The cottage was amazing, Sykes not so and would not book anything through them again.. The cottage is set in an idyllic village close to Buxton and lots of great walks. We all loved this break away, it was quiet and relaxing. If I had to find faults, one would be the dining furniture, metal on stone is not a good combo and two, considering we had to wait longer to get in due to cleaning, the cottage was no cleaner than my house. However this would not stop me from going back to this cottage by booking direct with the owner.

Chelmorton is a interesting and friendly village with good access to a number of places of interest nearby.. The Church Inn is very popular so book early..

Mr Rutter, August 2020

The cottage is ideally situated for visiting a number of towns and villages in the Derbyshire area.. The accommodation was very comfy and fully equipped. Both bedrooms were en suite with plenty of storage space. The added bonus of towels and tea towels was very much appreciated as was the complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits milk and bread. However, a few cleaning products would have been appreciated. The cottage had a walled garden with garden furniture and guests also have the use of a walled 3 acre paddock to exercise a dog which was a dream for our dog who was allowed off lead to run around . There was a selection of books, dvd's with games consoles and of course a large plasma tv. Highly recommended for a relaxing break.

Mr Ash, August 2020

Very comfortable and mostly well equipped (there was no dustpan and brush, for example).. The second bedroom bed size, a King, was too big, resulting in very narrow access down each side. A pair of 27" single beds with shared central bedside cabinet would work better. Excellent having access to the linked fields for dog walking, as the small garden was not really usable and, with plastic grass, needs to be swept clean. I would have done this myself but no tools were available. There is a damp problem around the sink base unit in the kitchen, possibly caused by having 2 separate circular deep/shallow SS bowls, with the tap fitted directly on the work surface. Water runs off the front edge easily, and damp has affected the base unit. A standard 1.5 bowl combined drainer unit would work better.

The cottage was in a good position in the village, it was a lot smaller than looked in the internet, the bedrooms where only just big enough for a double bed as you had to turn sideways to get into the bed! The en suites where nice, the cottage was not a 4 star maybe a 3 , it could have done to have had a refurbishment as the paintwork was shabby and the garden which you looked out onto from the kitchen was full of weeds! The floors could have done to be cleaned as well as was really dusty, it was a good base to explore the area but for the money would expect a bit more!

Ideally situated for touring the Peaks, and in a nice village.. Fabulous secure dog walking facilities - we have an old dog and she galloped everywhere! Cottage was warm and comfortable - all lights and heaters left on for our arrival! Will definitely return (coronavirus permitting!!!) Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Mrs Peach, March 2020

February 2020

The information in the cottage was bang up to date,which is often not the case.. Also very clean, very well equipped,warm and welcoming. The food at the church inn was delicious and we had a nice relaxing week. Thank you everyone

Mrs Edwards, February 2020

January 2020

Lovely cottage in friendly little village.. Nice stroll to the the warm and friendly local village pub that served excellent homemade food. The private walled paddocks were perfect to let the dog run free followed by a short drive to either Buxton or Bakewell and a wander round. We Will definitely re-visit.

November 2019

Lovely cottage for our weekend getaway.. Great cottage with all the home comforts. Chelmorton is a small village with just a church and a pub. Nice to walk out from. The use of the meadow for walking the dog was an added bonus.

Mrs Lewis

March 2019

Quiet quaint cottage in beautiful village.. Fabulous views, lots of superb walks, friendly people in village. Marvellous pub just up the road.

Mr Thomas

February 2019

Wonderful cottage very warm and cosy.. Easy to reach other places of interest. Pub had lovely food and welcomed the dog too and was in easy walking distance.

Mrs Fox

November 2018

The cottage was warm and cosy, well equipped, and clean.. It was plenty big enough for four adults. The pub which served good food was 5 minutes walk and we found plenty of nearby places to visit in the car. Would return for another visit but maybe when the weather is better. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Mrs Thabusom

September 2018

It's a lovely cottage and easy to find with directions given and amenities were good.. The location is fantastic.

Mr Taylor

Lovely 3 night break.. Everything you could ask for and more. Cottage was lovely and perfect for 2 couples (and a large dog). The meet and greet session by Carl & Tracey was a nice touch and would definitely go back...if allowed!!

Mrs Jackson

August 2018

The location was excellent.. Perfect for a tranquil relaxing break.Fabulous countryside to explore and cottage well equipped.

