  We stayed at Holly Cottage to avoid the stress and inconvenience whilst out kitchen was being removed prior to a refit.

  It was certainly a relaxing place to stay: clean, warm, cosy, thoughtfully furnished and well equipped. A few complimentary items made us feel very welcome. The location was wonderful - but then we knew that as we live quite nearly. There are some great walks right from the door. Our stay was in November but in warmer weather, the outside space would be very nice. A couple of negatives: the 4G Popup was very poor. If you wanted to do some work which relied on the internet, it wouldn’t be suitable. Also a very poor phone signal (at least on O2) meant you couldn’t contact others - including the owners if necessary - from the cottage itself. Not a problem if you really want to get away from it all. As for the kitchen area, there was very little storage space for food. The fridge was tiny, with a small freezer area and the drawers and cupboards were all full. There were no instructions for the appliances so using the cooker and microwave involved guesswork. Although we didn’t use them, I imagine the same applies to the dishwasher and washing machine. This last issue could easily be rectified. In spite of these issues, we would definitely recommend this lovely cottage for a peaceful and comfortable retreat.

  Peaceful location close to the reservoir.

  Holly Cottage is one of 4 high end old saw mill conversions. Really nicely appointed, very private and lounge window looks out on garden and woods. It’s a lovely place to spend a relaxing holiday. Very secure, access is through electric gates, beautiful walks literally on the door step. It’s a car journey to the pub, however loads of great pubs in the area and most are dog friendly. Low and High Bradfield a short drive away, we’ll worth a visit. Lunchtime special in the Plough £6.50 and they serve Bradfield beer. The only thing I didn’t like was it’s got an adjoining door with Oak cottage, open if you book both cottages. You could just hear the neighbours through the door if they had the tv on too loud. It is mentioned in the description and probably a great feature for 2 families holidaying together. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would book again. High standards again from Sykes Cottages.

  Stone farm cottage is like a home from home, it has everything you need for a comfy stay.

  Great size bedrooms and comfortable beds. Very well equipped kitchen and a secure garden surrounded by beautiful scenery. The cottage is located on a working farm which is such an added bonus, so many animals and the owners are more than happy to take you around to see them. As we stayed during lambing season we got to see the baby lambs, some just a few hours old, an amazing experience and brilliant if you bring children, they will love seeing all the animals! Really loved staying here and cannot thank the owners enough, very friendly hard working family, always happy to help with anything you need or take the time out to speak with you. Excellent hosts. We received a very warm welcome and a friendly good bye. I will certainly recommend to family and friends and will definitely be booking to come back again.

  Stone Farm was brilliant!

  We were lucky with the sunshine and they had lots of lambs and some 3 day old piglets which were so cute! Rachel, Richard and Hunter were all so friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. We (with grandsons) collected eggs from the chickens and ducks. The cottage was warm and cosy, clean and bright. The garden is a lovely spot to watch the horses and all the animals from and to see the sunset. Although it’s a working farm it was actually very tranquil and relaxing. Oh, and the sausages for breakfast, delivered to our door, were the best I’ve ever had. We are also looking forward to our lamb shanks which we brought home! We will definitely go back to stay. Many thanks to Rachel and family. Keep on peddling Hunter!

  This is our second stay at these lovely cottages.

  We stayed at Chestnut Cottage in October 2021. The cottages are really elegant and comfortable in a delightful and peaceful location. Great for local walks and also a good base for exploring the rest of the peak district. Three local supermarkets in Stocksbridge make self catering very easy. Holly cottage is the smallest (we were late making our booking this year) but is still more than adequate and once again we had a delightful stay. I should have reviewed Chestnut Cottage last October. It would have got 5 stars across the board, but our beloved German Shephard (Scooby) passed away a couple of days after our return and I couldn't think about the holiday at the time as it was too raw. Belated thank you to the owners for our wonderful stay last year.
