"TERRIBLE COMPANY!"
!! Sky Cottage is the worse company I ever dealt with. I have been trying to reach them for a week with no success. No answers whatsoever. The day I checked in the property was uncleared with linen and towels used on the floor, bathrooms uncleaned. I had to check in a hotel spending a lot of money. I have not yet heard from them and did not get my money back. The owner of the cottage and the cottage per se are lovely and they tried to help, but the situation is not yet solved and I have not yet got my money back.

"Absolutely lovely home from home."
Brilliantly furnished and decorated to a high standard, everything we needed for two and four legged holiday makers. Easy to find, more than adequate parking, spacious cottage. Lovely welcome pack. Can't rate this high enough and can't wait to come again.

"We have visited the Cottage for each of the last three years and have only occasionally been able to park in the allocated parking space and have usually found the neighbours unwelcoming."
On this visit although the cottage was generally clean there were cobwebs on the front and back room ceilings and some skirting boards were a little dusty. It would have been nice to have had an additional seat in the front room one of our party having to sit on the floor (if I remember correctly there use to be at least a bean bag to sit on in that room). We thought this time that the settee and chairs could do with replacing. This said we had a lovely break and are likely to visit again in 2025.
Many thanks for your constructive feedback. We had a deep clean (spring) in May 24. It can get a bit dusty over the winter months due to the use of the log burner sadly. If you have any issues during your next visit to us please do not hesitate to contact us and it will be in our best interest to resolve any issues during your stay. W look forward to welcoming you back to Bobbin Cottage in 2025. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage and really outstanding value."
Minor gripe 1 toilet for a 3 bed property is hard work. Major gripe: the oven. The old electric oven heats unpredictability and was annoying to use. When the rest of the house is to such a high standard i couldnt understand the outdated oven.
Many thanks for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at Bobbin Cottage and we appreciate your comment regarding the outstanding value of the property. The oven was replaced in May. The one in place was temporary as the fitted appliance was damaged by a guest. If you wish to discuss your feedback further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

"We had a lovely stay."
The beds were extremely comfortable. The cottage was well equipped and in a great location to get into matlock town. Lots of lovely walks nearby.
Thankyou Lily. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a good location for what we wanted for my husband’s 50th birthday away break !"
! we did have a few problems but we’re sorted swiftly
-
"We really enjoyed our holiday the house was very comfortable with plenty of space for a family with teenagers."
The dogs loved the walks. It was in a great position to allow us to explore.
-
"A nice and comfortable cottage which was good value."
There were a few minor issues such as it does not have dedicated parking as advertised. When we arrived the parking spot was occupied and it appears there are no restrictions, it appears to be regular street parking where anyone can park, we ended up parking on the main street which was slightly frustrating when offloading the car and two children. Secondly, one of the bedrooms has a glass door which leads to a hallway (which only goes to the bathroom), this is a shared hallway with another bedroom though and the glass door was less than ideal. I would suggest this be replaced for privacy and control of light.

"Cobwebs in lounge ."
Outside space unkept . Bedroom door jammed shut although it had been reported in comments book in February ( I took a photo of these comments as proof) . Had a fire broken out in the bathroom area there would have been no way out of that bedroom. This is a serious fire safety risk and needs attending to. No tin opener in kitchen which was disappointing when you’ve had a long trip and have a hungry dog to feed . Would not rent this property again as found it disappointing.
-
"It would be nice if somewhere another toilet could be fitted and new sofas apart from that everything was great"
-
"This cottage was a happy home."
Everything you needed was there. Close proximity to the nearest pub where we joined in the pub quiz. Everyone around us made us feel welcome. A hilly area...not for those who have heart or leg troubles xx

