"A truly wonderful cottage- warm, comfortable, everything you need with such attention to detail."
Extremely quiet and in a fantastic location- just a short drive to Castleton with epic walking and interesting places to visit such as Lyme Park and Quarry Bank Mill a reasonable drive away. The area is excellent for cycling once half a mile of busy road is navigated from the cottage. We would not hesitate to rebook or recommend. Thank you.

"One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in with great architecture, wooden beams and lovely brick walls every attention to detail has been taken in restoring this lovely cottage."
The cottage was comfortable, warm and had everything we needed with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Extremely well placed for travelling around the stunning Peak District and local shops a short drive away. Thank you to Brian who was a great host , made us laugh and made us feel part of the community . Would definitely recommend and go back

"Wonderful cottage -everything we could want and more."
Plenty of storage space and clear instructions. Owner on site and extremely helpful and friendly - thanks Brian! - especially when we had a small problem with something which was quickly sorted out. Quite close to a main road but we didn’t find it disturbing at all Might well go back again, it was so good!
Thank you Linda, it was a pleasure meeting you - Brian Property Owner

"Peacock cottage is absolutely perfect."
Everything you could possibly want or need is here. Beautiful surrounding places to go and enjoy. The resident Peacock (Living on the grounds) made our stay even more perfect. Brian the cottage owner could not have been more helpful. A wonderful stay for the 4 of us.
Lovely feed back, thanks Amanda - Brian Property Owner

"We had a lovely time at Peacock Cottage, despite the weather!"
There was absolutely everything you could possibly need there from cooking utensils to dvd's, board games and books.The cottage was comfortable and cosy and i'm sure we will be back.

"Our 5th stay at this superb holiday cottage which is done & maintained to a very high standard."
It has everything & more for a perfect, comfy & relaxing holiday. Brian also couldn't be more helpful & asks us everytime we leave if there’s anything that could be improved, he really cares. The location is also great for getting out to explore in the white & dark Peak it's just perfect. We can't recommend this enough.
Thanks,Helen & Steve,your always welcome back here to bring laughter & banter to the farm.Granola(Peacock) is missing you :) - Brian Property Owner

"One of the best cottages we've stayed in, everything was provided, we needed for nothing."
A friendly host in Brian, nothing was too much bother. An excellent location for exploring the Peak district, we found it really relaxing and peaceful. After a long days walk one of the best facilities was the luxury bath. Would definitely recommend and would come back and stay again.
Thank you for your honest review. It’s very nice of you, - Brian Property Owner

All u would need from a cottage and great position for the runners. It was warm and comfortable as the weather was a challenge and we even baked some brownies in the well equipped kitchen.

I could waffle on about all the good things but all I will say is don't hesitate to book this incredibly thought out cottage.

Thanks Janette, Brian Property Owner

"This property is probably the best Sykes Cottage we have ever stayed in!"
It was absolutely spotless when we arrived and the previous reviews were spot on. Very comfortable sofa and bed with beautiful soft towels. Loved the little extras like a a bottle of Radox by the bath, hand soap by all the sinks and the position of the bird feeder outside the kitchen window was great! Both showers were hot and with good pressure and also an air fryer in the kitchen. Huge credit to you Brian, thank you for letting us enjoy our holiday in your beautiful cottage.
Hi Adrian,I like the way you tell it as it is. Thanks Brian Property Owner
-
"Fantastic cottage really well equiped and very clean."
The view outside was lovely and Percy the Peacock visiting us was a bonus.I would recommend this property to anyone.
Thanks for leaving your review Elaine. - Brian Property Owner

"You have done a remarkable job in providing the perfect home away from home."
The level of finish and the equipment provided were second to none. We stayed at the back end of September and the cottage was always lovely and warm. It is certainly the best holiday cottage I’ve stayed in. The owner is conveniently on site and more than happy to help should he be needed but he wasn’t. However he still came to see us off at the end of our stay. Lovely man. Reference is made of the proximity to the road but you cannot hear it from inside the cottage day or night so don’t let that sway your decision to stay here.
Hi Diane, thank you very much for that wonderful review of my cottage - Brian Property Owner
-
"The cottage has been prepared to an excellent standard with quality fittings throughout."

