• "This cottage was a huge disappointment very shabby needs a deep clean not comfortable at all bed too big in small bedroom mattress very uncomfortable bedroom doors don't shut no wifi all week tried to contact owner left a message she did not get back too us no oven dishes very busy road outside patio needs a jet wash downpipe floods by back door no welcome pack just a sheet of paper the nieghbours were very helpful and let us use their back garden to access the backdoor as no pavement came home a day early due to lack of comfort and lack of sleep."

  My sincere apologises for not being able to rectify some of the issues. wifo is not installed in the cottage and it does say so on the details. I was out if the country and Sykes would have dealt with your issues. I clean the cottage myself and am aware of how it should be for guests. Was not aware of a leaky downspout but will certainly get the plumber to check. There are numerous oven dishes provided but will add.more. wall cupboard in lounge as lots of information on the area ie walks places of interest restaurants pubs. local amenities. I am pleased my cousin was of help to you.It is mentioned on info regarding main road this is why access is better from the rear. Kind regards Property Owner

• "Bea's cottage is an absolute gem of a place to stay for exploring the Peak District national park,we have become regulars at Bea's cottage,this was our 7th stay and every time we arrive Bea's cottage is spotlessly clean and the neighbours are always very friendly and welcoming."

  As soon as we arrive at Bea's we feel very relaxed and the stresses of work seem a million miles away, enjoying great views of Lantern Pike from the front windows. Bea's is perfectly located for access to hiking in the national park,just a short walk behind the cottage across Middle Moor and you are on the Snake Path that takes you passed Kinder reservoir and up to Kinder Scout,the views are absolutely stunning!! Lantern pike pub is only a 5 minute walk and serves delicious food at a very reasonable price. The owner of Bea's has always been very helpful with any questions we have regarding the cottage. Looking forward to returning to Bea's soon, highly recommended!!

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback and coming to stay with us so many times, we are glad that you continue to enjoy Beas cottage and what this wonderful area has to offer. We hope you come again for another visit soon! Property Owner

• "Wanted to cry when I walked into the property, nothing like the images."

  Poorly maintained, tired, dirty, badly equipped, the whole place felt as though it had just been thrown together with things lying about. No pots matched, the bedding had been patch repaired and the towels all smelt. The back bedroom should not have a double bed in it, couldn't even open the door. No bedside lamps for reading. No welcome pack with local info. Only plusses were the location for avid walkers and the friendly, helpful neighbours. If this is the standard of cottages Sykes has on their books I wouldn't recommend using you. I think the standard for what we paid was terrible, I would have paid a lot less for this standard, will not be using you again

  Hello Victoria. Upset to read your comments. You mention dirty, but for me to be able to sort things out perhaps you have photos or description of the dirty areas? I do clean the property myself so would be grateful if you could advise. You mention poorly maintained can you please be more specific which areas.Crockery is mostly white, apologies for it not matching. A welcome pack is there, it can be located in the wall cupboard. Sykes Cottages will be reaching out to you as I have asked for further information. Regards Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay, the cottage was clean and the bed in the main bedroom was comfy."

  Its a great location for walks. Parking provided for one car was great. Finding roadside parking for second car could be an issue. There are two key safes so the backdoor key might well be in the backdoor safe. We would be happy to book this cottage again.

  Hello sye many thanks for your feedback. I always appreciate remarks regarding beas whether they be positive or negative. Once again Thankyou June Property Owner

• "Positives first location as always fantastic, great walks from door step."

  Cottage needs some TLC and certain areas need a deep clean, flooring under bed in back bedroom? Bedding and towels spotless. Great WIFI. The busy road is relentless day and night. Went to sleep in back bedroom but unfortunately bed seen better days. As mentioned in other reviews not dog friendly at all regarding outdoor space. We left a day early due to lack of sleep and comfort.

• "The cottage was in a fabulous location with plenty of walks on the door step."

  The neighbours were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. The books provided about walls were very helpful and much appreciated. Sadly, the cottage was pretty run down and unclean. On arrival we had to purchase cleaning materials to clean the kitchen, all cupboards and draws were full of crumbs and hairs. The plates and glasses were dirty and required cleaning before use. There was also thick cobwebs in all the rooms. There was a pile of ‘off cuts’ of laminate boards in the second bedroom floor and under the bed. It was Lovely snug cottage in a beautiful location, just needs a little TLC.

  Thank you for your feedback. We have a small selection of some cleaning items in a cupboard but for health and safety reasons we do not keep anything else in the property incase children get their hands on them. We will check over the cleaning, sorry this was an issue for your stay, should you have notified us during your booking, we would have helped rectify this for you. Apologies regarding the boards under the bed, initially we were going to replace the flooring but instead opted for a carpet option. These will be removed. Kind regards Property Owner

• "Lovely views of hills and sunsets were spectacular."

