"Very clean and well appointed just a short walk into the town."
I can't think of anything that we needed that wasn't there.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay at this property."
Quick five minute walk and you’re onto the main high street, with free on street parking. House was clean, kitchen was well stocked with all required components and utensils. Bed in the main room was large and comfortable. Only minor suggestion would be to maybe put another lamp in the living room (on the shelf to the left of the tv perhaps?). The main living room light was quite bright, but with it off - the one lamp in the living room wasn’t bright enough. We brought down one of the bedroom lamps, that and the existing living room lamp was fine.

"A good 5 night stay, thanks."
Made a good base for my trip to the Peak District. Handy to stay in a town with so many shops and evening food options within walking distance.
-
"Excellent stay with great communication and support from the owners."
Nice gesture with the gifts on arrival. Very good location for Buxton Town centre and no issues with parking. Beds very comfortable and Smart TV was a plus. Only comments we would make is that the table lamps in lounge and bedroom could be better and it was quite dark by kitchen sink and dining table. Also, anti slip mat for the shower would have been nice. However, would definitely stay here again
-
"Best holiday rental we've ever used."
Sufficient towel rails and hooks in bathroom, washing up liquid provided, also salt and pepper. Teabags and instant coffee in kitchen. Obviously a well thought out rental. Parking fairly easy although a little tight. Only slightly negative comment might concern the steep and narrow staircase which might challenge the less fit customers. Situation close enough to central Buxton but in a quiet area.

"We had a lovely stay - the accommodation was perfect for the 5 of us, and the courtyard garden was perfect for our dog."
Great location too for a walk into the town
-
"Lovely 2nd stay here."
.bed comfy..everything u need..owner on hand to sort any issues .highly recommend..Great base for surrounding areas
-
"Lovely cottage exceptionally clean amd had wverything we needed."
Added extras were a lovely touch. Lovely owners who were great with a problem (of our own making) parking was a bit of an issue as when coming back in the evening there was nowhere to park near the property. Beds were a little uncomfortable and one definitely needs replacing, but it didn't affect our stay and we would definitely return
-
"Good points: Clean, good size bathroom & kitchen."
Prompt attention to light bulb replacement Bottle of wine & milk good touch Points to consider for improvements: -As front door opens directly into exterior, would advise a curtain behind front door for cosiness & privacy - light in sitting room still flickers despite replacement. Whole room could be brighter or more ambient lighting as it feels rather stark - good size kitchen but with better rearrangement, could make better use of space to accommodate small table. Likewise boiler area could be better utilised - stairs are v steep, should clarify in accommodation description as would not be suitable for some
-
"Lovely property, great location."
Clean and cosy - perfect for a weekend visiting friends! Will hopefully stay again
-
"A great break in the cottage."
It was comfortable and worked well for our family of 5 plus dog. Our only suggestions for improving it are a fifth chair around the dining table and a few more mugs in the cupboard. It was good to be able to walk to a field and play park and also into town to good pubs.
-
"We have just returned from a stay at the property and have had an amazing week."
It was very well equipped - even down to the little touches of a hairdryer and bubble bath being supplied - and the welcome pack of chocolates, wine, milk and breakfast juice was greatly appreciated. As for location it is ideal with many superb walks on the doorstep. We travelled to Thor’s Cave, Dovedale, Tissington Trail and Manifold Valley, all within easy reach and very recommended. Chatsworth House isn’t far away and neither are the towns of Bakewell, Matlock and Ashbourne - all worth a visit too. Parking at the property is on-street and we never encountered any problems. There was always spaces in the general vicinity. Dogs are welcome and a big plus is the park at the top of the street (two minute walk) where he could play ball and run off his lead. All in all a lovely place to stay and we would have no hesitation in staying again.

"Lovely clean house."
Comfortable beds. Great location.
-
"We had a great stay at Bennett St with our two teenagers and dog."
The house was clean and comfortable and in a great location less than a ten minute walk from the centre of beatiful Buxton. We explored the sights and parks locally with Solomon's Temple and Pool Cavern just a few minutes away on foot, and proper hikes such as Three Shires Heads, not far by car. Our four legs enjoyed running on the field at the top of Bennett St, just two minutes away from the house. We found several dog friendly eateries too and would recommend the Cheddar Cheese Pub, Lubens and the Sacro Lounge.
