"This is a lovely spacious well maintained holiday home in a very convenient location."
The owners were helpful and available if needed. The only disappointment was that you could not admire the view to the garden and beyond from the lounge as there were no windows on that side. I cannot imagine that the owners would have missed such an opportunity to have windows facing the view. I suspect, therefor, that they were not permitted to do so by the planning authority when the conversion was done.

The owners made us very welcome, and the whole property, surroundings and location are simply so very perfect In my view everything about this property is beyond 5 Star
Well, what more can I say other than a huge thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful comments. I would also like to thank you for leaving The Dairy so clean and tidy, it was very much appreciated. Hopefully I will have the pleasure of meeting you again sometime in the future. Thank you once again. Property Owner

"Absolutely stunning property and one of the nicest that we have ever stayed in and was great for our family get together."
Beautiful layout and everything you might need is there for you. A welcoming gift from the host, Gill, was waiting for us when we arrived which was another lovely touch. Would highly recommend.

"The Dairy is a lovely property with large spacious rooms that have been done to a very high standard."
The garden overlooks a large field that was awash with beautiful wild flowers. Providing a lovely setting for evening drinks. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil, cutlery and crockery you could imagine. Gill was a lovely host and only next door if you had any questions. Would highly recommend and will be booking again.

"The property owner was lovely and very friendly and helpful."
She made us very welcome. The only advice I would give is to remove most of the china ornaments if letting to families.
Thank you for your kind feedback which is very much appreciated. I usually leave it to the parents discretion to remove anything they think may get broken but thank you for your advice. Property Owner

"Outstanding!"
Best Sykes property we have stayed in and there have been many. Absolutely spotless, all equipment, bedding, towels and furniture is of the highest standard. Extremely spacious, beds and seating extremely comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Lovely and warm with underfloor and radiator heating. Gill is a wonderful host and takes so much care to ensure you enjoy your stay. Two staircase for bedroom privacy. Situated in a gated courtyard close to all amenities. Thank you Gill for sharing your wonderful property and would highly recommend 5 star plus.

"Probably the best cottage we've ever stayed in!"
Everything was perfect. The greeting when we arrived, the welcome gifts in the kitchen, the comfortable (extremely) chairs, the warmth and hot water, the bedrooms and beds, and the space! Absolutely fabulous. Kept us well protected and comfortable during the cold spell of early March. None better. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the feedback, your comments are very much appreciated. It was a pleasure to meet you all and I am so pleased you were comfortable and enjoyed your stay in The Dairy. Thanks again. Property Owner

"The Dairy absolutely merits the 5 star rating."
It is spacious, imaculate, well equipped and beautifully furnished. Gill, the owner, ensures those visiting her delightful Grade 2 farm conversion are welcome and comfortable for their holiday. (Of course, the welcome bottle of wine and other items to enjoy help) The Dairy is set in beautiful surroundings with many places of interest nearby and worth visiting. The Dairy exceeded our highest expectations.
Thank you for your feed back and kind words which are very much appreciated. I am so pleased to know The Dairy exceeded your highest expectations, your comments really do make the effort and hard work very worthwhile. Property Owner

"What a beautiful holiday cottage."
Spotlessly clean and perfectly presented. Gill was lovely, very responsive before we arrived and very welcoming. The property is warm, quiet and comfortable, well equipped and has lovely views. Eastwood has a surprisingly good range of restaurants and pubs within east walking distance. Particularly recommend the Gamekeeper if you like real ale.
Thank you, it was a pleasure to meet you. I am very grateful for your feedback and lovely comments which are very much appreciated. Property Owner

"We cannot praise 'The Dairy' enough."
We loved the space and the location. A very generous welcome package and personal welcome from Gill, the owner, got our time there off to a great start. The attention to detail and the beauty of 'The Dairy' made our experience a very special one. Thank you 3 senior citizen couples, Birmingham

"We enjoyed a lovely week at The Dairy, a carefully restored conversion of the highest quality."
Gill could not have been more helpful as the owner. All amenities were well catered for with spares of most things if needed. One of the cleanest and best organised properties we have had the pleasure to stay in. Highly recommended and excellent value for money.

"The Dairy was really lovely, and one of, if not the best holiday let we have stayed in to date."
Everything we needed was provided in the property, and it was really clean and comfortable. We could not fault the accommodation. Gill, the owner was a lovely lady, and whilst being around to help, left us alone to enjoy our time there. We will certainly consider returning at some time in the future.
Thank you for your kind comments which make all the hard work worth while. It was my pleasure to meet you all and should you decide to return in the future, you will be warmly welcomed. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at the Dairy."
It suited our needs perfectly. We stayed here with my in laws whilst we attended a wedding nearby. The property was immaculately clean and there was lots of space, so we didn’t feel like we were encroaching on one another. It was very well equipped, having a travel cot, highchair, bath mats etc really helped with the little ones. Gill was a wonderful host and made our stay very comfortable. I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you very much for having us.
-
"Fabulous house for a friends reunion."
Three couples, each enjoyed a large en-suite, bedroom. A generous goody basket on arrival in the huge, well equipped kitchen made for enjoyable cooking and relaxing .... every detail thought about. All just lovely, well situated for exploring, quiet surroundings and so cheap (in Feb!)
-
"The cottage was warm, comfortable, cosy and well equipped to make it a real home from home."
The welcome basket and milk were very much appreciated. A fabulous property with lovely, helpful owners.
Thank you for your lovely comments Sally, they are very much appreciated Property Owner

"Our stay at The Dairy was amazing."
The photos do not do it justice - it is so spacious, clean and beautifully presented. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. As 6 adults, we all commented on how much space we had and what good value it was. It was great that all rooms had an ensuite. Gill was a fantastic host and kept in contact throughout. It is located within easy walking distance of pubs, restaurants and tea rooms. Would 100% recommend.

"An amazing and spacious property, immaculately presented."
The owners were friendly and helpful - particularly in accommodating our son, his friends & the photographer on the morning of his wedding !

"What a fabulous cottage the Dairy is."
The host, Gill, was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, even leaving us a welcome basket. The cottage itself is enormous and spotlessly clean. The cupboards contain everything you will ever need on holiday and there are so many lovely touches to the property, it feels like being in a very tidy, comfortable home. The property is set behind shared automatic gates that gives you that extra security for your vehicle and is easy to find. There isn't any internet, that might put some off but I was able to access it via my phone so was no trouble for me. There are really no words to explain just how fabulous this place is and although I have stayed in loads of cottages over the years, this, without a doubt, is the very best. Thank you.

"It is the best Sykes Cottage we have stayed at , it really had the WOW factor and more."
Gill, the owner was always available to help us to enjoy our stay, a lovely lovely lady. She even sent us a message to enquiry if we arrived home safely. We hope to find another place the same next year.

"The house was amazing."
It felt like such a special place to have a family holiday. Gill was very welcoming and happy to help with anything. We also loved the thoughtful gift basket. I would definitely recommend this cottage, it was beautiful and in such a peaceful setting

"This is an extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage, absolutely lovely to come back to after a day out."
The owner (next door) was extremely helpful, nothing too much trouble. It is also an excellent centre to explore both Nottinghamshire and parts of the Peak District. Most places are now open despite coronavirus, but some need booking in advance. We had days out at Southwell, Newstead Abbey, Sherwood Forest, Bolsover Castle, Peak District, and the excellent Framework Knitters Museum in Ruddington. We would wholeheartedly recommend this lovely cottage.
