"We had an absolutely fantastic time at the cottage."
It’s beautiful. Everything we could possibly need and all to a high standard. The location is perfect too. If anything, the photos don’t do it justice, as a holiday home, it is stunning.
Thank you so much! Your incredible feedback is really appreciated and we are so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay. Do hope that you will come and visit us again. Property Owner

"The property exceeded our expectations, the fit and finish was much higher than we were expecting, and definitely much higher than other similar properties I have stayed at in the past."
I briefly spoke to the owners and they were really friendly and accommodating and offered some suggestions for our stay and let us know they were around to help while we were staying in the property. The location is great for access to southern Peak District and was a great base for some nice walks. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property in future.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments - so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Do hope that you will be able come and stay here again. Property Owner

"Well equipped, comfortable for all 5 of us."
Great location - e.g. next to bus stop. One of the best that we have stayed in. Would like to return.
Many thanks for your kind feedback, especially mentioning the bus service through the village that runs from Matlock to Ashbourne and must be one of the most scenic and relaxing journeys. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"We could not have asked for a better home away from home to enjoy our holiday in."
Quite simply one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. We love the area, having strong links to neighbouring Hognaston but Hopton was a delightful village for our family of 4. Our young boys enjoyed all the space outside to play and the front, side and back gardens were a real highlight for us all to be able to enjoy the beautiful Peak District countryside. Thank you dearly for the warm welcome and a wonderful holiday! We certainly hope to return to see Ivet Lowe in all the glory of another season, but summer will certainly take some beating.
Thank you so much for such lovely feedback on your stay and especially that your boys enjoyed making use of the garden. Really looking forward to seeing you again for another trip down 'Memory Lane'. Property Owner

"Our thanks to Bill and Steph for a lovely stay and good communications throughout."
Ivet Lowe was absolutely lovely, perfect accommodation, and we would highly recommend it. It is an ideal base for exploring the local area and the wine and chocolates on arrival were a lovely touch, thank you again. A visit to the local Minor's Arms was good advice too, lovely food at reasonable prices and highly recommended. Many thanks, Allan and Carol.

"Lovely cottage in a great location close to Carsington Water."
Well maintained and equipped. Nice garden and grounds. Owners were helpful, messaged to see all was well and were contactable to help with any issues (not that there were). We would be delighted to go back if the chance arises. Great location action for cycling and walking.

"A lovely break at Ivet Lowe."
We were contested on the day of arrival by the owners to let us know we could check in early and arrived to fine a bottle of wine and box of chocolates to welcome us. The cottage was large enough for the 6 of us with 3 double rooms (one could be swapped for a twin of you contact to ask), 2 bathrooms and a large kitchen/diner/sitting room. The local area was beautiful, literally round the corner to Carsington Water and a short drive to The Height of Abraham and Peak Wlidlife Park, both of which are a must if you are in the area. A lovely cottage, in beautiful surroundings, what more could you ask for.
So pleased that you all enjoyed your stay -(you certainly brought the good weather with you!) and many thanks for your kind remarks. Property Owner

"Spotless and fully equipped."
The curtains in the twin bedroom could do with being a bit longer as the light comes in under the curtain 10/10 will definitely be booking again
Many thanks for your feedback and really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We'll have a look at the curtains with a view to adding blackout blind. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"Ivet Lowe was perfect in every way."
The location is fantastic with Carsington water visible from the back of the property. Local pub within walking distance and a short drive to fantastic places in the Peak District and surrounding areas. The property itself was exceptionally clean, comfy beds, plenty of room and great facilities. Hosts checked in with us at the start and end of our trip and left a welcome bottle of wine and chocolate. Would stay again and thoroughly recommend.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Ivet Lowe."
All furnishings are beautiful and of a very high standard. Information we received beforehand was excellent. Thank you for letting us get into the property early particularly as the weather was so bad on our arrival day! Thank you for the wine and chocolates- very thoughtful.
Thank you for staying at Ivet Lowe and really pleased that, despit some inclement weather, you enjoyed your break. Whilst it depends on what time the housekeeping team finish, we do try to make access to the cottage as early on the day as possible. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Our first time in Derbyshire and it didn’t disappoint."
Ivet Low was a lovely relaxing place to stay, fully equipped for all our needs, tasteful decor and furnishings, beds really comfortable, certainly would stay here again if we visit Derbyshire again in the future. Visited lots of places, everything easy to get to from the cottage, also found some good eateries - Miners Arms at Carsington, The Rising Sun at Middleton and The Red Lion at Kniveton where we enjoyed lovely meals.
So pleased that you enjoyed your stay and really appreciate your kind comments and feedback. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Lovely house and garden in a nice quiet village in a beautiful location."
Very grate for the text saying cottage was ready early, especially as it was a rainy day. House clean, beds comfortable, plenty of room for the four of us. Lovely garden to sit in.

