What our customers say about their holidays

  Fabulous spacious well equipped cottage with panoramic views from every window.

  The hosts were very attentive and always ready to answer any questions or for anything we needed even kindly leaving us biscuits when we arrived. The gardens are well attended with beautiful luscious green grass with plenty of outdoor chairs. The games room provided extra space and entertainment even in wet weather. For our young family being on a working farm was very exciting. Farm tractors up and down the farm Lane, cows, calves and lambs on the fields. It was a dream holiday being in the midst of it all. The cottage is on a little Lane and our children were able to ride their bikes half a mile down to a cattle grid without the worry of traffic. The area is also brilliant with abundance of activities for various different ages, very close to alton towers, less than 10 minutes drive to tittesworth reservoir, a stunning place to do canoeing and paddle boarding, beautiful walks, and so much more. Whilst it is in rural location leek town is just a short drive, and in the quant town of leek you'll find any shop you need. Highly recommend a holiday at this amazing cottage. And my advice is to ignore any negative feedback below, for us being on a working farm is a massive bonus for a family holiday.

  We really loved our stay at Gun End Cottage, a cottage full of character in a beautiful part of the world.

  The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with an interesting history that you can read about in the information folder, this folder also has a tongue in cheek poem about the cottage and its idiosyncrasies which made us smile. It has a simple quaint appeal, if you appreciate fittings from an earlier age which we do, you will love this place, the brass door knobs, the leaded window's, the fireplaces and the Duckett basin in the upstairs bathroom. The nearest neighbours are the sheep in the field adjacent to the cottage. With every trip out you are immediately on a scenic drive. We visited Buxton, Leek and Longnor all places with individual appeal, as for walks, The Roaches, Lud Church and the Manifold Trail are great and can be made as leisurely or taxing to suit your own level of fitness. Another nice walk is to leave the cottage, turn left down the hill until reaching a footpath sign on the left for 'Gighall' which leads to the river Dane. Some of the more remote roads in this area are winding,narrow,steep and 'interesting' to say the least and one gets a great sense of achievement at journey's end.

  The accomodation was fine apart from the lack of internet which the details stated that it had.

  The internet was virtually non existent and had I known this on looking to book a property then I would have looked elsewhere. The TV that is described as a Smart TV needs internet to act as such. Bearing in mind that the evenings were drawing in and weather turned out to be crap, then it spoiled our week away. I couldnt even use my laptop to browse or our phones as there was also poor phone signal. The landlady tried her best but you cant recify what isnt there. On arriving home I spoke to Sykes Cottages but they were no help and just stopped replying to me. My advice to them and to the owner either improve the internet or explain the facts on the site. As it stands it is blatant misrepresentation of the facts. Anybody considering booking this property and needs internet access then dont. Book somewhere else but if its through Sykes Cottages dont expect any help or redress from them. My advice is use another company

  This is the worst holiday we have ever had .

  We are 70 and 78 booked it because looks tranquill and after bereavement and daughter in laws stroke was looking forward to meeting our son and his wife for us all to have a quiet time.we were subjected to noise from 5am one morning to late at night just constant noise tractors farm vehicles all day for whole of week .it doesn't mention in sykes listing of next to a very busy noisy intrusive farm no pictures show the farm and the mess is awful rusting farm machinery tractors outside your bedroom window.if we had known all this we wouldn't have booked it. We have all come home spending all that money and as pensioners wanting a peaceful holiday with our son and wife this we did not get just constant noise from morning till night .we are very upset and feel nearly 500 to turn up to that is disgusting and certainly false advertising it should state what to expect.glynis

  We feel this property has been misrepresented.

  There is only mention of being adjacent to a farm, and we only learned of this once the key safe details were given. We have stayed close to farms before; however, with three farms working in close proximity, we have never been subject to so much noise, with numerous farm vehicles coming and going from early in the morning to the evening. Furthermore, there was a busy main road at the end of the field. We were told this location was tranquil; my daughter and I have not been well lately, so we thought it would be nice. What a joke it was like being next to a depot. In addition, the ad states how well-equipped it was. This is the most basic property we have stayed in; for example, we were supplied with a basket of logs but no means to light the fire. I went out and bought kindling, firelighters and a lighter.
