• "The cottage is lovely, high quality and incredibly well stocked - we found nothing missing."

  The garden is lovely with plenty of outdoor furniture but has several stone steps which can be slippery in wet weather ( like most of the Peak District).. The welcome pack was very welcome and lasted for ages. Lots of books, games, puzzles etc, including for children who are very well catered for. The village is also pretty, very quiet, starts a gentle riverside walk. It's very dark at night but torches are supplied. No pub or cafe but we expected that

  Even considered the dog by providing bowls. We also found the neighbours to be friendly and helpful.

  It was a beautiful house inside and out. It was very well equipped and the flapjacks were amazing. The peacocks were stunning

• "Wonderful cottage, very modern inside with underfloor heating making it a lovely cosy stay."

  The kitchen had almost everything we needed and was clearly well thought out- the only thing we couldn’t find was a grill to go on the tray for grilling but we improvised. Very comfortable throughout, although the double mattress in the main room didn’t seem very breathable, or maybe it was the thick duvet so it got quite hot at night. Lots of games and dvds for the whole family and the kids loved the books. Plus there is a great playground 1 minute down the road! Fun to see peacocks in the front yard parading, but they did so on our car roof at times so you might want to consider a car cover to protect the paint work.

  Very well appointed, spotlessly clean, and some peahens from the farm enjoyed some of the provided mealworms. Great job.

• "The property was beautiful, wonderfully situated in the south peaks."

  The cottage is maintained to a very high standard, homely and such a lovely place to stay. You can walk straight out into the area, or drive short distance distances to the market towns and estates for more walks. The house has everything you need, the kitchen is very well stocked, the sitting room perfect to relax in after a long day out. The chickens and peacocks from the farm next door provide great amusement but do keep your dog on the lead! I would love to return as it was a wonderful stay.

• "The property was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations."

  Kitchen was very well equipped and spacious, bathroom was lovely and the wood burning stove was wonderful of an evening. Loved the extensive literature throughout the property. Such a cosy cottage, we could have stayed longer! Also, we weren't 100% sure from the listing if Wi-Fi was available but it was and was really good. You should consider updating the listing to reflect this as it is a great asset, especially for people planning walking activities. Also enjoyed seeing the white peacocks in the morning

  Warm and cosy lounge with wood burner (if required) as cottage itself was snug. Great kitchen and appliances. Nice beds / linen and towels. Different patio options for coffee / lunch etc. All in all a very lovely cottage. 3 minutes drive to three pubs.

• "Beautiful cottage in an idyllic quiet village."

  The cottage is really well stocked with crockery, kitchenware etc, a lovely welcome pack on arrival and the sunny patio with peacocks was perfect. Just the right size for us and an 11yo and 9 yo. We ate at the breakfast bar which suited us but there is a well appointed dining room too. The village is very quiet, just tractors, peacocks and hens to break the silence, with river and dale walks straight from the front door; you do need to go to the next village for pubs and a shop which sell wonderful baked goods. We also visited the Farmyard Inn which served excellent pub food. There is a play area in the village too. Really well situated for Chatsworth, Bakewell, Matlock etc. We had a water leak in the village whilst there and the owners were straight there with water for the toilet and drinking and to pester the water workers up the lane! Very friendly and helpful. Only 2 minor niggles - neither tin opener worked and the top landing step is extremely slippery. Otherwise a fantastic break in a perfect cottage, we really didn't want to leave and hope to be back.

• "A wonderful little gem of a holiday cottage in the Peak District - very cosy, clean and comfortable."

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated all the extras that were left for our use (and the dog’s) ensuring we didn’t need to nip out for bits and pieces all the time. There are pubs and a little shop in the next village about 1.5 mikes away and good local walks. It was a great base to explore the area - and the local peacocks added a bit of fun!!

  Loved the attention to detail as they had thought if everything you could need. The level of cleanliness was 5* . Middleton by Yougreave is a lovely quiet village, apart from the cockerel across the road, but that just added to the charm of the place. We would definitely consider coming here again.

• "The cottage is absolutely beautiful and comfortable in every way, with so many thoughtful details, it doesn't feel like it matters that you are somewhere quite remote because you have everything right there."

