Sycamore Cottage Reviews

Tracey

Lovely stay at Sycamore Cottage. Beautiful views from the hot tub and lovely quiet village location. Good Communication with the host Ellie. Cottage was lovely and warm and very clean.

Joanne

The cottage and location were perfect for us. It was very cozy and we made use of the hot tub and log burner. The pubs and shops were a 15 minute drive away, but we didn't mind as it gave us a chance to explore the area. We had a fantastic and relaxing time and would love to return again.

Beverley

Amazing cottage , comfortable, warm & spotlessly clean. We have had the most relaxing holiday. Thank you so much Ellie for sorting out the coffee machine & most of all for ordering the beautiful snow. It was magical ! Ian & Bev

The cottage is very clean, comfortable, decorated very tastefully and in an excellent walking area. We enjoyed using the hot tub and communication with Ellie was very good. The only thing that could be improved is the limited supply of crockery, in particular plates, and utensils. We are keen on cooking good meals on holiday and used the nearby farm shop for supplies. There is a dishwasher in the cottage but unless one runs it 13 full, you do a lot of hand washing in between.

Christopher

The cottage was stunning and beautifully furnished and kitted out.

Rachel

Beautiful location and lovely views from the hot tub. Quiet village and lots of walks from the door. Well equipped and possibly the cleanest cottage we've ever stayed in!

Rebecca

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Sycamore Cottage to visit nearby Alton Towers for a couple of days. We normally stay in nearby budget hotels but decided to treat ourselves this visit and so glad we did. Thankfully when looking for a home to stay in, Sycamore Cottage had left the 3 nights we were looking for as we had already prebooked park tickets. The home is very clean and spacious for 4 people we even left Alton Towers early on our second day to enjoy more time in the cottage! Absolutely beautiful views of the area. We couldn't find matches to light the fire and contacted the owner, Ellie, and said we wouldn't worry if there weren't any available as quite a drive to a local shop. Ellie very kindly brought some matches and kindling to us so we had an evening of card games with the warm fire. Would definitely return it's about a 13 minute drive to Alton Towers if you're planning to visit.

Gorgeous cottage, very well presented. Beds softer than I would choose but we actually slept very well. Instant hot water and great showers. Beautiful views and fantastic hot tub. Great location. Very quiet, lovely spacious enclosed sunny garden.

Excellent accommodation for 4 people. The owner was attentive but not intrusive ensuring everything was kept perfect throughout our stay. The setting is beautiful and so much to explore in the local area. Highly recommend a visit to Dovedale just a couple of miles away. Thank you

Fantastic cottage, fantastic location, fantastic holiday! What a dream to stay at Sycamore Cottage, everything was just perfect for our family. Beautifully presented and very clean and tidy in a very peaceful location. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner who went out of her way to make our stay so perfect. We highly recommend Sycamore Cottage.

Simply the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. Everything from start to finish was excellent. We stayed with some friends and both parties thought it was a great home from home in a gorgeous setting with great facilities. We were lucky enough to meet the owner who was lovely and all in all it was a terrific time away. Definitely recommend the company in general and this cottage in particular.

Would suggest safety hand rails at the top landing going towards the bedrooms and bathroom. Also, safety mat in showers. One of the best fitted out kitchen we have stayed in at a Sykes cottage.

Fantastic, beautifully clean. The best we have ever had over many years using Sykes. The beds , awesome sleep in wonderful presented rooms. Both of the bathrooms are so well appointed. So lovely to have rain Showers in both of the bathroom after exploring & walking the beautiful landscape. Kitchen is home from home.. .everything you could want was thought of. The wonderful garden which has the Hot tub around the rear of the cottage where it will make the most of the wonderful scenery. Ellie the owner of the tre.mendous home on the hill is so lovely. Overall is 100 fantastic & so we shall return just as soon as she has a vacancy..

Sycamore Cottage was an excellent base for our holiday. On wet , chilly days it provided a warm welcome on our return from days out.

Super clean cottage in a tiny little village. We loved the hot tub and the views over the rolling hillsides! Absolute peace and quiet! The cottage is fully equipped and we can't think of anything that was missing. If you get the chance to meet the lovely Ellie the owner, ask about the cottage's history ........ fascinating! A super place to stay. Highly recommended !!!

This beautiful cottage set in marvellous countryside is immaculately presented and very homely. The beds are extremely comfortable and visitors will want for nothing. The garden is spacious and lovely. We cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Sycamore Cottage is the perfect place to get away and relax. The cottage had everything we needed and more, it was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated and furnished. The hot tub and stunning views were a definite highlight. Ellie and Matt were amazing in answering any questions we had before arrival and couldnt have done more for us during our stay, I have no hesitations in recommending this cottage for a relaxing break. Thank you x

Nicola

We have stayed on lots of holiday rentals but my husband and I agree that this was far and away the best thus far. The house was warm, homely, sparkly clean, had literally everything you could have wanted, everything worked!

Without doubt one of the nicest cottages weve ever stayed in. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable lovely and warm with spectacular views from every window. And despite the weather, the addition of the hot tub was very welcoming after a long walk. The location was perfect for exploring the Peak District with numerous walks close by. It was also nice to meet the owner Ellie who was walking her doggy, We will definitely be booking again and would highly recommend this property. Excellent value for money.

