Self-Catering Lees Farm in Bakewell

February 2023

This is an excellent holiday farmhouse for a large family group, or two families. The cottage has 2 living spaces, 4 bedrooms and a very well-stocked kitchen. The Sykes Cottages location is shown incorrectly, as the house is actually alone and on the very edge of the Wye Valley which leads to Monsal Head. As such, the views and walks from the door are wonderful. Most of the Peak District attractions are within 30 minutes drive. Inside, the facilities are very good, with excellent wi-fi throughout and high quality bedding in all rooms. It is worth considering the drive to the house which is about 0.7 miles along a muddy farm track. We coped fine driving slowly in both a Focus and a Passat, but I wouldn’t have fancied our chances in snow. Otherwise, highly recommended.

I still can't get over the absolutely stunning views from Lees farm! Beautiful walks from the door step, very hilly walk up and down to the pub but worth it! Can walk onto the monsal trail from the door step. Lovely cosy cottage, brand new bbq which we enjoyed! Can't recommend enough.

We booked this very last minute (same day) due to the terrible weather. The owners and sykes were very helpful and accommodating It is a lovely, well equipped cottage in a top location with walks straight from the cottage We had a fantastic few days here and with the large garden the dogs loved it to Cannot recommend enough and if ever in Peaks again will definitely look at booking

Much larger than expected.. Stunning views with direct access into a nature reserve near the Monsal trail.

This is the second time we have used Sykes cottages and they do not disappoint.. Lovely spacious property with lots of character. We were staying with the maximum number of guests but the house didn’t feel crowded.

Description of bedrooms was a bit misleading, it seemed to suggest there was a double bed in most of the rooms which was one of the reasons for our booking as three couples were staying.. The track leading up to the property was very rough in parts and if you had a low car you would srltruggle to get up it. The location was very good, near to the monsal trail and the house was very large and comfortable for all staying.

Mrs Neill

August 2018

Very well equipped beautifully remote farmhouse with views to inspire and relax.. The excitement of the track leading up to the house and the visit from the cow in the garden were enjoyed by all. We were pleased to find the location so well placed to local attractions and yet far enough away to give a real sense of timeout. Brilliant holiday.

Mrs Ashman

August 2018

The location was perfect for us.. In the middle of nowhere, but within 30 mins reach of everything. The Cottage was well equipped and comfortable, and spotlessly clean. So much to do that we are returning next year. A fabulous week.

Loved our stay at Lees cottage, great location up on a hill with awesome views, so peaceful! The half a mile bumpy track is something to consider, all 3 of us managed in and out most days with only one with a little damage to underside (was still drive-able), all part of the charm of staying in beautiful rural location! Our daughter thought it was hilarious and learned the word ‘bumpy’. The big kitchen was well equipped for big meals together, electric oven took a bit of getting used too and high chair needed a good clean on arrival (just little things). The box of jigsaws and games in the utility room was very handy, also the books and dvds in house. Bedlinen was lovely, duvets and pillows were so soft. Our four poster bed was a bit creaky but our 2year old slept happily for ten hours each night in the travel cot....glad we brought our own cot sheet and cellular blanket as not supplied. Perfect proximity to Bakewell and Matlock, lots to do for families (ladybower resevoir, Abraham heights cable car, pooles cavern, blue John cave in Crich, Matlock farm, tram museum...some of the group went in bike rides and long treks) loved the antique shop in Matlock and little boutique clothes shops. Lovely having Fresian cows peering over the garden wall whilst the sun sets...Would definitely stay here again. Glad we took advice from another review booking a Tesco online shop to arrive on the day we arrived as nearest shop for pasta (forgot this on list) was 40 mins round trip, just put Sat Nav in brackets in address. Highly recommend this cosy place!

Lees Farm is a dream house right on top of a hill with a 360 degree views.. Spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Just make sure you drive carefully and slowly up the mile long lane, which is a bit rough, to the cottage. Wonderful place for walks and bike rides.

