"Curlew Cottage is placed in the middle of beautiful countryside with amazing views from the windows as well as the terrace."
The parking is good and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. Despite its remote location, it was very easy to get around to places of interest, of which there are many. The kitchen was well equipped and the open plan layout of the living/dining room worked very well.

Wonderfully comfortable and quiet. Everything we could have needed was there. We would certainly visit this cottage again. Thankyou

"Excellent cottage with all the facilities anyone could want."
It could benefit if Wifi was available.
Thanks for your review. Just wanted to let you know we now have wifi in all our properties. Property Owner

"Very pleasent stay."
The property is to a high standard, well presented/equipped and more than spacious enough for two. The location, though remote, is not too far (10 miles give-or-take) from the principle towns of Buxton, Matlock and and Bakewell. Ideal for the older couple (as we are!) who enjoy walking, meandering through the Peak District and can (happily) live without Internet access for a while
Thank you for your kind review. I just wanted to let you know we now have wifi in all our properties. Property Owner

"Wonderful place to be in a heatwave as it was so cool inside the cottage and you could relax and look out at the beautiful scenery,then sit out and watch the sunset."
A lovely place of peace to relax after a busy day of walking with excellent facilities.We will definitely be back.
-
"Excellent work done on setting up the cottage."
It was in a nice location and so quiet. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to think we can visit again in the near future.
-
"Fantastic location and lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need."
..except Wi Fi, but perhaps that was a blessing. Helpful hosts with lots of useful recommendations on where to eat etc.
-
"Curlew Cottage was excellent with a friendly welcome from the owners."
Quiet and remote its ideal for couples. All the facilities we needed. The shower has a mind of its own but it works with some tinkering of the controls! Otherwise impossible to fault and everything to praise!
-
"Curlew cottage was a last minute find for us as we decided to extend our holiday in Staffordshire and how lucky we were."
It is a really lovely, clean, well equipped and comfortable cottage in a lovely position with views for miles and walks from the door. Sitting on the decking watching curlews, hares and deer so close was really special. The owners Claire and Garry were really friendly, welcoming and gave us some good info on walks in the area. I'm sure we will stay there again. Pat and Graham

"A lovely cottage in a beautiful, quite location."
Comfortable and warm (even when snow was falling outside) with a well equipped kitchen and a good sized bath. The property was accurately described and it is an excellent base for exploring the Peak District. Curlew Cottage lived up to its name with the burbling call of curlews heard and which could be seen in the adjacent fields. (In early April.)
-
"Very comfortable and warm, with everything provided."
Beautiful setting, stunning countryside and will return to do some more exploring.
-
"Overall very good shower a bit disappointing"
-
"Wonderful week away at Curlew Cottage !"
Situated on a farm with lovely views over the fields beyond. It really is a home from home. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The kitchen has everything you could wish for and more. Ideally located for day trips out around the Peak District area. We will definitely be returning next year.
-
"This was our fourth visit to this property."
The view from the cottage windows is one we always enjoy.
-
"Our third visit to this wonderful home from home cottage together with amazing views and a great location to explore the Peak District."
Will definitely make a return visit .
-
"An amazing week in the Peak District in a great cottage."
It was home from home for us and the cottage was immaculate. Very cosy and warm and had everything you needed. Would recommend to others.
-
"We walked into the property and immediately felt at home."
Everything about it met our expectations, which is not always the case. The property was clean and well layed-out, the furniture comfortable and the view amazing. It was a fantastic base to explore the Peak District and the Derbyshire Dales. We live within minutes of Exmoor, and have found in our travels that nothing compares to the area, until now. We will visit again.
-
"Great peacful location away from it all but well placed to access all the places of interest in Derbyshire and Staffordshire."
Plenty of interesting places to visist with half an hour and plenty of decent pubs, Lovely cottage for two with everythingh you need for a comfortable stay Cottage would benefit from wifi is only minor improvement that could be made
-
"My partner and I stayed at curlew for 6 nights at the beginning of August, the cottage far surpassed our expectations."
Beautiful clean cosy cottage in stunning surroundings. Curlew had everything you could need provided, even tea and biscuits on arrival. The outdoor decking area is just lovely, we sat outside for dinner a couple of nights as the weather was just perfect, beautiful view's across the fields. Be sure to read the small print as WiFi is not available, but after the first day you get used to not having it. The hosts were very helpful and friendly answering all our questions even on a Sunday night. We had plenty of lovely walks and trips to country pubs, took several trips to local areas, buxton wasn't too far and had lots to do and see. Absolutely beautiful place to stay, I would go back In heart beat.
-
"We were very lucky with the weather being very hot during our stay and at times we needed to take cover from the sun when sitting on the outside decking area."
Unfortunately there was no sun umbrella at the cottage to give us some protection. We appreciate that our weather in so unpredictable.We have stayed at the cottage twice before and never needed a Sun umbrella . Everything else at the cottage was what we expected.
-
"Excellent views and cosy clean cottage."
-
"A really lovely cottage in a really lovely area."
The cottage was clean, well furnished, cosy and well stocked with everything you might need. The owners were very helpful from contacting in advance with key collection details and directions to leaving some treats for our arrival. The views from both bedroom & lounge are magnificent. A perfect base from which to explore the Peaks. Will return!
-
"Lovely cottage, and very handy for both the highlights of Derbyshire and Staffordshire."
-
"Beautiful warm contemporary cottage with views across the moors."
. Watched stags from living room window..
-
"If you want to get away from it all, this is the place."
Peace and quiet with superb views on your doorstep. Cottage was perfect for two people, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Places like Buxton, Matlock Spa and Bakewell are all a short drive away, as well as good walking and hiking venues. Good fish & chips in Longnor.
-
"We had a good time and the weather was kind."
Poor lighting throughout, but warm. No. hooks or shelves in bathroom. We were there for 7 nights and not once did the owners speak to us which we found quite amazing as other quests said they were friendly, they were only found the corner, at least the cat was happy to see us!
Many thanks for your feedback. The towel and the rack of wicker baskets has always been more than adequate in the bathroom. We changed all the light bulbs in the cottage to energy saving ones but we have extra lighting under the kitchen wall units and a brighter reading lamp available for close up reading. We will however look at upgrading the lamps again. With regard to not meeting you, we have been advised to have as little contact as possible within the properties from Sykes Cottages, but by chance we have bumped into a few guests in the parking area. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet you on this occasion as we have 5 holiday cottages and have had changeovers every day. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings and with some nice personal touches"
-
"Absolutely loved our stay here, the cottage is perfect for a couple to get away from it all."
The views are fantastic from all around, with the added bonus of the decking which catches the sun all day. Great location and base for walking/exploring the Peaks. Will be returning!
-
"Very friendly hosts."
extremely well presented cottage with plenty of information lots of lovely walks
-
"The lighting in the cottage was very poor, especially for reading and looking at maps."
There was a bath but not enough hot water to fill it to a reasonable depth. The windows didn't open very much and you couldn't leave the door open because of the cat.
-
"As a person with some walking disability issues I found Curlew Cottage very easy to cope with."
The gravel drive could cause some problems on accessing the cottage but we were able to back our car right up to the door and the start of the wooden decking area which was nice and firm.(driving away on the gravel needs to be SLOW!) The views from the decking area were amazing and could also be seen from all the windows of this very well equipped cottage.The welcome gift of delicious local cheese and oatcake biscuits from the kind and helpful owners was much appreciated.We would highly recommend this lovely cottage in a beautiful and peaceful spot making for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

