  I cannot fault this lovely cosy cottage, has so many home comforts and so welcoming.

  Perfect for dogs, great enclosed outdoor garden and can sit out on raised garden in 2 areas. Kitchen Aga is fab experience hearing the whistling kettle, making toast, trying the ovens a must. Lovely welcome touches for both us and dog, so much provided when we opened fridge nice surprises and lovely cake on a stand waiting, tea coffee sugar, all your washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets all there in abundance ! Not many cottages are so well equipped. Plenty cosy space and chairs to relax both downstairs in kitchen and dining area and also upstairs in lounge. Showers are great powerful proper showers ! Even dog has his own shower outside with warm water !! Beds so good and comfy and bedding duvets and pillows and towels really good quality and perfect. Everything has been done to make the cottage like home cosy comfortable and of great quality. Great pubs and restaurants in Tideswell and even slightly out. Recommend the Star, Sals Italian, Anglers Rest nearby. Loads great walks in area Parking was never an issue …majority of time we were right outside and had 2 cars and if not there is plenty space along the road and also a free car park in the market square right next to the cottage. This is a really quaint quirky place to spend your holiday and highly recommend. The owner has written a welcome book with loads useful info eg how to use the Aga etc and you can tell just from reading it when you arrive how welcome you are

  We are just back from a wonderful holiday at Billy Whiskey's.

  Obviously Derbyshire is a great place for a walking holiday, but Tideswell is a super place to access all it has to offer. It's super friendly and has a variety of proper shops and cafes, along with a well stocked Co-op. The cottage itself is perfect. It manages to combine history and character with modern expectations. We were a mixed aged party of 6 and everyone felt there was ample space to either come together or have a bit of peace and quiet. I thought the kitchen sofa, next to the window and pavement, might feel a bit exposed, but in reality it is a lovely place to sit to watch the world go by. The kitchen is equipped to the standard you might expect at home. Lots of different sized, good quality pans, serving dishes, utensils etc. It was great fun getting to grips with the Aga and lovely sitting around the farmhouse dining table in the evenings. We didn't eat out, but there are at least six different options within easy walking distance if you want to. The owners have got everything right. I wholeheartedly recommend Billy Whiskey's.

  We left after one night.

  Overwhelming smell of smoke from the broken chimney stack. White stone walls in the sitting room are grey with it. Mould spores everywhere, behind beds, corners, windows etc. Leak in utility so floor had puddles. Sheets hadn’t been changed. Stained and wrinkled so called owner and told where sheets were (locked in eaves, sitting on floor with mouse traps and mould on walls). Mould in eaves wardrobe. Dirty kitchen, oven. Uncomfortable beds. Vintage one unsafe as not bolted together tightly and moves. Sofa dirty and cushions paper thin. Had shower and flooded downstairs toilet out and that was the last straw. Obviously happened before as ceilings have old water stains. Got refund for remaining 6 nights but really upsetting. Took photos and shared with Sykes. Only saving grace is the glorious location.

  We needed this 5 day trip as a break from work, Bristol and the stress of Covid. The cottage is stunning on the outside and interior is beautifully done. Plenty of space for two people but cosy and practical. The location is at the heart of town and in walking distance of shops and restaurants but once inside feel you are in the middle of nowhere. Even though not the best weather. We still managed a walk in the park, town, bike ride on the Monsal Trail (highly recommend) walk up Ramshaw rocks, a trip to Peak Wildlife Park. Had two dinners at Pizza Express and The Lone Star (highly recommend-great staff, food and Covid restrictions). The rest of the time we relaxed in the cottage and enjoyed our stay. Thanks Fran and Phil.

  We loved our long weekend at Billy Whiskeys.

  Well located in the centre of the village, with the co-op minutes away, parking on the street which was very easy. And the cottage is delightful, cosy and all the amenities you could need. We loved the Aga (and the helpful instructions), relaxing areas. We really appreciated the very generous welcome pack of local milk, butter and oatcakes. And we had four dogs, with plenty of room for them all, and the dog shower, perfect after an inevitable muddy walk. The garden is small, and not grassed, but the church or field at the back are easy to get to. There are alot of stair, and the first floor bathroom is a bit awkward to get into, so I would only suggest some more handrails
