"We had an amazing week staying at The Riddings Cottage, it has all the home comforts and everything you need."
The views are stunning. The owners are very welcoming and there if you need them. It's very peaceful despite being a working farm! Welcome pack was much appreciated. This was our second visit and we look forward to going back again.

"This was a wonderful cottage to return to and relax after a stressful day under our house hunting experiences."
The photos on the Sykes website were exactly as the cottage looked. Caroline and Tim were helpful and friendly and were just as previous people had described them. Would definitely return to enjoy the things that we missed this time.

"The Riddings is a delightful cottage on a working farm."
The carved stone fireplace and bright leaded windows incorporating a featured stained glass insert added character not found in other rental cottages. It is very tastefully furnished, creating a welcoming atmosphere. We also enjoyed getting to know Caroline and Tim.

The Riddings is in a peaceful setting rather off the beaten track, but well located for exploring the Peak District as well as the many other places of interest to see in this beautiful part of the country. We hope to visit again, and would definitely recommend.

The cottage is great to go and explore places, it does feel very homely, I would said everything has been provide from cutlery to towels, there are books, games, dvd's and tv to entertain, the shower is powerful and the bed very comfortable. Tim is very knowledgeable about the Peak District and Caroline is a mine of information. The holiday was made better because of them and their wonderful cottage

"We loved our long weekend at The Riddings Cottage."
It began perfectly with impeccable directions sent through by Caroline (follow them and you'll find it!),and a warm, friendly welcome from Tim. They were both wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They were around enough if we needed any assistance or advice on the local area but weren't intrusive in any way and the cottage felt very private. Is it the perfect location to explore the Peak District and surrounding area. We thought it might be busy as it was bank holiday. sunny and half term but it was very peaceful in the local areas. We would love to come back another time and will certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely break in the countryside.

"Lovely cottage and really nice and friendly owners."
Plenty of room and was very clean. Nice touch having some milk and biscuits waiting for us - plenty of clean towels and very well equipped - didn't need to take washing up liquid etc as all provided and plenty of sanitiser/wipes. We had a lovely few days - very peaceful and suited our needs being so close to Alton Towers - would visit again.

"Travel instructions are clear, and we can't miss the college."
I spent there a week for Christmas 2019, and arrived in the college's last day, when all the students left, so the way go up was extremely busy in that short way. But after that it was the quietest place during my holiday. Warm welcome from Caroline and Tim, lovely welcome pack in the kitchen. I loved the old style of the cooker and oven and I couldn't use them enough:) Also, for me a big fridge/freezer was a bonus, as most holiday cottages provide just small ones. I also had a nice little Christmas tree in the corner, which I appreciated:)
Nice, dry, clean and warm annexe, very spacious, comfy with a huge bed, double sized walk-in shower, really comfortable for all ages.
The area is lovely, and though the weather and time of the year didn't allow me to see much, but I was lucky to visit a few. Close to Peak District and some National Trust sites, such as Shughborough Estate, Trentham estate and gardens, Ilam park. Relaxing, quiet and calm place and I got the peaceful Christmas I wished for.
