Sycamore Cottage Reviews

There were a few key features that were overlooked. The narrow entrance. Parking for 1 car not 2 unless you include parking on the lawn The accessibility difficulties the uneven, sloping drive with 2 stone steps no handrail down to the property & the internal steps up to bedrooms & bathroom also with no handrails. Our disabilities are mild and we managed to get by without incident, but for anyone more severely impaired, getting around could have been impossible. The accessibility issues aside, we were very pleased with everything else. We appreciated the solitude & it had obviously been fitted out to a high standard and well maintained. The kitchen was a bit small compared with the other rooms and there was little room for food storage as a result.
Absolutely beautiful cottage and very well equipped if you want to cook. Great location for exploring the beautiful area. Ellie the owner is very attentive and deals with problems straight away, we had a slight problem with a wasp nest and it was dealt with immediately. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful cottage peaceful and relaxing with lovely views especially from the hot tub
Angela
We had a lovely stay would definitely recommend. Relaxing peaceful. Lovely part of the world
My husband and I have just returned from a very relaxing stay at Sycamore Cotttage. I've not got a bad word to say about the cottage and it's perfect location. Can't fault the cleanliness, and there was very good communication with the owner throughout. We used the hot tub each day, mostly towards the evening when we enjoyed watching the sunset over the hills, whilst being welcomed by the friendly sheep in the adjoining field. We visited Bakewell, Buxton and walked Chatsworth House grounds during our stay which were each approx 40mins away. It's a well cared for property in the perfect location which we were sad to say goodbye to. A lovely, peaceful break had.
Nicola
Stayed in the cottage for 3 nights to celebrate a 60th birtjdsy absolutely wonderful so relaxing everything you need is there . Hot tub was the icing on the cake . Would totally recommend this cottage
Amazing long weekend stay in Sycamore Cottage. The house was a dream, beautifully furnished in the most picturesque setting. The host was fantastic we had a slight hiccup with the heating but Ellie was on to it within 10 minutes and problem solved whilst we were out enjoying the sunshine. What more could you ask? We would definitely recommend a stay at Sycamore Cottage and wouldn't hesitate to revisit in the future.
Katherine
Fantastic property, one of the best weve ever stayed. The location is lovely and peaceful, the location of the hot tub gives you an amazing view out over the fields adding to the serenity of it all. We were graced with beautiful weather and went out for a stroll around the area but we wouldnt have cared if it was chucking it down and we would have lit the lovely log burner and watched films in the comfort of the gorgeous living room. All the rooms are beautifully decorated and the kitchen is well equipped for your home cooking.
Generally a great experience, loved the property especially the fire and the connectivity in terms of tv and WiFi. The cottage was lovely and clean and kept comfortably warm.
We had a lovely holiday. Sycamore cottage is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. As soon as we arrived the cottage felt warm and homely. The day we arrived was at the height of storm Darragh, the owner gave us an early checkin which allowed us to miss the worst of the weather for our journey. The owner Ellie met us shortly after arrival and gave us a warm and friendly welcome. The cottage has good WiFi, a great hot tub, a cosy log burner extra to the central heating, great views over the surrounding countryside, great local farm shops. I could go on but in summary we loved it, didn't want to leave, and can't wait to go back. Thanks again Matt & Ellie
A lovely cottage set in beautiful countryside. The hot tub boasts wonderful views and stunning sunsets. Incredibly peaceful and relaxing yet close enough to Ashbourne for shopping and restaurants.
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
