The Farmhouse Reviews

Leslie
A very homely property well equipped for a family. Beautiful setting albeit stiff walk to local village
We had a great stay and will definitely return. Things we loved amazing views from every angle, comfy beds, lots of cosy sofas in the sitting room, big open fire in dining room, plenty of room for 15 of us, hot tub was great, dog friendly, well equipped 3 fridges!, thoughtful welcome pack, EV car charging, great communication from host, friendly sheep.
Valerie
It was a very pleasant situation, though the approach road was extremely narrow and difficult to negotiate with oncoming traffic or pedestrians and sheep. There was not enough space for all to sit in the kitchen or the lounge we were only 11, so I'm not sure how a larger group would manage. Catering for a large number in the kitchen was tricky due to lack of working surfaces. The room with long tables at the entrance to the house was very basic and soulless, so we weren't inclined to use it. We had problems with sheep invading the garden and keeping us awake at night and the lawn was consequently out of bounds for my grandchildren because of sheep faeces.
Thomas
Very comfortable and spacious property, which is very accurately described in the booking material. We were a party of 8 adults and 7 small children and there was plenty of space and comfortable accommodated. Very helpful manager who was very responsive to any requests It is in a lovely setting and if you want a rural retreat with a large party you really couldn't have asked for more
Great location and facilities for our extended family weekend. Directions We all found the house OK but directions up the narrow lane werent very helpful. Very well equipped. BBQ Nice new bbq but property details could add info about it being a charcoal bbq and guests need to bring fuel.
Annabel
We had a fabulous time at The Farmhouse, which was very comfortable, very clean and very well equipped a perfect venue for a large family gathering, managing to combine space with cosines. The property manager is very friendly and helpful, and the surrounding countryside is stunning with footpaths leading to numerous local beauty spots and nearby villages. I wholeheartedly recommend The Farmhouse to anyone looking for a place to host a large group comfortably.

We enjoyed our stay and really liked the location but more information in the house on the following would be helpful although we had no specific problems with any of these how the heating and hot water worked hot tub controls
Kenneth
A great property in a lovely location, perfect for a large group of family and friends. My only comment would be that there is a large and growing population of ants, which are starting to get a bit annoying. And the little welcome pack is nice, but some ground coffe would be better than a bag of beans, since I don't think the property has any way of grinding them!
We loved staying at the farmhouse it was clean there was enough space for all of us 17 the views and surrounding area are stunning. The facilities within the Farmhouse were good. The only thing that I would say is there needs to be more signs for some of the steps within the property there are some deep steps, especially around the kitchen and no warning signs but apart from that myself and my family had a lovely weekend in this lovely Farmhouse.
A perfect house for a large gathering! We stayed here for a family holiday and it had everything we needed. There was lots of space for all 18 of us in the bedrooms and reception rooms with a welcoming kitchen, living room and conservatory. Plenty of room for the younger children to play and give the teenagers some separate space too. The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome basket, board games and books were a nice addition. The house was very clean, warm and wellkept which I'm sure isn't easy with such an old farmhouse! The hot tub was a huge hit with everyone and the views were amazing! Lots of outdoor space for football and our Easter egg hunt! We had an issue with the filter on the hot tub and the maintenance team came out very quickly and resolved it Vicky was very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend this holiday house!
Fantastic place. Perfect location remote and private. House was very well stocked with all you'd need, including board games. Jacuzzi was amazing, we bathed in the hot tub whilst watching new born lambs gambling about only feet away
A lovely, comfortable property in a beautiful location. Great space for a large gathering of friends and family. The dogs enjoyed the huge garden space we were there before any livestock moved in to the surrounding fields Friendly and helpful manager thanks for a great week away!
The dishwasher filter might need cleaning
Lowfield Farm is a perfect location for a family gathering. We were a party of 16, with 10 adults and 6 children. We had a really excellent weekend and the hot tub was loved by young and old.
Fantastic long weekend spent at the Farmhouse with 12 adults and 3 infants. The photos dont do it justice! Beautiful area, comfortable beds with a well equipped kitchen and the hot tub was an added bonus. Responsive hosts who were available but not intrusive. We will be back!
Great property perfect for a family get together. Everything we needed, the location was great. The property was perfect for everyone. It suited all three generations of the family. Everything was as described and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely book again
Michael
Had a great time at the cottage the facilities are great and it is a beautiful area. There are footpaths for walks immediately from the property. There is plenty of space for a big group we spent one night in the cottage making a big group meal, and the other night booked a pub meal at a place in Youlgreave about 3040 mins walk on footpaths across the fields. The hot tub was a great addition, especially when it was cold and snowing outside. The hosts were very friendly and incredibly helpful when we had some car issues at the end. Would highly recommend!
Kathryn
One of the best places we have ever stayed in. The description doesnt do it justice. A luxurious ,beautifully appointed farmhouse in a stunning location. Our party of 10 adults 5 children and a baby had everything they needed and more !
The Farmhouse is a lovely place to stay with family and friends. We were there to celebrate and the facilities were ideal for this. It is an old farmhouse but this gives it its charm. The information maybe should mention that there is a long access road.