  Description fitted the reality in general, however, the bed in small bedroom was too large for the room so the door didn’t close. A warning about accessing the cottage around the back, the steps were steep and slippery in the wet. We had a lot of luggage and it was a hard job getting it in and out of the cottage. More suitable for the light of load and the agile. Facilities were good, heating worked, hot water, good wifi and tv. Books and maps about the locality provided. Cute decor, plenty of bed linen and blankets. Near to big supermarkets by car eg glossop tesco and marks and Spencer food. Great pubs and coffee shops in Hayfield. Gateway to Kinder Scout and the Peak District with a plethora of walking trails and outdoor activities.

  Many thanks for your comments, we will be looking at changing the bed in the second room and we do include information on pre arrival communications re the best place to park. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "This was our 4th stay at Beas cottage and we couldn't wait to return, it certainly didn't disappoint, on arrival at this spotlessly clean, well equipped comfortable cottage, we immediately felt relaxed and the long journey from Essex and our hectic work lives back home, soon felt like a distant memory."

  The neighbors went out of their way to be friendly, helpful and took time out to have a chat with us. With views of Lantern Pike out the front window of Beas, Middle Moor and the Snake path leading to Kinder Scout only a short walk behind the cottage, we really were Spoiled for choice with beautiful walks to enjoy with our dog in the stunning surrounding Peak district national park. The dog friendly Lantern Inn is only a short 5 minute walk from Beas and serves delicious meals at a very reasonable price, with very friendly staff. Cant wait to return to Beas,we are already planning our walks for our next visit. Highly recommended!!!!!

  Hi Paul am so delighted you and your partner enjoyed your stay at Beas. You are obviously keen walkers and appreciate the beautiful countryside surrounding beas cottage. BEAS is ideal for hikers ramblerss etc it is situated in a very central spot fir access to the fells. Ilook forward to greeting you again next year. June Property Owner

• "The cottage could best be described as ‘adequate’."

  Not particularly clean and rather lacking in kitchen utensils (plates, bowls, cutlery etc.) There was no welcome pack, or information provided. I wasn’t aware that the field at the end of the track behind the cottage was out of bounds to people and dogs, but was abruptly informed of this by a very grumpy woman who accosted me as soon as I passed through the open gate. Information about this in the cottage would have been helpful. However despite this, we enjoyed our stay at Bea’s Cottage - the views at the front are lovely, the surrounding area is beautiful and perfect for great walks with our dog. Access to the front door of the property is difficult due to lack of pavement and a very busy main road, which made unloading and loading the car quite perilous. Bed was comfortable and plenty of clean towels and bedding provided. The local pub - The Lantern Pike was excellent. We enjoyed two meals here and the staff and regulars very friendly.

  Hello Thankyou for your comments and i am pleased you enjoyed your stay at Beas Cottage. However i would like you to.point out where you felt the cottage was not clean and then i can do my utmost to put it right. I will also place a welcome pack for guests. It does state in the advert that the cottage is on a busy main road from buxton through to glossop. Usually my cousin meets and greets guests and assists them through their rear entrance to beas away from the road.They must have been out when you arrived. Regarding crockery and cutlery I will make sure there will be enough to accommodate 4 people. Thankyou for your custom. Kind regards June Rios Property Owner

• "This was out third stay at Beas Cottage and we couldn't wait to get back there."

  Its the perfect location for exploring the Peak District, you can walk to the summit of Kinder Scout across Middle Moor located just behind Beas Cottage,1.5 hours of hiking after leaving Beas cottage and we were on top of the Kinder Plateau enjoying the stunning views across the Peak District. We also took the short 20 minute drive to the pretty village of Castleton and explored Mamtor ,Lose Hill and Cave Dale, well worth a visit. After a full day walking in the hills its lovely to come back to the comfy, clean Beas cottage with its lovely views of the Lantern pike hill, its a very relaxing place to stay and unwind, with very friendly helpful neighbours and only a short walk into Hayfield for a great selection of pubs and cafes selling fantastic food. Cant wait for our next stay at Beas!!!

  Good morning paul Many thanks for I will continue to keep the cottage up to date and make it as comfortabke as possible for all guests. I look forward very much to having you stay at the cottage once again. Kind regards June rios Property Owner

• "The holiday cottage was compact and homely and had beautiful views over the hills surrounding it ."

  It felt like an escape from our other pressures and some of the neighbours were very helpful about the surrounding areas and lots of leaflets in cottage too . Parking at the cottage was reasonable, and we were shown by a helpful neighbour how to access property behind ,as to the front is a pretty busy road, so difficult with shopping and dogs . It would have been useful to have some basic pointers about useful info, as to how to work the boiler, use hob and recycling or bin facilities.The manuals were in a drawer, but I for one struggled with the convector hob , gave up one night but eventually got it to work . For dog owners ,they need to be prepared to lock front door and take dogs out on lead to garden that is set up high at the back..up 2 sets of steps ,this was not an issue for us,but could be if less active . The bonus was the rural setting was really lovely . The beds were comfortable enough and towels and linen provided.. Possibly the sofa and chairs needed to be a bit bigger or something for sprawling, but yet again the cottage is quite small for larger furniture .Many thanks, we enjoyed our stay and the purple heather on the hill behind was in full glory ..

