"Hunters cottage is one of the best if not THE best cottage we have stayed in, and we've been to many in the years we,ve used Sykes,from the moment we walked through the door it was warm, friendly, welcoming,very clean and easy to keep clean English with just a hint of Italy maybe?"
.the beds were great comfy and warm.l,m disabled and had no trouble with access in the cottage but maybe hand rails up the steps in the garden? Then l would have been able to sit with my husband and enjoy the view,but that's the only niggle l,ve got would we go back you bet we will loved it and the surrounding area well what can we say fantastic,brilliant, breathtaking and then some winnett pass is the best white knuckle ride only one beats it and that's Snowdon go early before the crowds go and really enjoy the drive both up and down.see you next year

"A first rate holiday cottage."
All the rooms were nice and clean. The kitchen was all you want for a few days with plenty of utensils and pans.Would highly recommend
-
"Brilliant property and excellent location for hiking and places to visit."
Lots of walks direct from property without using car. Also Chinley station just up the road. Everyone friendly and good local shops. The Old Hall inn great food. I can recommend this property.
-
"Nice home away from Home."
It isn‘t big but really nice decorated. Only tip- perhaps install a cupbpard for the Food supplies beside the fridge?
-
"The property was really comfortable, clean and had everything you could want or need."
It was in an ideal situation to see lots of great peak district locations. We would definitely recommend it.
-
"Lovely home from home cottage."
Peaceful and close to good places to visit. The only thing that spoilt our visit was the weather!
-
"We have stayed at Hunters Cottage before and were keen to stay there again."
The cottage was very clean and well kept and has a nice outside seating area (up steps) which is lovely to sit and relax with a cup of coffee and a book. We like the village of Chinley which has two pubs only five minutes walk from the cottage and a fish and chip shop nearby. The Lamb Inn is only a short drive away and very nice. There were lots of very enjoyable walks and drives in the surrounding area making this a very good choice for exploring the beautiful Peak District.

