• "We had a lovely stay at Sycamore Cottage."

  Very clean and had everything you need. Best welcome basket we have had so far. Fantastic views from all the main rooms. Very comfortable bed and nice shower, plenty of towels. Would recommend the Darley Dale Fish and Chip shop, but be warned; the large chips would feed 4. M&S foodhall, Sainsbury’s & Co-Op not far. For a lovely walk in woods with waterfalls & a small dam, turn left out of the cottage and keep walking to the end of Holt Road, our dog loved it. Thank you, Heidi, David and Ralphy.

• "Another lovely week."

  Standard of cleanliness as always very good and very comfortable. If we could have had the weather that was forecast it would have been perfect but all in all a really lovely relaxing week.

• "We had a lovely time."

  The cottage was well appointed, though as per the description, there were a lot of stairs! A delicious welcome basket was enjoyed through the week. Small household needs were fixed quickly, via text message.

• "Having recently stayed in a cottage in another part of the country and being distinctly underwhelmed, Sycamore Cottage was an instant hit as soon as we walked in the door."

  Location was superb, with parking on the road out the front. And the view from the back of the house...........Wow!!!!!! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a lovely welcome hamper with nice bits and pieces inside, which was nice. As we explored the house, it was clear that the owners took great care and pride in their property, as it was all immaculately clean and everything well maintained. The cottage is located on the side of a hill which affords the spectacular views, but is not isolated and you are near all the amenities that Matlock provides. But once inside, it was lovely to settle in front of the wood burner and relax. Due to the nature of its location, the only thing I would mention is that access for the less mobile will be an issue, with lots of steep stairs to negotiate. That is the only thing I can think of that could be construed as a negative. The cottage is located within a stones throw of Matlock which has everything you need, but also is minutes away from being out in the wilderness with all the walks. Bakewell and Buxton are just up the road too. Unfortunately, due to family emergency, I had to leave 2 days early and my wife the day after so we didn't get to enjoy this wonderful cottage to the full, but we would definitely love to come back. This place is a credit to the owners and the owners of the last cottage that we stayed at would do well to try to emulate standards like they are here. All in all, a wonderful place to base yourself if you are in this neck of the woods.

• "Another lovely week."

  Really warm comfortable place to stay. Bed is really comfortable. 3rd visit and looking to book again. Having stayed in quite a few cottages Miny and David have gone the extra mile to provide everything you could need, including a very generous starter bundle of goodies. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend.

• "We loved our time at Sycamore Cottage - it exceeded our expectations."

  It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and warm. Miny had clearly taken a lot of care in setting up the cottage, with every need catered for, and she provided a very generous welcome basket. Having the deck was fab, we wrapped up and spent time outside looking at the big sky (in February!). There are fab views from practically every window. Chatsworth and the wilder Peaks were in easy reach. Excellent VFM and highly recommended.

• "This was a superb last minute find for Xmas."

  The cottage is a real gem! Great location, superb views. Praise to the owners - the property has everything one could think of to make ones stay comfortable & the welcome pack was a real surprise! Our stay was taken during very bad stormy weather but we enjoyed everything the cottage had to offer - a good sized dining/entertaining kitchen, & a cosy lounge. Took advantage of lovely walks in the area when the sun appeared - would like to return in the spring/summer when one could enjoy the outdoor spaces more. Many thanks to Miny, plus, Peaches loved watching the birds soaring in the sky.

  Spotlessly clean, cosy, comfortable and well equipped with all the little details thought out, with everything we needed and more.

• "A beautifully presented, clean and very comfortable holiday cottage."

  Very well equipped - good range of kitchen cooking equipment and appliances, supplies of pet towels, bowls and treats if required and a comfortable, spacious lounge with logs for the fire. The decked terrace off the lounge is a lovely place to sit if you get some sunshine. Bedrooms are both well presented with lovely bed linen, fluffy towels and stunning views across the valley. Would highly recommended a stay in Sycamore Cottage.

• "Very comfortable cottage in a great position with a lovely view."

  The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with and had thought of everything you might need when you are away. The cottage had good saucepans and cooking equipment (unlike a lot of places we have stayed!) so we were able to cook our own meals.