"Peacock Cottage was lovely place to stay in a wonderful location for our trip to The Peak District."
Brian, the owner is very friendly and gave us a very warm welcome. His spotless cottage had everything we needed for our holiday. A very comfortable bed, fabulous bathroom, well fitted kitchen and outside spaces to relax when the weather is fine. What more could we ask? We loved it and thorougly recommend it.
Hi Anne, thanks for that very honest review of your stay. - Brian Property Owner

"Our fifth stay at Peacock Cottage Brian has just got everything so right !"
Always positive, and always there to help. Even asking for feedback on any improvements or additions needed in the Cottage ! The Perfect Holiday stay as always 10/10 Perfect !! The Peak district always something to do !
Hi Paul & Denice, it was great to see you again & thanks for your review- Brian Property Owner
-
"I don't very often leave reviews but we were so taken with this cottage, we just had to."
Aside from the fact it is in such a wonderful location for exploring the area, this has to be one of, if not THE best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in, in terms of comfort, facilities and provisions. It really did have all you could need to enjoy your holiday - quite literally a home from home. It was absolutely spotless, and well presented. We absolutely loved our stay here. Thank you so much Brian, we had a fantastic break at Peacock Cottage
Thank you Rachel for your amazing feedback. I’m delighted you liked my cottage. Brian Property Owner

"A lovely cottage - spotlessly clean and very well equipped."
Really convenient for Buxton and Castleton. We enjoyed sitting in the sun in the front garden, and feeding the peacock. Lots of walks nearby, and lovely views. Very helpful owner. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you very much Karen - Brian Property Owner

"Idyllic cottage in beautiful surroundings close to Castleton, and the lovely towns of Bakewell matlock and chatsworth, the cottage itself is clean, fresh, and well furnished, and the kitchen fully equipped even with an air fryer, the very comfortable beds with soft furnishings make this a perfect place to relax."
The owner Brian is on hand should anything be required, but ensuring your privacy is respected, The resident peacock (Dave) friendly and inquisitive always around to show off his plumage. A fantastic holiday cottage would definitely return. Kevin and Angela
Hi Kevin, thank you for your honest review of my cottage, - Brian Property Owner
-
"We had a emtb week in the Peak district and this property was clean,comfortable and thoroughly perfect."
Owner was really helpful and property a very good price. We didn't realise the couches were electrical recliners until the last day so that was a bonus watching films from a good selection of dvds. Accommodation has every you'll need. Place was quiet and easy to access great walks and rides.
Thanks Wesley, I really appreciate your comments & I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay - Brian Property Owner

"Peacock cottage was a lovely little cottage for the two of us."
It was comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a good location for visiting many nice places by car. We went to Buxton, Castleton, Winatt's Pass, Glossop, Ladybower Reservoir, Hathersage, Bamford and many other great places. Brian, the owner was very welcoming and helpful.
Hi Alyson, delighted you got to see what Derbyshire has to offer. It’s a beautiful place & thanks for your review - Brian Property Owner

"Our stay was fabulous."
Brian was extremely welcoming and kind; the cottage was amazing, extremely comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Being an animal lover i was so happy to see resident Peacock, chickens and cat, along with numerous wild birds feeding from the bird feeder in the back garden. It felt like Heaven on earth and we will definitely stay again.
Thank you so much for your amazing review Fiona. I’m thrilled to hear you had a fantastic stay. Take care - Brian Property Owner

"Had a wonderful stay at Peacock cottage."
Our first visit to the Peak district, and it proved a great base to explore this beautiful region. The cottage is spotlessly clean, very comfy beds and sofas and so well equipped. The owner is so friendly and helpful, going out of his way to ensure we had a great stay. We are just sorry we couldn't stay longer.
Thanks Alison, it was great to meet you all & thanks for that amazing review - Brian Property Owner