Mrs Corley

We stayed at the cottage with our 8 month puppy.. The cottage was lovely, had everything you needed. An added bonus was the 3 acre paddock to let him out early morning and late at night as there is no garden suitable for the dog. Excellent location for the peak district, fabulous walks within 15-20 minute drive.

Mr Jones

July 2018

The broadband being advertised was slower than dial up and kept dropping out.. The advert did not mention this. The floorboards in the front bedroom were so loud you had to turn the television up when someone was in the bedroom. First aid box missing Elastoplast. Must admit I still enjoyed the stsyy

Mrs Preece

There are beautiful paddocks for enjoying and walking the dog and sitting in - a really nice addition to the cottage which was much appreciated..

Mr Gilbert

June 2018

The owners are very helpful and enthusiastic about their cottages and the area in which they are situated.. We had a welcome pack which far exceeded any which we have had at other cottages. Not only did we have a loaf of bread but also 4 pints of milk as well as a packet of Jammie dodgers. We went to the local pub on Monday night and found that there was a quiz night on . We were invited to take part ,and we still felt welcome ,even though we declined. The atmosphere in the pub was very cheerful .The cottage is well equipped and everything was in good working order. It is definitely on our shortlist when we return to the area.

Mrs Denny

Excellent meadow for walking our dog.. The wild flowers were beautiful.

Mrs Aston

May 2018

Delightful cottage and delightful village.. For guests with dogs this is deal. Despite going during lambing season the fact that there is private land without livestock in which to walk the dog is a huge bonus. It's plenty big enough for a short interim exercise time or a ball throwing game. The local pub is also dog friendly. Walking through deepdale is wonderful but appropriate walking boots with ankle support would be required due to areas of very rocky ground. Don't try it with shoes! The cottage is very comfortable, clean and of a nice size. If I was absolutely forced to make criticism it would be that there were no tongues to turn the bacon and sausages. The fact that that's the worst thing I can come up with surely shows how perfect it was .... a fork does the job! Thank you to Carl and Tracey for the opportunity to enjoy our stay so much in Chelmorton.

Mr Vass

Lovely clean cottage.. Good communication. Welcome pack is an added bonus. Ability to walk in 2 private meadows is another plus point. All in all a very enjoyable stay and - Yes - the weather helped !! Wifi worked OK but no phone signal in cottage - a bonus ??? however signal outside if necessary

Ms Mitchell

The owners were helpful telling us about various places/events that were available to visit when we were staying in the area..

Mrs Nicholls

March 2018

Hosts/ owners very helpful and informative about the village/ pub walks etc and what to do around the nearby areas.. Even came early in the morning to remove the snow on the paths outside the cottage. Very comfortable and cosy cottage with great fields for dog walking .

Mr Renton

February 2018

Where to start? "The Beast from the East" hit whilst we were here with EVERY road blocked. Carl & Tracey came round with extra supplies of milk and bread to ensure we were ok. The local pub (The Church) has decent pub food, excellent ale & wine and friendly staff. Try the Monday pub quiz...but you'll need to bring your general knowledge A game. For a simple lunch nip up the road to the Book Shop & Cafe...BEST coffee in the area and outstanding home baked cakes. Our Labradoodle also recommends the "reserved" meadows for some crazy figure of 8 exercise.

Mr Hall

A lovely comfortable, clean and cosy cottage.. Everything provided. We even had snow which was an added bonus as we had our grandson with us. The field for walking the dog was great we were able to have a snowball fight and made a snowman such fun.

Mrs Crampin

November 2017

Comfortable cottage in an ideal location for exploring this scenic area.. Easy access to Buxton and Bakewell and close to the Mondial trail for walkers/cyclists. The enclosed paddock adjacent to the property was ideal to exercise our dog.

Mr Pepperrell

October 2017

Apart from the fab location an excellent local pub 5 minutes walk from the cottage..

Dr Bourns

June 2017

Lovely spacious and cosy cottage.. We only had a long weekend and wish we had longer to explore the local area. It was great meeting the hosts on Friday evening - lots of tips and local knowledge - we will need to come back to do everything suggested!

Mr George

April 2017

On the whole a very warm and comfortable cottage, situated in a peaceful village conveniently located for visiting the many attractions of the Peak District..

Miss Mather

Lovely place

Mrs Griffiths

The location was excellent and the cottage was ideal to return to after days walking in the hills.

Mrs Carter

May 2015

A good location and a very quiet. A good welcome from the owners with lots of useful information about the area. The beds were very comfortable.