"A first class cottage."
No complaints at all. Shower good. WiFi excellent. Bed comfortable and good linen and towels. Heating very easy to control with the Hive thermostat.Parking did not prove a problem despite a Ford Transit parked net door. A great base for Geocaching or just walking from the cottage. The two local pubs were friendly. We did not eat at the Indian Restaurant/Cafe but it looked inviting. We will consider returning next year to continue with the masses of Geocaches yet to find.
-
"Really good cottage, and met all our needs."
Only problem we encountered was difficulty accessing the parking space at times. This was due to neighbours parking on the road opposite making it difficult to reverse into the parking space. We understand this is a problem outwith the control of the owners.
-
"Our third stay here."
Says it all! It's cosy, well equipped and ideal.for exploring the area. Owners are helpful and friendly.
-
"All was fine, good comfy place to stay."
We liked the patio, as well as local cats.
-
"A clean and comfortable cottage, pleasant to return to after a day of, some times wet walking, in the hills."
Plenty of hot water! Lovely sitting area at top of garden when sun was shining. Good access to walks in the area without needing to use the car.
-
"Cottage is beautifully clean and furnished."
Beds were very comfortable. The owners left a bottle of wine, pint of milk, tea, coffee, sugar which was lovely after a long drive. Also plenty of information on the area and places to visit, plus instructions on all appliances which is excellent. Shower was great, nicely decorated. Bobby the cat and neighbours were very friendly. Places I would visit were dovestone reservoir, dovestone stepping stones, cheedale.beautiful scenery. These are my choices as I love nature, streams, waterfalls. I'm not one for walking uphill, but plenty of walks on doorstep if you're able.
-
"Very clean tidy cottage."
Well equipped,what more could ask you for, would recommend to any body.
-
"Have stayed in a few Sykes properties and a welcome pack is a nice touch ."
Here we didn't even get a pint of milk .Not a big deal but would have expected at least that.
-
"Could not fault the cottage, but the holiday was ruined by the development work going on across the road."
The constant noise from the development, lorries coming and going, dust from the site completely ruined what should be a nice quiet village. I feel so sorry for the local villagers who have to put up with this over development in their area.
-
"We had an absolutely amazing time away."
The cottage is perfect for local amenities and for transport. This is the best cottage we’ve ever stayed in. The whole house was spotless. The area is quiet and friendly. Thank you!
-
"This is a great holiday home in a very convenient location for local walks and excursions into the Peak District."
The house itself was very clean and comfortable with easy parking. It is a real bonus to be within a short walk of the station for outings without the car. I would definitely recommend it for a lovely holiday in a beautiful part of the world!
-
"A comfortable, clean house that is ideally situated with everything you need for a week away."
There are two pubs and a club within walking distance and a Indian restaurant which is highly recommended, all in all a great holiday.
-
"Everything was exactly as promoted on the internet Would definitely go back ..."
Everything was exactly as promoted on the internet Would definitely go back again as we did not see all we wanted to, probably in the summer
-
"Cost and well equipped."
Our second stay. We will be back!
-
"Outstanding property."
Beautifully decorated, warm and comfortable. Lovely owner. We so enjoyed it.
-
"Lovely cosy property in a great location for a weeks walking in the High Peak."
Some interesting shorter walks straight from the door. New, modern appliances and plenty of utensils if you wish to self cater but good food and drink at the Old Hall Inn/Paper Mill down the road ( 5 mins walk).Good chippy and other options in the village centre. Beds very comfortable and a nice sitting out area in the garden if weather permits. The neighbours are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and would definitely use again.
-
"We had a very relaxing two weeks at Hunters Cottage."
Lovely cottage, very homely and spotlessly clean. Overall very well appointed. During this exceptionally hot weather, the living room remained cool. A couple of fans for the bedrooms in the hot weather would be a good idea. Enjoyed sitting out in the garden. Would definitely like to return in the future and will recommend.
-
"My grandson and I had a fabulous week at Hunters Cottage."
I lived and taught in the area for many years so it was a trip down memory lane. The cottage was wonderful and fulfilled all our needs.An ideal location to visit Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth House, Thornbridge Hall, Pooles Cavern and many more interesting places.it had a lovely garden where we spent our evenings relaxing.Also lots of nice places to eat out.We shall definitely be booking it again
-
"Overall it was a brilliant place to stay ,very clean and tidy ."
Slight issues were no microwaveable plates it does state this in the welcome book .frying pans altho look non stick are not one had a very loose handle which I did my best tighten up .heating boiler a little noisy..but none of these little things spoilt our stay at the cottage great location for visiting the area which we did every day we would highly recommend this place and hope to return one day as there was so much we did not manage to visit this time
-
"Lovely stay, many thanks again."
Cottage was great, more space and the quality of the furnishings aren’t done justice on pics. Enjoyed spending some down time just listening to the birds in the garden. Hope to stay again soon when our car is up & running so we can see more of the local area than this trip. All the best Helen

