Lovely cottage fitted and equipped to a very high standard.. Cosy and comfortable. Friendly owners were there if needed but not intrusive and the fresh milk from the resident dairy herd was so lovely too. Would certainly recommend to anyone wanting a quiet relaxing holiday.

Croft House , is a lovely cottage on a Dairy Farm , with beautiful countryside views .. The Cottage had everything we needed ( dog towels a great idea , they were needed after long muddy walks
Mrs Harris, March 2020

The owner is very friendly gave us free milk from his cows everyday.. Lovely location. Ideal for walking holiday
Mrs Collins, February 2020

A beautiful location, with a cottage that's spacious, comfortable and very well equipped.. Being on a working dairy farm was nice, plus the fresh milk deliveries were a very much enjoyed bonus too! We were treated to a lamb being born on Christmas Day in the field directly in front of the cottage and that's not something I'll forget in a hurry. The only slight issue we had in the cottage was with the Wi-Fi - it's very slow (we measured 0.2Mbps at best) and usable for only basic messaging and emails. Web browsing is pretty slow and streaming of any kind is a no-go so perhaps those with teenagers looking to hammer the Wi-Fi on YouTube, Netflix and the like, should bear this in mind but otherwise Croft House is a delightful place to stay and I would highly recommend it. The location is ideal for exploring the Peak District, 10 mins by road from Ashbourne, and only about 30 mins or so from places like Derby, Leek, Buxton and Matlock. The cottage is very handy for picking up the Tissington Trail too; a must for anyone who likes getting out on two feet or wheels! Tissington itself can be reached in about 30-35 minutes on foot from the cottage via the trail and is a lovely village to wander around, checking out the wells and enjoying the quaint-ness of the place. There's a great little butcher's shop hidden in the village plus a couple of places to grab free-range eggs, and friendly local cats if you like feline friends! My thanks to the owners and for the free fresh milk!

Cottage was a perfect location for tissington Hall wedding we attended! Bigger than expected and the kitchen was fully stocked with all utensils and even spare sugar, salt and pepper etc! Thanks for having us!
Mrs Perkins, October 2019
October 2019
My sister and I had a fabulous weeks holiday at Croft house.. We loved being on the working dairy farm and we learnt so many facts. The farmer & his wife were extremely helpful in every way, fresh milk from the dairy whenever we needed it to helping us with routes. Brilliant hospitality. Lovely rooms, incredibly well equipped kitchen & great towels. We enjoyed amazing views across the farms fields which we absolutely loved. Thank you and we’ll be back in June.

Comfortable and spacious.. Excellent location to be able to explore the Peak District
Mrs Heading, September 2019
August 2019
Lovely cottage for 6 on a working dairy farm in an ideally placed spot for convenient walking from the property.. Great outlook across the fields with the Tissington Trail on the doorstep. A nice jug of ‘homegrown’ milk in the fridge to greet us. All the comforts of home. Outdoor seating with views across the landscape. Cosy lounge. Only challenge was one bathroom between us but the extra loo helped ( my fault I misread the blurb!). Comfortable beds and a dark sky if you like looking at the stars. Would love to return in the winter months and appreciate the log burner.
Mrs Evans, August 2019
June 2019
This is a perfect place for hikers, gentle walkers or just those who want to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful setting.. Who could resist fresh milk given by the cows who have just paraded before you? Peter & Jo, family and farm workers all made us feel sooooo welcome!
Mr Black, June 2019

The cottage owners were extremely helpful and friendly, even letting us use their kettle when the one provided failed suddenly..
Mrs Bibbings, June 2019

Great cottage: very comfortable, spotlessly clean, with really friendly owners who could not do enough to help, however, kept their distance unless needed.. Beautiful area ideal as a base for exploring and somewhere we would like to return to.
Mrs Houghton

Lovely comfortable cottage, very well-equipped.. Owners very pleasant and we appreciated the jug of their lovely milk left for us.
Mrs Hanson, May 2019
April 2019
We had a really lovely family holiday in this cottage.. Our toddler was constantly fascinated by all the farm noises and vehicles that the owner used and we were mesmerised by the setting! In the middle of Tissington trail, surrounded by a lovely nature, it was a perfect break from the city. Being this close to the farm made us realise again, how hard the farm life is! Big respect to the owner who was working tirelessly on the farm every day but always so pleasant and happy to help. The cottage is well equipped, lots of fab pubs within 10mins drive and if it rains there is a great soft play in Ashbourne for toddlers. Fresh milk and the open fire was a real bonus! We will come again, thank you!
Mrs Shaw

Spacious, clean comfortable cottage in a great setting.. Owner was friendly, informative and helpful. There’s lots to do in the vicinity, which may warrant a return trip!

We had a great week at Croft house.. A very well equipped house (especially the kitchen) - everything we needed for a comfortable stay. A lovely and quiet location, with great access to the rest of the peak district
Ms Scully

The holiday cottage was great.. It was clean, spacious and met all our needs as a family. Peter, the dairy farmer, and his wife really went out if their way to make us feel at home. It was a great place to stay and in a great location too. Thank you. Sykes' booking fee was the only fly in the ointment. I thought £39.00 was excessive considering we only booked for two nights. And, this was applied right at the end of the booking process online, not at the beginning. For this reason, we will not be booking through Sykes again.

