  • "Best place I have been to so far."

    Everything is thought about and the owners take great care of the property. It has everything you could ever need... Air fryer, coffee machine, microwave, gas bbq outside, hot tub (not very big, but nice anyway), all the necessities like aluminium foil, bin bags, TVs in every bedroom and also massive TV in the living room (not like other places), the only thing if you are thinking of cooking food take some salt & pepper, spices from home. We even found some cooking oil which was great. A bottle of prosecco to welcome guests, some playing cards and dominos available to play, netflix.... I could go on and on.. highly recommend

  • "A great stay at the Coach House."

    Had a very relaxing week. The Coach House had everything we needed to chill out and cook meals in the evening. The only things I would add to the kitchen is maybe a roasting try /casserole dish. Managed with what was there and there was plenty of crockery and pans but a dish to cook a chicken in may have helped a little! Karl was very welcoming, gave us a tour of the property on arrival and fixed an issue with the boiler promptly. The beds were huge and very comfortable and the hot tub a great place to relax in each evening. All in all a great week!

    Hi Emma, Thanks for your kind feedback and advice on the roasting tray. One has now been purchased. Disappointed comfort didn’t meet your expectations, and especially cleanliness, as I walked the cottage before your arrival, and I considered it tip top! You’ve mentioned you thought the beds were very comfortable, so what else could we do to improve comfort in the cottage for next time? Regards, Karl Property Owner

    The facilities provided were excellent and all aspects were covered from strong wi-fi to a full wet room with disabled facilities and of course the hot tub to relax in. What was unexpected were many extras from the hosts, such as Prosecco, Flowers, Tea, Coffee and Milk. Our host met us on arrival and could not have been more attentive to any of our needs during our stay. The countryside views from our decking area and pure peacefulness of the location made it a great place to unwind at the end of the day. Not much more you could ask for and no parking issues.

    It's in a beautiful location and very quiet. The owner Karl is really helpful without being intrusive. The beds are amazingly comfortable. The hot tub is a bonus although, beware: I hurt my back lifting the lid on and off on the first use - It's definitely a two person job and even then it's tricky due to the siting of the hot tub. The kitchen/dining room is very small but functional, with very little worktop space or user friendly cupboard space to store your groceries etc. Also, there is only a small fridge with a mini freezer compartment. but with several supermarkets 5 miles away we didn't need to buy too much in one go so we managed. Overall, we had such a nice relaxing time - just what we needed.

    Thanks for the feedback, Susan. Sorry to hear about you straining your back; it is a heavy lid so definitely a two-person job. I'm going to look into whether a bespoke lid-lifter can be made for the space available. Glad you had a nice relaxing time overall! Property Owner

    This is an exemplary cottage with attention to detail and comfort. Our week started as soon as we arrived with Karl (owner) giving us the introduction, nice bottle of Prosecco on ice and flowers - one happy wife! Cleanliness is second to none, beds extremely comfortable also. Beautiful quiet location, with amazing views. We came up to Derbyshire to see family and it was never a problem to have them over at any time. Our (9yr old) daughter made full use of the hot tub, as did we when we could. BBQ was excellent addition and with beer in hand, looking out over the views, there was nothing like it. 2 other properties adjacent but never intrusive, and if we needed anything at all - Karl (and his wife) were attendant immediately. Even daughter Pip brought over the new welcome back. We have stayed in several holiday lets in the UK with other companies, but this stands out for all the right reasons. Thoroughly recommend at any time of year and we will back - thankyou Karl and family.

    A great bed, the joys of the hot tub, a comfy lounge all made for a relaxing holiday. With convenience stores nearby in Rocester and a farm shop a bit further on your needs are well catered for. Countryside walks from the doorstep. So easy to find delightful scenery. We spent much of our time in Staffordshire close to base, including two days exploring the multitude of footpaths in the Churnet valley. If you don't mind driving country lanes you'll find astonishing and surprising vistas within just a few miles. Karl and Pip supplied useful local info to assist us. Good to know they are on hand to ensure you have an enjoyable trouble-free time. A small personal note (not a complaint): we love home-cooking when away and found there is not much food preparation space in the kitchen, but it wasn't a big problem and didn't detract from our pleasure.

