• "The cottage was a lovely size and very nicely furnished."

  We only had a couple of small issues which let the property down for the price ever so slightly but we would still stay again, as we had a lovely break. The cottage is advertised as having a log burner but did not have the kindling or matches to be able to light the fire and only 2 logs to last us 2 nights. We were able to source some at a shop back in the village but it meant another trip out on the evening we arrived to go and source these. The hot tub was fantastic and felt very private. The only issue we had with this aspect, was that we where provided one towel per person for the duration of the stay, so when they got wet from use after the hot tub, we had to then use the same towels getting out the shower which hadn’t yet dried. The last issue we had was with the shower itself. The holder for the shower head was broken meaning you couldn’t move the head to face you and the only position it could be kept in was sticking up in the air. Other then that we had a great stay, the kitchen and bedrooms where lovely and very comfortable. We went on a fantastic walk around the local scenery and enjoyed sometime in the shops and cafes in the local town of Bakewell.

• "Really happy with our stay."

  It was as expected and presented in the photos. Clean tidy, cute and cosy. Working WIFI and smart TV to access Netflix, prime etc. Perfect for a Peak District stay with the dog. Rural, but short drive from places. 15 minutes from Bakewell town. within 30 minutes drives to local known peaks or places of interest to visit. Enjoyed watching the ducks and chickens out the back window in the mornings. Only thing missing compared to other stays, is that there is usually a booklet or laminated sheet containing all the relevant information in one place on your stay with: WIFI details, how to use the appliances/heating, where to put the rubbish, how to work hot tub, local attractions and restaurants /take aways etc. We figured everything out but it would have been useful to have all this information in one place during our stay. As we stayed with a dog, we would have also found having a dustpan and brush or a hoover and a form of mop useful, to keep the place clean and tidy during our stay, we found a broom but that was all. Overall it was a pleasant stay and we would stay again.

• "A brilliant 3 night stay at Dale End Farm Cottage."

  The place was very clean and tidy with much thought given on making sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The host Steve was very helpful with local info for us. We were a family of 4 with two boys aged 12 & 11 and we used the place as a base to do a lot of running and cycling on the various traffic free trails such as Tissington and Monsal. The hot tub after full on days was great and very much appreciated. Highly recommend Dale End Farm cottage!

• "We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable."

  It's set in a beautiful area and was very peaceful. The owners were very friendly and popped their head in to welcome us and if we needed anything we could just ask, they were also happy to help with recommendations of local walks and things to do. The only thing I would say to anybody visiting is make sure you come through Elton to get to the cottage - my satnav took me from the opposite direction which is a very narrow bumpy road and worth avoiding! Thank you for a wonderful break and we hope to be back soon

  Its in an ideal situation for exploring the Bakewell area. Steve the host was very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downside was the road from Elton to the cottage. It is the worst road for potholes etc that I have driven down.

• "Beautiful cottage which was clean and had all the necessary amenities."

  Set lovely within the property, it’s quiet but also a lovely environment for our kids to play in the garden. My youngest adored seeing the animals and my eldest got to play football outside. The rooms were comfortable, the fleece blankets in the lounge welcomed for watching a movie. Arrived to milk and cookies and we ordered a food delivery which was on time and so convenient after a long drive. Beautiful surroundings and a great location about 20 minutes from everywhere. We had a lovely stay. Thank you

• "This was a really comfortable cottage in a gorgeous setting."

  Although it is in a farmyard with other properties, it is tucked away so feels private too, but with help on hand if needed. If you love walking, this is ideal as you can walk from the house or drive a short distance for other great walks. There is also lots to see nearby, such as Haddon Hall, and country pubs galore. If you love animals the property has free ranging chickens, and alpacas and horses in the fields plus sheep and cows everywhere you go. We really appreciated the EV charger being part of the facilities which was a reason we chose it. We had a lovely week there and would happily rebook it.

  Thank you for your lovely comments. We hope you’ll consider us again. Property Owner

• "Beautiful accommodation in a quiet location."

  It is decorated to a good standard and well maintained. It is well equipped and had everything we needed. The only thing which let it down was the double bed as it was very squeaky and kept us awake during the night. My partner ended up having to sleep downstairs on the sofa.

  So sorry for the squeaky bed my husband will resolve this straight away. Thank you for the feedback Zoe and Steve Property Owner

  It was set in a quiet and peaceful setting, but convenient for travelling to several places in beautiful Derbyshire. Wifi was appreciated as mobile phone reception was poor due to rural location.

