  This was an old but very clean property in a great location in the Peak District.

  Very creaky floors which I guess is to be expected for its age. Nice really well equipped high spec kitchen but both fridges and the freezer were difficult to open as they weren’t fixed in the housing of the fitted kitchen. The busy road right outside the house was very noisy and meant that windows could not really be open especially at night (it was hot on floor 1 and ground floor) and it was not possible to use the garden comfortably to relax due to the noise of heavy traffic passing by constantly. 3 private parking spaces allocated to the property were not guaranteed to be available to use for 5 days of our stay due to being used by customers visiting the fish and chip shop opposite. This caused problems for our 3 car party. This issue was mentioned in an email but only after booking and payment. Bedrooms a good size (main en-suite bedroom ground floor door impossible to close). Beds comfortable and clean. Lots of bedroom cupboard space and bathrooms very nicely done. I’m sure plenty of others will enjoy and have enjoyed a lovely time here and we were okay but for the price point I think there are simple maintenance improvements that could be made and the noisy road/parking issues should be mentioned before any payment is made as this could be a dealbreaker for those seeking peace and quiet.

  Great cottage and very comfortable.

  Photos did not do it justice, it was much nicer even that we had imagined. Location is absolutely excellent for exploring a large area of the Peak District with many many brilliant places within a half hour drive. Lots of lovely walking from the front door too. We'd seen other reviews complaining about the cottage being on a main road. We stayed during a working week and really didn't find it an issue. The only negative we'd find is that parking in the allocated spaces can be a bit of an issue - we did have to ask people in the chip shop to move a couple of times as there is no alternative place to park. Perhaps something for the owners to take up with the chip shop directly. Otherwise no complaints and would definitely stay again.

  Beautiful house with excellent amenities.

  Very spacious and clean inside and a lot of thought has gone into making sure that everthing that could be needed is provided, in the kitchen particularly. The only criticism and it’s not of the house, is the busyness of the road outside. We normally have windows open at night but had to close them because of the noise. Not a deal breaker or anything owners can do but it is a busy road… Great location for walking, has decent pub just down the road, amazing fish and chip shop (the smallest cutest one) across the road and fabulous Indian (Curry Cottage) 2 minutes down the road. We had a great stay

  Fantastic property and the attention to detail was first class.

  A great open living area to socialise with well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. The location in the village is great to access the local area but the property is on the main road. This was no problem at all for us but if you opened a window it was very noisy!

  No hairdryers.

  Impossible to contact Sykes Cottages organisation either by phone, text or email. I wonder how guests would ask for advice or help during their stay in a Sykes property.
