"A lovely well equipped cottage with beautiful views, and quiet location."
The extra items e.g. Tea bags, sugar, shampoo and shower gel were really nice. Might be a good idea to mention this so guests would not need to bring them. We did cook one meal during our stay but found the oven trays were past their best. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return. Thank you.

"The cottage was lovely, very clean warn and welcoming."
Had every facility in the kitchen you could think of. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, literally everything was supplied. The mattress where comfortable and the pillows ok (just a little soft- I ended up getting 2 more off another bed) The 2 biggest things for me where: 1. The blinds in the room need to be black out. Now we are in the summer and it's getting light at 4am the current blinds do not stop this. Unfortunately it woke us and the baby early every morning. Some black out blinds would be better. 2. The gate needs to be a little securer as even a large dog could get under this and escape out on to the busy main road. Luckily our dogs are pretty good and stayed in the garden. However I can see why previous guests have been concerned. However overall our stay has still been 5/5 we all had a lovely time (apart from the bad weather) and we would all highly recommend Wren Cottage.

"Lovely property."
Will be better still when next door is renovated. A property sign on the main road would also help.

"Beautiful cottage but not enough seating in the living room for six people."
Maybe put a two seater sofa under the stairs. It was very clean and well presented, had everything that you could need.
-
"Great cottage."
Very well equipped and with very generous welcome pack, toiletries, coffee pods (Tassimo) and logs. Perfect base for our holiday with friends. Some great walks including Mam Tor and Ladybower reservoir. Both village pubs lovely with good food. Garden even better than it looks in the listing - dogs loved it and great for sitting out when the weather improves!
-
"Lovely property in great location."
Clean and comfy and all home comforts provided
-
"We had a fabulous holiday at Wren Cottage."
The location was amazing with beautiful scenery and the added bonus of a cosy pub - The Junction Inn - just 5 minutes walk down the road, selling very tasty food. The cottage itself has all the amenities you could ask for, even a welcome basket and a fabulous coffee machine and pods. The rooms and beds are very cosy and comfortable with plenty of hangers to put your clothes on. The wood burner was very welcome during the chilly evenings. Hairdryers were also in most bedrooms, so no need to bring your own. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap are also in each bathroom. Wren Cottage was a very comfortable base with which to visit our northern family and we will definitely be back - thank you!

The cottage was great, well equipped, great location, very clean, thoughful well come pack and logs for the wood burner, local pubs made you feel very welcome

