• "The property, as always, was superb."

  The owners are exceptionally kind and respond immediately to any concerns. I rated Sykes itself a little lower simply because temporary overseas tenants, like myself, are not able to buy insurance from you against breakages, damage and the like.Sincerely, Maurice Taylor, Japan.

  One tiny criticism......the shower drain seemed slow. Other than that, should we decide to visit the Dale's again we would definitely stay there.

• "Really well equipped flat with everything we needed for our stay."

  Very kind of the owners to leave milk and biscuits for us. Dishwasher and washing machine in the flat was very welcome. Can’t really comment on the location as we were using it as a base while we visited friends so we weren’t doing the typical ‘tourist’ thing! Generally, presentation and cleanliness was good but there were some fairly large cobwebs hanging down in the bedroom (tall ceilings so understandable), thick dust on the skirting board behind the bed/mirror in the smaller bedroom. The main thing that let it down was the state of the shower. The cubicle was riddled with mould and the seals were green with mould/algae. These are really simple and cheap to replace so I can’t understand why it hasn’t been done. Would also have been nice to have some information somewhere about where rubbish needed to go and facilities for recycling. We ended up leaving the bag of rubbish in the flat which I felt bad about as we didn’t know where it went. We also took a bag of recycling back home to Weston super Mare with us! Having said all of that, overall, it was still a pleasant stay and we would return if visiting friends again.

  Hi Ella, thank you for your feedback. I completely agree that our standards had slipped on this occasion. The cobwebs have now been removed and the shower has new seals and has been regrouted. Due to personal circumstances I had not personally been to the property in a few weeks but that is no excuse, please accept my sincere apologies and thank you for your honest feedback Property Owner

  Bus stop outside for easy access to Matlock Bath. Our only problem was the traffic but that's not the property's fault. Matlock had endless road works and road closures.

• "Superb apartment."

  We stayed in September 2022 and enjoyed so much we returned in December 2022! Matlock is a wonderful base for local walks - we never once used the car. This apartment was amazingly cosy. We stayed during the coldest week of the year!!. (I guess all rental prices nationally will have to increase to reflect the horrendous increase in UK energy prices). This apartment (with free parking!!) is one of the best I've ever stayed in. Thank you Highly recommended.

  Very lovely and comfortable apartment in an excellent location. I would highly recommend and would definitely hope to stay again if we return to the area. Parking was (as always) a great bonus. We did not use the car at all. We walked or used public transport which was very good (if not always on time). Word of caution - don't make assumptions! I assumed there would be a hair dryer. There wasn't. Bring your own if you need one. I was fortunate to find one in a local charity shop for £3.

  We noticed this time that the cleanliness was not quite up to scratch - a dark line of dust on one of the windowsills, stuck-on food on the microwave's turntable plate and mould in the shower. The fridge and freezer don't shut properly. The kitchen and bathroom both need to be refurbished. However, we still love the property.

• "A bit disappointing."

  Spacious apartment but looking a bit tired. Kitchen area could have been cleaner. Chipped crockery. Beds uncomfortable. No storage space in small bedroom to hang clothes as tall boy filled with owner's spare linen etc. Wardrobe drawers in main bedroom kept falling off runners. Very noisy with traffic as on a main road. Positive points were the parking, being so close to shops and amenities, lovely walks through the town, well converted old building, good base for days out.

  We all loved Matlock and would stay in this flat again. The Flat was in walking distance of such a lovely park and a church as well. There is just so much to do in the area, so much history on the doorstep, one visit is not going to be enough. Highlights were The Heights of Abraham, Poole Cavern, the Ghost Tour in The Galleries of Justice and the Peak Bookshop and Cafe. The young men who showed us around the caverns had such a fab sense of humour Our son did Peak Rail and he loved it

  As we don't drive we get here by train from Bridgwater. A very easy journey. We get about by bus -- fabulous views. When we were there BT WiFI was installed in the flat. Even better! The mini-market opposite had all our everyday needs. There was a very good Sainsburys and other shops in reach. And the bus stops outside. The flat is perfect for 2 elderly active pensioners.

  Everything was provided and showed that the owners had thought about their guests. Our only hesitation in giving full marks is to do with us. As a couple we sleep in separate bedrooms and found the second bed creaked as you turned. Not really for adults. The accommodation is very central and some traffic noise at night. But we would return. Thank you so much.

  It was clean well, equipped and spacious and close to all required amenities.

  We came prepared as we were staying for four days but we could have left most of it at home because we were well catered for. The location was even better than we had expected with a local play park and a good pub. You won’t be disappointed if you are booking this for two adults and two children. I am only saying that as the second bedroom has a pull out twin bed not a double.

  We were really pleased with the easy access to the town centre which was a pleasant walk through the park. The parking available could sometimes be a little awkward but there was always a space. The key collection was very easy. The only thing that let this property down were a few minor details that we have now come to expect with a self catering holiday and which have always previously been provided such as oven gloves, washing up liquid and sponge, hairdryer, toilet cleaner and more that one toilet roll! We still had a great holiday in the apartment and particularly enjoyed the large sunny kitchen/living room and character of the property.
