Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a few guests mentioned areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as an unemptied dustpan. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a common trend.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, proximity to local attractions, and the convenience of a nearby pub. The scenic views and easy access to walking trails add to the appeal, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed and powerful shower. Some guests mentioned issues with the sofa and a desire for a larger TV, indicating room for improvement in the overall comfort of the living space.
The cottage is equipped with necessary facilities, but guests noted a lack of certain kitchen utensils, a sharper knife, and initial wood for the burner. The small TV size was also a common critique. These points suggest that while the basics are covered, there is potential for enhancing the facilities provided.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on the available information.

On arrival little to indicate that this was the actual cottage we were staying in. The cottage was very basic. It was warm. In our opinion, of the many we have stayed in...not one of the best sykes cottages.. disappointing.

Nice and warm. We couldn't get the fan in the oven to work. It may be us or the oven.

Even as Storm Babet raged, it was a warm and comfortable sanctuary. Loads of great walking, close access to the Tissington & High Peaks Trail networks & some terrific coffee shops in nearby Ashbourne. Be sure to have a dinner at the Okeover Arms - very close-by. I'll be booking for next year soon!