  Many thanks for your positive remarks. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay at Beas. Kind regards June Rios Property Owner

• "A characterful little cottage outside Hayfield."

  lovely views of Lantern Pike, and an ideal location for getting out onto the moord and hills. THe cottage was comfortable if a bit basic, but decent value for money. It's on a main road, and the off-road parking is 30 yards or so down the road, which made entering the cottage with bags etc on arrival a bit more difficult than usual, but easy to get used to. We had an issue with the TV and BT Internet but owner very helpful. We had a great week. It's a perfect place to stay for keen walkers!

  Hello and thankyou for your feedback on Beas. It must have been difficult for you parking away from the cottage but there is a parking lot by no. 12 glossop road for one car.Also rear entrance through no.12 to Beas avoiding the busy road. Kind regards June Rios Property Owner

• "When we arrived the house had not been cleaned or laundry changed for the new occupancy and it took some while to contact either the owner or Sykes about this."

  we were than (at 7pm) asked to 'go to the pub or for a meal' until 10 oclock to let someone attend to clean. this was not acceptatble . we remained in the house and managed the sheets. We did receive compensation but of course this did upset the initial feel of our holiday. There are limited kitchen provisions eg no baking trays, if there had been 4 people there would not be enough matching crockery for them and the neighbour had to deliver initial toilet roll and washing up liquid. Visitors should note that although dogs are accepted the garden is not secure and therefore it is difficult to let the dog out and notices in the garden are discouraging of dogs.

• "The cottage wasn’t that clean, the floor needed work and it was bare floorboard which were polished but there was quite big gaps and in them and were uneven especially in the bathroom."

  The front garden wasn’t well maintained at all and very overgrown and you kept getting pricked by the sharp plant which had overgrown so you brushed past it every time you went in and out of the front door. The location is nice but due to it being on a busy road it would be good to look at better sound insulation

  It's a lovely, beautifully decorated comfy cottage, we felt at home as soon as we walked through the front door, the neighbours were really friendly and offered us advise on places to eat and where to go hiking . The path that takes you across Middle Moor, Kinder Reservoir, William Clough and up Kinder Scout begins just a short walk from the cottage. Highley recommended, we have already booked a return trip for later this year to Beas Cottage, cant wait!!!

• "Beas cottage was in a lovely location for exploring, we had everything we needed for our stay."

  The cottage was very clean and tidy, we were sad to leave. My only suggestion would be comfier seating in the lounge, not that this is a huge deal as we were out enjoying the high peak all week. The neighbours were friendly and welcoming too. Will definitely use here again when we make the trip up to visit family and friends. Would definitely recommend.

• "We needed a cottage because we were having building work done at home."

  So it met this need. However we did not find the cottage dog friendly. The front garden is ungated and leads on to a very busy road (lots of traffic noise and no pavement). The back has a very small yard which you exit via steep stone steps. One of our dogs has a ligament problem and had to be carried out. We also got quickly informed by neighbors that dogs are not encouraged at the back of the property and that dogs are not permitted on the little piece of grass at the rear. Suggesting that this is a dog friendly property is a gross exaggeration and need to be removed from the listing. Also no bedside lamps were available and the shower room was not well finished. We only paid £372 for the week so it was cheap and cheerful and got the job done. Had we paid the normal full price you'd be hearing from our solicitors.

• "Positives Good location, beautiful views from windows, very comfortable bed & seats in lounge."

  Good selection of crockery, cutlery & glassware. Loads of towels. Negatives No Welcome Pack (Visitors Book, Local Information [e.g. Contact Numbers - Doctors, Restaurants, Vets, etc]). No drawers in either bedroom for socks, underclothes etc. No trouser hangers in wardrobes. Old used washing up sponge (untidy under sink), no idea where to put waste, except glass. Lounge was quite cold, either needs a larger radiator or extra heating (convector heater). Ideal for a couple or small family, particularly if the second bedroom had bunk beds instead of a double bed.

  It is on a busy main road with no pavement (as stated in the description of the cottage) but there is access from the back of the property to the car parking space so this was not an issue at all. The cottage has amazing views and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. There are places to walk dogs without needing to drive anywhere and dog friendly pubs within walking distance.

• "We have used Sykes for our last four holidays and the other cottages were fine, this one however was poorly equipped and tatty."

  There we no finishing touches, no welcome pack or instructions and not even any soap in the bathroom. Access was not easy as the cottage has steep stairs at the rear and a busy main road down steep stairs at the front, both not ideal with a dog on a lead. The wifi was really good however but apart from that it certainly was not a comfortable cottage.

• "The cottage was as described and was clean, comfortable and well equipped."

  It was also well located for the surrounding countryside and walks and close to amenities. The only negative is the cottage is located on a busy road making it noisy from the traffic. Otherwise it's a great, dog friendly cosy retreat. The neighbour at number 14 was very friendly and accommodating and allowed us to park 2 cars outside his property (the agreement is only for 1) and was also generally helpful.
