The Dairy Reviews

The dairy was a fabulous place to stay. Clean warm and welcoming. The hot tub was great too. Would recommend.

Elaine

The family stay was enjoyed by all of us from age 19 to 74 we couldn't fault any thing. Lovely setting ,warm, clean, and everything you could possibly need.

Tasnim

Property was lovely and spacious. Hot tub outside was excellent. Only issue was the second slab near the wood burner which was coming in the way as people passed along to come to the dinningkitchen area. one of us tripped twice.Otherwise it was a enjoyable holiday.

Plenty of room. Comfy beds, large dining kitchen area. Fantastic views and close enough to amenities. Maybe switch around the table and sofa chairs in the dining area if possible. Great holiday

What a beautiful property in a stunning location. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Carry

Rosemary

Overall we had a lovely holiday. The property is in wonderful countryside with fantastic walks on the doorstep. Vicky was very helpful and gave us lots of information on the area. The dairy and annexe are very well equipped and we appreciated all the maps provided. The beds were comfy but the pillows are very bulky and firm, so bring your own if you prefer soft pillows! There are a couple of laminated information sheets but a comprehensive house file is needed for detailed information about how things work in the house, where to find things, nearest shops etc. We had a few plumbing issues which meant three of the showers were out of action. The maintenance man came twice but seemed unable to fix them during our stay.

A great weekend break in The Dairy. Terrific location and a very wellequipped and well maintained property. Would certainly recommend. A few minor points for the owners we have had a holiday rental on various sites for 25 years. Price seemed to be topend at 1900 and the other properties at Lowfield Farm were not occupied, so flexible pricing might help with occupancy numbers. A Book of the House would be a really useful addition with how everything works, local facilities, public footpaths etc in one place. The laminates were ok, but not comprehensive e.g. told to switch off hot tub, but not where we worked it out, but better written down. How to switch off outside lights ? On a timer, but on all night ? Couldn't find ovengloves ? Sure they must have been there somewhere. Missed the instruction to strip bed linen and place in bathroom laundry bags would help, and save servicing time. Wooden garden furniture showing its age. Hope this helps. We intend to be back as it was a memorable place to visit, and Youlgrave is a great village to hang out in.

Thank you so much for a fantastic stay! We had an amazing time. The house, the weather and seeing the northern lights made it a very special birthday weekend. The house was fully equipped, clean and comfortable. The hot tub was amazing and enjoyed by everyone. The house was perfect for a big family get together. General enquiries were responded to very quickly and Vicky went above and beyond! Thank you so much. We will be back!

We went as a family and had a wonderful time. The location itself is perfect and the property exceeded all of our expectations. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a family gettogether or a holiday.

The Dairy and Annex were wonderful and we reqlly enjoyed our stay. The only comment we had is the layout of the living area in the Dairy. Whilst the old church pew is lovely, it dominates the room and restricts the living area for a large group. We ended up turning the dining table around and moving the setties into 2 halves to create more of a social ushape seating area around the fire, but this was obstructed by the pew. A shorter bench seatpew for the dining table, allowing a cshape settee area would be much more sociable for groups of 10, which isbwhat the cottage caters for. This was the only downside for a large group, everything else was perfect and our 6 group dogs loved the garden and house. The walks from the property are fab and we did several. A great place to stay with friends.

Evelyn

We had a wonderful stay in The Dairy with all the family to celebrate my husband and my 60th birthdays. The accommodation was perfect. Very clean. Lots of space for all of us.The kitchen was so well stocked. Each bedroom and bathroom were beautiful.The cosy cottage next door proved to be very useful as an 'overflow' for fridge space etc as well as additional livingsleeping space. The location and surrounding area were amazing, even in wet weather! And the welcome pack is always a bonus. The Dairy is ideal for a large group of people.

Dipesh

Ben was such a lovely host and the accommodation is outstanding. There were 8 of us and we all had a bed. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

If you are thinking far from the madding crowd, this is the place for you. Technology even for our adult children took second place to the idyllic surroundings including from out hot tub!!. Any minor niggles were quickly dealt with by the caretaker and don't worry if you collect bottles and recycling, these are collected routinely or with just a message. I couldn't complete this message without mention of the single line access to the property which we got stuck in and had to reverse on an upward incline irritating initially but adapted by sending out a recce' team. Minor inconvenience for the pleasure of being here. In all, we loved this place, its character, the amenities and the surroundings.

The Dairy was perfect for our large family group of 9 adults, two children and a dog. I had messaged David prior to arriving and he had confirmed stair gates bottom and top of stairs high chair and travel cot. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and crockery and the open plan kitchendininglounge worked well for us. One point of note for the owners a washing line somewhere in the garden would have been useful as we had to drape washing over garden chairs and tables noticed that farmhouse had a rotary line. Access to the property can be a bit tricky, especially if meeting a car coming in opposite direction. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a brilliant week in the Dairy. Everything was wonderful. Thanks to David for his help

This was the perfect holiday accommodation for our family gathering to celebrate a 'big birthday'. Ages ranged from 3 to 75, and we had everything we wanted. The views from the hottub were stunning, and the hot tub itself was hugely popular as the weather was cool, windy and wet! Plenty of space indoors too, and the charging point for our car was a great bonus.

Angela

Had a lovely family stay at the dairy. It is set in a beautiful location and all rooms in the property were lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and the log fire and hot tub enhanced a wonderful relaxing holiday. Dave the caretaker was on hand and very helpful for any queries. Would definitely stay here again for a big family gathering.

We stayed at The Dairy the first weekend in March. We were three families getting together to celebrate a birthday. We had a fabulous stay. The Diary is located in a beautiful part of the Peak District with a waking route on the doorstep. The Dairy has five lovely bedrooms, all ensuite which was perfect for our families. The open plan kitchen, dining and seating area was warm and cosy and very well equipped. We had some lovely meals sitting round the large table after a hearty walk. The hot tub was definitely a hit with everyone especially as it looks out across the valley. Would love to come back, explore the area more and stay at the dairy again .

We had a wonderful 3 generation Christmas stay at The Dairy. We thoroughly enjoyed all the extensive facilities including the hot tub and the caretaker was very helpful. We would highly recommend. Thank you!

We had a fabulous weekend at the Dairy, the property with its additional self contained cottage really fulfilled the needs of our party. The log burner with constant supply of wood was brilliant and the overall highlight of the property for us was definitely the hot tub which was well used by all. A special mention to David the caretaker who answered calls over the weekend to answer a couple af questions we had and kept us topped up with firewood!

Eleanor

Sykes emailed to say you found my credit card. I replied but got an automated response saying the email's not monitored please destroy the card and i will order another. Thank you.

We had an amazing stay, we were a big group of friends with children and had everything at our disposal for a wonderful stay. The hot tub was especially popular!

Great location, excellent full 5 bedroom, 10 person accommodation with individual ensuite facilities

Izabela

Beautiful stay snd wonderful property.