"A lovely cottage."
It's clear to see the attention that has gone into maintaining it. We'd recommend it to friends and family. Likes: kitchen and dining room, particularly the gas burner. Cosy lounge. Great location for exploring. Things to improve? Although we're not big TV watchers so not a biggy for us, the TV remote control didn't work (some buttons fine but volume buttons broken it seems). Accepting it's a matter if personal taste, we found the loft bed mattress very soft! But bottom line, a lovely place, lots of nice touches, and would definitely come back here.
-
"We had a lovely two week stay at Bobbin Cottage - felt at home there the moment we walked in."
Very handy for visiting local attractions. We used the local laundrette a couple of times - the lady was very helpful. However clothes washing facilities at the cottage would be an advantage. We didn't use the dishwasher as we don't have one at home so are not in the habit!
-
"We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider Bobbin cottage again for any trip to Matlock."
The cottage was cosy and provided everything we needed. We love the location and enjoyed good food and drink in the local pubs
-
"A lovely cottage, well maintained and prepared for our stay at Christmas, the owners had put the tree and decorations up for our arrival."
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Bobbin cottage."
The kitchen diner is a great size and a good space for cooking and chatting. The lounge was very warm and cosy - so much so that we didn't need to light the wood burning stove (darn!). There was an unofficial community apple festival during our stay. Lots of people have apple trees and had boxes at the end of their paths with a note, 'Eating apples free to a good home -take what you need", which was lovely. Matlock is a town of hills, and the cottage is located near the top of one of these, so we were much fitter when we left than before we arrived! There is a pair of playing fields a short walk from the cottage, which was great for walking the dog. A couple of drawbacks - the boiler is in a cupboard in one of the double rooms, and you walk through the twin room to get to the attic bedroom. Neither of these is an issue if everyone is up and about at the same time, and this also reflects that this is a traditional cottage and part of the charm is the layout. The parking space near the cottage is a bit tight, and the neighbours are a bit twitchy about parking. We had two cars and when one pulled up to unload, we could see faces at windows so we moved as quickly as we could so we were out of the way. There was on street parking very close to the cottage. We would stay at Bobbin Cottage again.

"Bobbin Cottage is a very well appointed and carefully considered cottage which had everything we needed and is located in a great location."
We had a really wonderful stay and would definitely use the cottage again. It was perfect for our dog too and it seemed like they had considered the needs of their canine visitors too. It was great to receive a lovely welcome pack when we arrived which even had sweets for the children and treats for our dog - thank you!
-
"Fabulous cottage in a great central location for exploring Matlock."
Real attention to detail shown and kitchen has everything required. Owners left us some treats which was a lovely touch. Front garden is a lovely little sanctuary after a long days walking. Highly recommend this little gem.
-
"Good location, house is lovely, parking was good for so many houses around the area, Matlock is a nice wee town & good walks for the dog but very hilly if you are not so fit."
-
"We enjoyed our stay, and would recommend."
Very comfortable cotrage. Nice welcome bits and good information and maps about local area.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay, a family get together."
A lovely cottage, perfectly clean, had everything we needed, loved the decor, a mixture of old and new, nice big kitchen & dining table, room for all of us to sit. Also lots of information about the local area. Lovely neighbour too
-
"Really cosy cottage with lovely views of the countryside."
Warm, cosy and the interior design was so tasteful. Only observation is that one small lamp in the sitting room didn’t give enough light unless we had the ceiling light on. Would highly recommend Bobbin Cottage.
-
"It is a nice cottage close to town."
A bit dusty in places and the sofas a bit musty, the bath is also quite small but has a dishwasher, a log burner in the longue, and a gas fire in the kitchen as well as central heating so very cosy. The bedrooms have plenty of space and comfortable mattresses. The kitchen is also fairly large but the the lounge is small. The cottage owner's instructions for parking isn't accurate because another neighbuor told us to move our car- there is obviously an ongoing dispute between the cottages as to who can park in the space but there is space next to the wall that was always available to use. I wouldn't recommend this cottage for those with mobility problems because it has three sets of uneven steps to the front door and steep stairs inside in addition to a sloped area outside to the road. Overall it was comfortable and pleasent.

