What our customers say about their holidays

  We have just returned from our 3 night stay in the Kennedy Cottage, for a girlie few days away before school returns.

  There was myself, my mum and my two daughters aged 12 & 10 . Upon arrival, the accommodation was extremely clean and well maintained, everything looked new, we had a welcome basket comprising of 4 pints of milk, bread, crisps, coffee pods and biscuits which was a lovely gesture. There was also a lot of necessities that you don't always find in holiday accommodation, such as washing up liquid, coffee, tea and sugar, tea towels, dishcloths, salt and pepper etc which was also nice to see. There was ample amounts of crockery and cutlery, which makes a nice change and all of these appeared new too. There were plenty of towels for us all, and these were super soft and smelt lovely, the shower was powerful and was lovely to use. In the living room, there was board games which we made very good use of, and the girls thoroughly enjoyed playing these, there was monopoly, Cluedo, uno and others, again these all appeared new. You get a parking permit for Derbyshire Dales car parks, the closest of these is just across the road, this permit allows you to park from 16:00 - 11.00 for free, but spaces are limited. The accommodation is ideally located to access a lot that Derbyshire has to offer. The only downside for us was the beds, I can only put this down to these also being new and not being "bedded" in, however this was a huge thing for us, so much so, that we had to cut our holiday short as we barely slept at all. In the master bedroom, the bed is made up of two singles, but both myself and my 10 year old tossed and turned all night, the curtains at the rear of the property don't completely block the light and as such the two huge security lights at the back of the property, light the bedroom up like the illuminations, the bed in the room next to the master was bearable, if they were all like this, we could have managed, but the bed on the first floor was so hard. This was a huge shame as the rest of the property was perfect, just what we wanted, but the lack of sleep due to the beds, made the length of our stay impossible.

  Lacewood, as part of a complex, ongoing refurbishment of an historic sawmill, is a truly wonderful, delightful and sublimely comfortable retreat.

  Situated just outside a little village (with a couple of small shops, eateries and pub) it is ideally located for complete enjoyment of the Peaks and Dales that spill over into 3 counties: Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. Lots of awesome walks, cycle rides, or drives with stunning scenery at every turn from the front door. The lovely hosts at the sawmill are welcoming and generous - they have gone above and beyond to make their home and ‘labour of love‘ refurbishment project an exceptional holiday location for couples who are searching for that little bit of extra something. The accommodations are stunningly crafted, furnished and equipped. A few generous treats to start our break were gratefully accepted. My first booking here was for a 4night/long weekend in mid autumn - I’d definitely return again. Thank you so very much Phillip and Shirley

  Our hosts, Phillip, Shirley and Gemma were extremely welcoming and helpful.

  The apartment was in immaculate condition for our arrival and all equipment, furnishings, towels and bedding were of a very high standard. Phillip’s superb joinery skills were in evidence throughout and we look forward to returning in the future to see progress on the remaining apartments. This was an apartment where we immediately felt at home and comfortable; attention to detail was a particular bonus, with lots of useful extra touches and a very welcome starter pack of milk, bread, eggs, a bottle of wine, etc. Gemma had obviously put a great deal of consideration into the smaller details which make a rental property feel like a home. Longnor itself is a few minutes walk away and has the advantage of a couple of shops for basic provisions.

  Very much enjoyed our stay.

  The apartment was scrupulously clean, which was reassuring during covid times. There was a thoughtful welcome gift in the form of wine and chocolates which after a dreadful journey up the M5 and M6 was very much welcomed on arrival. Everything is just as pictured with all necessities provided, excepting a washing machine. The weather during our stay was muggy and the aircon provided was essential and made things comfortable as the flat doesn't have much in the way of natural ventilation. There are quite a few stairs but this is clearly shown in the pictures and they are not difficult or awkward to climb. Ideally situated within a stone's throw of some nice cafes and pubs. I would thoroughly recommend this lovely apartment.

  The property is finished to a good standard and the facilities are excellent.

  The property information emails sent by the owner and Sykes are very helpful. However the access via a low door way and very steep staircase is a problem. There needs to be a warning sign for restricted head height on the entry door to the main building. I cut my head on the door frame. The property would benefit from secondary glazing in the living room as there is a lot of road noise. The beebing from the zebra crossing is very annoying. The double bed was very uncomfortable, the glass shelf over the bathroom sink is dangerous and should be removed. It is very difficult to wash you face without banging your head. Despite these issues we still enjoyed our visit.
