"A lovely week away for the family in the Peak District."
Orchard View cottage in Parwich was ideal as we needed 4 bedrooms and 2 living rooms. The cottage was well equipped and the owner was very helpful and only a phone call away. All agreed we would definitely return to the Cottage. The Sycamore pub in the village, plus the Bentley Brook a short drive away were excellent for the quality of their food offerings.
Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. Pleased you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

"A lovely old cottage to stay."
The pool table was very popular. Plenty of room to spread out and a largish garden, perfect for children and sitting out in the sun. The village is beautiful and very quiet. There is a pub and playground nearby
Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. Pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Firstly I had great trouble communicating with Sykes themselves even when trying to pay the balance."
After six weeks of difficulty a man rang to complete the balance. I asked him to ring back in 20 minutes because I had something important to do. I think his name was Brandon. He failed to call back so eventually after a further 24 hours I made contact and when I explained that no one called and I needed to complete the finance I was told “because you didn’t pay yesterday we cancelled”!!!!! I was disgusted and furious plus the stress it caused was completely unnecessary. Eventually they reinstated but by that time had caused much upset to us all. As for the property it was ok but for a few hundred pounds could have been made amazing. Lighting far too depressing. Furniture extremely well worn and the games room was so very dull and cheerless. It was badly in need of a coat of paint and a bit of cheering up, it was dull and uninteresting and no fun at all for children. Reminded me of a dungeon. NO MENTION OR WARNING of the VERY STEEP STAIRS until we actually arrived. I am 85 and had to come down the stairs backwards as did my husband. The owner informed us that a lady in her nineties had fallen down them and broken her ankle and I think that was quite recent!!! Garden was pretty but facilities very poor, could of done with some decent garden furniture. The cottage itself was in a pretty village with a great pub close by which had a real fire with a cosy atmosphere. Owners very friendly. With a little bit of thought and care the cottage could have been a hundred percent better.
Thank you for the feedback, your comments have been taken on board. We work very hard to try to keep the property to a good standard. Although the stairs are relatively steep there is a secure hand rail for assistance. There is some confusion, it is not correct that a previous guest (lady) in her nineties had fallen on the stairs and broken her ankle. This is a Grade 2 listed building in the Peak District National Park, so are not allowed to alter the inside or outside structure or have double glazed windows. The games room is in the original garage where there isn’t a window. Regarding the garden furniture there is a garden bench with parasol, four garden chairs in the garden shed and four fold up chairs indoors so that they are kept dry. There is also a Wendy house and small slide for young children to play on the large lawn. It is noted that a few items disappeared from the property during this booking. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at Orchard View over a long weekend."
The cottage was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was very well equipped with plenty cups, plates, utensils and glasses. The beds were comfortable. The whole house was more than sufficiently warm which was important bearing in mind how cold it was at times outside. The house is situated in a lovely village which was a pleasure to walk around. The local pub (the Sycamore) is well worth visiting as they did some great food. Also thanks to the owner for personally coming to welcome us and running through the facilities.
Thank you very much, your comments are greatly appreciated. It was lovely to meet you, I am delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"The property was lovely, in great condition and was really like going to home from home with everything included you could wish for for a holiday stay."
Mrs Gosling was a very friendly, helpful host (lives offsite, so it's very private) who also very kindly had decorated the cottage with Christmas decorations for us. The cottage is also in a great location within 20-30 mins from all key places to visit in the Peak District. All in all a fantastic New Year's holiday and we will look forward to returning in the future.
Thank you very much, your comments are greatly appreciated. It was lovely to meet you, delighted you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to welcoming you to the property again in the future. Property Owner

"Orchard view is a lovely, homely holiday cottage which comfortably housed our family group of 7 plus a dog."
On a cold, snowy weekend, the cottage was warm and cozy. All bedrooms were extremely comfortable. Set in the picturesque village of Parwich, with an excellent pub within easy walking distance, I would definitely recommend Orchard View for a great break.
-
"We have just returned from a very enjoyable stay at Orchard View cottage and have scored it highly."
We can't understand the very recent review which stated "the cottage was not clean" etc. We had a very happy stay and are keen to go there again. The owner Phylis was very nice and helpful.
Thank you very much, your comments are greatly appreciated. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to welcoming you here again. Property Owner

"Celebrated husband's 60th birthday here last week in February."
Very comfort and warm cottage, easily accommodating 5 adults and 3 children. Lovely walks from the village. Great food in the local pub. Lots of great places to visit near location. Games room but chilly but stay through enjoyed by all.

