New Cottage Farm, BUXTON

Rated 5/50 by DavidC14371 on 12th August 2017

"Having booked many self-catering holidays over the years, I'm all too used to the reality not living up to the publicity. Here, if anything, it was the opposite. The cottage is spacious, well-equipped, clean and tidy. The rooms are much bigger than the pictures suggest, and it's good to have decent amounts of storage in each rooms, as well as a spacious bathroom. The location is stunning - even when the weather is variable, the views are breathtaking. This is the ideal place if you want to get away from it all."

"This cottage was our home for a week and it was perfect. It's been renovated to a high standard and the owners have given careful thought to its interior with a lovely modern theme yet retaining the 'old barn' feel with some of the original features. For visitors staying with younger children there is a high chair and plastic tableware. They've also included a thermos for hot water if you need to warm a baby's bottle or food when going out! It's ideally situated if you're planning to go walking and is also great for trips into Buxton, Bakewell and Chatsworth to name a few. There are lots of family friendly pubs around the area all of which seem to offer good quality food and local beers (The Lazy Trout near Tittesworth Reservoir, The Duke on the outskirts of Buxton and the Store/Cafe close to the cottage does a good breakfast!) Everywhere we went we were struck by how friendly and helpful people were, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. "

"The owner was kind enough to meet us and let us in, and though we were only staying for a couple of nights, we were treated to a Christmas tree, chocolates, wood for the stove - the works. All of this combined with the snow-covered fields made it feel very special, and a great way to round off our Christmas holidays. We kept remarking how the cottage was like a tardis, compact on the outside, spacious on the inside. The decor was pretty and modern, but the stone walls, the steep staircase and the old stone trough at the window all recalled its past life as a farm cottage. All very cosy and comfortable, with one caveat : the staircase is extremely steep, and made of stone. I did worry slightly about sleppwalking kids taking a tumble. Perhaps a stairgate for the kids' bedroom door?"

"We had a difficulty locating this cottage as the "Traveller's Rest" pub on the instructions turned out to be called "The Knight's Table"! A recent name change it seems but very confusing nevertheless. The cottage was excellent, nicely decorated, clean and tidy, comfortable beds, lovely bathroom and a very nice welcome pack which was much appreciated. We were lucky with the weather and we were able to make the most of the amazing views. Lots to do around the area and we enjoyed a couple of good walks, just wish I had taken my bike! Highly recommended."

"This cottage is a superb place to stay. The rooms are large and furnished to a high standard, maintaining a homely feel. We rented through Sykes Cottages, but also met the owner, who explained the history and how he renovated the cottage. He was also very thoughtful and accommodating, in that he cleared the deep snow with a JCB - so that we could enter the house! We had a wonderful week and would certainly recommend it to others. Buxton and Leek are close by and there are interesting local walks. The New Inn at Flash, serves great beer and is a traditional Derbyshire local pub. We would certainly like to return to this house in the future."

"Rented this cottage with my children and my Mum. We had a fabulous week. The weather was reasonably kind and we were able to get out every day. But to come back to this lovely property was the real treat of the holiday. Beautifully decorated, fantastic facilities with a log burner to keep us cosy. An excellent pub as well right on our doorstep for tea every evening with a landlady who welcomed us with open arms and invited the children to the private Halloween party they were throwing for all the local children. We hope to return and take Daddy with us next time."