"House was very clean and had everything we needed."
Was well located to get about in the peaks. Would come back again was just what we needed after 2 years of going nowhere.
-
"Lovely house which is well appointed and equipped."
.. could do with a bottle opener, plus a DVD player. Very friendly and helpful neighbours. Great location, able to visit Chatsworth, Bakewell, Matlock Bath, Peak Cavern and Lyme with no issues. Enjoyed The Old Hall Hotel sunday lunch Nice walk to Bugworth canal.
-
"It would be useful to have a sweeping brush to keep ground floor clean."
And perhaps a dustpan and brush. Also a mat outside the front entrance, again to help with the floor. There was no bottle opener. Perhaps a freeview box as there is very limited tv channels in that area. Helpful in the evening when the weather is very wet like last week. On the whole a nice little property, well located. Finally, as it was very chilly early last week we needed some heating upstairs. The radiators were turned off (on the lock shield valve, not thermostat) fortunately due to my profession I was able to rectify the problem. Best regards. Graham
-
"Lovely accommodation."
Very pretty. Very handy to lots of places. Very short walk to a shop and also to a couple of vey nice pubs
-
"Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us."
Quiet location with easy access to major roads and great walks right from the door. Planning our return.
-
"I absolutely loved our stay at Hunters Cottage."
It's a beautiful, clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated, well laid out cottage. The lovely terraced garden was great for watching the stars in too! I felt totally at peace in this quiet little cottage and would happily rebook as the owners are very friendly and the neighbours are friendly too. The only minor disappointment in our stay was the lack of a tumble-dryer but the clothes horse in front of the radiator did get our clothes dry. The location is great for walking and only a short walk from the fantastic Old Hall hotel where you can get a fantastic meal. Top tip - The Old Hall are also very accommodating for those with food allergies!
-
"It was super to be in a property with a garden and plenty of garden furniture, which made for a very enjoyable stay."
-
"The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped."
We particularly liked the powerful shower, very refreshing after walking in the beautiful Peak District. There were pubs, cafes and a shop only a five minute walk from the cottage in Chinley village. We had meals at The Old Hall Inn and at the Lamb Inn about 2.5 miles away, both of which served very good food. We also had fish and chips from Chinley Chippy which were also very good. We very much enjoyed our stay at Hunters Cottage and would highly recommend both the cottage and the area.
-
"Lovely clean cottage in a great location."
-
"We enjoyed staying at Hunters Cottage so much we rebooked to return in 7 weeks."
The cottage was super clean and comfortable. The rear garden was a joy to sit in when weather allowed.
-
"Owner was very friendly and gave us a courtesy call when we arrived."
Cottage was spotless and well equipped. We had a lovely week despite the weather.
-
"We had a lovely week in this holiday home based in a quiet cul-de-sac just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Chinley and the Railway Station with trains to Manchester and Sheffield."
It is a short drive to Castleton (Blue John Mines and Speedwell Cavern), Edale (with wonderful hill walking) and Ladybower Reservoir (beautiful views). The house was very comfortable with everything that we needed. The garden patio was really nice to sit in the warm sunshine (we did have some even though it was mid-October). It is nearly 50 years since we lived in this area and it was great reminiscing. We were extremely happy with this accommodation.
-
"Hunters cottage is a lovely property, decor is nice and fresh, very clean throughout!"
The facilities are very good, everything you need. It is very well positioned for great walks and eating out, The Old Hall is less than 5 mins walk and would recommend along with The Lamb Inn a short drive away, very nice meals. Correspondence from Sykes from booking to staying was also very good, thanks for a lovely stay !!
-
"Hunters Cottage is absolutely delightful."
It is fully equipped to a high standard with everything you need while on holiday and it is extremely clean. The attention to detail throughout the cottage and garden is of an excellent standard. We had a wonderful week. Hunters Cottage is an excellent base from which to explore the breathtaking beauty of the Peak District. We highly recommend this excellent accommodation.

"This cottage is absolutely beautiful!"
My husband and I stayed with our two daughters and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The decor is stunning and everything was so fresh and clean. It had everything we needed and more. Our very favourite thing was the stepped garden terrace which catches the sun all day and night and has lovely views. We cooked a big paella one night and ate it outside while playing board games with the girls. The facilities were great, WiFi, smart TV and washer machine etc all in perfect working order. There was also lots of storage for cases etc. The Bathroom was spotless and the shower was also huge and fancy. There was also parking available onsite. The town of Chinley was picturesque, peaceful with stunning views. There are lovely coffee shops and pubs 5 min walk away and lots of walking trails. We ate out many times and the food was great everywhere we went. The owners were absolutely amazing, very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you! I highly recommend this cottage if you want a nice relaxing break away in a beautiful cottage.

"Property was clean and very well maintained , good quality furniture."
Kitchen home from home in terms of equipment for those who want to self cater. The garden was nice to sit out in - we just didn’t have the weather for it. Couple of minor things if these things bother you. The picture was a little deceptive, it’s very close to other properties in a close but that didn’t effect us. Also the flush on the toilet is the loudest we’d ever heard, once one up everyone else is!