"I absolutely love this cottage BUT and it is a big but where are the Wardrobes ..."
I absolutely love this cottage BUT and it is a big but where are the Wardrobes in one of the bedrooms there was a Hanging rail over some drawers in the other bedrooms there are 2 standing rails that if you are lucky you can hang a few things on you really really need Wardrobes I like to hang my Clothes which didn’t happen but like I say an Absolutely lovely cottage
-
"Lovely cottage."
Warm and inviting. Curated to a delightful finish. Beautiful views. Close to Matlock but out of the bustle. Only reason for 4 not 5 stars is that it’s not the best for small children - steep stairs to access the property and to get upstairs. Lots of ornaments for a toddler to break (of which he broke one - sorry again!)
-
"Brilliant stay Thankyou!"
Definitely on our ‘likely to use again’ list! Great location, comfy beds, super pub nearby, great walks! We ordered an Afternoon Tea (takeaway) from ‘Butterfingers’ in town too which we’d recommend! Only one criticism: 10am exit on a Sunday morning is a bit tight. No relaxing lie in - we found we spent Saturday night tidying up too. Then up at 7:45 to get the kids up, breakfasted, showered & tidied. Should be 12:00 exit on a Sunday really. Thanks for a great stay though!
-
"Lovely property with a cosy feel but plenty of space for our family of 6."
-
"The owners were extremely accommodating to our list minute needs."
The house had everything that we needed including a cosy fire for those wintry days.
-
"Lovely property ideal for visiting surrounding areas great views, loved the lo burner."
-
"Wonderfully eclectic decor in keeping with the era of the cottage and theme of the town."
Comfortable and homely, well equipped and a great base for autumnal walks in the surrounding area. Croft Family and Baxter

"A lovely cottage."
A regular home from home... facilities were great. The only observation was the timing on the heating was 'fixed'. As an early riser the heating came on too late. Adjusting the timer was not permitted. It was not good arising to a cold house. However, this did not spoil our overall enjoyment. We have stayed in the Peaks on numerous occasions and this property did not disappoint. The 'local' pub, The Sycamore Inn, provided a great Sunday lunch and the Wednesday quiz night was very enjoyable. The neighbours were very friendly. Overall, a great stay in a beautiful location in a very comfortable cottage.
Thank you for this feedback - it sounds like you enjoyed the cottage and the area in general which is great. Just to clarify that the heating is available 24hrs a day by just turning the Nest thermostat up. The timer will kick in at 7am but if up earlier you can adjust the thermostat so it comes on earlier. There is also a gas fire in the dining room which pumps out a good boost of heat instantly. The benefit of a terrace is that it warms up quickly and the boiler & many of the radiators have been newly fitted. We also try to put the heating on prior to guests arriving so that it's warm on arrival. We hope you visit again sometime. Property Owner

"This was a great property well laid out and comfy for us."
The little extra features in the property like leaving pepper salt and bin bags two toilet rolls helped. The leaving of the information book on the property and the local area was a nice touch. The quality and cleanliness of the bedding and towels was really good. The fact there was a small freezer and a dishwasher was great as we did eat in for some of our stay. The neighbours to the cottage were very pleasant which is good and the fact that the designated parking space was always free was also great as there is very limited parking although we had no issues finding a space for the second car on the hill near the property. The only tiny little niggle was there were 6 of us and the comfy seating in the front room is for 5 but this is so minor as there are other chairs you can bring in from the dinning area. Would be very happy to return to this property and tell friends about it. Great job done by the owners in providing a well maintained and tidy property for visitors to use. Nicholas Titley and family

