"Lovely cosy comfy and well equipped cottage."
Great setting. Perfect for walking. Handy well stocked farmers shop and a well equipped Spar should you need it. Local friendly pub 250m up the road. What more could you ask for? Oh... maybe a working light at the front door. But we had a torch so, not a problem. Thank you.

"This is a beautiful cottage in a great location."
It was warm and cosy and had all we needed for our weekend away. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard and feels quite luxurious. The arrival gift was a welcome surprise. We did some bracing walks and visited Chatsworth House which is half an hour away. When packing it is worth noting that the tumble dryer doesn't work. We would love to visit again some time.

"The cottage is beautiful and the location is great with lovely walks from the door."
The only thing that was a bit of pain was there is no direct access from the cottage to the garden as you need to access the front via the drive which is at the side of a road so you have to make sure your dogs are on leads before open the door. Oh and none of the remotes seemed to work with the tv a bit frastrating. But lovely cottage
Hi Antoinette, Thank you for your review of Mill Cottage. I do agree it’s a little frustrating having to put dogs on a lead to go over to the garden. I will ask Sykes to amend the details. I could change to not allowing dogs, but feel that would be a shame as there are so many walks from the doorstep. I am actually staying at my cottage and the kitchen remote needed new batteries, but the other two television remotes are working perfectly fine. I’ve no idea why you couldn’t get them to work. Thanks again Alison xx Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, well equipped, lovely location."
Beds were comfortable and warm. Owner's father popped round to let us know the window cleaner was coming and I think also took out the bins on the days the dustmen were coming which was kind. Would totally recommend! Also Ieft something behind and the owner sent it back to me after I had been in touch ❤
Hi Julie, Thank you so much for your lovely review and thank you for the kind card you sent too xx Hope you stay again xx Love Alison xx Property Owner

"We absolutely loved our few days away in the peaks and this cottage was in the perfect location for all the places we wanted to visit."
Hope is a lovely little village and very central. The cottage was beautiful and cosy very clean and the big shower was amazing after some very wet walks. A few down points we had were there isn’t any space actually attached to the cottage for the dogs there is a space at the back but not accessible from the property it gets very dark and can be a little eary and also the smaller shower didn’t have a holder so had to be held by hand if you didn’t want to use the big shower.

"Loved the cottage!"
Very much enjoyed our stay. Great facilities, very comfortable and with character. Great location too, very easy reach of pubs and great walks on our doorstep. Hope to return! One comment is that although we were aware that the front garden was separated by a roadway, we did not realise that the back garden was also similarly detached with no direct 'step-out' access from the house (walk round from front door). Might have been a slight inconvenience if we had brought our dogs as originally intended. All in all, a great little cottage, great location, well worth the money!

"A lovely cottage in an ideal location for exploring the Peak District, plenty of walks from the doorstep."
Would definitely consider a return visit. However, this was all let down with zero communication from the owner with no information pack or any instructions. There was also no number provided for to report any issues. Whilst the property has clearly recently been updated with an excellent bathroom and kitchen, there were a number of small but frustrating issues i:e both bulbs had gone on the oven extractor fan, the bulb had gone on the bathroom mirror and the remote for the tv soundbar didn’t work, probably a battery issue. The latch on garden gate was also hanging off meaning it didn’t fully close and was an issue for the security of dogs who could easily get out. The outside light at the front wasn’t working, again a simple fix but no spare bulbs and nobody to tell about it. Feel petty mentioning and only giving 3 out of 5 but when added together all of the above left us with a pretty negative view when it could have been so much better with minimal effort.
Hi Neil, Thank you for your feedback after your stay at my cottage, although I am a little disappointed with the score you have given. I have tried hard to make Mill Cottage as comfortable as possible for guests. I apologise if there were a few problems. I do not live in the area (hence my home is now a holiday cottage), however Sykes do provide contact details of my management company when you book and they are available 24/7. I have passed all your concerns on and these will be rectified ready for my next guests. Once again, I apologise if the issues spoilt your stay and I hope you might return in the future. I will also add an information pack in the cottage. Kind regards Alison Property Owner
