What our customers say about their holidays

• Peter - Verified booking

  Wonderful accommodation in perfect location for exploring surrounding area.

  Spacious grounds/accommodation set in a friendly housing estate. Information prior to arrival tells you everything you need to know and one of the lovely owners greeted us on arrival. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated. The conservatory is light and airy with heating and furniture, a lovely spot to have breakfast! It also has access to a paved area with outdoor seating. The laundry room has everything you could need with a huge washer and separate tumble dryer. The kitchen is home-from-home, everything you need to enjoy your stay - we had a chef with us and he was impressed with the facilities! The dining room is comfortable and cosy with a walk-through into the lounge with laminate flooring throughout. The furniture is comfortable and clean and there is a TV for entertainment. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable with clean and lovely smelling linen. If you are like us a pack far too many clothes then you'll be pleased to know there is loads of cupboard space! The bathrooms are modern, spotlessly clean and the showers are lovely with heated towel rails - there are more than enough big fluffy towels for everyone. Extras - fresh eggs, home-made scones, jam, clotted cream, teabags, salt/pepper. There is also a box in the laundry room with "things you might have forgotten" in - shampoo, razor, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, sewing kit etc. The owners have done everything to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and we only saw them a couple of times so they didn't intrude on our time there. We woke up one morning to another bowl of fresh eggs on the doorstep - it's the little touches like this that make a wonderful holiday even more special.

  The setting was lovely, the cottage was very clean However the night we arrived was very bad weather and the instruction from Sykes was poor even though I called prior to booking the cottage to ask how far from Hathersage.

  The owner did give instructions but not a very clear black and white post in the dark and the road was awful we had to leave our car at the Plough Pub luckily our son was with us and we used his car to gain access to the cottage this must be highlighted how steep and far the road is to get to the cottage, we are from the country so are aware how the natural setting can be a hinder access. Once we did arrive at the cottage no clear indication of how to get to the front door as two gates to get there which I totally understand as sheep surround the cottage. The cottage was cold on arrival and was most of the time as we went out all day it appeared the heating came on during the day but noted the thermostat were low on the radiators. Due to our son leaving on the Saturday we chose to leave also making our stay short as we would of had to walk to the car up the track with our luggage which is about a mile away. We were disappointed and feel this was not worth the money on reflection from previous stays that are not that far away from this cottage.

  We had a lovely stay here.

  It really was like a home from home! Jane and John had thought of everything that could possibly be needed, even an ‘On no! I’ve forgotten my..’ kit which was a lovely touch. They were just next door if we had any issues (which we didn’t). There was tea, coffee, milk and fresh flowers to welcome us on arrival too. The property is very spacious with a lovely bright conservatory. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. One of our party had difficulty walking and we needed a shower that was easy to walk in to. This property was perfect as everything was on one level. We could park right outside the door. They could use either the wet room or the walk-in shower in the bathroom. It was a great base for visiting surrounding areas. We drove to Matlock, Bakewell, Lincoln, Chesterfield, Clumber Park, Welbeck Abbey and Sherwood Forest. Bolsover castle was about a 15 minute walk and there was a Morrisons about the same distance nearby. I would definitely come back again!

  An absolute home from home!

  We had a lovely warm welcome from Jane when we arrived giving us all the information that we needed for our stay. She let us know that she was just next door if we needed anything but that she would leave us alone to settle in and enjoy our break. We were so pleased to find homemade scones and plenty of other treats in the kitchen but even better was the bungalow itself. It's so homely and is so clean! We immediately felt relaxed which led to us having a really enjoyable stay. Both Jane and John spent time with our youngest son, letting him help with the chickens which made his year and means we must return to see them again! Jane and John are great hosts who have the balance just right of being on hand if you need them but also not imposing on you as guests there. We would recommend Cherry Fields and will certainly be back! Thanks

  The bungalow was spotless and clean and a good size.

  It was kind of the owner to leave us scones, jam and cream for arrival not to mention the fresh eggs as well. Jane allowed us to walk the dogs right up the end of the joint garden/drive which was kind. There was plenty of off road parking behind the property and the conservatory and wet room were highlights. There was an abundance of storage space and many items were provided for use like hair dryers, etc. There were very few negatives, for example the heating was quite loud in the night so it is advisable to keep it a little lower to avoid being disturbed. The decoration was quite dated in places but most of us found it quite charming. Overall it is a lovely property in walking distance to town, the Co-op, the Castle and the central park so I would certainly book it again in the future.