"Absolutely brilliant stay at Peacock Cottage."
The cottage was immaculately clean and fitted to a very high standard. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you would need for a stay including sandwich bags which I had forgotten to pack for our day trips. Cottage also had some board games which we hope to try next time as did not have the time in this trip as we were instead enjoyed afternoon siestas in the lovely comfortable beds post daytrips! The cottage is located in a great location to visit Mam Tor ,Buxton, Chatsworth and especially Tagg Lane icecream parlour with gelato icecream.
Hi Srilatha, it was wonderful to meet you & I’m so glad you had a great stay -Brian Property Owner

"Peacock Cottage is our favourite cottage by far."
We have stayed here numerous times now and have never been disappointed. The cottage is extremely comfortable and well equipped. The surroundings are peaceful despite the cottage being on a working farm. The lovely owner Brian is on hand if you need anything. The cottage is well situated for all the tourist attractions in the Peaks and for some beautiful walks. We miss the place as soon as we have left. We have already booked to return in 2024!
Hi Lynn & Julie, it’s as ever a pleasure to see you & thanks for your feedback it’s very much appreciated - Brian Property Owner

"The property was immaculately kept, very spacious and in a great locations to access the Peak District National Park."

"Very happy with the location of Peacock Cottage, the owner Brian lives on the farm and was very helpful on our arrival."
The cottage is very well equipped and maintained and is a credit to the owner. We like walking and this is our first visit to the Peak District and there is a great selection of guide books in the cottage. Peaceful surroundings and an array of tits and robins on the feeder....great to watch. As mentioned in this cottage briefing there is some road noise from the road but it's a very minor noise which didn't bother us at all. Thank you so much Brian as your cottage couldn't have been better for our needs. Call us lucky or what...as we found this place by accident and we will return.
Hi Denis, I’m delighted you had such a wonderful holiday in my cottage. Thanks for your feed back. Brian Doocey Property Owner

"An absolutely superb holiday cottage, it's honestly the best we have ever stayed in."
It's such a cosy cottage, equipped to a very high standard, super clean and it has everything+ you need. It's in a great location for exploring both the white & dark areas of the Peak District too, it's our 3rd stay here and we would highly recommend it. Brian the owner is so thoughtful & he genuinely wants you to have a good stay in his home, he's a great character too and we love seeing him around for some good banter & chats, but he's also got that good balance of leaving you to it too. Any critique he also takes on board too, so we are now loving the 4 slice toaster, thanks Brian!
Hi Helen & Steve, I’m delighted you had another memorable stay here ,Brian Property Owner

"Hi Brian, thank you for welcoming us to peacock cottage."
The cottage has everything you need and more for a great holiday. Very clean and comfortable. An ideal position for exploring, with lots of walks and towns not too far away. We had a lovely holiday and were made very welcome Thanks again.
-
"We booked the cottage at short notice, but we think we got a fantastic deal."
The property was very well maintained, by very friendly people, and was also attached to a working farm. We had the pleasure of being shown around, meeting some of the animals. The property was well placed, quiet, and within easy drive of the local towns, for groceries and industry. Wherever we went for sight-seeing, the scenery was consistantly beautiful, with the roads requiring you to be alert! I would ABSOLUTLEY recommend this particular house, and we may go again, in the near future.
-
"Peacock Cottage is in an ideal position for exploring the Derbyshire Peaks and Dales."
The cottage was immaculate with everything included to ensure a comfortable stay and the owner is on hand to help should there be a problem with anything. I would have no hesitation in returning and can thoroughly recommend.
-
"Brian is a great host, friendly , on hand if needed."
The cottage was beautifully set up. Comfortable bed, bath was nice, just like being at home. A quiet location. From the cottage, easy to drive around the peaks. Kevin the peacock was super friendly. We will definitely re book.
Hi Chris, thanks for your amazing feed back. Kevin is looking forward to seeing you again some time. - Brian Doocey Property Owner
-
"Peacock Cottage and it’s owner was amazing."
All the fixtures were of a very high standard, little extra were included. Very peaceful farm setting, there is a resident peacock that wakes you up in the morning and comes to the cottage to be fed, it always brought a smile to our faces. Great location for getting around, nowhere too far away with beautiful scenery at every turn. Good selection of pubs and tea room all around too.
Hi Marion, it’s great to hear you had an enjoyable stay, thanks for your lovely comments. - Brian Doocey Property Owner
-
"Another beautiful stay at Peacock Cottage, the cottage as always was immaculate, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and an owner on hand who is only to willing to help with questions."
A stunning area, easy reach to lots to do or to just relax and have that needed break. We will be back again

