When holiday was cancelled due to covid 19, we was not offered our money back only to rearrange date in the future at an extra cost of £76.. payable now, which says to me Sykes are only in it for the money, not for the customer. Do not like being bombarded with your emails nearly every day.

Mr Chamberlain, September 2019

June 2019

Excellent location to explore the area.. Cottage comfortable and the owner was very friendly and helpful. The approach road to the property was more of a farm track so just need to drive with care.

Mrs Claxton, June 2019

This cottage is in the perfect location to be near all the best walks in the Peak District, being between Buxton and Castletown.. The cottage is cosy for two people on a dairy farm.

Mr Osborne, June 2019

May 2019

A lovely old cottage with beautiful views of the countryside.. Easy access to Castleton and Edale with many walks and cycle paths. Our hosts were happy for us to look round the farm and meet the lambs. We would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing break in the Peak District.

Ms O Connor, May 2019

April 2019

The holiday itself was a fabulous experience.. A lovely, clean and comfortable cottage - despite a few problems managing the shower - located in beautiful surroundings with a hundred interesting things to do and see on the doorstep. The owner was friendly, welcoming and helpful and we even learned a bit about the ups and downs of farming life in the area. All in all, we were delighted with the cottage and the efficient service provided by yourselves. Thanks.

We had a lovely time in Garden Cottage.. Very cosy. Good location for walking. The listing on Sykes refers to a possible problem with the shower. The cottage is on a working dairy farm, and when they are milking they use a lot of water. Water pressure to the shower in the cottage is reduced during this time. But this really not a problem, you can still have a perfectly adequate shower when they are milking the cows. The local pub, The Wanted Inn in Sparrowpit, is closer than the Sykes listing suggests. Daylight permitting, you can easily walk there by footpath and avoid the rather busy road. At the time of writing, the Sykes listing for Garden Cottage is showing some old pictures of the kitchen. This has been up-dated since those pictures were taken, with a new cooker and new kitchen units. The owner, Mr Morten, is a really nice, friendly guy.

Ms Bryant

Was welcomed by a very clean, well equipped cottage.. Beautiful views. Will definitely visit again.

Mr Stone

November 2018

This sweet little cottage was perfect for our short honeymoon.. It was warm quiet private and the perfect place for two people in love. It shows signs that other guests have not treated the place with care and respect but the owners are not to be held responsible for that. It is a working dairy farm in a rural location, we were warned that water pressure drops at specific times as the milking operation draws a lot of water, but anyone would have to be an ignorant selfish town dweller to complain about that; you are on holiday, so work around those times or book into a Travelodge. This is a sweet cosy cottage, if you are over five feet four you will probably bump your head going up or coming down stairs... the clue is in the word cottage. Overall, this is a superb little place, we were sad to leave it after five days. Its location is excellent as it is only 30 minutes from Manchester airport, barely more than five minutes from Buxton. An excellent holiday cottage that was better thanI had hoped.

Mrs Patrick

Everything was absolutely fine apart from the fluctuations on the temperature of the shower..

Mr Waplington

The house was the ideal size for a couple.. All small necessities were supplied e.g. washing up liquid, toilet roll, tin foil, towels etc. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Mr Green

September 2018

The cottage was ideally situated for walking and touring the Peak District.. The owner was very hospitable and had a wealth of knowledge about the area.

Mr Amos

Very pleasant hosts comfortable and quiet, unfortunately there was a lack of water pressure making it difficult in the bathroom..

Mrs Burden

August 2018

Great welcome from Peter, the accommodation was very comfortable and the location was beautiful with easy access to the rest of the Peaks..

Mr Sutton

June 2018

Garden cottage was small but a very cosy cottage,with the most stunning views of the Dales.. The farmer Peter was very helpfull and friendly and even took my wife and I around his farm and we saw some of the best views around.He even told us place's to see,he would allways stop for a chat and tell us about his farm when he was a boy. The Dales have so mutch to see that a week was not long enough to see it all,and would thoroughly recommend this holiday.

Mrs Bishop

Absolutely BRILLIANT holiday, in a wonderful location, with the best welcome we have had ever ,from the owners.. ..……………….. ideally located for visits and walking.....

Mrs Orton

May 2018

What a wonderful view there is through the window from the kitchen sink! The cottage is set in beautiful countryside with all the interest of the farm animals nearby. Easy access to many walks, rocks, caverns, reservoirs, gardens, castles etc. The cottage itself has two hazards! There is a step up from the entrance and lounge area up to the dining/ kitchen area, which can easily be forgotten . Perhaps a strip of white carpet tape could be placed on the step to make it more visible and obvious. There could also be a warning sign for the stairs. It is necessary for tall people to duck or they would bang their heads!

Mr Hall

Barmoor Farm and garden Cottage are a delightful place to stay .. The location is convenient for some great walks straight from the farm. Chapel en le Frith has a large supermarket and is a convenient place to stock up on supplies.

Mrs Pask

The cottage was very cosy and clean with everything you require to enjoy a pleasant holiday. The owners were very helpfull and polite.
