  Christmas 2024 - Two adults, 4yo and a dog.

  This was our first time going away over Christmas and we absolutely loved it. The cottage is in the perfect, quiet location in the dales with a small brook running alongside it. Waking up Christmas morning to that sound and overlooking tranquil fields was idyllic to say the least. Property was great - kitchen and lounge were good size for us and has everything you need for a base in the Peaks. Owners even had a real Christmas tree up for us which was a lovely touch. Made it magical for our daughter. Two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs were very comfortable. You will get a great sleep here and very hot bath. Door to property is cold and it took a day or so to get the heating right, but the radiators have thermostatic valves so after a couple of adjustments it was perfect. Recommend changing upstairs radiators to 3 and having thermostat in the kitchen set to 19 during the day. Location wise it is excellent - you are in a very quiet area with a pretty much unknown dale walk right on the doorstep, but then it's just 15 mins drive to Bakewell and only 30 mins to Chatsworth. Thank you to the owners for an excellent place to have our Christmas stay. We already looked into coming back in January for a couple of days

  Enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

  Facilities fine. A few minor issues on maintenance I would draw the owner’s attention to: Several of the radiators didn’t get warm. They may need bleeding. Additional plug in heaters enabled us to keep warm. The shower waste pipe didn’t drain as fast as it should and the shower tray threatened to overflow so had to keep turning the shower off. The frying pan didn’t have a flat base which meant it wasn’t very compatible with the induction hob. We struggled with the key safe on arrival. Rang Sykes but response was poor. Repeated efforts with the keysafe revealed we weren’t pressing both buttons, so our own error. On a previous booking, I had a problem I wished to discuss. When I rang Sykes number the response was quick, but when it was established that this was not an enquiry about a new booking I was diverted to another number. After 45 minutes I gave up. Eventually I succeeded in contacting the owners directly.

  We had a lovely New Years break at this cottage.

  On arrival it was decorated with lights, a tree and other festive items which was a lovely touch. Cottage is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine and a very well equipped kitchen a good size fridge freezer too. Owners have provided lots of local information and maps for visitors to look at to plan their stays. Longnor is a lovely village and lots of surrounding things to do, we were treated to seeing the Northern Lights on new years day too. A previous review has mentioned parking being tricky, but we had a discovery car and managed to fit that into the space outside, was tight but we did it, there's also parking available further down the street if people do worry. We are hoping we can return soon, was a lovely stay , we didn't want to return home.

  If we could give a 100 stars for this cottage, then we would.

  The owner was lovely and allowed us to go in early and kept us fully informed about the cottage. 10/10 Customer Service. The cottage was just so beautiful, very very clean, and just so cosy. The welcome package, cakes and mulled wine was very welcomed, thank you so much. The beds in the cottage were just so comfortable and very well needed after a day walking around the beautiful village of Tideswell. We had the most wonderful weekend and the local people, including Amy the owner, were some of the most friendliest people we have ever met! Thank you once again, and we hope to visit again sometime soon. Finally, we will be sure to recommend Angel Cottage to all our friends and family.

  Beautiful property in a perfect setting.

  We booked the Lodge for our grandson's first birthday celebrations. 6 adults, the birthday boy and our 2 dogs had a wonderful week. Communication with the owners was excellent. John greeted us and filled the bird feeders, which are located adjacent to the lounge window. The feeders were quickly mobbed by beautiful birds and cheeky squirrels, much to the delight of our grandson and adults alike. The Lodge was furnished and equipped to a very high standard. It was clean, cosy and very comfortable. Home made cake and Prosecco was a lovely gift from the owners. Would highly recommend this Lodge to anyone who needs a peaceful break in the middle of unspoilt spectacular countryside