Brian was very friendly and the accommodation was very clean and tidy and had everything you need.
-
"A super property, in a beautiful location oozing character and charm."
Great facilities and all very homely indeed, managed by the most charismatic and engaging of individuals, Brian, who made us feel welcome and at ease from our very first contact. It was like visiting a friend. We will definitely head back there at some point in the future.
Hi Andrew, Thank you very much for your kind words of your stay at my cottage. -Brian Property Owner
-
"We have stayed at Peacock Cottage a few times now."
Beautiful cottage. Peaceful location. Brian the owner is a really lovely friendly host. Can’t wait to return in March 2022! Love this place!
Hi Lynn, I really enjoy your lovely review. Looking forward to seeing you & Julie again in the future. - Brian Property Owner
-
"Extremely well equipped and comfortable cottage."
Brian went out of his way to make sure that we had the best possible break in this lovely cottage which is surrounded by interesting places to visit.
-
"Great location for a holiday in the Peak District."
Ideal accommodation for four adults. Very friendly owner who made us feel very welcome.
-
"We thought that this barn conversation was brilliant."
Everything we needed was provided and more. It was well worth what we paid. Sadly we notice that the same week in the same property has doubled. That is greed. Not the owner but the letting agent. We will think twice using you again. Sad, as we have been with you for years but you have shot yourself in the foot as far as we are concerned.
Hi Richard, Thanks for the honest review. It’s very much appreciated.It was lovely meeting you all. - Brian Property Owner
-
"Wonderful cottage set in a scenic area."
We loved our stay in Peacock Cottage. The cottage is in immaculate condition, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We were met by the owner, Brian, on arrival who was very friendly and welcoming. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and there was tea, coffee, wine and fresh flowers on arrival. We stayed as a group of four adults, two older ones (us unfortunately!) and our daughter and her partner. There was plenty of room for all of us. There was lots to do in the area - the ‘children’ had great fun visiting three of the local caverns, Buxton and the Chee Dale stepping stones. We were keen to avoid the crowds, so have enjoyed walking in the remote moors and hills. I can particularly recommend walking from the car park near Bowden Bridge up and along Kinder Reservoir. We’ve all enjoyed our time and I strongly suspect we’ll be back!
Hi Sara, Delighted to hear you had a wonderful stay in my cottage. - Brian Property Owner
-
"Cottage was lovely and well equipped."
Brian was an attentive host. A car is essential as there's nothing really in walking distance but you wouldn't come to the Peaks without one anyway. Would definitely recommend.
-
"We had a great stay at Peacock Cottage."
The property is full of character and was in perfect condition. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the extra welcoming touches from the host were greatly appreciated. The surroundings are stunning and the location was brilliant for exploring the Peak District with no more than a 15 min drive to anywhere we wanted to go for hiking. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to this great holiday cottage in the future and would like to thank Brian for going out of his way to make our stay memorable.
-
"Great location, great host, excellent facilities."
-
"Peacock cottage deserves a 5* plus, we couldn't have asked for more, every need catered for."
Well placed in the Peak District, beautiful countryside. Nothing too much trouble from the friendly owner, Brian.
-
"Brian Doocey made us feel very welcome,nothing was to much,friendly and ..."
Brian Doocey made us feel very welcome,nothing was to much,friendly and helpful,the cottage had everything you need will definitely be going back in the future,
-
"A beautiful, very well appointed and extremely comfortable cottage."