Owner Peter was lovely, hospitable, welcoming and accommodating.. A very happy week.
Mr Fuller
September 2018
A truly delightful venue for an extremely relaxing stay, first class amenities, well presented with peace and tranquility in abundance.. A definite must when staying is to experiencing one of the twice daily milking of the hosts cows. Location is superb for the Dales with endless amounts of places to go and see. Highly recommended accommodation.
Mrs Sodring
August 2018
Craft House is in the centre of a family dairy farm.. Tenants can see the cows leave and return to the hillside field opposite the kitchen window twice a day for milking. The farmer and his family are very friendly and supply a large jug of fresh, creamy milk every day (perfect for children). By arrangement, families are also encouraged to visit the calves and see the cows milked. The area is great for children, Dove Dale, with its stepping stones, caves and Dove Cloud, Ilam, Matlock Bath (Heights of Abraham) and Carsington Water offer varied activity to be enjoyed on many levels.
Mr Glazebrook
June 2018
We were made to feel very welcome by the freindly owners.. We were invited to spectate in the daily milking process, which was very informative. The property was well equipt and suberbly positioned.
Mrs Dilkes

Great hosts, beautiful cottage, well equipped, easy to book, simple instructions on how to get there,(although we'd been before) even great weather!
Ms Beckford
March 2018
This is a lovely cottage on a working farm.. It has superb views and is ideal for those who.Live walking as the Tissington Trail is less than a 5 minute walk and can be seen from the cottage. Both Ashbourne and Buxton are very accessible and there are plenty of places to visit nearby.
Mrs Hornsby
February 2018
Great cottage on a working farm.. Owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Nice views looking onto Tissington Trail. We wanted to be able to walk on the trail and literally a few hundred yards down the farm track easy access straight onto the trail. Located to be able to drive easily to other walking spots, Dovedale etc. The cottage is comfortable and spacious with everything we needed for a great holiday. Dog friendly. Your dog will need to be well trained as the garden is not fenced off from the farm and is close proximity to the farm buildings which is a working dairy farm.

Mr Hart

Great little cottage, perfect for a couples getaway.. Good cooking facilities, cosy lounge, comfy beds. Couldn't ask for any more. The farm is also right on the Tissington Trail which was great too. The owner was friendly and helpful but at the same time we had a good amount of privacy as the cottage is set a little way away from the main house. The free flowing milk supply from the dairy farm was also an added bonus!
Mrs Mockridge

Lovely cottage and lovely owners.. Would highly recommend this cottage ❤️
Mrs Bowman

October 2016
The location is perfect.. Just off a busy main road but a feeling of being 'away from it all'. The only sounds you could hear came from the cows and birds. A very cosy house with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside and absolutely everything you need for either a short break or a longer holiday.
Mrs Grimmett, October 2016

This is a great cottage, very cosy yet spacious.. We loved the location, only 10 minutes for shopping in Ashbourne, yet you are open countryside with great views, places like Dovedale and Tissington very closeby. Made full use of the Tissington trail on bike and foot. Nice to be on a real working farm and getting fresh milk from the very friendly owners.

Fabulous cottage, simple, clean and comfortable. Great access to Tissington trail for cycling / hiking / running adventures. Three pubs within a couple of miles. Friendly helpful owners, working dairy farm for farm fresh milk and great views. Would stay here again
Mr Birnie, July 2016

We loved absolutely everything about this holiday and location.. It was lovely to see the cows be rounded up to be milked (some of which we had fresh on our cereal) and it was a real bonus that the Tissington trail ran right though the farm. The owners could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The cottage itself was the perfect base for our biking adventures and was well equipped with everything you could ever need or want. I would recommend this cottage in a heart beat. It is a working dairy farm and with that comes all the smells of the country which for us added to the charm.

The cottage was lovely. So roomy, clean and homely. The owners were really friendly and welcoming. The views are beautiful and we were lucky enough for it to snow the night we arrived. Sitting in the lounge at 3am watching it come down with a warm log fire was amazing! Walking around the area for hours was really refreshing, with great views all around, and points of interest along the way to the local village. It was a shame to leave!

The house was exactly what we needed, close to trail for walking and cycling. Close enough to the pub. When it was horrible weather the house was brilliant for staying cosy and dry! The owner was very chilled out and friendly. Enough parking for three cars or more. Loads of kitchen equipment. We would definitely recommend.

Croft house is situated on the edge of a busy dairy farm with easy access to the Tissington Trail . The views are lovely, we especially enjoyed the comings and goings of the dairy herd and the walks along the footpaths with our dog into the very picturesque village of Tissington. Good boots are required you are on a farm, but the cottage itself contains everything you could possibly need which is great because you are a little way from any shops. The location is very quiet and the accommodation very relaxing, there are lots of very nice places to eat in the surrounding villages but if you want to cater for yourselves the cottage has everything. The situation is great for visiting lots of Derbyshire's favourite tourist areas being very close to Dovedale, Ashbourne, Matlock, Bakewell and many others.

Ideal location situated a short distance from Tissington trail. Good walks and places to visit are close by. Being on a working farm was interesting and relaxing. Just watching the cows come and go to be milked was interesting and the milk delicious! Hosts are very informative and made us welcome. The views are lovely from the cottage. Perfect for an active holiday but you can relax and watch others pass on the tissington trail too.

The location was great for exploring the area and visiting Alton Towers.. I wish we had longer to see everything. The house was very well equipped and met all of our needs, with lovely décor and a really well equipped kitchen. It is a large house with lots of rooms and storage. Even just little touches like labelling switches is a huge help in a new house. The owner was so lovely to deal with so thank you very much!
