Accommodation was spotlessly clean and well equipped.. It was very clear that the owners have taken the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously and we felt very safe and secure at the accommodation.

Mrs Jones, August 2020

A beautiful cottage with very friendly knowledgable owners.. The cottage was really comfortable and had everything we needed. The children enjoyed playing on the swings and seeing the cows being milked! We enjoyed that we could cycle to the Tissington trail from the cottage so we didn't have to use the car!

Mrs Goodliffe, August 2020

We had a wonderful,restful and enjoyable holiday.. Bank Top is very well equipped and very comfortable. Thank you all so much for enabling us to have a wonderful break.

Rev Day, August 2020

Mrs Bolger, August 2020

July 2020

Great holiday house and very friendly helpful hosts.. Extremely spacious for a 2 bed holiday rental (would suit 2 couples as well as families), super clean, very comfy beds and the fluffiest towels! Extremely well equipped kitchen which even included baking equipment :) Games had been removed, but we’d been expecting this following a Covid update email from Sykes so took our own. Great quiet location (our first time staying in a farm), just a mile from Hurdlow where you can pick up the High Peak cycle & walking trail which also leads onto the Tissington trail. A very easy 10-15 mins drive into Buxton, 20 mins drive to Monsal Head. We can recommend the 30 min drive to Carsington Water for cycling & walking too. We didn’t visit any pubs or restaurants (we’ve not yet taken the plunge to eat out post lockdown), but there are many lovely looking pubs with beer gardens in the vicinity. But we did stop for outdoor refreshments at the cafe’s and kiosk’s along the cycle trails, all catered for all dietary requirements which was lovely as we have 2 dairy free in our family (vegan ice cream was stocked at most places). Highly recommended and we’d certainly stay again...maybe with friends next time as there’s a second holiday house next door :)

The owners Paula and Will along with their family were really friendly and made made us so welcome .We got to see the workings of the farm which was really educational.it also made us aware of how hard farming life is.We have already booked again for next year and honestly we can't wait.

Mrs Jones, June 2019

Bank Cottage is a perfect place to enjoy the surroundings of the countryside.. Set on a working farm it was a joy to watch the cows being walked to & from the milking shed while sitting outside with a glass of wine & the sun shining...... bliss! Travelling around the area seeing all the beautiful countryside & the local towns & villages of Buxton, Bakewell, Ashbourne while not forgetting a trip to Holmfirth & ride on the small touring bus around “Last of the Summerwine” locations with a very knowledgeable driver.

A little piece of heaven where the owner/ hosts make you feel like part of the family, while treating you as royalty.. Cannot recommend enough.

Mr Man

February 2019

A brilliant place to stay in the Peak District.. The accommodation is clean and quiet. Would recommend this place to a family looking to venture around the Peaks!

Miss Tyler

The cottage was immaculate.. It was if it had never been lived in, in terms of cleanliness. The host had everything covered; a good selection of towels, every kitchen utensil you could think of and even a couple of dishwasher and laundry tablets, which in our experience is pretty rare (we took our own just in case). The cottage was really warm, a little too warm at times (mainly at night) but that’s down to us not figuring out the thermostat I expect (plus it was unusually warm for Feb, which was a dream). Our 3 year old loved the cows, climbing frame and swing, our 8 week old slept; biggest compliment we can give! We’d definitely go back :)

Mrs Halliday

December 2018

Mr Brown

Our second stay here - great cottage, excellently equipped, though they mustn't let standards slip - lock on downstairs cloakroom door is broken, but nothing else to mention..

Mrs Berridge, August 2017

March 2017

Really lovely little cottage, warm, cozy and fully equipped.. Yes, it is on an actual farm and you can see that from the windows, but as a base to explore the local area, I don't think it could have been better for us.

Miss Albone, March 2017

October 2016

The cottage itself was very well appointed and cleanliness and attention to detail were excellent.. It was lovely to stay somewhere where the crockery and cutlery had obviously been purchased for the property and was of good quality. However, we felt that the pictures on the website were misleading as far as the view was concerned. It faced the owners farmhouse and three dogs who were permanently tied up. The dogs themselves were lovely and being farm dogs we do understand that they are treated differently to pets. We also suffered from rather a lot of flies which seemed immune to fly spray. It may not be fair to the owners publish these comments as I'm sure the cottage would suit many people - just not us again. We prefer to have a better view from the property.

Mrs Jennings, October 2016

Miss Butler

July 2016

The location is perfect for all the little towns and tourist attractions, but at the same time it is peaceful and quiet and surrounded by beautiful hills. The people are extremely friendly and WOW the pictures on the website do not do this place justice, it is beautiful! I have never been to a more clean and well thought out holiday home. Just an amazing place to stay, really homely and the kitchen is so well stocked (better than my kitchen at home). Would certainly stay again!

The cottage is by far the best we have ever stayed in self catering. It was very modern and tastefully furnished. The location was excellent too, right in the middle of everywhere you would want to go in the Peak District, within 15-20 miles of most places you would go visit. We have already recommended the cottage to family and friends and will definitely look to stay again on our next visit to the Peak District.