Brian is the host with the most and nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is in a great location for exploring the high peaks.
-
"Travelled with family (kids 7 and 4)The host Brian was really helpful and welcoming."
The cottage is excellently equipped, spotlessly clean and fit out with quality materials. The kitchen is fully equipped from glasses to pans, washing machine with detergents. The farm is lovely with chickens, sheep and a peacock around. The second bedroom`s hotel style bed is a great combination as you can make it to a double or twin bed however the mattress was too soft for me and a bit uncomfortable but this is up to you if you like it. Altogether great stay, lovely host and farm. My daughter cried as she did not want to leave
-
"The cottage was excellent."
Very well equipped and spotless with plenty of sprays and cleaning products provided during this pandemic. We felt very safe. Beautiful location in the Peak District with easy access to many good walks and beauty spots. Only one peacock left who is quiet so don’t let the name put you off. Brian an excellent host. Can’t fault anything.
-
"Brilliant cottage, beautifully furnished."
-
"Renovated to an exacting standard, oozing with character and immaculately clean throughout, Peacock Cottage proved a perfectly idyllic base for exploring the Peaks."
The reclining sofas, luxurious slipper bath and exceptionally comfortable beds were all greatly appreciated after a long day's hiking. The kitchen was probably the best equipped I have ever encountered in terms of crockery/utensils etc and the owner (Brian, an extremely personable chap) left tea, coffee and milk for our arrival (as well as a bunch of welcome flowers - thoughtful touch). I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Peacock Cottage and would definately stay there again.
-
"Very well equipped."
Clean in all areas. Owner available if needed.
-
"Everything was fine, a very cosy and “happy” house."
Very comfy bed too. Quiet surroundings, and the interest of the farm and animals. The owner, Brian , was friendly and helpful. Thankyou indeed for a much needed break.
-
"The best property we have stayed in !"
! Attention to every need and detail has been provided by Brian who is so friendly and helpful The property is finished to such a high standard and is immaculate. The surrounding area is outstanding, and it was so nice to come back to the cottage after a days sightseeing . We will be back !! Thank you Brian for your kind help throughout Would highly recommend 100%
-
"Christmas visit at an ideal location for us in the Peak District to visit family."
Great for many Peak District attractions enhanced by a fantastic cottage that was clean, tidy and really well equipped. Thanks to the owner, Brian, for his attention to detail and warm welcome. Would love to return in spring or summer.
-
"There is nothing that could be improved with this property."
It is well equipped and the owner (Brian) has thought of everything to ensure that the stay will be perfect. If someone is not happy with this property, they will not be happy with life!
-
"Although we live in Derby, we rarely have opportunity to explore the more Northerly reaches of the county."
Peacock cottage provided an ideal base from which to discover the delights of Edale, Ladybower, Buxton, Eyam and much more. It being November and forecast to be cold and wet, we hoped for warmth and comfort, Peacock Cottage is abundant in both. It is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in, and there have been many over the years. For attention to detail, charm, comfort and cleanliness, we cannot fault it. The warmth of welcome from the owner, Brian, made us feel very reassured and at home straight away.
-
"We stayed at this beautiful cottage in June this year and couldn’t wait to get back there in October."
It’s the sort of place you don’t want to leave! Clean and comfortable, peaceful and relaxing, a real home from home. Loads of places to visit within easy reach and perfect for exploring the area. Brian the owner is a really nice guy and is on hand if you have any problems (which we didn’t). We’d love this cottage to be our secret getaway but it won't be a secret for long!
-