  Comfortable beds, super clean and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, everyone from Nan to toddler was very happy with their stay! The outdoor area is gorgeous for alfresco dining and watching all the local wildlife and taking in the garden. The lack of wifi wasn't as issue, 4G worked quite well if we needed it but it's also good to take a break from being online. We would happily return! My only slight qualm is not to do with the cottage but the Sykes booking system. It would be much better if it was possible to book more flexibly with nightly prices rather than weekly, we would have liked to stay 1-2 extra nights but it wasn't possible with the current booking system.

• "The cottage met my expectations rather than Sykes service."

  Enjoyed the period furniture of the fifties, sixties and seventies and brought back many memories. Lack of WiFi was a problem, plus poor phone signal but a coin box at the property would mean that family could contact me if needed and vica versa. Owners always responded to queries promptly. Couple of small problems with tv, remotes and fridge but owners aware and dealing with it for next guests. Lovely flapjacks!

  Many thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately it is not possible to have wifi at this property due to the rural location. Mobile signal can usually be achieved in the garden area dependent on the network.Thank you for letting us know regarding the other points you raised. Property Owner

• "This is an excellent cottage in a very convenient location."

  The cottage has excellent facilities other than lacking a wi-fi connection which wasn't particularly important to me as 4G is present nearby. Cooking facilities are first class and there is a separate dining room. Bathroom has a shower and a bath. The garden area is raised and very pleasant, enclosed and not too large. You can watch a variety of birds on the bird feeder from the lounge, during our stay coaltits and a nuthatch were regularly present and were not even put off by a visiting sparrow hawk. You can walk a few hundred yards down the road and access the River Bradford which provides super circular footpaths to Youlgreave and beyond. Within easy reach (20 minutes max) by car are Matlock, Chatsworth, Bakewell, Lathkill Dale, Millers Dale and Monsal Dale. A country walkers paradise. I highly recommend this cottage.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the property. We do not advertise the property with wifi as regrettably due to the rural location it is not possible. However we hope that the peaceful and tranquil area makes up for this, and we are glad you enjoyed the local wildlife. Property Owner

  The only snag was that the Sat nav didn't pinpoint where the cottage was located within the village, but after asking we found it quite easily. The cottage was fabulous and the flapjack, bread and milk made a great welcome. We had a slight problem with flies but realised this was probably because we opened the front door into the kitchen rather than using the back door. An altogether lovely week.

  It was very well equipped and in a quiet location, opposite a farm where you can get fresh eggs. The owners had left fresh eggs, bread and flapjacks for us. There were lots of lovely walks in the area. We originally found it quite difficult to find the cottage even using a sat nav and there was no internet or phone signal in the cottage. The wooden staircase in the cottage was quite slippery and so had to be very careful going up and down them. However, we had a fantastic few days break.

  The walk down the river into the next village of Youlgrave is magical and with the choice of pubs in the village is a great pit stop before the returning walk back to cottage. The owners have thought of everything from games, DVDs to plenty of books to keep you busy, my hubby throughly enjoyed reading the book about the history of Middleton well worth reading as it gives you a good insight into the village, and we enjoyed spotting the different buildings as we walked through the village. I loved watching the birds on the feeders outside the window. The cottage has everything you need for a great stay in the Peak District, and is not far from Bakewell. The under floor heating is amazing. I would definitely recommend this cottage and we will definitely return in the future, the homemade flapjacks left as a welcome are delicious and went down a treat. The owners of this property have got it just right, and thought of everything, we’ve had a great time and we hope to be back soon.

• "This was an exceptionally comfortable and lovely cottage."

  It's warm and comfortable and very well equipped, with some lovely mid century ceramics. The selection of local history and guide books is the best I've ever seen in a cottage. There are many lovely walks straight from the door. Middleton is beautiful and a very peaceful location if you want to get away from it all. Downstairs is beautiful and very well thought out. The front bedroom is also very good. If you like GPlan you'll be in actual heaven. It is slightly let down by the double bedroom at the back, the kids certainly got the better deal in terms of space and comfort and the view. The back bedroom did smell a bit damp and the window was stuck and we didn't want to force it open for fear of breaking it. My main discontent though was there were no bedside lights and no bedside table. I knew from the pictures that it was a small room and there were wardrobes either side of the bed but in practice it is a real pain not to have somewhere to put a cup of tea. The pictures did show reading lights on the wardrobes but there weren't actually any there, this should be sorted. I think it would also be worth considering swapping one of the wardrobes for a bedside table.