Mrs Webb

November 2017

Visited Lees a few times now and will be booking again next year.. Lovely homely house, feels like home as soon as you walk in.

Mrs Wykes

November 2017

Lees farm is in a remote location with absolutely stunning views across the Monsal Valley.. The farmhouse is warm, cosy and well equipped - the underfloor heating in the main living room was wonderful. We stayed in November (during some strong winds) and despite being very exposed the property felt very safe. The drive up to the property was no problem at all in a 4-wheel drive - although it was narrow in places, and a local grocery company (Tesco) were able to deliver to the address without any problem.

Mr Woulfe

Beautiful, peaceful, remote location.. Cosy, comfortable cottage. Perfect.

Mrs Cornforth

May 2017

We have had a fantastic stay at Lees Farm.. The cottage was very well equipped and the views from the cottage were stunning. The location was the perfect place to unwind and everyone in our group enjoyed their stay adults, children and dogs.

Mrs Yallop

July 2016

Lees Farm is in a wonderful location , high on a hill overlooking Miller's Dale. The area is a Nature Reserve and we loved the wild flowers and stunning views. Underfloor heating keeps you warm in the lounge and there is an easily lit wood burner in each sitting room. We were there to cycle the Monsal Trail, Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail which we did with great enthusiasm and enjoyment. Walkers can join the Monsal Trail by descending the hill below Lees Farm. A really great holiday!

Mrs Websdale

April 2016

Lees Farm is a beautiful property, with the most amazing views and a large enclosed garden for our dog. Everywhere was clean and we felt at home immediately, very cosy and warm. Will definitely return, a fantastic holiday home.

Mrs Gray

February 2016

The location was perfect for all walks and trails. Loved the isolation and the views were amazing from every view around Lees Farm. We were amazed at the size of the grounds which was great for the two dogs with us. Having the two lounges was great because we had a 'teen' lounge and a separate 'adult' area in the evenings. We thought the amount of heat downstairs and constant hot water was very generous and welcomed.

Mrs Gilbert

November 2015

Lees Farm is a fabulously comfortable house. Warm, cosy and welcoming with a lovely atmosphere. Fantastic log burning stoves which we needed as the weather was wild and windy! And there was gorgeous bed linen which we really appreciated. But above all the location the unique selling point of this property with unbeatable views. And although you're in a rural location, it's only a short drive to great pubs, busy market towns and interesting places to visit. And it's total heaven for dogs with lovely walks from the back door.

Amanda B

September 2015

Just returned from a fantastic stay at Lee's Farm. The place was absolutely amazing; stunning panoramic views of the dales; huge rooms furnished beautifully with lots of extras there when we arrived! The garden was huge and enclosed so plenty of space for children to play safely and the only neighbours were cows and sheep which my youngest thought was awesome. There is a nature reserve which backs onto the property so walks literally in the doorstep too. We were a party of four adults and three children and this was just perfect for our needs. The proximity to places such as Buxton and Bakewell was great though we spent many of our days out in Matlock as there were great days out for younger children there. I can't recommend this property enough, if you like to be off the beaten track but with close access to civilisation then this property ticks all the boxes. We will definitely return as my kids loved it here!

Ms Squires

March 2015

Incredible location, perfect for all types of groups. Had walking trails from the front door. The house is gorgeous and well equipped. It was just perfect and we will be returning.

Mr Spencer

December 2014

Absolutely fantastic location, the views were stunning. Very remote and peaceful, exactly what we were looking for.

Mrs Russell

December 2014

The cottage was warm and cosy with excellent facilities. It was very isolated with howling winds which just added to the atmosphere and relaxation for a weekend in December. Excellent standard all round in wonderful Peak District location.

Miss Leach

December 2014

From the moment we got within a mile of Lees Farm the views were breathtaking! The property is situated in a beautiful secluded area up high on a hillside. Perfect for getting away from it all. Fantastic large enclosed garden for our golden retriever to run around happily without fear of him running off, of an evening we were regularly visited by the nearby friendly cows. Lees Farm is furnished wonderfully, lovely comfy beds - the best nights sleep in a long time. Sofas perfect for getting cosy in front of one of the two televisions provided and with free view if the weather wasn't permitting we could happily snuggle up in front of the log fire and watch television. The log fires made it perfect within the property, lovely and warm. We will definitely be returning again soon for a longer stay. Perfect for a lovely escape.