"Peacock Cottage is perhaps the best cottage that we have ever rented."
-
"The cottage is in an ideal location for exploring the Peak District!"
Castleton is only a short 5 mins drive away and has lots of pretty shops, cafes, pubs & restaurants. There are numerous walks straight from the town as well as some caverns too. We parked in the visitor centre car park, which was about £5 for the day – more than enough time to explore, do some walks and have an afternoon meal. Edale, Hathersage and Buxton are also all within a short drive from the property and worth a look, Buxton has some larger more varied shops and a lovely park. There are also supermarkets close to the property in nearby Chapel-en-le-Frith, so we never had to travel very far. The property itself was very comfortable, we really miss the comfy reclining chairs! It was a great place to return to after a long walk to relax and unwind. The roll top bath was gorgeous and the shower was very powerful, both great for easing tired muscles. It has been thoughtfully renovated and was a really nice place to stay and relax. To the front of the property is a walled garden area with patio table and chairs. We were really fortunate to get beautiful weather in mid-late September and it was really lovely to sit outside and enjoy the views and sun. The friendly group of hens and peacock would waddle over to greet us when we came out and would seem to enjoy our company, sitting around us as we all soaked some rays. I wasn't sure if the peacock would be noisy but it was actually quite quiet, and they made the stay that bit more special. I would recommend Peacock Cottage to anyone wanting to do some walks and explore this part of the Peak District, it's a lovely place to come back to and unwind.
-
"The cottage is spacious and compete with everything to the detail."
Set in a working farm which made it more exceptional as we had the opportunity to go around the animals and feed the chickens and peacock. They also have a small play area which includes two football nets and a trampoline (which our two girls became obsessed with). Location is good as well; on the A623, a couple of miles away from Castleton and Buxton. The best thing however is the host, Brian...such a friendly and amazing chap!! Thanks for everything Brian.
-
"The owner is extremely friendly and helpful."
Cottage extremely well kept and clean. Excently equiped even if the plumbing takes a bit of getting used to! The cottage is well placed for visiting the surrounding area. A very emjoyable short break.
-
"I cannot emphasise enough how wonderful this cottage is."
Everything is really high end from the en suite shower that you can have a sauna in, right up to the leather sofas that have individual reclining abilities. There is loads to do near by, you definitely don't have to be a rambler to enjoy the location, and Alton Towers theme park is only 30 minutes drive away. We had great fun feeding the chickens and Kevin the Peacock grapes by hand, they really are that friendly and tame. We could not pick fault with this cottage and its location and Brian the owner is always available for help or advice. 10 out of 10 all the way :)
-
"Brian the owner was very friendly and helpful."
The cottage was clean comfortable and really lovely, in fact beautiful. It’s obviously well cared for and loved. It’s close to so many interesting and beautiful places, lots to see and explore. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would like to stay again.
-
"This stunning cottage has been a pleasure to stay at and I can honestly say I could live here."
Brian the owner is a great character with a lot in common with myself, it has been a pleasure to meet him and his family that live next door. The cottage has been refurbished to the highest standard and is faultless. I cannot fault this property at all. As a seasoned hill walker and geocacher the surrounding countryside is a dream come true with some stunning walks and views. There are some very high standard restaurants and pubs within a reasonable distance and dining out has been a pleasure. This cottage is highly recommended by myself and my wife and my sister. 5***** rating.