"Lovely spacious home, My bed was so comfortable although my sister said hers was a little lumpy in the loft room!"
Had everything we needed Couldn’t get the heating on and the fridge didn’t get cold cold but loved the house it was like staying at someone home really cosy and chilled.
-
"A wonderful holiday had by all."
Strange lay out with corridor bed room but knew about it as description is perfect and it worked well for us. Would have been nice to have a washing machine and seems plenty of room for one in the kitchen / dinner area. Was very clean and contact before stay was perfect. Rang in an issue mid week about only having cold water at 20:40 and call back and sorted by 21:00 can't get much better than that. Perfect location so many things to do in under 30 mins driving. We usually do sea side holidays but this made a nice change. We would book again.
-
"Lovely stay, cottage close to everything but the area is very hilly."
Would definitely visit again.
-
"The only thing that could be better is if the outside space was better kept."
It was a little scruffy which was a shame as the weather was so beautiful so we used the outside space a lot. The house itself though was lovely. Beds very comfortable, everywhere lovely and clean and neighbours so lovely too. We would definitely go back.
-
"Pillows need protectors"
-
"We had a lovely break there are plenty of walks nearby."
The cottage has everything you need and is warm and comfortable.The personal touches are nice and the bathroom looks like it has recently been updated. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds very comfortable with good quality bedding. The kitchen is well equiped although the table mats and coasters could do with being changed. Also although the floor in the kitchen/diner is original it is very worn and there are some tiles missing in places.
-
"The cottage itself was comfy and tastefully decorated, the only negative was, that there was a very strong doggy odour in the living room."
We contacted cleaning lady the morning after we arrived to inform her that a light had been left on in a locked cupboard, also that there were no dishwasher tablets, and mentioned 'wet' dog smell. She was lovely and chatty, she was apologetic, explaining that it was a dog friendly cottage (which is why we chose it, as we brought our dogs) and said she would inform the cleaning team to use neutradol, but visited that morning while we were out (with our permission) to turn light off and bring tablets. The walks and views around the area are superb, lots of local pubs, eateries and independant shops offering something for everyone. Would definitely recommend.
-
"We really enjoyed our week at Bobbin cottage, the cottage was very comfortable, clean and had everything you need for a great stay, we loved all the interesting little bits and bobs around the cottage."
It's great that's it's dog friendly and there are lots of lovely places to visit and walk within easy reach. The only downside was the parking is very tight but at least it has parking unlike a lot of properties in the area. Thank you

