  It was spotlessly clean and the heating was on so we walked into a nice warm place.

• "A charming cottage in a great location."

  The facilities are excellent and of a high quality. The walk back from town and the stairs maybe an issue for some folks. Only one niggle the heating was on constantly so it was rather hot, but that is nothing really. We would definitely stay here again.

• "Very nice well equipped cottage in a nice quiet location."

  Seriously let down by cleanliness. The cooker was so filthy we could not use it fir fear that it would spoil food. Toilet brush holder in first floor toilet was disgusting. We ended up having to spend far more on take out food than we liked. I intend to email Sykes separately regarding the disgusting state of the cooker and pans.

• "I realised I’d left a pair of expensive cycling shoes at the property within an hour of leaving."

  2.5 weeks later and numerous WhatsApp’s, calls you claim you couldn’t reach the cleaner and couldn’t locate the shoes. Finally after I repeatedly asked you reminded me that the cleaners number was on the key email - wow 1 minute later Kelly located the shoes. This is a complaint - your systems are clearly not robust and you’ve let me down badly. Evidence suggests that you didn’t even bother to contact the cleaner. It’s really not that hard. I will never use Sykes Cottages again.

• "My friends and I had an enjoyable stay in wyebrow cottage."

  The cottage was clean and comfortable. The cottage is situated on a hillside about a 10 minute walk out of Bakewell and is well placed for visiting the surrounding Towns and villages. There are plenty of shops to explore in Bakewell along with several pubs and cafes. I would recommend wyebrow cottage however, the stairs are quite narrow and steep so probably not suitable for people with mobility problems.

• "The cottage was great 3 bed but importantly 3 bath."

  The stairs are steep so if you have little ones or you are not good on stairs chose another place. It is a brilliant cottage and location The wood burner was a hit especially since we had an issue with the central heating. On that I need to say that the management company were fantastic about fixing it, they were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this place

• "This is a lovely property."

  It was clean and comfortable. It looks like a traditional terrace with a beautiful small garden to the front of the property with seated area, however inside it has a lovely modern interior. Well fitted bathrooms, kitchen & lovely bedrooms and the view from the top floor is gorgeous. The lounge area is spacious and reasonably comfortable (sofa and chairs look nice but aren't very comfortable but that's just a personal opinion) The property has lots of stairs so be cautious if you have mobility issues Parking for one car & a 10 minute walk into beautiful Bakewell We would defo stay again as there's so much to see & this cottage is lovely.

• "The stench from the drains was dreadful."

  We found this was generated from the basement floor bathroom. We simply avoided using this and it wasn’t a problem for the rest of our stay, although I pity anyone having to use the basement bedroom and bathroom. The first floor shower was blocked and didn’t drain but we fixed this ourselves using Mr Muscle bought from the the Co-op in town. Otherwise the house was clean and the views fantastic.

• "Hi we really enjoyed our stay at Wyebrow cottage."

  The cottage was very clean, spacious and well equipped. I was very impressed by how quickly the owner fixed the boiler for us when it broke during our stay. The upstairs bedroom had an extra toilet and sink which we weren’t expecting. I am very concerned however that the window in the downstairs en-suite bedroom fell outwards on to my elderly Mum and gave her a nasty bruise on the head! I strongly feel that the window is a dangerous hazard and should be checked over!

• "A perfect cottage for our family break, with two bathrooms."

  The cottage was very warm - but that is preferable to not being warm enough. Another welcome feature is that it is doggy friendly. Previous comments about the lack of hand wash and toilet paper were helpful as it allowed me to bring these items - I was disappointed that this had not been addressed. The proximity to beautiful Bakewell was great, with the added bonus of the food festival over the bank holiday weekend. All in all a fab cottage

• "Wyebrow Cottage was extremely comfortable and well equipped and our review would have had top scores across the board had it not been for two things that let it down."