  Miny, the owner was lovely. She left a very generous starter pack of treats. Property so lovely and comfortable. Been twice this year and looking forward to coming back hopefully next year. We have stayed in a number of self catering properties and this is definitely one of the nicest we have stayed in as far as comfort and cleanliness.

• "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sycamore Cottage."

  The extra touches were very welcome as was the welcome pack which was the best we have ever had. We could always get parked outside the cottage. You need to wave your hand at the light outside and it will come on for the steps, which were no problem with good rails. The steps are steep inside but also have good rails. Beds are very comfy. The view is magnificent, better than in the photos, if you get the weather. Contact with Miny was v. good, before and after visit. Would definitely recommend.

• "We had a great time staying here , so many places to visit near by it’s a great base for the area."

  The house had everything we needed and more and the welcome package was very thoughtful . The house is clean and the view’s amazing. The kitchen is well equipped and I feel everything has been thought of. Parking was ok and majority of the time we got parked right outside the property. We did walk down to the shop and chip shop but it is about 20 min away and longer coming back because it’s quite a steep climb (we are from the fens so not much in the way of hills here

• "We’ve had such a lovely break in this wonderful cottage."

  It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views from the cottage are outstanding whilst enjoying a glass of wine on an evening. The beds are so comfortable I haven’t slept as well in ages. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog but please bear in mind there are some additional steps down to the garden but these shouldn’t bother you. The additional complimentary items and gifts were so welcome & what a lovely thought & jesture from the owner Miny. All in all we’ve had a fabulous stay at Sycamore cottage & wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Ideal for visiting Bakewell, Matlock, Dove dale stepping stones the list is endless. You won’t be disappointed

  From an amazing welcome pack for both people and dog to supplying over and above for visitors needs in the house. It was clean and tidy, they have a very comprehensive booklet with full info on how to use the house gadgets and great local walks. I found the neighbours friendly and helpful too. I'd definitely recommend a visit here.

• "Comfortable well-equipped cottage in a quiet hillside location with stunning views."

  The balcony provides a great place to relax in the sun. Living in a bungalow it took a while to adjust to the steep stairs. Great location for Bakewell, Haddon Hall, Chatsworth, Lea Gardens for colourful rhododenrons, Eyam for history of the Bubonic plague. We found plenty to do and see in this area and enyoyed our stay in this delightful cottage.

• "Really lovely place."

  The views from all the rooms are beautiful. It was lovely no matter where we were we had a beautiful view to look at. It was also really comfortable and warm. The owner, Miny is really welcoming, I got a text as soon as I booked stating that if I had any special requirements to let her know. Never had that before and thought it a nice touch. She was also very accommodating when we could not leave at scheduled time due to snow. You know you are in a good place when half way through the holiday you are looking to see when you can come again. Highly recommend. Only extra advisory I would give are stairs inside are very steep and I wondered if it would be a problem with my long covid but slow and steady and I was fine.

  It was cosy but spacious, with the added luxury of the balcony terrace off the lounge. The attention to detail in the cottage by the owners, was much appreciated, especially the welcome pack! The enclosed garden was perfect for our Cocker Spaniel, he loved it, with walks from the door too. The icing on the cake though were the stunning views from all the rooms in the cottage. We have fallen in love with Sycamore Cottage and will definitely be back for a return visit. Thank you Miny and David, my son and I have had a wonderful week end.

• "We’ve had a wonderful stay at Sycamore Cottage."

  We’ve never had a stay where there has been so much thought and kindness put in with all the extras. The care package (including fridge goodies) fans for the heat, tissues, kitchen equipment and extras like tin foil, wipes and coffee for their machine and little things you might have forgotten like toothbrushes etc we’re fantastic. The view from the property is amazing and like others have said you want to just stay there enjoying it and the amazing comfy beds but there is so much much to see and do (Matlock, Matlock Bath, Chatsworth, Heights of Abraham, Gulliver’s Kingdom, Hardwick National Trust …. I could go on!) but it was so lovely to head back to Sycamore Cottage after a day out and enjoy the stunning view or gorgeous fire on the odd day we had rain. Thank you again for a lovely stay!