  • "We had a wonderful time at Bank Top Farm."

    The accommodation was fantastic. We had plenty of space and the luxury of 2 bathrooms. The beds were huge and extremely comfortably. To sit in a hot tub and see the sun setting was so wonderful. The kids loved it all especially the garden Jenga; our little one used them as building blocks and he was in his element playing whilst we sat and had a drink. We were greeted by the owners who gave a very warm welcome - nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed some fantastic walks right from the property- thanks to the owners daughter who provided us with a map and walk options. Thank you so much to Bank Top Farm. We will return.

  • "This is a lovely holiday home with incredibly comfortable beds and Netflix available in both the sitting room and the bedrooms which the kids were over the moon about."

    The hot tub was a wonderful way of ending the day and made it possible to sit out under the stars in late October which is a great experience. Karl and Pip were both very friendly and helpful and the thoughtful extras - fizz, flowers, biscuits, milk - made our stay special. Thank you.

  • "Where do I begin?"

    How lucky were we to find this gem. From the picturesque surroundings, within easy reach of so many interesting places to visit, to the cosiest accommodation, finished to such a high standard, and with so many extra special touches. To the friendliest of welcomes, we felt at ease immediately. Well thought out even to accommodate two eighty year olds quite safely accompanied by two twenty year old grandchildren who were able to work efficiently from “home” with excellent Wi Fi connection. Intervals in the hot tub with shelter from the elements, but still incorporating such tranquil views was obviously an added bonus and with 24 hour 40 degree heating was wonderful after a days work. Lovely walking area. Owners have thought of everything for their guests comfort and we are looking at dates to come again. Thank you for a wonderful break. Maureen and Pete Ensor.

  • "Staying at this cottage was nothing short of amazing, from homely fixtures, decor, cinema lounge, all TVs with Netflix, the cosy fire place, big hot tub, to the way you're truly looked after from start to finish."

    The owners of this property recommended places to visit, to eat and went above and beyond to make us feel at home away from home. I could not find fault with anything, the thought that has gone into making an unforgettable experience for all that stay sets this cottage apart from the others. I cannot recommend this place more highly, truly a stay to remember! Thank you so much to everyone that made our stay so special, we look forward to our next stay at the cottage!

  • "We booked Bank Top Farm only a couple of weeks before we visited."

    How lucky we were. It’s new to Sykes cottages. The cottage is decorated beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you would need. We only slept in one room with there being only two of us. The bed was massive and very comfortable. The shower room is great. Not a powerful shower but adequate the floor gets quite wet but there is a squeegee mop to clean up. This project is all new to them and they love feed back to improve. The hot tub is wonderful. We went in every day about tea time and it was lovely to unwind after walking. Fantastic view from it. The heating is good. The TV is a smart tv so you can watch Netflix as a guest and all catch up on your sign in. The location of the cottage is good for driving to places. Pip has made a excellent picture board on the wall of nearby places to visit. We visited 3 of them and thoroughly enjoyed them. We did have a walk one evening and it’s easy to walk to a pub if you wanted to. Nearby is a Marks and Spencer food and an Aldi if you need to stock up. The owners live on site and couldn’t be more helpful. The cottage is peaceful and quiet and we couldn’t recommend it more. It’s wonderful.

  • "The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay."

    We especially enjoyed the hot tub! The location was fabulous, in the countryside, but close enough to plenty of amenities. There were plenty of thoughtful extras that made the stay extra special. The hosts were also lovely. Everything was very clean and it was clear extra measures were in place to ensure this was the case in the current pandemic. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this to others!

About the location

ASHBOURNE

Matlock 15.7 miles; Bakewell 16.6 miles; Chatsworth 20.4 miles.

Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th-century, the town was a fashionable social centre, and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by and for thrill seekers Alton Towers with its exciting collecting of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.