"Lovely cottage."
We had a great stay. All clean and cosy. Great pub within 2min walking distance from cottage “the junction.” The only thing is the garden. I can’t let my little dogs off the lead, so I couldn’t just let them out for a wee so had to put leads on every time they needed to go out. And with the gate next to main road there wasn’t any protection regarding safety for them.
-
"Wren Cottage is a great place for a break and location to explore the hills and surrounding sites."
We really enjoyed our stay and it really felt like a home from home and will definitely come back here again.
-
"The welcome pack was useful as our grocery delivery from Asda did not arrive until the next morning."
Comfortable beds and hot showers spacious lounge with room to play board games with the family . Kitchen was well equipped just needed a bigger pan for 6 people. Useful vacuum- even the 14 year old wanted to clean up . Central location for the regions we wanted to visit .
-
"The cottage was like a home away from home when we got together as an extended family."
There was everything we needed to be able to cook family meals and spend evenings in front of the fire playing games. The facilities were modern and very clean and tidy. Lots of special touches added to the comfort and style of the cottage. We would certainly recommend this property and intend to revisit in the future. Thank you!
-
"Very well kept beautiful farm cottage with a modern well equipped kitchen."
The living room has a welcoming log wood burner and has three good sized bedrooms with the master bedroom benefiting from a beautiful on suite. We didn’t get to use the dining room but is also a good size along with a very useful conservatory. This property has great views and the garden is equipped with a bbq table and chairs .
-
"We were very impressed with Wren cottage ."
Everything was perfect for us as a family of four generations .we were busy the whole weekend .the young ones enjoyed the board games in the evening.We would definately stay again if we had the opportunity
-
"A great place to stay: well located, easy access, lovely accommodation with a good range of facilities."
Would thoroughly recommend and if needing to stay in the area would have no reservation to return.
-
"We loved staying here !"
The location was perfect for us and the scenery was amazing to look at in the mornings . The house is clean and beautiful. Bed were comfortable to sleep in. Everything we were looking for! Definitely be staying again
-
"Probably the best equipped cottage we have had the pleasure of staying in."
Every little detail of being able to live like you're at home has been thought of. A stones throw away from a couple of cosy pubs that provide excellent food too. A real bonus
-
"Great cottage very nice owners would love to book again."
-
"Wren Cottage was perfect for our short break for 6."
The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the log burner and beds were very.comfy. would highly recommend a stay at here. Close to motorway links for easy access, but tucked away in a pretty village after a short drive over the moors. Great views all around.
-
"3 Generations of our family and 3 dogs spent a long weekend at Wren cottage."
The cottage was spacious, very comfortable and spotless. Nice touch to arrive to fresh milk and crumpet loaf. Junction pub a short walk down the hill was welcoming, had great beer and food, plus is dog friendly. We really enjoyed walking around the local reservoirs and coming home to relax in front of the log burner. Would highly recommend!
-
"Absolutely lovely cottage in a perfect location to explore the local area."
It was really well equipped and so comfortable with lovely personal touches throughout, including a welcome basket including local bread and milk. What can be better than watching sheep grazing and chickens pecking in the field outside your kitchen window. We had 3 dogs who were also catered for with dog towels and a perfect boot room where they slept. Great pub (The Junction) only 200 yards away serving great food. Highly recommend this cottage.
-
"We had a lovely time staying at Wren Cottage, Jenny was really helpful with any queries we had."
-
"Really nice cottage set in beautiful surroundings Host very good ."
Welcome basket really nice touch . Extra a nice touch sugar , drink machine which was stocked ice in freezer . We had a great stay and enjoyed the local area Local farm shop great I would definitely stay again and recommend it Thank you
-
"Lovely cottage set in a large garden on the edge of the village with lovely views onto the moors, 2 local dog friendly pubs within safe walking distance that served excellent food."
Local club was also welcoming to non members. Easy access from Motorway and only a short drive to the property. Well appointed kitchen with everything you needed to cook at home if needed, 2 large bedrooms ideal for couples, and a smaller double. We were 6 adults with 2 dogs and had plenty of room.
-
"A really nice cottage that was comfortable for 5 adults ( or 6) and set in an interesting garden with good views."
We visited during a hot spell so it was great to sit outside but there is plenty of space inside and the kitchen is well equipped for all levels of catering. The pub down the road (5 minutes walk) does excellent food as well. We hadn’t been to the Saddleworth area before but would come back again as there is plenty more to explore.
-
"Beautiful cottage with all the home comforts."
Lovely comfortable beds and excellent showers. We enjoyed exploring and walking in the local area, a couple of local pubs with excellent food. We would love to return.
-
"Lovely location, beautiful, well equipped cottage."
Very helpful owners, really enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend and give 10/10.
-
"A lovely property with excellent facilities."
Clean, comfortable and lots of room. Quirky layout with lots of character, alongside modern touches. Garden and bbq area lovely. Owners very friendly and helpful. Great family time had by all - thank you Wren Cottage
-
"Lovely cottage with some special touches, the owners have really thought about all the little extras."
A lovely position near moors and reservoirs really pretty area. The only downside is if you have a small dog like my escape artist - garden not fully secure.
-
"Amazing property inside and out."
Loved the garden, can't wait to use it more on our next visit. Owners left us be but where available when we needed them. Lovely and friendly owners and neighbours.
-
"Lovely cottage comfortable and clean had everything you needed except for a tea towel so don’t forget to take one."
There were 3 dogs with us and the owner unlocked the gate to the field at the top of the garden which was great for them to run around in. Lovely little welcome pack milk, butter and a few snacks. We had some lovely walks it was just a shame the weather turned bad for our last day. Definitely recommend and we would go back.
-
"Good location for seeing and walking around the reservoirs."
Great pub for food within 5 mins walk. Cottage spotlessly clean, warm, cosy and has everything you need. Good facilities for dogs. Very enjoyable stay.
-
"Nice house, lovely welcome pack, 2 things that disappointed us, although we asked for a cot, nobody came back until after we left to inform us that there was no mattress for the cot, when we asked if a mattress could be available, reply was that there were none locally for collection, we arrived and found one 5 miles away at Argos which we purchased within an hour of arrival."
Also the garden is not fully enclosed and if you have dogs be aware as the cottage very close to a busy A road.
-