-
"Nice property, in good location."
Very well presented with everything required Would stay again.
-
"Lovely cottage."
.ex owners electricity tripped. We checked wasn't the street. Text the owner who rang us back within 5..offered to come and sort but we were happy for instructions .All back on within minutes. Blessed with the weather. Rebooked.
-
"Property exactly as advertised."
Nice outside space at back to sit out. Only a few minutes walk from centre of Buxton. Wine and chocolates were a nice touch. Overall a very pleasant stay.
-
"Lovely property, great location and everything you would need for a perfect stay …."
Loved the wine and chocolates
-
"Great house very well equipped with everything we needed for our holiday."
We appreciated the coffee, orange juice, wine and chocolates, thank you! A light /lamp nearer the table would help as it was a little dark when we ate later in the evening or when playing board games. Would love to visit again sometime
-
"This was our second stay here as the house is so clean, well equipped, comfortable and great location for us."
The landlords are really helpful too.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay."
The cottage is very handy for central Buxton and local attractions in the town. Parking in the street can be a little difficult if arriving late.
-
"There was a bottle of red wine, carton of orange juice and a box of chocolates awaiting us on our arrival which was a lovely touch."
We understood there was no washing machine from the listing but I think having a washing machine rather than the dishwasher would make sense esp as we had a lot of cycling and hiking gear to wash. However a lovely stay on a quiet street v close to the centre.
-
"A lovely holiday home."
Very comfortable beds. Everything you need, the only thing that you might miss is a washing machine but there is a laundrette close by. Nice finishing touches like biscuits and chocolates left by the hosts. The host were friendly and very helpful with any requests. Brilliant location close to the town and lots of nice walks. Would love to return again.
-
"A lovely little cottage very close to town."
Parking can sometimes be difficult. I agree with others that a washing machine would be useful.
-
"Lovely little house in walking distant to central buxton lots of shops, pubs and parks."
Parking was quite tricky at times just because it’s a terraced street so lots of cars. Host was really welcoming letting us into the property early and she also posted my sons cuddly toy back to us which we left behind!!
-
"Wonderful stay and great hosts."
Thanks
-
"Comfortable, clean and cosy."
A wonderful base for our family holiday. Easy access to all of the beautiful Buxton sites and the owners of the property were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend!
-
"A cosy, warm house with all the comforts you could ask for."
Beautifully clean and thoughtful touches like a complimentary bottle of wine in the kitchen when we arrived. A great base for some beautiful countryside walks and the pubs and restaurants of Buxton are very near by.
-
"A good and enjoyable experience."
Would certainly book again. Could do with a washing machine. Smaller than the photos look. Overall nice and comfy.
-
"It was a wonderful stay for a party of four women!"
An extra bathroom would have been the only thing that would top this. Perfect location for getting around in town and out. Parking on the road was expected and not too problematic. Cute little patio area for breakfast/ evenings. Beds and bedding were super comfy after a long day of hiking. The cookies, wine and milk in the fridge were a nice touch after a long journey there :) thank you very much for a comfortable long weekend trip.
-
"Great house for a holiday."
Convenient to all local shops . Could do with a blackout blind in main bedroom and knives could be sharper otherwise absolutely brilliant place . Love the little courtyard at back and was safe for our mini dachshund. Buxton is a lovely town and was able to do lots of walks from the house. Felt safe in these challenging times.
-
"Property lovely and clean."
Smaller in real life than the photos look but excellent as a base to visit Buxton and the Peak District. The property owners clearly take pride in the presentation of the property and there are lovely touches such as leaflets with ideas on what to do, a kitchen fully stocked with cleaning products, a dishwasher, clothes horse (no washing machine but good for drying hand washing) and even cookies, a bottle of wine and pint of milk on arrival - thank you! Owners very responsive too, they sorted out a minor issue very quickly for us. Great service, highly recommended hosts. Key collection procedure very straightforward too.
-
"We were delighted with the wine, milk, coffee and cookies ."
Thank you. Apart from the weather, we had a lovely stay! Great location for travelling to other areas too.
-
"The house was extremely cosy & comfortable."