"Beautiful cottage with everything you need for a relaxing holiday."
Perfect location for exploring the White Peak area and beyond. Walkable to cycle tracks and footpaths around Carsington water ( across a busy road) which was great for the cyclists among us!
So pleased that, despite some inclement weather, you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your comments about the cottage - very much appreciated. Property Owner

"Such a lovely welcome and pre-arrival messages from owners."
They also called a couple of weeks before our stay to check how we wanted the bedrooms made up. Real attention to detail with everything. We loved the holiday cottage and it was so well equipped and in a beautiful location.
Thank you so much for leaving these kind comments. Really pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Ivet Lowe was just wonderful in every way."
It was spotless on arrival (and we're fussy, we normally clean most places on arrival). The house was warm comfortable and so well equipped, every detail had been thought of. The garden is beautiful and the plentiful soft fruit a bonus. The area is perfect and we would recommend visiting Bakewell, the Miners Arms does lovely food, with friendly hosts. We will definitely be back.
Thank you for your kind comments about the cottage and garden. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay - Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"The owner rang me to let me know that the cottage was ready for our arrival, but there was a problem with the shower."
He waited for us to arrive to make sure that the water temperature in the shower would be OK for us, which we greatly appreciated, as I am unable to use a bath. The cottage is very comfortable and spacious, the patio area was lovely to sit out on. The weather was not kind to us, unfortunately, but we did get a couple of chances to sit out. There is a fabulous pub in Carsington, The Miners Arms, the car park is at the back of the pub, the food was lovely, all fresh vegetables, no frozen veg. It is possible to walk to Carsington Water, although, due to the weather, we didn’t get round to it. The visitor Centre at Carsington Water, does really lovely food as well. There are lovely walks around the lakeside, we did a few of the shorter ones.
Many thanks for your lovely feedback and pleased that you enjoyed your stay despite the poor weather. You're right about the Miners Arms - it's pretty hard to beat! Property Owner

"Spotlessly clean, really well-equipped, and hosts who got in touch before our visit so we could contact them if we had any problems (we didn't."
) Really beautiful garden. Near Wirksworth, Carsington - and walkable to a local pub. Recommended!
So pleased that everything was okay and that you enjoyed both the cottage and garden. Hope to see you all again. Property Owner

"Fantastic place to stay!"
We were lucky enough to stay at Ivet Lowe as the flower beds were bursting with colour, a new view every day! We had amazing weather so spent much of the time in the garden enjoying the many different areas to relax, we were almost disappointed that we didn’t get the opportunity to make use of the already prepared fire. The whole property has been done to a very high standard and everything was provided that we could possible need. The location lends itself to exploring knowing that there’s a lovely pub, The Miners, within 10 minutes walk when you get back. (They also do an amazing Sunday roast). We went to celebrate a family birthday but would easily suit a family break or a relaxing getaway.
Thank you so much for your kind and generous feedback. Really pleased you were able to enjoy the wild flower area and had a great break. Maybe you will be able to use the log burner next time! Thanks again. Property Owner

"We had such a lovely stay at Ivet Lowe last weekend."
The house has been beautifully refurbished and is as pristine as it looks in the pictures. There was a bottle of wine and a box of choccies waiting for us on arrival too which was a welcomed treat after a long drive. Thank you to the owners again for having us :)
Thank you for such lovely feedback - it reaaly is appreciated. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hopefully we will see you again. Property Owner

"Comfortable, warm house, very well furnished."
Lovely to have a well equipped kitchen with everything needed for a week's stay, and plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses. Quiet rural village, but not too far from facilities. Loads of activities for all the family within easy reach, including nice walks around the reservoir directly from the house. The property owners were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had, and made us feel very welcome. Hopefully we will visit again as it's an excellent property and so much to do in the area we just couldn't fit in.