Sycamore cottage is a very special experience in cottage holidays! Everything was perfect ! The cleanliness, the contents, the location, the peacefulness of the surroundings, the easy access to Ashbourne, we could not recommend this cottage enough... 5 stars doesn't say it !

Claire

Yet another really enjoyable and relaxing stay at Sycamore Cottage. Great location for short and long walks. Very well appointed, everything you need is provided. We love the quiet location and great hot tub. Sit back and look at the stars! Bliss. Thank you Ellie and Matt.

We had such a lovely stay at Sycamore Cottage. Perfect location, gorgeous property. We will definitely be back.

Russell

An outstanding cottage. Absolutely perfect. We had a short stay away and the location and setting is stunning. The cottage is so well laid out, modern and with everything you need. So comfortable and clean. The views from the hot tub are really nice. We had a lovely little welcome pack waiting for us. The owners are really lovely and sent us a nice email before we visited with a welcome pack of information. We will definitely be visiting again.

Sycamore cottage is a lovely, cosy cottage , especially on a winters day when the snow is falling and the log fire burning . with every thing you requre just perfect .

Emailed the owner as we left to say what a lovely holiday cottage it is .

A brilliant and beautiful cottage! In a really nice location. The owners where brilliant and answered any and all questions that I had. They even decorated the inside for a birthday that we where going away for after I asked them and sent the decorating to them. Truly beautiful and will be revisiting in the summer time.

We had a great stay in this cottage The only two things I would say is no ... We had a great stay in this cottage The only two things I would say is no toilet roll holder in the bathrooms so you had to either turn around to the back of the toilet or put it on the binsink Also there were no placemats for the dining room table which we found strange However all in all it was a beautiful setting and cottage and we would stay here again

Christine

Absolutely stunning house and views. Hot tub fantastic ...looking at the views with the sheep! Had a great week, just wished for longer.... Owner's very friendly and helpful, lovely welcome pack Thank you Christine x

Nichola

Sycamore Cottage was lovely and clean and warm. The cottage is perfect for 2 couples with 2 really good sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The welcome pack was really appreciated.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sycamore cottage. The cottage had everything we needed, comfy beds, comfy sofas, well equipped kitchen, and the hot tub! The owner was easy to contact, and kept us informed about local road closures which was nice when you are not local. All in all could not fault the holiday.

Lovely cottage and garden, well equipped and maintained. Outside seating could be improved to accommodate four people.

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay at Sycamore Cottage. The property itself is immaculate, very clean and decorated to a good style with some quirky decorative pieces. There is one main route to the cottage on country lanes from the main road so it is easy to get to, although coming from the Ashbourne end the country lane is very narrow and was a little bit much for me so we always choose the other route past the farm shop, which only added about a minute to the journey and less stressful for me! The hot tub was great and the views were simply amazing, looking out over the Derbyshire Dales with some lovely sheep grazing in the field next door. Ellie, the owner, was brilliant. Very easy to communicate with and so helpful. We had one slight issue with the hot tub but she had it sorted for us straight away. The area is great for all ages. We stayed with our two children 5 and 7 and there was loads to do with them but we could have easily kept ourselves occupied with lots of small villages to explore and loads of walking routes. With the children we took them to Peak Wildlife Park and Splash Landings waterpark, both a little pricey but we spent the whole day there. We also spent the day in Ashbourne, and at Carsington Water, which was great. We went a little further afield and had a trip to the car museum for the husband! and another trip for the children at Conkers, which is an outside activity centre. We had hoped to get to Bakewell and Chatsworth House but just ran out of time! All in all, a brilliant week with a very comfortable cottage to come back to. We would happily return. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Charlotte

What a beautiful property in such a scenic location! The owners were very accommodating and were very responsive to questions we had prior to our stay. They also kept us updated about wifi issues in the area during our visit which we really appreciated. Thank you so much for the welcome pack. It was such a lovely touch and our daughters loved their treats too! The cottage was well equipped especially in the kitchen but we would have appreciated a brush and pan to clean the floor. Overall the property was cleaned to a good standard however, there were a few little bits on the floor particularly in kitchen, upstairs bathroom and dining room which wasn't ideal for a crawling baby. We loved spending time in the garden and in the hot tub surrounded by the beautiful countryside. It was lovely seeing the sheep through the kitchen window! We also enjoyed relaxing by the wood burning stove in the evenings and playing the board games. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A beautiful stay in a lovely location. Lots of thought has been put in to ensure you have everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub overlooking the hills and fields is a great place to unwind after a day out exploring the local area.

Trevor

Were frequent renters of self catering accommodation and can honestly say that this is best equipped cottage that weve ever stayed in. It had everything that we needed and more. The photos are a great representation of what youll see in the house but what you cant see are the additional amenities filling the cupboards and drawers the amazing welcome pack, the fresh flowers, sturdy pans and cooking equipment, the wide range of utensils, quality sharp knives for food prep, sufficient cleaning products for our stay, an air fryer, enough glassware for a party, proper wooden coat hangers, magnifying mirrors in the bathroomsI could go on and on! The accommodation was perfect for two couples travelling together and I liked being able to choose the arrangement for the beds. From making my reservation and throughout our stay there was easy contact with the owners, something that I always find reassuring. The area is very peaceful and the views are truly beautiful. Highly recommended.
