"On arrival we were met by members of the owner's family & made to feel really welcome, which was a lovely touch."
The property was clean & we immediately felt at home. The location is a little out of Buxton, so a car is a necessity. The only slight issue for us was that the listing said there was a shared laundry facility. What we were shown certainly needs some TLC. The property is not the biggest around, but was fine for two of us. I would imagine 4 would get a bit congested. However, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend the property.

"I booked through vrbo, no idea who they are; then my booking suddenly became Sykes Cottages, and there was discrepancy with the pricing."
Very confusing, won’t use vrbo again. The Loft was exactly what we needed, and we received a warm & friendly welcome from the owners.

"Lovely loft cottage on a working farm, but it is still quiet."
Cooking facilities are good, bed was comfy too. Great that you have an outdoor seating area on the balcony, which you can shut the gate too, so the dog can roam as well. Only a 15min walk from Buxton is a bonus. Lucy & Andrew were lovely
-

"The loft is well placed to explore the area, close to Buxton for amenities and then we found it easy (and beautiful) drives to all our walks."
The loft is well equipped and the bathroom is to a high standard. Lovely gesture with fizz and chocs for the new year - thank you!! Great that it allows a dog too! Really great value for money and we would definitely come back next time we go to the Peaks.

A washer/dryer in the cottage would be advantageous other than that it was very well equipped and we will return.

"Small but roomy - plenty of space for a couple + dog."
Quiet location, but accessible to anywhere in the High Peaks. It's a working farm but not noisy! The owners live next door but there were no issues so we didn't need them for anything. It was perfect for us.

"We had a great stay."
The Loft was very comfortable and well equipped and in a beautiful setting. Our hosts were lovely and made us feel very welcome.
-
"Excellent"
-
"The Loft is a lovely cottage in a quiet, rural location."
It was immaculately clean on arrival. It soon gets warm and cosy when it’s cold outside. There was a very thoughtful welcome pack including milk, teabags, coffee and biscuits. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Andrew even helped my friend get her car started when she had a flat battery. This was my 3rd visit to Cowdale Farm and it definitely won’t be my last. Don’t really want to recommend it too much or it won’t be available for me!

"We loved starting at The Loft, it was in a beautiful location, but handy for visiting lots of different places."
The place itself was fab, very clean, plenty of space and Andrew and Lucy had kindly left some milk, biscuits, teabags, coffee etc which was very thoughtful. We would highly recommend The Loft to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

"We loved the location and how quiet it was."
We also liked that we had privacy. We liked the modern bathroom, with a nice shower! The bed was super comfy. It was lovely to have an open plan kitchen and sitting room. We had everything we needed. Thank you so much for a great few nights away.
-
"We loved the Loft but were disappointed to find that there was no DVD player as listed, and the TV only had sky, No Netflix of BBC I player or ITV hub."
Also No freezer. It was spotless, and ideally situated , very quiet.. I have to say that I was surprised when Sykes wanted an extra £7 Admin fee, as we had completely paid for this holiday and rolled it over last year, so apparently 2 emails this year costs £7 !!!!!
-

The location and setting was in charming quiet Hamlet in beautiful countryside. The location was excellent for country walks, visiting Buxton and Bakewell.
-

"A lovely two night stay, booked at the last minute."
We were met by Lucy who was very welcoming, pointing us in the right direction and letting us know where to find her if we needed anything. The Loft was spacious, spotless and perfect after a day walking. Wonderful, large sofa - something so many holiday rentals overlook - perfect for cosy evenings.
-
"Really loved this trip."
We were made to feel really welcome. The location is stunning and a short drive away from Buxton, Bakewell and Chatsworth House. The Loft was clean and much more spacious than it seems on the pictures. We felt right at home very quickly.
-
"We had booked to stay in the loft."
But due to a problem from a big water leak we were offered to stay in the courtyard accomadation. We accepted and was so very pleased the courtyard was huge inside it was lovely it had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The owners Andrew and Lucy are a young couple. They made me and my partner Very welcome.
-
"Great accommodation in a brilliant location."
SO handy for visiting the area. New owners who are working VERY hard too improve the whole complex. Family team who are friendly and helpful. We very much hope to return (once covid 19 has been beaten
-
"New people had bought the farm, they moved in the week we were there, they were not made aware of the problems with the property."
There was a leak in the bathroom, shower pressure non existent, the mattress was awful, and the sofa was uncomfortable, also door handle hanging off the door in the bathroom. We made the new owners Aware of all the issues and they are going to rectify, when they do it will be a lovely property to stay in.

About the location
BUXTON
Tideswell 7 miles; Bakewell 12 miles; Matlock 21 miles.
It was the constant 28 degrees centigrade of the bubbling blue waters of Buxton's eight thermal springs that originally attracted the Romans to the town. However it was during the 18th and 19th centuries, under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire, that the Palladian splendour of the Buxton of today was designed and built - including the magnificent semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens and The Opera House. Today visitors continue to enjoy these magnificent buildings and gardens, as well as the Opera House's full programme and annual festivals of music and arts. There is good walking close by with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south and a number of pretty towns and villages are dotted throughout including Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Edale. The stunning properties of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy driving distance and must be seen while visiting this area. A great base for exploring the Peak District.
