  Peaceful location close to the reservoir.

  Holly Cottage is one of 4 high end old saw mill conversions. Really nicely appointed, very private and lounge window looks out on garden and woods. It’s a lovely place to spend a relaxing holiday. Very secure, access is through electric gates, beautiful walks literally on the door step. It’s a car journey to the pub, however loads of great pubs in the area and most are dog friendly. Low and High Bradfield a short drive away, we’ll worth a visit. Lunchtime special in the Plough £6.50 and they serve Bradfield beer. The only thing I didn’t like was it’s got an adjoining door with Oak cottage, open if you book both cottages. You could just hear the neighbours through the door if they had the tv on too loud. It is mentioned in the description and probably a great feature for 2 families holidaying together. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would book again. High standards again from Sykes Cottages.

  We hadn't visited the Peak District for many years and were very pleased we chose 'Cara' as the base for our holiday. We received a warm welcome from Suzanne. The cottage is in a perfect position with excellent views over the surrounding countryside. So peaceful - the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. The cottage is very comfortable and spacious with everything you need to self cater. We loved the personal touches of the framed needlework throughout the cottage and the old Singer sewing machine in the sitting room. Reminded me of my teenage years using the family treadle Singer machine!! 'Cara' is ideally situated for easy access to the main roads which will take you to the many popular haunts in the Peak District. Places we recommend to visit: The National Tramway Museum, Eyam Village Museum, Cascade Gardens at Clatterway, Bonsall, nr Cromford.

  What a wonderful part of the world. The weather's been kind, the hills have been steep, the air has been fresh and we've had a delightful week's break from the traffic- filled lifestyle of Essex. We've cycled here, there and everywhere and really want to come back for more. The dedicated cycle tracks stretch far and wide and we've stopped to chat to so many people. We've photos and videos galore to remind us of our holiday. Cara cottage is perfect. Comfy bed, all mod cons, big TV for the evening and a safe place for the car. We've really enjoyed our time here and would recommend the cottage unreservedly. We swam in the open air Lido in Hathersage , looked at the Derwent reservoir, loved Bakewell and Matlock and Chesterfield. Went to Hardwick Hall and Ilam's Stepping Stones, and loved the Monsal and High Peak trails. Thank You

  This is our second stay at these lovely cottages.

  We stayed at Chestnut Cottage in October 2021. The cottages are really elegant and comfortable in a delightful and peaceful location. Great for local walks and also a good base for exploring the rest of the peak district. Three local supermarkets in Stocksbridge make self catering very easy. Holly cottage is the smallest (we were late making our booking this year) but is still more than adequate and once again we had a delightful stay. I should have reviewed Chestnut Cottage last October. It would have got 5 stars across the board, but our beloved German Shephard (Scooby) passed away a couple of days after our return and I couldn't think about the holiday at the time as it was too raw. Belated thank you to the owners for our wonderful stay last year.

  We loved staying in Holly Cottage.

  The directions and key collection instructions made for a smooth arrival process. We loved the general feel of the place and the facilities such as the fridge freezer, dishwasher and coffee machine were great. We also appreciated that we didn't need to bring or buy anything extra as everything from hand-wash to kitchen roll was available. Our son loved the enclosed outdoor space and loved running around on the grass. If there was one tiny niggle, it was that recycling instructions weren't clear from the outset so we ended up putting all of our rubbish into a black bin bag, only to find out on leaving day that it could have been recycled. A laminated note by the bin would have been useful. Thank you for a restful and stress-free holiday.
