The hosts are accessible and keen too please and help in any way.. It fulfilled every requirement and in fact probably exceeded most. No one wanted to come away!!!

Mrs Hurrell

Fantastic location.. Beautiful well equipped cottage with everything you could possibly need. Delicious homemade Anzac biscuits. Would thoroughly recommend.

The house was lovely and very comfortable.. It met our needs well and was very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked-I have never been to a kitchen with so much equipment. This helped us to cook an early Christmas meal with ease. A very enjoyable stay.

A supremely comfortable, well-equipped house with wonderfully helpful owners.. We arrived to a welcome pack of milk, farm-fresh eggs, homemade Anzac biscuits and a bottle of bubbly! The kitchen has been thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly think of including a large fridge-freezer, double oven and induction hob. The bedding and towels were plentiful and of high quality, as was all the furniture in the house. The heating was superb and easy to control. We used the house as a base for our son's wedding in Derby and it was ideal for the 3 generations who stayed. The surrounding area is beautiful and the house would make a great base for a walking holiday in the Peak District. Thanks to Barbara and Elizabeth for all your help - including sorting out a hairdresser for us! If you are thinking of renting Paddock House, we know that you will not be disappointed! We hope to return to Paddock House sometime in the future.

Mr Woolley

Extremely thoughtful owners who certainly made us feel welcome during our stay.. Location is superb.

Paddock House is a superior holiday home in every respect.. The owners, Barbara and Richard, who own the farm to the rear of the property where, extremely, helpful in every way. If you want to get away from it all and enjoy undiluted countryside Paddock House is for you. Highly recommended.

Mrs Carter

The wonderful landscape made it an unforgettable time, e.. G. the view from my bed!

Mr Kerridge

July 2018

Lovely cottage, in a fantastic quiet location, great views off the surrounding Peak District.. Very welcoming owners, milk, fresh eggs straight from their farm next door and tasty home made biscuits waiting for us. Really wonderful place to spend some time. Hopefully we’ll head back there again soon.

Mr Bartlett

June 2018

This is a really spacious house which is beautifully decorated and designed.. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the owners thoughtfully left us milk, eggs from the farmer and home made biscuits - which were delicious! The view from the cottage was amazing as it is situated quite high on a hill (might be difficult to get to during snow). There is a lovely garden and gas bbq which is really well kept and plenty of great local walks. There is a cosy log fire which we didn't use due to the glorious weather and the beds are so comfortable with good quality pillows and duvets. Absolutely fantastic! Will definitely be returning!

Mr Dexter

The cottage was exceptional, more than we were expecting reading from the Sykes website.. We would definitely book again should we revisit the Peak District. Everything we needed for the beginning of the holiday such as tea, eggs, biscuits, milk etc had been supplied. Even items like dish washer tablets and paper towels were supplied. Plenty of towels and good quality crockery. What more is there to say!

This is the first time we have booked with Sykes.. Although we have enjoyed many years of cottage holidays, the service provided (particularly in terms of communication before the holiday) and the standard of the cottage were both far superior to anything we have experienced before. The cottage was spotless, extremely well-equipped and well-serviced, and the owners had provided a very generous welcome pack. We have used other “high end” cottage rental agencies before and been disappointed by the service provided. We had the opposite experience on this trip and will certainly be booking with you again.

Dr Doughty

Kids loved feeding the lambs.. The photos don’t do this place justice it is truly wonderful.

Mrs Mackenzie

We loved this place! It's location is quite remote but you are rewarded with fantastic views and an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside including Ilam, the Dovedale and Manifold Valleys. The house is light, clean, comfortable and very well equipped with plenty of home comforts. As a group of 8, we certainly had plenty of space as the rooms are all a generous size. Paddock House exceeded our expectations and we will be sure to visit again.

Paddock House was perfect for us all as a family ranging from 3 to 83 years of age.. It was a birthday celebration weekend and Paddock House was ideal. The owners were delightful and we would certainly recommend the property without hesitation.

Mrs Shaw

March 2018

The cottage is spacious and equipped to an extremely high standard; nothing had been overlooked.. There were a number of welcoming, personal touches which we very much appreciated, and we felt that the owners treated us as valued guests. It's in a beautiful, quiet rural location, with open south-facing views - a great spot for wildlife. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there, and would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage. Five stars.

Paddock House is a really lovely house, spacious, well equipped, and warm.. Everything has been so well thought through - it was difficult to think of anything that could be improved. It is quite isolated in terms of pubs and shops (Ilam has neither) but the position of the house and the amazing views across the beautiful valley more than make up for that. And Ocado delivers! We had a golden retriever dog with us who had a wonderful time - no access to sheep so we were able to let him wander in the garden which isn't enclosed but is on a no through road where the only traffic is from the owner's farm above the property. The owners are warm and welcoming while totally respecting your privacy. We were left fresh eggs and home made biscuits and milk and had the added bonus of viewing lambs on our last day. Can't recommend the place highly enough.

Mrs Redfern

November 2017

The cottage was lovely - nice and clean and with everything we needed.. The home-made biscuits on arrival went down particularly well! Its remote location meant that the views were amazing - and we would love to return there to do some walking.

Mr Lightfoot

A wonderful quiet location for a relaxing getaway, with plenty of walks accessible from the cottage.. The accommodation was very clean and spacious. It was equipped with everything we needed and so much more! We would definitely recommend this property to others and would certainly book it again.
