• "Dishwasher door faulty )as it was."

  2 years ago) and took skin off my shin. Oven filthy as were most of the pans/trays. We had too clean most things before we were comfortable using them. My common complaint - do Sykes ever check the property and review the accommodation.

  Thank you for the feedback, with regards to the dishwasher, I have no idea what you are talking about and I will investigate this asap. The oven is cleaned regularly and the oven was replaced since your last visit, so I will investigate. When guests report issues to us during their stay, we respond promptly. However, we can only fix them if we know about them. If you had made us aware of these issues during your stay using the contact details in the flat or via Sykes, we could have rectified the problem swiftly for you. Property Owner

• "Mostly fine."

  The flat is by and large comfortable and warm. The living room suffers a bit from the hole in the bottom left of the window frame and the radiator being a little less efficient as the rest of the flat (possibly just needs bleeding). The bedrooms were nice and warm, beds very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked, especially crockery. There was a nice package of milk, doughnuts and wine waiting for us, a very nice touch.

• "Brilliant stay at Southgate."

  Such a central location. Apartment very roomy and lots of space for us and our 3 children. Great kitchen with all the appliances you would require and more. John even sorted out the collection of our daughters backpack that we had left behind! Thanks again would definitely return.

  Apologies regarding the toilet paper as this is normally supplied, the cleaners must have simply forgotten it. Property Owner

• "The apartment was perfect for us."

  Ii is close to the town centre and to restaurants so we did not need to use the car in the evenings. The property was clean and had all the equipment we needed. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. The welcome pack was great as we arrived well after the shops had closed and it was good not to have to go out early the next day to get milk, tea, etc. No negative points, except we wished we had been able to stay longer!

• "We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment."

  The beds and sofas were very comfortable! Which was obviously a huge bonus, as a lot of the time these are the things that let a place down. It was great the have a washing machine and airer to use. If we were to come to Buxton again we would consider staying here again. It’s close to all amenities and the welcome pack was wonderful, thank you! I would just like to mention that the cooker needs some TLC. My husband tried to clean out the air vent in the oven just above the door opening, it doesn’t seem to stop circulating and was gunked up with dust, dirt and grime and in need of a good clean. Also the shower & screen was also in need of a good clean around the seals of the shower controls etc. Sorry to end on negativity but feel it’s good for the owners to know.

• "A really nice basement flat virtually in the heart of Buxton."

  Very clean with all the facilities you could possibly require. Chilly in Buxton in November but the flat was cosy and warm at all times. Five minutes walk at most to the centre of Buxton with plenty of places to eat and shop plus the attractions of the pavilion, gardens and opera house. Off road parking was a boon. Nice touches in providing milk, tea, coffee, sugar and delicious chocolate cake. Would highly recommend this property and hopefully stay there again sometime.

• "We had a lovely stay at 1 Southgate."

  The flat was lovely and warm and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was spotless and was well equipped and the bathroom was equally clean. John seemed very friendly and helpful when I queried one or two minor things with him. Two suggestions for improvements: 1) It would be helpful to have a clothes airer in the house for any wet clothes when visitors come back from walking in poor weather. 2) Although the stairway to the flat is very well lit, the lighting at the front of the house is very poor so it would be good to have a security light or something at the front to prevent accidents.

• "We loved staying here, the apartment was beautifully furnished and well equipped."

  Parking was a bit of a pain, rarely any space in the shared parking area, meaning we had to park round the corner on the street. It was super close to Pavilion Gardens and the town centre, and a quick drive out to many beautiful walks. We would happily stay again.

• "1, Southgate, Buxton 1, Southgate is the third holiday cottage in Buxton that we have rented through Sykes."

  It’s benefits are, firstly, the central location, with on-site parking, which is a major bonus in the town of Buxton. Secondly, the apartment is unusually spacious – the main bedroom would easily accommodate a full-sized snooker table! Daylight is slightly restricted, although this is to be expected in any lower ground floor apartment. The external stairway is easy to navigate, even with luggage; has good handrailing and can be illuminated for safe access at night. Generally speaking, the apartment is definitely up to the high standards that one expects from Sykes, and was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. We have no hesitation in recommending this apartment, and we expect to visit it again in the future.