We rented this house for a week in November while my family were visiting from Canada. It was good value being off season and provided everything we needed and more. Views are amazing, even on the wettest day the scenery is stunning. It's lovely being cozy and warm with the wind and rain raging outside... But this house feels rock solid, like it was forged from the stone itself! The bathroom upstairs is lovely and just what the doctor ordered considering I'd just had a baby less than a week before we arrived. Really pampering and relaxing with low lights and beautiful roll top bath. Beds are über comfy and we slept 7 people plus baby no problems. We had numerous family and friends come by to visit and directions were easy as the house is pretty well signposted. Kitchen was well equip for dealing with larger parties. All and all, this house was perfect for our stay. I would highly recommend Lees Farm!

Mr Hicks

September 2014

We loved everything about Lees Farm, we wanted a getaway where our two dogs would be welcome and this farm was perfect. It is a fairytale setting with views that will be forever etched in our minds and hearts. The enclosed very large garden meant our dogs were safe to run and have immense fun. The farm itself is so cosy and we have never felt so relaxed. It truely is the ultimate get away from it all. We cannot wait to return. Marie, Tony, Oscar Skye :-)

Mr Lloyd

Great location with fantastic scenery, a welcome every morning and evening from the local bovine community thrilled the children.

Mrs Taylor

We have stayed in some lovely cottages over the past 35 years and this one is by far the best; we cannot fault it at all. The view from the farmhouse is to die for! We have stayed here twice now and we all love it.

Mrs Shayes

Lees Farm is in a superb location for exploring all areas of the Peak District and the views from the cottage are stunning. We all had a fabulous week here walking and cycling in glorious sunshine all week.

Mrs Lay

June 2014

Having two sitting rooms both with TV's made it great for those watching the tennis or the football. Wifi worked well throughout. The bedrooms were of a good size and very comfortable and 2 bathrooms made mornings much easier.

Mr Hart

Good quality, clean accommodation in a brilliant, remote location. Superb views. Access to adjacent Nature reserve - particularly beautiful at this time of the year. Proximity to lovely walks/cycling on the trails/dales. Central location in the White Peaks area. Good post-booking support from Sykes.

Mrs Winterbourne

What can I say about this house, it is gorgeous, everything about it is lovely. The views from the house are to die for. I would happily move into the house tomorrow.

Mrs Barnard

September 2013

We were lucky with the weather, and so the location was amazing! The views from the cottage were wonderful, and it was lovely to be able to sit outside for breakfast, when it was warm enough. There was plenty of room for everyone to do their 'own thing', but we could all be together when we wanted to be. Our two families could prepare/cook meals, as well as eat together. Being able to walk from the cottage was a bonus.

Mrs Marriott

August 2013

A lovely place to get away from it all, fantastic scenery and back to nature peace and tranquillity. A good base to explore from and some great cycling and walks nearby.

Mrs Cogan

August 2013

This is a beautifully secluded cottage with the most magnificent views I have ever seen. The cottage has a beautiful large garden. Inside, the cottage was very well appointed with a beautiful kitchen with granite surfaces and well stocked on utensils and crockery. It was perfect that we had some walks directly from the cottage, and we could cycle very leisurely to Bakewell for some much deserved Bakewell pudding.