"Fantastic few days away at this lovely cottage."
The cottage itself has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard and is fully equipped with everything you need. The position is ideal for walking and seeing the area. The owner is really helpful should you need any additional information. We plan to return to see more.

"We had a lovely stay at Peacock Cottage and the owner Brian being so pleasant definitely helped to make made the visit very enjoyable."
The cottage is very comfortable and attractively decorated with all the amenities you could want. The location was perfectly positioned for exploring the Peak District being very close to Castleton and Buxton with great views all around. Our two children loved playing with the animals on the nearby farm and we really liked having the very friendly peacocks, chickens, cat and dogs around. The bathroom at the cottage was gorgeous as are the bedrooms and the living room with its comfortable sofas was well-equipped. All in all a great visit, highly recommended and I just wish we could have stayed another week.

"Everything about the cottage and accommodation was just fabulous."
We had a week of walking in glorious weather and at the end of the day, to come back to Peacock Cottage was “grand”. We have stayed in many cottages and this place is by far the best. Thank you Brian for being the perfect host and going beyond the call of duty when the microwave didn’t work and “popping” out to buy a new one! We’ll definitely go back in the future.
-
"Being frequent visitors to the Peak District, Peacock Cottage is now the top of our accommodation list."
The location is easy to get to and enables you to explore around the sights of the peaks in all directions. The quality of fixtures and fittings are high grade and beautifully done. Very comfy furniture and beds and toasty and warm in the March weather. The kitchen provides everything you need to cook easily and lovely views from the windows. Brian the owner is a complete delight to meet and chat with and we felt instantly relaxed and at home and welcomed. We didn’t want to leave and very much look forward to returning .
-
"Lovely cottage, clean and decorated to a high standard."
Facilities were great. We had a lovely stay and were so lucky with the lovely weather. Added bonus was the cat, dogs and peacock etc
-
"The cottage was even better than the photos managed to show."
Speaking as a developer myself, I found it very impressive. The owner thought of so many little details to make you feel at home including lots of books and maps of trips and hikes and things to do whilst in the cottage. You could tell that his guests enjoyment of the cottage and their stay at The Peak District was of paramount importance. My boys and I had an unforgettable time there thanks to you Brian
-
"Location was ideal for walking trips, and the accommodation itself was extremely comfortable."
-
"When you book a cottage, you build a picture in your mind based on the photos, description and previous feedback."
There's usually some disappointment when you arrive. Not this time! Clean. Comfortable. Good facilities. Very warm. I would struggle to fault the experience. There is wifi but it's very slow. Plenty of walks a short drive away but not directly from the doorstep. This let is enthusiastically recommended.
-
"A wonderful cottage, clean, comfortable, fully equipped and very warm."
Everything is of high quality, from the furniture to the towels & bedding. I highly recommend this cottage as a lovely place to stay. The only negative aspect of this location is the road that runs past the farm, even in November it was very busy.
-
"We loved the cottage, thanks Brian!"
-
"Great family accommodation."
The cottage was very welcoming with good quality facilities and was well provisioned. We liked the open plan living area with a warm fire and stocked with DVDs, the comfortable bedrooms with extra bedding if needed, 2 showers and a luxury bathtub with ample towels for all. In addition the location for walking and access to Edale, Castleton & Buxton was perfect for our needs. We will definetly be going back!
-
"The pictures don't do this cottage justice."
Immaculate throughout. Ideal location for the Dark Peak.
-
"Peacock Cottage is perfect."
This was our second visit - we have never revisited a cottage before! Extremely clean and comfortable - everything you could want and more for a relaxing holiday. Supermarkets and small shops less than five minutes away in the car. Amazing scenery on the doorstep. Brian is a brilliant host. What more could you want?
-
"Impeccably designed, spotless, every detail and need carefully considered and accommodated."
One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Brian was welcoming and friendly and gave us an entertaining tour of the farm which was very kind of him. Fantastic location within easy reach of several points of interest. Wasn’t difficult to find at all.
-
"Great accommodation for 2 couples on a walking holiday."
Can't think of anything bad to say about the house, and the location was perfect for us walkers. Brian was friendly helpful and a good laugh. The cat and the peacocks made several appearances on this working farm. Highly recommend

"Peacock Cottage is certainly the best cottage we have stayed in!"
We found everything we needed and more. The cottage was absolutely spotless. Wine, biscuits, milk in the fridge and even flowers on the table! Lovely bathrooms and really comfortable bed- we slept really well. Parking by the door, few minutes from the supermarkets, easy access to the attractions of the Peak District. Brian is amazingly friendly and has done a brilliant job on the cottage and takes enormous pride in keeping it up to scratch. John, the farmer was always ready to chat despite being so busy, it being lambing time. All this and peacocks looking in the window! We will certainly book again.

