Dog Friendly Buxton Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a very good property, and the space is great.

  It was well-positioned in the centre of Buxton, easy to park two cars, and extremely comfortable except for one bedroom (hence losing one mark). The house is very well equipped. It was easy to park, and Morrisons is only a walk away. You could have a good holiday here without a car, as everything is so close. Of the three double bedrooms, one has the boiler in, with a sign to not switch it off. However, having the boiler on meant the room roasted, and was extremely difficult to sleep in. Also, the boiler timer ticked incessantly all night, and anyone switching a tap on made a very loud noise in the pipes in that room. You could also hear any noise in the room below from there. My son and his wife who were in the room did switch the boiler off so they could sleep, which meant we had no hot water to shower in the morning until he woke up and we could switch it on again. Inside the house was very clean. However, outside, the gate to the neighbour's back yard was broken and off its hinges (and we had a dog with us), and the passage between the two houses was scruffy, particularly compared to others in the row, with broken slates, etc. on the ground (hence one mark off for cleanliness). Overall, we were very pleased with our stay, which we felt was better than our expectations.

  We have a lovely stay!

  Tracy introduced herself to us and gave us lots of information on the area. Tracy also guided us over the phone as, we turned up at the wrong cottage. Tracy gave us clear instructions over the phone, the night before. My wife and I terrible for finding places even, with a sat navigation. We couldn't find the plugs for our chargers so, we charged our phones in the car over night. Tracy find us a kind mechanic who, recharched our car for us. The paddock by the cottage is ideal for dogs and beautiful views. There are 2 benchs on the paddock so, ideal for somebody like me with bad knees. There is a pub not far away called The church Inn, very nice food and very large portions. The only downside to the trip is no Internet & limited phone connection. This only affected us as, I couldn't check on family members. There is a telephone box down the road however, it didn't appear to work. Overall a very quiet friendly village & most people you pass acknowledged you. Thank you again Tracy for making our stay so special. Linda & Donna

  From the moment we opened the door the cottage more than met our expectations.

  The accommodation (providing an ideal base for a couple) was spotlessly clean, warm, cosy and very welcoming. Everything we needed was provided with the addition of a welcome pack which was appreciated. We enjoyed the large screen television with DVDs provided, (just like being at the cinema without the popcorn), and we could even watch TV in bed if we wanted. All facilities from kitchen equipment to the shower were excellent and parking was very convenient. The cottage is well situated for walking in the Peak District and some walks can be done straight from the door. We were very lucky and were treated to the unexpected February sunshine for our long walks. The weather combined with the lovely accommodation ensured that this was a very enjoyable holiday. We certainly hope to return in the future. (If published please do not use our actual names - thank-you)

  This property was booked at extremely short notice on 18 January!

  From first finding the property on the Sykes' website, we arrived in the property six hours later! On arrival the cottage was clean and all the electric heaters were on full. The cottage was cold, which was understandable, as the owners had very little time to prepare for out visit - but within a few hours the cottage had warmed up and was very comfortable. The equipment which was available was of a very good quality, e.g 50in TV in the main living area, Dyson vacuum cleaner, which is not our common experience in small rental properties! There was good communication from the owners who are very local if help should be needed (not so in our case) and a lovely welcome pack was available on arrival. We had a most relaxing few days in a very peaceful location and a cosy cottage.

  Cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived.

  Lounge was comfortable, only thing lacking was a small coffee table, we had to put mugs on floor on coasters which could have lead to accidently spillage. Kitchen was small but facilities in it were satisfactory. Bedroom was large and views from Sunset Window was lovely. Bed was too hard for me but that is just a personal opion and everybody is different. Bathroom was a squeeze. Saying all this it is only a cottage for two people. Cottage was in a good area for walking. We walked straight from the door and called in at the local pub The Church Inn on finishing our walks. As cottage was down hill from the pub it was ideal for rolling down after having had a few. Buxton and Bakewell were close by which was ideal. We would certainly consider coming back.