• "This flat is a very comfortable place to stay in Buxton."

  We had our 2 grandkids with us and they loved it. Very close to all the amenities in Buxton and the local Sainsbury was very useful. The Coach House fish and chip shop on the main road was excellent. The heating in the flat was very efficient and helped us to get the kids clothes dry after days playing in the park and woods. The timing and clock controls on the oven were tricky even with the instructions and there seemed to be some airflow at the top of the oven ( not the oven fan) which we couldnt turn off. However we were able to use it for cooking. Overall had a great week in the property.

  The apartment was clean, and well appointed with everything we required. The centre of Buxton was within a five minute walk, so it was easy to pop to the shops, to good places to eat & to local attractions. We were able to visit were many places of interest from stately homes, gardens to charming villages, all well worth a visit using Southgate as a base. It's a winner.

• "Just back from a lovely stay in Buxton."

  The property is furnished with simple but quality items, beds were extremely comfortable, kitchen is well equipped and the little extras (tea & coffee, loo rolls, dishwasher tablets, teatowels) very welcome. No faults or issues whilst we were there. The property itself is close enough to walk into the town whilst still being on a quiet street, pavillion gardens, shops, pubs all within a few moments walk. The property has a parking space which is important as on-street parking nearby is hard to come by - something to be aware of if you bring a second vehicle. Would happily stay here again next time we visit the area.

• "Loved our stay in Buxton and would highly recommend this flat."

  Simple in decoration but extremely clean and tidy with spacious rooms. Plenty of space for a family to stay here with 2 large bedrooms, 1 room has a single and double bed, and the other a double bed. For a basement flat, it was surprisingly light and airy, and the flat was very quiet. Well equipped with plenty of kitchen utensils, high chair and cot, washing machine, good internet and a large tv. We also received chocolates and a bottle of Prosecco on arrival, a great touch! The flat is 2 streets away from the centre of town, but situated up a slight hill so away from any noise. Easy 2 min walk to town, and a couple minutes more to the beautiful parade gardens. Great location! There’s a Sainsbury’s local a couple of mins walk away as well. We had a great stay, and would definitely recommend to others looking for a staycation this summer. Thanks for hosting us!

• "Well located and very clean and comfortable apartment."

  The kitchen was well equipped, in fact it was better equipped than any other self-catering place we have stayed in. We did take our own washing up liquid and tea bags/sugar and many other things, but the owner had thought of everything. It was good to have towels provided. It was a lovely touch for the owner to leave us a bottle of wine and chocolates. The beds were very comfortable. Rooms were all spacious and we liked the large screen TV. Regarding the kitchen utensils and crockery, it was good to see everything sparkling clean. The location could not have been better. It was close to the shops, bus stops, pubs and restaurants and even close to the gardens (once you know the short cut). We would definitely book this property again and would definitely use Sykes again.

  A couple of items I would have liked in the kitchen but not a problem. Central for shops, pubs and restaurants and has the advantage of being halfway up/ down the hill so it's an easy walk to the market place or the Pavillion Gardens and train station. Parking space is a real bonus in Buxton. Would be very happy to stay here again.

  The apartment is spacious, clean, comfortable and everything you require for a self catering holiday is there. Tea coffee sugar, milk for a cuppa when you arrive, and a couple of bottles of wine and local chocolates welcome you in. I would recommend a day cycling on the Monsal trail to Bakewell, especially on a Monday which is Bakewell market day, a brilliant day out.Lots of walks within easy reach either by car or an excellent bus service. Entertainment at night is plentiful in Buxton, with the beautiful Opera House offering varied acts, and bands can be found in one of the many pubs most nights of the week. The Pavillion and gardens are superb for all the family. Buxton is truly a gem and No 1 Southgate also.

  Sykes contacted the owner of 1 Southgate, who let us transfer there at no extra cost (although it was bigger) and who let us stay an extra day. Another lovely Sykes apartment, great (very central but quiet) location to ditch the car and walk or use bus or train everywhere. Very well-equipped - although a DVD/CD player would have been welcome (admittedly this is probably an old-fashioned request in these days of streaming and mp3s). Have already booked 1 Southgate for return in July.