"The cottage was not clean."
A thick layer of dust covered many surfaces. Long spiders’ webs dangled from ceilings. The frying pan and oven trays had food and grease stuck on and had to be scrubbed and put through an intensive clean in the dishwasher. Bedding. Polyester cotton, and towels, were old and tired. The white bath mats were dingy grey. A loose sheet was put on between the duvet cover and bed sheet in the main bedroom. Why? Had the cover not been changed? The ironing board was disgusting and the mop too unhygienic to use. Extractor fan dripping grease. Both should be humanely destroyed. It felt like we spent a week in a house furnished from a house clearance, in spite of considerable rental cost. The welcome item was a packet of Aldi biscuits. Minimal investment but high return for the owner. Lovely village and pub but very unhappy with this house. We have had several Sykes cottages over the last 18 months and delighted with all, until this. I took photos on arrival of all of above.
We are sorry that you were unhappy with your stay, we work very hard, and a lot of time and effort goes into the property. We try to endeavour to make sure that our guests enjoy their visit. Property Owner

"Fantastic place everything you need and the owner was fantastic"

"This is a lovely cottage set in a really lovely village."
The accommodation is of a traditional style, which is perfect for the location with lovely wooden beams and a log fire. The bedrooms were a good size for 3 families getting together. The local pub is great and serve really nice home made food. The owner was fantastic and really helpful, even bringing something over at short notice. Thanks from us all.

"Lovely, well equipped, charismatic cottage in a beautiful village."
Our family had a great time here and would love to go back, would definitely recommend to others
-
"Lovely, enclosed garden which was perfect for our young Labrador with plenty of public walks on the doorstep."
Close to the village pub which offered a warm welcome and served nice food. Perfectly situated to explore the Peak district. The owner went 'the extra mile' and still came out to greet us and ensure that the lights were switched on, so we weren't fumbling around in the dark when road work delayed our arrival by several hours.
-
"A lovely spacious and comfortable cottage in the heart of beautiful Parwich."
Excellently equipped with everything you could possibly need. Private car parking and great safe garden.
-
"Great base for exploring the Peak District Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Alton Towers."
Comfortable house in a lovely village with a good pub. Great for a family get together. Lovely enclosed garden. Friendly and helpful owner.

"It was an amazing stay!"
The cottage had a very cosy feel to it, and all the basics we needed. There was plenty of crockery! We had lovely weather for the barbeque. All of the bedrooms were great! There were lots of leaflets on local days out (if you hadn't planned before coming). Lots of small bits and pieces that really make you feel welcome! I'd highly recommend this as a place to stay! The only minor drawback, was the WIFI not quite reaching the room with the king size bed (with the en suite). Didn't have a mobile network connection from there either (on Three's network).
-
"We all had a fabulous time at the cottage."
The weather was amazing so we sat in the garden most of the time. The kids enjoyed the games room pool and mini snooker, the cottage had everything you needed we couldn't fault a thing. The owner and her daughter we excellent nothing was too much trouble I would recommend Orchard Cottage to anyone without hesitation. We loved Parwich and the local pub The Sycamore Inn served the best Sunday lunch we've had in a long time.

"A beautiful cottage in idillic settings ."
. Comfortable , everything you could possibly need for a lovely stay in this sleepy little unspoilt village .. I would come back again and again but not through Sykes, only through the owner , I found them totally unhelpful and unreasonable.. we personally spoke to the lady who owned it who couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating, but as we had booked through Sykes it was them we had to deal with … never again we will be booking a cottage through them .. you will receive a. E. Mail regarding our complaint with how you handled our booking ….