"This has probably been the nicest cottage we've stayed in and we've stayed in a few in our time!"
The cottage facilities and amenities provided were absolutely superb and the location was just ideal for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely look to go back again which I think is testimony to how good it really is.
-
"Everything was provided for a break away, the cottage was very homely and comfortable, we didn't need to contact the owner although numbers were provided just in case."
The location was perfect for getting to the moors and the peaks. I Would highly recommend a stay at Wren Cottage, we as a family of 6 and 3 dogs throughly enjoyed our long weekend.
-
"What a find!"
Wren Cottage was perfect. The owners had thought of everything; from face and foot masks to board games and extra batteries for the wii remotes! The bedding was the softest we have ever slept on and the welcome basket was very much appreciated. We had such a refreshing break and will definitely be returning!
-
"This was a long-anticipated weekend away with our daughters, their partners and dogs so we were thrilled to find a beautiful cottage with everything we needed to make our reunion special."
The owners have thought of everything - including generous welcome provisions - and we all felt like we were checking into an upmarket hotel when we found our lovely bedrooms. There were lots of nice walks within a short drive, the Ram's Head farm shop was a perfect place to stock up on goodies and the local pub, The Junction Inn, was just a short walk away and a great place for drinks and pub food. The website photos really do not do full justice to this lovely property and we are already planning a return visit in the Spring. PS although we are regular Sykes customers, we actually booked this cottage via the Dog-Friendly Cottages site as it was the best way to find a property that would accommodate 3 dogs!
-
"We had a lovely stay, and the cottage was perfect - thank you!"
Everything was sparkling clean, the rooms were comfortable and the setting is gorgeous.
-
"A lovely sized cottage for 6 people albeit we were a family of four so was even better!"
- Upon arrival, the cottage was lovely and warm and welcoming. Very clean and a very pleasant surprise with the welcome pack. We could not fault the property in any way and would highly recommend this for a relaxing area to explore.
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage, we really appreciated our last minute booking and loved the boot room."
A few more mugs would have helped make better use of the dishwasher.
-
"Fab cottage, great hosts, we all enjoyed this break"
-
"We had a fabulous holiday, cottage facilities & location were great."
On the down side cleanliness of the kitchen utensils/crockery left a lot to be desired. Overall we had a great family holiday.
-
"Enjoyed our stay in this great, well equipped cottage - will definitely come again if in this part of the country !"
-
"We had a lovely stay at Wren Cottage and also took my mother (late 80s) and my sister plus my two dogs."
We all found the beds were very comfortable, linen was good quality and good bathrooms. Just about enough seating in the lounge but not if there were more than 4 of you. Fab utility, kitchen and dining areas. For us it would have been a really perfect location if there had been a secure part of the garden BUT sadly there were a number of gaps in the fencing and there is also a pretty busy moor road (where cars drive fast just behind the property although this didn't really bother us) which meant we had to keep the dogs on their leads 100% of the time. If this was sorted we would definitely return. It's a lovely location and a nice house.
-
"We had the most amazing time."
The property was perfect. The owners were so welcoming. Would highly recommend.
-
"This was a really nicely presented property."
the owners were lovely and made our stay very enjoyable.. Everything we needed was there, and we enjoyed the stay enormously. will definitely look to make use of the cottage in the future
-
"Our Wren cottage experience Excellent host, beautiful cottage and surroundings Ideal location for a chilled week away from the builders in our house Log burner in the living room & well stocked with timber for a very wet and windy week Welcome pack including a unexpected bottle of fizz, polished off in no time."
Local pub serving a fab Sunday roast and a food service all week Great local facilities and our host Karen and Jenny on hand with excellent examples of the local area Highly recommed staying at Wren cottage. Thanks again Jenny & Karen
-
"This cottage was absolutely beautiful home from home with everything to hand."
Views were stunning, location idyllic, lovely village with friendly people. A few footpaths were through farms were closed due to Covid but plenty if beautiful walks to explore x
-
"The cottage was like staying at a hotel with all the extras."
So clean and comfortable. Lovely setting. Brilliant local pub. Perfect week away.
-
"Beautiful cottage, it had everything you could need."
The welcome basket was such a lovely touch. The beds were so comfortable and there were loads of towels. Uppermill which is close by has lots of lovely places to eat.
-
"The location was great, well equipped cottage with a few added extras for instance hair dryers."
Also ample wood for the log burner as with previous cottages you only had one bag but NOT here! The gas BBQ was great. All in all we had a fab time and the boot room was great to have with the pooch, boots and coats
-
"Welcoming, spacious, comfortable cottage which was just perfect for a family of 3 generations to share in a week of very inclement weather!"
-
"So well equipped."
Lovely views too.
-
"The overall cottage experience was fantastic and we had a great time."
The only small downside was that the garden was not secure for the dogs so we had to keep them on the lead...but that was minor as overall we could not fault the cottage. Thanks
-
"Beautiful venue."
Well equipped cottage with some lovely extra touches. Fantastic stay all round.
-
"Our last minute cancellation of another property was dealt with really quickly and effectively."
We were told this cottage was available and it was great not having to worry about refunds and paying again, Sykes managed everything behind the scenes. The cottage itself was beautiful, everything was a really high standard and so comfortable. It was equipped with everything you could need (especially in the kitchen which was perfect for us as we all love to cook). Location was also perfect for a long weekend away. We walked to the nearby pub for lunch and drove over to Dovestones Reservoir for a hike. Would highly recommend. Shame the weather wasn't better as we also spotted a huge BBQ in the lovely little garden which we would've loved to use, maybe next time!

Delight in walks around Dovestone Reservoir, where an easy access path guides you along the waters, stopping on the way at Chew Brook to explore the rocks and dip your toes in the running stream, with two further reservoirs, Greenfield and Yeoman Hay, to explore you can extend your walk however much you like. As well as wildlife spotting, horse riding, climbing and its own sailing club here too, you are sure to find something for every taste. Head into the heart of the Peaks and incorporate Howden Dam into a ramble, or get to know the luscious landscape of Snake Woodland. Take a day trip into Manchester, home of the Palace Theatre, the National Football Museum, and the Manchester Art Gallery, just some of the wonderful places you can enjoy while you visit, amidst the wide array of astounding restaurants and cafés here too.