"The cottage was furnished to high standards and extremely clean."
Both bathrooms have large showers and the main bathroom is a lovely size. The bed linen smelt delightful and the towels were lovely and soft. The owner is a friendly person and we enjoyed talking to him. He puts a lot of thought into the running of the cottage and has a lot of knowledge about the area. The peacocks are a picture and roam about freely. Certainly a place where you can have a relaxing holiday in lovely surroundings.
-
"This is the best holiday let we have ever stayed in."
The cottage is decorated to a very high specification throughout. Everything you can think of has been provided for a comfortable stay. The owner Brian is so friendly, helpful and welcoming and the animals around the cottage frequent the outside of the building and have been a delight for our children. You will not go wrong with booking this place it was spotlessly clean on our arrival and Brain even left us a fabulous welcome gift of fresh cut flowers, wine luxury biscuits and fresh milk. What a gem this place is!
-
"Peacock cottage was beautiful."
It was clean, well presented and had everything we needed for our stay and lots more. Brian was an excellent host. I can't praise this cottage highly enough. I would have no hesitate in recommending it to any of my friends.
-
"We absolutely loved this cottage the cleanliness the facilities and comfort first class."

"What can i say about peacock cottage apart from it was fantastic."
It was clean well equipped and there was no expense spared on the facilities and the decor to keep a family with two teenage children happy takes some doing but they loved everything from the shower pod,big bathtub to the reclining sofas to relax on in the evening and the brilliant internet to use on the evening also. The peacocks in the morning coming up to the door and window to be feed are fab and also isis (named after the greek goddess)the cat is lovely also all in all a wonderful new years spent at peacock cottage and thank you Brian you have a great property.
-
"The owner was very kind and helpful, ensuring that we had everything we needed."
The cottage was warm and inviting and despite being on a farm and not far from a main road it was really quiet. Extra touches like flowers, biscuits and wine just added to the experience. An ideal lace to stay both to relax and to visit the Peak District.
-
"Had a fantastic holiday!"
I'm desperate to go back already! The cottage is stunning the pictures really didn't do justice to how wonderful it is, the furnishings are excellent and the cottage is stocked with everything you could wish for. The road is a little noisy and you can hear it at times but the cottage itself makes up for it. Good location close to lots of good attractions, I wish we could have stayed longer.
-
"The cottage was gorgeous, extra touches that were appreciated."
Really loved our week there.

This charming mid-terrace barn conversion is located near to the delightful hamlet of Sparrowpit, in the lovely High Peak area of the Peak District.
Situated on a working sheep farm with free range chickens, peacocks and pigs, in addition to lots of sheep and lambs.
This lovely property retains many original features, such as exposed brickwork, period beams and natural wood, making it a truly special place for a cosy getaway with family, a small group of friends or for a romantic break as a couple.
Set over three floors, this welcoming cottage boasts two tastefully furnished bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, complete with a luxury multi-jet spa shower.
The family bathroom is no less luxurious, decorated in a nautical style and featuring a period roll-top slipper bath, ideal for enjoying a relaxing soak after a busy day exploring the surrounding countryside.

Outside, the enclosed patio area is perfect for an alfresco meal with loved ones whilst taking in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside and watching the abundant bird life, including the resident peacocks that often make their presence known quite early in the morning.
Across from the patio is a secure metal bicycle lock up so you can sleep easy after a long day spent cycling the peaks.
Just a mile away from this characterful cottage is the pretty little hamlet of Sparrowpit, situated between Chapel-en-le-Frith and the village of Peak Forest and boasting a delightful chapel, a village hall and a quaint farm shop.