Mrs Bryan

January 2015

Location, excellent for walking. The owners are a very hospitable and fun couple, very knowledgeable on the area. A good local pub within easy walking distance. The 7 inches of snow dumped on us on Boxing Day evening was the 'icing on the cake'

Mr Currey

October 2014

The location was brilliant.....the owners very friendly.....cottage was exactly as described. The pub in the village is great as well. Loads of walks from the doorstep. Would definitely return.

Mr Soulsby

September 2014

Lovely cottage, good dog friendly location, quiet and away from the road, easy parking. Lots of great walks and a good pub too.

Mrs Gray

August 2014

The owners are lovely people who took time out to welcome us and tell us about the area. The cottage is cosy with everything we needed as a family of 4 plus a dog.

Guest

March 21st-28th 2014. Very cold cottage, no heating on arrival but TV on (why ?). Took almost a day to heat cottage. Electric fire in lounge poor quality, ineffective and dangerously wired. Basic house clean and bathrooms very good but carpets under bed, under sideboard very dirty/dusty (had not been cleaned). Children's 'fort' in paddock was small (6ft square) and basically rotten. Tiny paddock (play area was really 'tiny') with long uncut grass. Overall very disappointed. Did not see owners all week.

Mrs Clark

July 2014

Excellent facilities and a great location with lots of places of interest within easy access. Very friendly reception from owners and also people in villages and shops in area. Wonderful scenery.

Mr Cotterill

June 2014

The location was ideal for walking straight from the door with local places to visit if not walking. A quiet and peaceful location with good off road car parking for both cars. Met on first night by the owners who gave a great insight into locality, places to visit and local food specialities.

Dr Faulkner

May 2014

Perfect for 2 people. Easy to find, lovely location, we used the local pub several times which did excellent food and good ales, and ate in other towns depending where we'd visited on other days. Barely ate in the cottage apart from breakfast, but when we did everything you'd need was there and worked. Central heating was good and the cottage was always warm to come home to. We were lucky with the weather so we're out cycling or walking every day and didn't use the 60 inch TV, blue ray and PS3 as much as we were expecting; just in the late evenings but it would all have been great if we'd had a rain day or two. Excellent stay and highly recommend it.

Mr Hughes

April 2014

Delightful location. The cottage was perfect for our requirements really.

October 2013

The service was very good the home was very clean with the added bonus of ensuite bedrooms. The plasma screen tv was brilliant as was the game console. The local pub was really good and the food was excellent! Beautiful scenery and lovely walks. Enjoyed the quietness and the welcoming pack. There was nothing to dislike.

Mr Stephens

August 2013

Excellent property that lived up to write up.

Mrs McClernon

March 2013

The cottage was warm and well equipped. It is well placed between the A6 and A515 to visit the attractions of the Peak District. There were walks from the village and it was very peaceful.

AwayFromLondon

February 2013

This is a lovely cottage, really nicely done. When we arrived it was all made up with fresh bedding, fluffy towels and the heating on. Lots of nice touches like teabags/bread/milk, and a welcome glass of wine at the owners' house the night we arrived. A great location for places like Buxton and Bakewell as well as walking in the Peak District. Nice pub with good food 5-10 minutes walk. Oh, and a chip van arrives at the end of the drive on a Thursday teatime.

Mrs Tamplin

October 2012

Access to cycle paths and views. The cottage was gorgeous and really beautifully done.

Mr Joint

September 2012

Separate en-suite showers. Warm and cosy cottage. Entertainment facilities, products excellent and extensive.

Mr Lesurf

August 2012

Accommodation was very good standard and in a good location for our activity. Property generally was well thought out for the visitor.

Mrs R Wallace

January 2012

The cottage itself was very clean and there were adequate utensils in it. It would help if there had been a mat by the front door to wipe feet it was rather muddy. The position of the cottage was delightful and so villagy and we found the owners and the neighbours very friendly. The views were delightful and for us it was a very different sort of holiday.The area itself was lovely and it was the first time we had been there. We actually booked into the cottage as one of the party had a helicopter flight nearby and it was a good location for places like Bakewell and Buxton which we visited and so enjoyed.

Mr O'Donnell

October 2011

A fantastic, comfortable cottage finished to a high standard, and set in a great location.

Mrs Lundstrum

June 2011

I thought it was a nice touch that the owners invited us, and our neighbours in their other property, for an informal meeting and a glass of wine, on our first night there where they gave us a lot of information about places to visit. They were very knowledgeable.