"Great property, lovely front garden, well equipped kitchen loads of glasses, cutlery, plates etc."
Comfortable bedrooms. Easy access to walks, a few hills! But amazing views. Lovely village with pub.
-
"Great little cottage in a beautiful part of the country."
Comfortable and spacious rooms with everything a young family needs! Very easy check in and out, with very helpful hosts We ate at The Sycamore Inn (5 mins walk from the cottage) and the food was excellent, high quality pub grub!
-
"Orchard View is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting."
Lots of space for our big family, very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed. Thank you so much for a lovely place to stay. We will be back!

"Despite awful weather we had a fabulous time at Orchard View."
The cottage is warm and very comfortable with everything we needed. The owners were extremely helpful coming out at very short notice in wild weather to deliver more logs for the wood burner. Parwich is a beautiful village with an excellent pub serving delicious high quality food. Despite the weather we were still able to enjoy the walking straight from the cottage to Bassington and Tissington. We highly recommend Orchard View for a family meet up in the Peak District.
-
"A very enjoyable stay."
The weather was cold and wet but the woodburner and the company made up for that. All the comforts of home. Even though the parking is limited we managed to get all 3 cars safely parked. A lovely house in a lovely place with a great pub 5 mins away. Bliss
-
"This property surpassed all our expectations."
There was plenty of room for 6 people and the three double bedrooms were really big and comfortable. Phyllis the owner is very friendly and has gone above and beyond to return things to us that we had left behind. The food in the local pub was exceptional. Great stay. Highly recommended
-
"The cottage was ideally located in a very peaceful village."
The local pub and shop were fantastic and had everything we needed. The house was warm and cosy and had a really comfy bed. The garden was well secured so we could safely let the dog out and the facilities in the house were great.
-
"The owner, Phyllis gave us a warm welcome to the cottage and assured us she was available if we had any problems."
Our first impression of the cottage was that it was a little tired and dated. However it was a good size and as a party of 6 adults we found it very spacious with excellent wifi. Beds were very comfy and the heating and hot water system was excellent. Parwich is a lovely village, well worth a visit and the local pub was very welcoming. Overall we all felt the cottage would benefit from some updating but we enjoyed our week and would recommend Orchard View.
-
"We loved our holiday, cottage very well equipped, we found it quite dark due to its age."
, we will return.
-
"The cottage was spacious and kitchen very well stocked with table and glassware, games room was a big hit with the children too."
Phyllis was super helpful and the location was ideal for visiting local attractions and pubs/restaurants. Would highly recommend.
-
"Parwich is a beautiful village from which to explore the Peak District."
The cottage itself was spacious and well equipped but rather tired and a bit grubby in places, particularly the en-suite. The owner, however, was lovely and quickly dealt with the issues that arose when we were there ie broken coffee machine and faulty kettle.
-
"We had a fabulous time at orchard view ."
The cottage is gorgeous and had everything we needed. It was very clean and well equipped. Phyllis the owner was very warm and friendly. Our kids loved the pool table, which was an added bonus. The location was perfect to explore the area. Thanks for a fabulous week

"We both thought lovely cottage in a great village But I think some updating ..."
We both thought lovely cottage in a great village But I think some updating needs to happen as far as being able to get Netflix with a smart TVs Also just really annoying things like walking past wardrobe in bedroom door open all the time Bathroom cabinet door does not close I think it’s a little tired in places But great size nice enclosed garden which suited are purpose
-
"The cottage was perfect, just what we needed."
Parwich is a pretty village set amongst rolling Derbyshire countryside and the local pub is a real gem. We met Phyllis our landlady, and she went out of her way to ensure there were no problems. I can highly recommend a visit to Orchard View, we will certainly be back.
-
"Wonderful staycation with family in this charming Cottage."
Loved everthing about it
-
"Plenty of space, which catered very well for 3 generations and their particular needs."
There were 2 lounges with different styles of seating as well as t.v.in both rooms. The kitchen facilities were the best I've experienced and the cooker was easy to master. Good sized fridge and freezer. The surroundings were good and not far to go for cycle rides and walks .A really good pub which we ate at on the last evening and the portions were extremely generous. A friendly village.
-
"Lovely place to stay on a last minute change to a stag do."
Restaurant down the road was brilliant.
-
"This is a fantastic cozy spacious and welcoming cottage, in a very beautiful and friendly village."
The scenery and walks from the front door are great, as is the welcoming cozy village pub which servers the best sunday roasts! The cottage its self is decorated to high spec and the added games room was perfect for family fun. The cottage is equipt with all that you could need for your stay and we will most certainly be returning one day soon. Thankyou to the owners for your kindness/helpfulness, and your beautiful cottage on loan. If anyone should could to stay here.....they wont regret it.....its magical as is the surrounding area !!