• "This is an amazing little cottage , is attached to the owners house and there are two other properties on the farm but there was a lovely garden to sit in and Steve and Lucy the owners were available if you needed anything, we didn’t but they checked we were ok and had settled in ."

  The cottage is immaculately decorated inside and the sting room had the most amazingly comfortable sofa ever sat on . Kitchen well equipped and smart tv . We didn’t have to use the log burner but looks amazing . The cottage is away from the bustle of a town there is a pub within walking distance , in the nearest village but can’t remember the last time was able to sit out in a garden and just listen to birds without any road noise . This cottage is a gem and plenty of parking and also EV charging point and is only 6 miles from Matlock so I’m a very central location

• "We enjoyed a lovely week staying in the cottage which is very peaceful and has been renovated to a high standard."

  The downstairs is very compact, with limited storage, but very comfortable and cosy. Lovely little garden but worth noting that it is not private as the trampoline and swings are available to the other two properties on the farm. The owners were very friendly and happy to offer recommendations in the local area. Thank you.

• "Lovely cottage beautifully decorated."

  We were 2 adults and 2 children aged 6 and 8. My girls loved seeing the animals on the farm especially the ponies and made use of the trampoline, swing and slide. It was in a good location to be able to explore the Peak District. We were grateful that Zoe had advised us to take an easier route to and from Dale End Farm which was left out of the farm and used that route as appose to the one my sat nav was directing us to. My sister and I enjoyed how quiet and peaceful the farm was and the views are lovely.

• "The cottage is in a lovely location with great walks, access to Bakewell and Chatsworth and looking out over a field with alpacas."

  The cottage has been well refurbished and is very modern inside. Note that it does not have a washing machine and there did not seem to be any instructions for the property (we did find details online but mobile reception was unreliable). The cottage was very cosy (although the heating did not seem easy to control) and we had a lovely time exploring the local area.

  Hi Lisa Sorry I’ve only just seen your review. First of all thank you for taking the time. Apologises for the small sink we thought it was better than walking around something. We have amended the listing now to say there is no washing machine. We stopped printing the literature due to COVID and it’s on the website however I might print again now you’ve mentioned it.

• "Brilliant cottage, which we will happily return to!"

  The cottage was really lovely and cozy and was a real home from home. Would -and will!- recommend to all our friends and relatives. Only (minor) issue was the lack of any literature about the house, so we had no idea how to use the hob, what to do with rubbish and laundry and what the WiFi password was? Could be that a previous guest has taken the information book home with them by mistake?

  Thank you so much for staying with us sorry the handbook has gone. We have one on line on the website now Property Owner

• "We've just enjoyed a wonderfully peaceful and relaxing few days in this delightful cottage."

  It's set in exceptionally quiet and beautiful countryside with glorious sights such as Chatsworth (where we picnic-ed by the stream under one of the magnificent 100 year old trees), Haddon Hall and the stunning Dales are all within easy reach. The summer evenings were perfect for picking up the easy walking trail that meandered pleasantly through wild flowers and grasses near the cottage, then relaxing in the garden afterwards.The fresh air invigorated my 97 year old mum so much that she played with her adult grand-daughter on the children's garden swing and scooter there on the final day ( resisting the temptation to try out the large trampoline as well)!The three of us came home feeling very refreshed. The cottage was high on quality. It had a comfy sofa and beds to hunker down in at night; a compact but efficient kitchen area with an easy to operate, modern induction hob/oven and microwave and a gorgeous shower room/loo upstairs. The attractive lawned garden with cherry tree, herbaceous border and side hedge (with sparrows) at the front of the cottage provided a very pleasant outdoor space for us to enjoy every day.(The garden at the back of the cottage belongs to the owners but was never in use during our stay). Our warm and welcoming hosts, owners Steve and Zoe, who live in the adjacent farmhouse, were very relaxed, friendly and attentive without being remotely intrusive. They are happy for guests to park conveniently outside the cottage on arrival. We would heartily recommend this cottage, especially when evenings are long as the outdoors can bring even greater enjoyment.

  Thank you for such a lovely review it was such a pleasure to meet you. Best wishes Property Owner

  Was advertised having washing machine (one thing we needed) but there wasn't one owner did offer to do some washing but we managed. Also a hand rail is needed on stairs especially for the elderly and infirm. Discussed this with owner and he agreed to solve this problem. We enjoyed our week despite above.

  Thank you for staying with us we are working on getting the hand rail installed. We have told Sykes to remove the washing machine from the listing although we are happy to wash anything as required. Best wishes Zoe and Steve Property Owner