It was a lovely short walk from the town. The only thing we felt it missing was a washing machine, as we were working at the theatre that week, we would have liked to have washed some clothes but that is very minor. Other than that the house was perfect!
-
"Lovely accommodation."
Clean, well equipped and welcoming little extras. Host very pleasant to communicate with. Thank you.
-
"Provisions were also left which was a nice gesture."
Also wine and chocolates. Lovely touch.
-
"Had a fabulous mid-week break."
Well stocked kitchen, milk, biscuits, tea, sugar, coffee and wine were a lovely gesture. Ground coffee and percolator also provided. Toiletries, plenty lovely clean, soft towels and bedding. Comfy beds. Well positioned with short walk to town centre. Would highly recommend this accommodation.
-
"Great location for food, drink, shops, and garage, the area is quite hilly so a good set of legs comes in handy, great scenery with lots of market towns nearby, In the property the stairs are a little to steep for people with leg problems, also the stair case ceiling height is a bit low."
other than that a lovely peaceful stay with good communication with the owners
-
"Lovely cosy accommodation which was incredibly well equipped."
The owners clearly go out of their way to make people feel welcome. The bedrooms were a good size and beds very comfortable. Having plenty of hot water when returning from a long days hike was wonderful. The house is perfectly positioned for exploring Buxton on foot, as well as for accessing the surrounding area of the Peak District by car. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
-
"The accommodation was very good - we particularly appreciated the milk etc."
It makes such a difference after a long drive. We also enjoyed the town - plenty to see and do, and a great choice of restaurants, all within walking distance.
-
"The house was lovely."
Val was very accommodating, as I had failed to tell her that we would like the bed set up as singles until the day of arrival, but she was happy to come and rearrange them. The house was spotless, all beds were very comfy, and the kitchen was well equipped. I would however recommend some black out blinds or some heavier curtains, as the current curtains are very thin and light.
-
"A lovely cottage in a ideal location minutes from the town."
This cottage was clean modern and all the added extras (towels, shower gel, tea, coffee, toilet rolls, milk etc) was very helpful for our stay. We stayed here over christmas and with all the kitchen essentials I was able to cook easily, it was home from home. Shower powerful, beds very comfy, house warm, welcoming lounge and even the nice touch of Xmas decorations. Thanks Jill
-
"The cottage was for 5 but only 4 dining and patio chairs."
On street parking was difficult at times. Very steep stairs with low headroom not mentioned in particulars. The positives outweighed the above. Very helpful giving us a later checkout. Could this flexibility be flagged up on the details.? Presentation and cleanliness were of a very high standard. Lovely touch with extras- wine, biscuits, tea, coffee, milk, shower gel.
-
"Lovely property, the bottle of wine, biscuits and milk tea and coffee was a lovely gesture and much appreciated."
-
"We had a great time The house was great So close to pubs and things to do"
-
"We have booked through sykes cottages before we enjoyed our sunday to friday break,"
-
"The holiday house was well furnished and spotlessly clean ."
Very comfortable beds and a nice patio with plants at the back. There was a more than adequate supply of household goods and the bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch. Lots of hot water. It was an easy walk to the town centre. The neighbourhood was very quiet. Well equipped kitchen. A downstairs loo would have made it perfect, but appreciate there is probably no space for this.
-
"This house is in a quiet central residential location within Buxton."
There is lots to do in and around Buxton & the Peaks, with a huge selection of lovely restaurants within walking distance from the house. The enclosed front & back garden was ideal for our small dog. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of storage space.

About the location
BUXTON
Tideswell 7 miles; Bakewell 12 miles; Matlock 21 miles.
It was the constant 28 degrees centigrade of the bubbling blue waters of Buxton's eight thermal springs that originally attracted the Romans to the town. However it was during the 18th and 19th centuries, under the patronage of successive Dukes of Devonshire, that the Palladian splendour of the Buxton of today was designed and built - including the magnificent semi-circular Crescent, The Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, The Pavilion Gardens and The Opera House. Today visitors continue to enjoy these magnificent buildings and gardens, as well as the Opera House's full programme and annual festivals of music and arts. There is good walking close by with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south and a number of pretty towns and villages are dotted throughout including Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton and Edale. The stunning properties of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are within easy driving distance and must be seen while visiting this area. A great base for exploring the Peak District.