"Orchard view is a lovely cottage in which to spend either a short break or an extended stay."
The cottage is spotlessly clean and the facilities are excellent. In addition, the peaceful village of Parwich is ideal, with plenty of opportunity to walk and explore.The local pub serves very good meal and is just a few minutes' walk from the cottage. Mrs gibson, our host/owner, made us so welcome, even providing some tasty chocolate cakes on our arrival. Our family group of seven thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will definitely pay a return visit to Orchard View!
-
"The owner was lovely and kind."
She showed us round the property and baked a cake for us to enjoy. The property was really nice and was perfect to make our weekend a special occasion for a celebration of a birthday milestone. The access to walks from the cottage was perfect and the pub in the village does the very best pie and mash. Brilliant thank you.
-
"We had a fantastic hen party here over the weekend, mrs gosling goes above and beyond for customers!"
She is such a lovely lady! Would really reccomend staying here! It was such a lovely loccation and the pub was in perfect walking distance. We all enjoyed ourselves and cant thank you enough! Will be back and will reccomend to people! LOVED IT!!

"Acute shortage of pillows 1 very flat one per person is not enough and there were only 2 spare ones in a wardrobe"
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you did not find the pillows comfortable. spares are left within the property and if required more can be requested. Property Owner
-
"People should be made aware to take certain things with them ie toilet rolls as not enough were supplied,kitchen roll as there was hardly any left."
There was no itineray left only a small piece of paper stuck to the inside of a kitchen cupboard letting you know where doctors,vets,shop and the opening times for the local pub were as the shop was in the pub so if you didnt open this door then you wouldnt know also a note to say you had to pay for any breakages.
-
"A lovely cottage with all the necessary equipment."
A great base for a wonderful weekend with friends in the beautiful Peak District!
-
"A lovely cottage for a weekend away!"
We had a great time here.
-
"Loved our stay in this quaint cottage in Parwich."
Excellent for walks and in particularly dogs, small playing fields less than a minute from the property for those who don’t want to venture to far. Luckily the weather was amazing so we took advantage of the local walks. Parking was limited at the property (2 cars max) but again the playing fields had amply parking for the rest of our party to park.
-
"We spent the weekend in this beautiful cottage."
It was very comfortable and the owner who came out to meet us on our arrival was lovely and incredibly helpful. The village itself is picturesque and there are lots of lovely walks nearby. Our group consisted of four adults and five children ranging from 14 to 9 years old and this cottage suited us down to the ground. We hope to visit again as we didn't have enough time to properly explore the area and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage.
-
"Lovely cottage, plenty of room for eight."
Quiet village location but not too far from Ashbourne, Bakewell and Carsington Water. Great weekend away. Definitely recommend
-
"What a delight."
Excellent property, so comfortable with everything we could expect. We stayed in December and our hosts had set the heating to toastie. Lovely!
-
"The property sleeps 9, the only table to sit & eat together comfortably seats 6!"
The knives & kitchen equipment were a little old & blunt. We had to buy a new tin opener as the old one broke. There were only small towels left for us all & only one for the week. No spare bed linen even though children were staying. No welcome notes for recycling/bins/recommendations for the area. Although owner came to explain to us when we first arrived. The photographs were deceptive & made the property appear much bigger than it was in reality. Having said all of that it was clean, comfortable & in a beautiful location.

"Steep stairs could do with an extra banister to aid the elderly and infirm."
