part of the country.

Very enjoyable stay.

We felt immediately at home in this warm, well equipped, clean, cosy, well-located cottage.

It was exactly what was needed for four of us and a small dog, and in fact exceeded expectations. The proximity to Alton Towers was ideal. There was good food to be found locally, and plenty of beautiful walks and interesting sites close-by and further afield. To be recommended.

A very cosy, characterful and well equipped cottage.

The site is high , so very windy, but extensive views, when the weather allows. It took a while to find the best nearby shopping, eateries and walks, but we will be better prepared for a return visit. An excellent place to take dogs.

Lovely property.

Would definitely stay again. Only downside was no direct access to garden area from the cottage so had to put leads on the doggos whenever they needed to go out, and extremely dark in the enclosed area during the night even with a torch

The cottage was really lovely .

Very cosy, warm and welcoming and amazing views. So well equipped. We had a great week there.

Lovely cottage, very well equipped indeed especially the kitchen.

Holiday rentals often require that you change your approach to cooking due to limited equipment, not so here. We only spoke to the owners briefly but Louise was very pleasant and approachable. We were also left a lovely and very generous festive hamper which we all tucked in to, along with a good amount of milk to get us going until our shopping order arrived. Very comfortable beds, effective heating and plenty of hot water with great water pressure. Very comfortable sofas and decent FreeSat television in the lounge and a very effective electric fire if the heating needs a boost. The only slight negative, and it really is only slight, is that the back garden isn't accessible from the house, but instead accessed via a side gate. We have 2 dogs, one of which is a 9 month old terrier puppy who is not to be trusted yet, so it was a bit of a pain putting him on a lead and going out with him every time we needed to let him out. I imagine the property is listed, so there's no way around this, and certainly wouldn't stop us from returning. There is a public right of way directly opposite the property so if you do have dogs you can very quickly be somewhere they can run freely, assuming the cows aren't out. Overall, this property was exactly what we wanted, quiet, remote and with wonderful views which allowed us to fully relax after Christmas and in to the new year.

Robin Cottage is in a lovely setting with a bed and breakfast next door.

The owners are helpful without being intrusive. The cottage is well equipped with open views of countryside through large glazed windows both ground and first floor. Netflix was a nice bonus. I would definitely book again. My dog had a great time running in the garden at the rear.

Robin Cottage is cute, cosy and very comfortable.

It’s the ideal location for exploring the Staffordshire countryside. I was delighted to find such a well equipped kitchen with a choice of three frying pans! There are lots of touches in the cottage which make the experience of staying that much better than other Sykes Cottages that I have booked recently, for example, a plentiful supply of toiletries, towels, toilet roll, cleaning materials in the kitchen, and biscuits & milk on arrival. Louise is warm and friendly, on hand if you need anything. We enjoyed shopping in Ashbourne, visiting the Peak wildlife park and walking in Ilam Park. Hetty’s tearoom at Froghall Wharf is well worth a visit with a walk along the Caldon canal. As artists, we spent time in the garden sketching the wonderful view and absorbing the sounds of the countryside. A gem of a place.

Lovely cottage that was immaculately clean and well equipped with everything you would need for a weeks stay .

Set in a pretty location with views all around and close to many places to visit. The owners Darren and Louise are very friendly and very helpful with ideas for places to visit and recommendations for pubs and restaurants. Will definately book this cottage again .

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage with friendly owners.

Pleasant walking from the door including a couple of pubs, Dovedale and Caldon canal a short drive away. Fully enclosed garden with lovely view- and watching the baby calves was a bonus. We would be happy to return.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

Great location, cottage warm, clean, well equipped.

Would recommend.

Great cottage in a lovely area.

Everything you need. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful location and facilities at the cottage catered for every need.

Our hosts were very friendly and the dogs loved the garden area and surrounding countryside. I would thoroughly recommend Robin cottage.

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.

An absolutely wonderful cottage, well kept and clean with all the amenities you could require.

Would recommend and stay again.

Very comfortable and has lots of quality furnishings and fittings - no secondhand junk shop items!

In a quiet location and hosts are very accessible and friendly.
