Guests say
Spingle Barn in the Peak District & Derbyshire Dales is highly praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and beautiful location. Guests enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, en-suite rooms, and outdoor spaces. The property is ideal for family gatherings and group stays, with special mentions of the games room and welcoming touches upon arrival.
Most guests found Spingle Barn to be clean and well-presented. However, a few mentioned areas such as under beds and tops of units that could use more attention, slightly lowering the score.

Guests were touched by the thoughtful welcome gifts such as wine, flowers, and fruit, although it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed and may vary.

Peaceful but close enough to local towns with a good local pub 2 mins walk. Well equipped kitchen and a good large dining table. On a sad note-water for the downstairs bathrooms was bordering on cold whereas the kitchen sink water was dangerously hot. Even the bathroom off the dining area shower was cutting out so unable to shower properly so had to share upstairs showers facilities. Games room tired and needs leaks mending. When leaving and stripping the beds, found a bad stain on the mattress cover which wasnât pleasant. Overall a lovely stay though.

There were ten family members celebrating an 80th birthday and we could not have hoped for anything better. The house is set in beautiful countryside and we had several wonderful walks. On our arrival we would have liked some clearer directions to access the premises once in Monyash. The satnav indicated the wrong entrance which was briefly confusing. One of the en suite bathrooms on the ground floor was for disabled guests so there was no lock on the toilet and the shower was lukewarm.

I would highly recommend. I will never use Sykes Cottages again. Their ploy of advertising a £10 deposit is a deceitful strategy when actually it commits you to paying a very large deposit a couple of months later.
