  Positives:- owners left me to it after the initial welcome which i prefer, not a fan of owners checking in all the time.

  they left a welcome pack with homemade marmalade which was tasty, some shortbread , different types of tea and coffee. fresh milk in the fridge. bed was comfy and nice thick duvet that kept warm but doesnt make you sweat. had all the amenities you would want, lots of cutterly,plates,salt/pepper/spices etc great views and peaceful issues: Heating is controlled by the owner so if you are cold you would need to ask them to turn it up etc, which just feels like im complaining so i never did and just wore more things. there is no curtains at the front of the conservatory and only netted ones around the sides. the front faces the owners wall with a window in it(they dont ever seem to use this room) which doesnt feel very private at night where you cant see out but they can see in. It's a shared garden which wraps around the house with gates that have lots of space for any sized dog to get through. i broke a knob on a cupboard door moving the spare chairs around to make room, sorry about this. overall it was a good experience that could of been made great with the above issues addressed. 4.4/5 stars

  Lovely cottage in a nice little village.

  Ideal location for visiting Buxton and all areas of the Peak District. The kitchen was well equipped apart from a couple of things - there was no potato masher and only 2 medium pans and a very small one. Not really enough for a family. Just thought that was worth a mention, but in no way affected the enjoyment of our holiday. Would be happy to recommend the cottage to anyone. All in all a lovely long weekend break. *********************************************Owner Response************************************* Thank you very much for your lovely feeedback. Just wanted to point out that the Potato Masher is in the bottom drawer, (as it does not fit in the top drawer ) along with 2 further saucepans. I am glad that you had a lovely time in our cottage.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kempshill Cottage.

  The property was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable holiday. The fire pit was a wonderful addition, making evenings extra special. The kitchen was fully equipped with excellent utensils, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. The owner was very supportive and extremely informative about the activities around the area, which helped us make the most of our stay. We also appreciated the thoughtful touch of complimentary champagne and biscuits—they made us feel so welcome! The location in Tideswell was perfect for exploring the beautiful Peak District, and the peaceful surroundings added to the charm. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable—we would definitely recommend this cottage to others!

  No curtains or blinds in the lounge area, felt like we were in a goldfish bowl and didn't sit in there to watch tv except one tea time.

  Couldn't connect to the internet at all on my laptop, even tried in the pub but it didn't work, we managed to get it on our phones though. This place actually catered for smokers with seats and a table outside and the offer of an ashtray though we had our own, well done on that score. We were told just to ask to turn the heating up, which is operated by an app on the elderly owner's phone but at night when it did get cold the owners were in bed so we couldn't knock them up. All the gear needed for a comfortable stay, a lovely welcome basket also. We wouldn't go back again but it's ok to get your head down in for a day or two. Great people at the pub by the way.

  What an absolutely beautiful cottage, in an ideal and wonderful location!

  I would highly recommend Kempshill Cottage to friends, family and other Sykes customers. Kempshill is very spacious and yet so cosy! It’s been beautifully decorated and is so very well equipped, there wasn’t a single thing the owners hadn’t thought of or provided… Tideswell is a fabulous village too, with so much to offer on the doorstep. The Star pub is welcoming and friendly both for drinks and Sunday Lunch. Elliot’s fish n chip shop gets a huge thumbs up too! So all in all we’ve had another awesome visit to the Peak District with huge thanks to Kempshill Cottage, Tideswell and Sykes… thank you all and here’s to the next time!