"LOVELY COTTAGE WITH VERY COMFORTABLE BEDS."
DOWNSTAIRS FACILITIES ARE VERY GOOD. THE ROOM THAT IS DESCRIBED AS THE SECOND BEDROOM HAS NO PRIVACY, AS YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH IT TO ACCESS THE TOP BEDROOM AND THE ONLY BATHROOM IN THE PROPERTY. WARDROBE FACILITIES WOULD ALSO BE USEFUL , AS VERY LITTLE STORAGE /HANGING SPACE UPSTAIRS. IT HAS A LOVELY SMALL OUTDOOR SPACE THAT IS SHARED WITH NEIGHBOURS BUT IS NOT SECURE FOR PETS. THE WALK TO MATLOCK TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES BUT IS VERY STEEP. GOOD LOCATION FOR VISITING THE PEAK DISTRICT AND LOVELY DOG WALKING SPACE IN DARWIN FORREST, A FEW MILES AWAY.
-
"Great cottage for 2 adults with 3 kids and a dog."
Everything we needed. Would stay here again.
-
"It’s such a lovely cottage."
Well equipped, cosy and so comfortable. Only thing that would be great is a washing machine. Other than that would highly recommend. Great location too. Perfect for exploring Matlock and Bakewell.
-
"Just to say about accuracy of listing: there are three double bedrooms, not two double bedrooms and one room with twin beds."
We loved the attention to great detail and no expense spared in the way the cottage had been restored, the very good central heating and wood-burning stove, the very good provision of crockery and kitchen utensils, excellent presentation and sense of welcome (just tiny thing: need for electric oven to be cleaned). We loved Matlock itself with its natural environment, dramatic hills and walks.
-
"This cottage is much bigger and spacious than you expect and was beautifully decorated for Christmas with many thoughtful touches left in a gift bag."
Older children loved the privacy of the bedroom at the top of the house and the layout is exactly as described in the blurb.Parking was never a problem, it is very quiet and peaceful and the facilities and equipment in the house are top end.Super comfy beds and excellent kitchen equipment for self-catering for 6, although you are on the edge of town if you prefer to eat out.We loved it and would definitely return.
-
"Bobbin Cottage was clean and well thought out."
The lack of a second toilet for 6 guests meant we wouldn’t return, I feel the house should only warrant 4 guests booking as also lack of space in lounge for 6 guests to sit comfortably. As you would expect in a terraced Matlock position there isn’t any privacy from neighbours. Only 1 toilet roll provided for 6 guests, no Jay Cloths. Having booked with Classic Cottages lots of time we missed the extra touches like a cake or wine on arrival. Beds were comfy, we didn’t like the fact you had to walk through one bedroom to get to another and the same to access the bathroom, made it difficult in the morning. ( again I feel the house doesn’t suit 6 guests) Sounds like lots of critique but the house was clean and had lovely views.
Thank you for your comments. The owner passes on apologies from the cleaning team that ample loo rolls and j-cloths were not supplied. These are usually standard along with the dishwasher tablets, dispensers of washing liquids, shower gels & moisturiser. Whilst we don’t leave cake and wine, we do make sure there is an accommodating welcome pack of fresh milk, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and even dog biscuits for our furry visitors. With regards to the bedroom layout, bathroom & privacy, it is clearly advertised in the description of the property what can be expected. Previous guests have been complimentary on how the property exceeds expectations from the listing. All of the information is accurately stated on the website and is there to review the property layout to ensure it meets your requirements. Property Owner

"A second toilet would be an advantage, with six adults one bathroom and toilet is insufficient."
Apart from that, beautiful cottage, well equipped and in good repair
-
"The cottage was absolutely perfect, it was clean, modern, comfortable and very spacious."
The only down side to this cottage is the advertised parking, it says for 2 cars but there is really only one space and the other space is a free for all with the other cottages who share the driveway. The neighbours are also quite rude about where you park even when loading and unloading your vehicle, as it can be quite a trek to the cottage with your luggage. But overall it was a very enjoyable holiday with beautiful views from the front windows in a very idyllic setting.
-
"Lovely cozy cottage but far too small for 6 adults,lack of storage space However the cleaners arrived AFTER we’d arrived."
..4 20 pm and stuff was every.It was suggested we vacate for an hour ! Also the oven/slow cooker etc were dirty.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the cleaners of Bobbin Cottage. We hadn't been made aware by them that this had happened and have taken this matter further with the company owner. We have been running the holiday cottage for nearly a year and never any reports of a clean being delayed past 3pm. It's extremely unfortunate that this occurred & we understand how disappointing this must've been. Please accept a token of our goodwill as an apology (the £10 amazon voucher will arrive separately by email.) Property Owner

"My friend and I were both delighted with Bobbin Cottage."
It's a very comfortable home from home and the cottage has been lovingly renovated with modern touches totally in keeping with its traditional feel. Very comfy beds, excellent bathroom, well equipped kitchen and cosy living room with log burner which would be marvellous in the colder months. Matlock itself is a super bustling little town with lots to do in the surrounding area. We enjoyed the local walks greatly but the hills are not for the faint hearted and the walk up from the town to the cottage is pretty hard going! We also had a fab day out at Chatsworth House which is only a 15 minute drive away but didn't have enough time to visit the restored cotton mills and other interesting attractions nearby. So we'll definitely be returning someday and look forward to staying at Bobbin Cottage again when we do.