My family and I stayed at this cottage in late July/August 2013 for a week. When we drove up the drive to the cottage we were a little worried as it was a long, bumpy track (as warned) although no match for my Quashqai. It was more nerve-racking for my brother-in-law in his low-suspension Honda Civic full of people and holiday packing. Still, we made it, with no harm to the vehicles and we were blown away by the location of the cottage right on top of the world! It had the most amazing views for miles in every direction. We could only stand and stare for the first half hour. The cottage itself was also beautiful. Low ceilings so beware if you are a tall family like ours! the kitchen had granite surfaces and was full of every utensil, pot, plate, cups and cutlery that you could possibly need. The hob was amazing - I want one now! The rooms were perfectly appointed. My 9 month old baby hasn't slept better than when she was staying here! It was nice to have a "snug" where the children played and a proper living room where the adults relaxed. The bathrooms were spotless and beautiful. The standalone bath made bathtime a lot of fun for the children and rather pleasant for me after a long horse ride at Ladybooth stables near Hope Valley. Other activities we enjoyed was bike riding the Monsal Trail - the start of which in the Wye Valley was only a 5 min drive up the main road from the cottage. We also went to Bakewell and enjoyed the famed Bakewell pudding. As well as walking the immediate surrounds (many walks straight from the cottage which was amazing!) we also ventured half an hour south to Dove Dale - so pretty! We managed to walk to a couple of pubs from the cottage - one down in Miller's Dale and the other on the A6 (The Waterloo). If you have babies, I recommend packing a sling/baby carrier not a buggy as the unmade roads don't work with buggies! This was one of the nicest holidays I've had in a long while - and this is mostly due to the stunning location of the cottage and how beautiful it was staying there. Everyone kept congratulating me on finding it, but I had no idea how lovely it was until we say it in person. The furnishings have been updated from the ones I can see in the photos in Trip Advisor. It looks nicer and they have a massive TV which connects to our laptop or plug a USB directly in which made my nerdy husband very happy. In summary, I highly recommend this cottage to any other families wanting to get away from it all. We will have to go again next year!

I stayed at Lees Farm over the May Bank holiday as part of a large group of friends. The property is very isolated, with beautiful views down the valley. There is a pub nearby although it is a very steep walk and might not be advisable in the dark! The house itself is well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday, (except for a barbecue which might come in handy). The property is ideal for families with kids or big groups as it has a huge garden and is surrounded by fields and open space to play in. Contrary to earlier reviews, wifi has been installed at the property and you get a relatively good signal throughout the house. The surrounding area is beautiful - we hired bikes from Bakewell to cycle the Monsal trail, went kayaking, go carting and of course there are lots of walks you can do from right outside the house itself. Our cars did struggle getting up and down the track to the property, but unless you have a small sports car or low suspension vehicle then it's certainly not that bad. We even ordered an online supermarket delivery which found the house and delivered perfectly on time. All in all I would definitely recommend this property for groups or big families!

We stayed at Lees Farm for Easter, but arrived following heavy snow the previous week. The owner had been in touch with concerns that the farm track, 3/4mile, was impassable. He managed to organise for a snow plough, but the drive was still banked up with 5-8ft drifts. After a non-too-humourous couple of hours stuck on the track, we eventually reached the house. It is totally isolated, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and ideal for keen walkers. The house has been tastefully furnished and has modern, very well equipped, kitchen and bathrooms. The two main bedrooms have comfortable king size beds and offer dual aspect views accross the countryside. The groundfloor bedroom has comfortable bunk beds and a single bed, plus built in wardrobe, but has no drawers or shelving, so with three teenagers, this soon became very messy and hard to keep organised. This room, along with the third first floor room, only have a velux window. The third first floor room was very disapointing. It offers a single bed+trundle, that really is inadaquate for two adults. There is no room to move around the beds, meaning climbing over whoever is on the trundle, which is also most uncomfortable! I would say that this house only comfortably accomodates 8 people, including children. There is also only seating at the dining table for 8, meaning every meal was compromised. There are some very creaky and unstable floorboards on the first floor, that would disturb even the heaviest sleeper, should anyone move around during the night. Although the snow caused problems at the begining of our stay, the local fields provided excelent sledging opportunities, providing hopurs of fun for both the adults and children alike. The farm track is very high in the middle and could easily damage your car. Do not even attempt to tackle it in a low-bodied car. The house is well placed for several local attractions and close to main routes to Sheffield/Chesterfield.