  Firstly the hand wash in all 3 bathrooms / toilets was almost empty and not a lot in the kitchen either. Secondly all 3 toilet rolls were almost all gone and there wasn't even one left as a spare. In a cottage of this quality, these small things were unexpected and unnecessary.

  Good parking. We were 3 couples so being able to park on the road as well as by the cottage was great. Cottage pretty clean but some cobwebs and stains on sheets. A few things had been written on the list in the kitchen by previous renters but not dealt with - fridge makes loud noise, heating set too high, knob had come off dishwasher so door couldn't be opened, chipped mugs need replacing.

  Way above expectations. However the access is not suitable for elderly people if they are not fit. However the lovely location more than made up for this. It is one of the best self catering properties I have stayed in. Lots of info on area very well equipped I had reason to contact the cleaning service and they were very helpful. useful provisions in the kitchen, as I forgot tea and coffee we could have a drink before rushing to the shop. We also felt it was good value for money.

• "It was a lovely cottage in a great location which was very peaceful."

  However despite information stating that the heating and towel rails came on they didn’t and there were no instructions. I rang the contact and advised that there are numerous comments in the visitor book stating the same issue and yet nothing has been done about it. We had to manually turn it on morning and evening and it seemed that if you tried to put it on outside ‘set times’ it didn’t come on. Really disappointing and not what you expect having paid over £600. There was an hour wait to call Sykes due to Covid so was unable to speak to anyone. Also there was no mattress protector which we only found out when we stripped the bed which is unacceptable in these COVID times. Also would recommend that people are advised to put everything in the dishwasher before they leave and cleaners unload with gloves so you know it is all clean. This was done at the cottage we stayed at prior to this and we felt very safe using everything.

• "We enjoyed the holiday."

  I personally felt a little uncomfortable of the sofas and the bedroom on the lowest floor (i thought was the same level as the livingroom but wasnt) was hard to get at the right temperature. Other than that it was a nice place. I would choose to avoid the hill to get to it again (my dog needs a stroller) for short dog walks nearby (although this is on the information i had underestimated it).

• "This was one of the most comfortable, well-equipped and well-maintained cottages we have ever stayed in."

  Despite it being a mid-terrace cottage, it housed 5 people and a very large dog with ease. Just a couple of small niggles: it would be useful to have some better and fuller instructions for the heating; instructions with regard to disposal of rubbish at the end of the stay. Finally, I think the description of the property doesn't make it clear enough that the en-suite 'cloakroom' is just that and the property should not really be described as having '3 bathrooms'. Overall we would happily return.

• "The cottage had been quite recently completely and tastefully renovated to provide very comfortable accommodation."

  It was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. It hadn’t been a rental cottage for long and there were a few minor things which could be done to improve it. For example, there was only one tea towel provided, no kitchen towel and no spare loo rolls. These few items would have made it more a home from home. However, I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wishing to spend time in this area and would certainly book again in the future.

• "A lovely, clean and well maintained cottage on 3 levels."

  Really enjoyed the view from the top floor. All the appliances were new and the kitchen is well stocked. The one disadvantage for people arriving by public transport is that they need to check the bus times to get to the cottage as they are few and far between during the Summer Season and stop by 5.00pm. I gather that they run more frequently up to the afore time mentioned during School Term times. We were unable to get a taxi to the cottage although we did try several. It is a steep hill to get up there for people who for various reasons, are not physically able to manage it.

• "The cottage is beautifully fitted out and a short ( though hilly ) walk into town."

  Easy to get out and about in the Peaks. A few things could improve though. Currently the cottage next door is being renovated and though the builders did try to be quiet they arrived at 7am which disturbed those in the bedroom downstairs. A pre warning regarding the building work would have been appreciated. The downstairs bedroom has the back door in it and has glass with nothing to stop the light getting in in the morning... a curtain or solid door would improve this. I hope this doesn’t sound negative as all in all we had a wonderful time and the cottage setting is fantastic. The downstairs shower room has no shelving for putting toiletries on and this would be useful.