"The cottage was not for us being situated on a hilly part of matlock but the cottage itself was quite nice."
There was no place in the vicinity to exercise our dog which is a Labrador.Parking at the cottage is poor surely someone can pay to put some tarmac down to mark out proper places also anyone arriving with a 4 by 4 will be squashed up to the other cars.The tv in the lounge was poor we could only get a few freeview channels.I cant see us coming back to this property its just not for us we like to be where we can leave the car and walk the dog near to plenty of free grassland.Last thing its much too expensive to park up in matlock every day.
Thank you for your feedback.. We are sorry to hear that the cottage was not suitable being on a hill, however, being in Matlock in the Peak District it is mainly all hills. There are parking spaces nearby the property as indicated on our Sykes property page. Many thanks Property Owner
-
"The cottage was in a perfect location for walking, and sight seeing,in the Peak District."
It was exactly as described, on your website, so it lived up to all our expectations. It was an extremely comfortable base to come home to at the end of the day. I would like to add that this is the 4th. Sykes cottage that we have stayed at, and each one has been exactly as described. We feel we can trust Sykes wholeheartedly.. in fact we have 2 more properties booked, with Sykes, for later this year !!

"Wonderful accommodation"
-
"Absolutely loved staying here, like most of the reviews said it was a home from home!"
The bed was so comfy and particularly liked how they left some dog bowls out for our doggy. The pubs we went to that were close by were brilliant, the owners were really welcoming Just a few niggly issues no oven gloves and would be nice to be told in the info that there is quite a steep walk to the property, it was fine for us but wouldn't be ideal for someone older or with issues walking.
-
"Beautiful cosy cottage heating on when I arrived and the log fire was lovely."
Very clean good location for exploring the area and the beds were so comfy it was just a great place to chill and relax :-)
-
"Lovely cottage to stay at , lovely decoration , obviously put together with care ."
Great to be able to have three double rooms so no one had to have the little room as often occurs ! Comfy beds and very clean . Front garden is a sun trap if you are lucky enough to have good weather as we did . As the cottage sits behind the houses on the road this is ideal . Would definitely stay again .
-
"We were led to believe that there would be initial fuel for the log burner but there was none ."
...didn’t expect to have to go out on the evening we arrived to fetch this! The property is lovely but would benefit from a fridge freezer and somewhere to hang coats and place dirty boots. We managed to get into the outside shed which was suggested but the wooden door has swollen in the damp weather and we could not open it again!
-
"A beautiful cottage that has been restored with much love and attention to detail we had a lovely relaxing few days there and completely recharged our batteries."
From a practical point of view a fridge freezer and wardrobes would be useful.
-
"Ease of booking and key pick up."
The house was comfortable but also had some boutique hotel touches, good quality bedding and complimentary toiletries and kitchen essentials.
-
"Cottage was very comfortable and well appointed."
Lots of extras provided which made it more of a home from home. Only 2 slight critisisms - a lack of hanging space (no wardrobes, just hooks on the back of the bedroom doors and a type of coat hanger in the attic room and also only 1 dishwasher tablet provided for the 3 night stay ( we had asked the cleaner before arrival if these were provided and were told that they were). Generally very pleased with the choice of property and would love to stay there again.
Thank you for your comments, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay! I am pleased to make you aware that the owner has taken your feedback on-board and since added clothing rails in each bedroom. Property Owner

"The accommodation was a great holiday home with everything a stone throw away."
All of the beds were comfortable and a decent size. The attic room was fantastic for my elder daughters with its own TV and a really nice view. The kitchen had all essentials including larger cooking equipment, enough utensils and crockery which a lot of self catering holiday homes lack. The fire place in the kitchen was a really nice bonus which made the holiday that much more special. It is evident that the owners have put a lot of thought into the place.The only negative was that there wasn’t a freezer and the ice compartment wasn’t enough space to store food because of special dietary requirements. Overall an enjoyable holiday

About the location
MATLOCK
Matlock Bath 1 mile; Bakewell 8 miles.
The popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – a great place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed!