"Just got home from a fabulous stay at Ivet Lowe."
As you walk into the property it is spacious, comfy and very well equipped. Everything is high end and tasteful. The downstairs is really well planned and everything flows from one room to another and upstairs the beds are super comfy. Everything has been thought through and there was nothing we could think of that would have enhanced our stay any more. We had a problem with one of the toilets and rang the owner who came over straight away and fixed it whilst we were out. He was very apologetic, things happen that are totally out of anyone’s control, but the measure of a person is how they deal with them and we couldn’t fault him. There’s a great pub just down the road that serves good food. All in all it was a great holiday in a fabulous cottage and we will certainly go back again.
Many thanks for your feedback and kind comments. Really pleased that you all enjoyed your stay and hopefully see you again soon. Property Owner

"What a beautiful holiday home!"
The quality of every detail is perfect and made us feel very at home! The house worked perfectly for 6 adults and the open plan layout made it very easy to all socialise and be comfortable. We didn’t get chance to use the garden as the weather wasn’t great but it would be perfect for socialising outside with views of Carsington Water (when the trees aren’t in bloom). The hosts were fantastic and gave us everything and more but were also left to enjoy our stay. The location was perfect to walk spring Carsington Water and access everywhere in the Peaks. A walk through the village also leads you to the local pub which had beautiful food!
Many thanks for your lovely feedback - it really is appreciated. Sorry that the poor weather meant that you couldn't enjoy the garden - perhaps it will be better next time! Property Owner

"What a lovely house, so comfortable and well maintained with such good facilities and pleasant decor."
The owners were so helpful when we needed to contact them. The bottle of wine and box of chocolates were much appreciated on our arrival. The location is excellent, being just a few minutes walk from Carsington water and not far from Ashbourne.
Thank you for your feedback and really pleased that you all enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful time staying at Ivet Lowe."
It is a beautifully presented cottage and very well equipped. We really appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtfulness from the owners. The area is so peaceful and quiet and we enjoyed being able to walk to the reservoir from the cottage. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday was had by all - we hope to be able to return in the future.

"A fantastic cottage in a lovely location."
Very well equipped and maintained to a high standard.

"This is an excellent property."
We arrived through snow, in the dark. We were worried about getting in, and being cold - no such problem, the house was very warm, as the owners had set the thermostat already. For a cottage in a small village it is well outfitted, with some absolutely ridiculous finish for a holiday cottage (eg the dining table is a custom 1 off made from the door of the cottage). Rooms are small, but would only be a problem if you were staying long term.. Kitchen well outfitted and complete, very good layout with the living space. Overall we were really pleased. Highly reccomend.
Thank you for your very kind and positive comments - really pleased you liked the table! Hope to see you again. Property Owner

It had everything we wanted.

"One of the best properties we have stayed in."
The cottage has been renovated to an extremely high standard, everything is immaculate. It is a credit to the owner. The location is peaceful, yet very convenient for exploring the area. We had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I would recommend Ivet Lowe and will definitely consider returning in the future.
Many thanks for your lovely comments - really appreciated. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage very tastefully decorated, with high standard of features and in a great location."
Perfect for our requirements despite the somewhat excitable weather provided by storms Dudley and Eunice! The welcome pack was a nice touch and the owner was in contact by text to offer any help required which was reassuring under the conditions. The Miners Arms is just up the road and well worth a visit. Carsington Water walk was stunning. All in all we had a great weekend and there’s a good chance we’ll be back in hopefully better weather!
Many thanks for the feedback. Sorry about Eunice and Dudley and fingers crossed for better weather next time! Property Owner

-
"This was a lovely cottage in a beautiful rural setting."
We arrived late afternoon and almost missed the house as the sign wasn’t that visible at the end of the drive. It was quite a tight entrance to the drive but plenty room for both our cars. The house was lovely and well decorated though we felt we might have preferred the living room and dining areas to be swapped so we could chill on the couches in front of the fire of an evening. The owner was friendly and helpful when we called with one tiny issue (the spare freezer had been accidentally left switched off and we couldn’t find the switch). The cottage is very central for things to do and visit such as Chatsworth House, Blackwell, Buxton and Denby and there is a pub restaurant which serves lovely food within 5 min drive

"Well equipped and maintained cottage."
Plenty of space for 6 adults and had everything we needed including outside table and chairs. Loved the underfloor heating in both shower and bathroom. Wood burner was used even in June as a lovely focal point. Excellent base for seeing Carsington and surrounding areas.

"Really lovely holiday home - exceeded expectations!"
Very comfortable with all amenities catered for.

"First time visitor to a Sykes cottage and we weren't disappointed."
Truly a home away from home with all the amenities that we could need. A really clean property which made us feel safe with the current COVID problems. What would have been useful would have been a list of items in the cottage that we needn't have taken, e.g towels, toilet rolls, washing up liquid etc. We weren't sure of what we needed to take following your email prior to travel and the current COVID situation. Possibly all properties are different. The wine and chocolates were a lovely touch and made us feel welcome and appreciated.