"I presumed there would be WIFI already at the home but, wasn’t a big deal as the views were fantastic so it wasn’t a huge issue."
-
"Top banana"

"What a wonderful cottage."
Stunning views (when the mist cleared) matched by a warm welcome. There was everything that we needed. Will certainly be returning next year.
-
"People might want to be aware that there is no WiFi and there is no mobile signal (although that may depend on your provider)."
For some that may be a good thing!
-
"Third time staying ."
Enjoyed it once again .very friendly owners .lovely setting .
-
"This is my second visit to Curlew Cottage."
It was every bit as good as last time. The owners are friendly and welcoming and the cottage is comfortable and well equipped. The view from the cottage is wonderful and it is in a great location for exploring both Derbyshire and the Staffordshire Moorlands. I would recommend it. The only thing it doesn't have is Wi-Fi but that is made clear on the website.
-
"Lovely stone cottage with everything you could want."
Very clean with modern bright interior. We were fortunate to have sunny weather and really enjoyed having breakfast outside watching the curlews landing nearby. Although there is no internet we could easily catch up on emails at The Manifold Inn nearby. The cottage is well situated for trips out whether walking, cycling or visiting Buxton, Chatsworth and Bakewell. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.
-
"Given that this property is rather isolated and there was a lack of up to date leaflets regarding things in the area, I think the availability of wifi is a must."
I did not want to keep up with emails etc. but I wanted to carry out research, check opening times, check the weather as the tv did not seem to offer a weather forecast for the area we were in. I wanted to find out more about walks in the area and the cycle trails but there was nothing in the cottage to help. We picked up a load of new leaflets and left them in the cottage which may help later occupants. The property itself was excellent apart from the lighting which was very poor and it was nearly impossible to read given the poor level of lighting. The shower ran hot and cold but that was probably due to poor water pressure as there was another cottage behind us. We loved the cheese which was left by our hosts and I would stay at Curlew Cottage again but only if wifi was available.
-
"The cottage owners are extremely helpful and caring."
-

-
"We had an excellent time, the hosts were friendly and welcoming."
The cottage was clean, cosy and met all our needs. The views from the cottage were stunning, we had a lovely week and would go again.
-
"Not really."
The hosts were welcoming and helpful. We have limited mobility and felt safe apart from one tumble on the gravel which we learnt to negotiate better!
-
"The only reason we wouldn't re-book this property is because we would want to discover another area."
We feel we have fully covered the immediate area.
-
"Lovely property, beautiful views."
Made very welcome by the owners. Will definitely be going back for a holiday.
-
"This was a beautiful cottage in a lovely setting."
The owners were both helpful and friendly, always ready to provide advice and suggestions of places to visit. The fact that I have stated that I would re-book this cottage, says it all.
-
"This was our second visit, so clearly we thought the cottage was OK!"
-

Everything you need in the cottage and close to many interesting places to visit.

About the location
HARTINGTON
Bakewell 10 miles; Buxton 10 miles.
Hartington, situated in the Dove Valley in the Peak District National Park, was an important market centre in the Middle Ages, having been granted a market charter in 1203. Today the ever-popular village boasts lovely tea rooms, a cheese shop, old curiosity shops, traditional pubs and a splendid market square where the stone-carved village pump, once an important source of water for the villagers, still stands on the green. The local bars stock local ales brewed at the Leatherbritches Brewery in Fenny Bentley and Whim Ales in Hartington itself. The former Hartington railway station, about a mile and half from the village itself, is now a picnic area and the converted track is known as the Tissington Trail, popular with both walkers and cyclists. Hartington is also a good starting point for walking along Beresford Dale, a beautiful place with its curiously formed cliffs and rocks. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are both within a 20 minute drive, and Alton Towers is within easy reach.
Note: Adults and infants only.