We loved our stay here. The house is cosy and inviting with everything you could need. The provision of a dog crate and a baby gate was brilliant. Just what we needed after the dog got his paws walked off. The house sits up a gravel type road, its not horrific but if you have a low car take it nice and slow. Far away enough to be lovely and peaceful, close enough to have amenities within a short distance. Perfect. So much so we are returning in a few weeks. Jasper can't wait. Only thing I would change is there is no wifi access. Phone signal is very patchy.

Mr Kennedy

February 2013

The views around the farmhouse were absolutely stunning! The house has plenty of room and character while still having high quality modern conveniences.

The cottage was very welcoming, the garden was spacious and there were two sitting rooms so plenty of space for all six of us.

Mr Goodwin

March 2012

Initially we thought we were well and truly lost whilst trying to find the secluded location, until the fabulous Lees Farm came into view. Driving into the spacious driveway, we were awestruck by the views all round. It took a few speechless moments between us to take it all in. This alone had won us over already, even before we had entered the house. When we did venture inside, we were greeted by a modernised house which still oozed with character and had everything we needed. There were 8 of us who stayed and we never felt short of space once. Once we had our bearings, we then had the wonderful countryside to explore, with the wonderful Anglers Rest a short walk away though the rolling hills of the Peaks. Returning to the cosy house was just as satisfying, especially with the under floor heating on, where we made the most of taking those views in. Overall I can honestly say I would love to revisit and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Excellent!

Mr Abbott

December 2011

Stunning location looking over the valley and great walks. Lees Farm was a property that was easy to feel comfortable in. There was a lovely table that we spent several hours sitting and laughing around.

Miss Chapman

Lees Farm didn't disappoint, the views were outstanding, especially when we had 2 days of snow. Our dog was in doggie heaven, we walked her feet off without ever having to take the car. The farm house was warm and cosy. Brilliant!

the cottage and location were good, excellent cottage for families. good information for the surrounding area the visit was spoilt by the uncooperative nature of the hand over person,I have mentioned this in a previous survey that you asked me to do and was disappointed that you did not get back to me on this matter

The accommodation was presented at a much better standard than we expected and we had a really good break.

Guest

December 2009

A beautiful house in a wonderful location. The house had everything we needed for our stay and it was wonderfully out of the way in order to get away from it all. The beautiful towns of Bakewell and Buxton are a short drive for the days when you actually want to go and do something. Highly recommended.

Donna

December 2009

The cottage was perfect for my plans. It was my 30th birthday and I wanted to celebrate it with family and a few friends. There were 7 of us and two dogs. Plenty of room for us all. The cottage was warm and cosy and in an ideal location for dogs, since it has a field for them to run around in. The pub however is down a steep climb which was not suitable for my mum who is disabled. All in all this was a great experience and I will be booking this cottage again. I also recommend it to my friends all the time.

The cottage was great, loved the remote location and the fantastic views. The overall standard was excellent and the welcome pack of food and wine was much appreciated.

Mr Ramsey

July 2009

The isolation in a beautiful cottage, stunning views. It was very peaceful. The cottage was to top standard very well stocked with quality bedding, towels and crockery. There was everything you would need for a nice night in after long challenging walks. The location was central to most of the Peak District yet once you left the little hamlet of Priestcliffe you were removed from everything. The whole of the Peak District was like a picture post card, I drove around for a week and did not see anything that was not worthy of a photograph.

Mrs Nicholas

May 2009

The location and surrounding views and the upstairs of the cottage felt very luxurious with all the lovely crisp white bed linen and plush bathroom.

Miss Meakin

The welcome basket of goodies was a life saver! The place really is remote so we loved having a few sausages and drinks, not having to worry about the neighbours. The soft furnishings were lovely and pristine white, in fact the whole place looked fresh and was really cosy. This would be a fantastic retreat in the winter!

Totally remote! The wine, food and cake that was there for us when we arrived was a lovely surprise. The view was fantastic and the walking in the area great.