Alison
The location is amazing and the care taker was very friendly. Having stayed in the other holiday let here I must say we were a little disappointed with the farmhouse. This was a family holiday for my parents 50th wedding anniversay. The property is in need of some general maintenance with broken furniture and light fittings in several of the rooms. There were only 4 wine glasses the rest were plastic and the kitchen equiptment did not match what was available in the other property. The hot tub needs daily check or more chlorine as by day 2 the water was pretty unpleasant we showered before using. Overall I would recommend this location but would advise booking the other accomodation.
Pauline
After a wonderful week at the Farmhousethe location was fantastic, suitable for our large family, comfortable, clean and with views to die for. Just a couple of things. There were water problems upstairsno cold water came out of upstairs taps or loos while the bath was being run. The grass around the property was very long, making games of football difficult. Dave did come and mow but stopped when the wheels fell off the mower. Dave was helpful with other things when we contacted him. I did feel irritated when emailed by Sykes Cottages while we were in the Farmhouse, offering the property at almost 5000 less just two weeks after our stay.it made me question whether we had been overcharged for the week we had booked. Despite this, our family of twelve adults and six children had a very happy holiday, in an outstanding location and in a very comfortable and wellequipped farmhouse.
Anthony
The Farmhouse is in a good location, with great views, including from the hot tub! It was great for children to romp around, both inside and out. Plenty of outside space but the overlong grass prevented some games being played. The kitchen was wellequipped with plenty of crockery and cutlery. As with any building of that size and age there were some maintenance niggles, but nothing to mar our stay.
Richard
A farmhouse in a beautiful location but sadly very overpriced for what we got. Day 1 we couldnt turn heating off despite 20C Day 2 plumber came and said there was a problem but he had closed all radiator valves. Also day 2 downstairs toilet started to smell badly. We were told there had been a problem but obviously not fixed Day 3 we decided to have a BBQ but realised 40 of outdoor table had no glass top we were told the wind had caught it and the glass had broken. We found out they hadnt swept up properly when one of the children in our party brought some pieces of glass they had found between the paving stones. I could go on about insufficient glasses and poor wifi but they seemed relatively insignificant!!
Kenneth
Leak from beneath the kitchen sink possibly from dishwasher drain was a problem, but hopefully now fixed. Two long tables don't really fit well in the dining room, especially while it's also trying to be an entrance hall, boot and coat removing area etc. Not sure what you could do about that though. But a very warm and comfortable house we had a good time.
We had a lovely time thank you! A few minor things cd be improved the conservatory doors dont lock altho I appreciate that the location is remote, this needs fixing. Oven gloves and more cleaning clothes would have been helpful and there is a relative lack of glassware for the size of property. The cold tap in the first four poster room sink also not working. A booklet with some info on the propertyapplianceslocal amenities and walks would also be helpful. We had a problem the first night with the landing light switches which are on a timer not turning off so had to remove bulbs until the electrics were reset the next day. All minor issues which didnt spoil our week the property is spacious, the jacuzzi has panoramic views after long local walks straight from the front door and the electric car chargers were great. Would love to stay again as the local area is beautiful and pubsshops in Youlgreave kept us well supplied.
We have spent a fabulous weekend at Lowfield Farm with all our children and grandchildren. It's a lovely property in a delightful location and is really well equipped. The caretaker Dave was readily available for any queries. We're very happy to recommend this as a super location. A bonus was being able to luxuriate in the hot tub with ice on the surrounding garden. And the stars at night were amazing.
We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse over Christmas. The kitchen had all we needed for Christmas lunch and David the caretaker was really helpful. Perfect home away from home for big groups.
Steven
Great farmhouse lovely and warm and comfortable. Really nice touches a welcome pack with mince pies and a Christmas tree in the front room which was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. Lovely clean and comfortable beds, plenty of room for my family of 14 adults. Although drive was quite icy the caretaker made a special trip that night to add more salt. Altogether a great stay, would definitely recommend, thank you.
Rebecca
Lovely property in a lovely location. Plenty of space, really well equipped, and the owner was really helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
Kirsty
Absolutely loved the weekend stay! Very well equipped and comfy. Really cosy and warm. Bedrooms exceptional and the beds too. The location is amazing and the views from the hot tub are just outstanding! Thank you for helping to make my 50th a memory that will last forever!
We arrived in the pitch black and it was a scary drive to the house tiny roads but so worth it. The first thing we found was biscuits, tea, coffee, milk and what a GODSEND that was! Thank you!! I was never so happy until I saw them. The house is beautiful and clean with four poster beds, jacuzzi for about 6, lovely conservatory, dining room with real fire, sitting room with fake fire which sadly didnt work when we were there and wellequipped farm kitchen. Linens and towels and some soaps and toilet rolls provided. Only one bedroom has ensuite with bath but there were 3 other shared bathrooms and the one I used had the best shower ever so powerful. All the beds were comfy everyone said so! with fresh linen sheets and very plumped up pillows. More than enough for everyone. We had to use some initiative to work out the central heating as no instructions. Basically, the thermostat is upstairs, left down the long corridor and next to the furthest upstairs bedroom. Once that was spotted, we were toasty and warm. The electric fire needed instructions using iPhones to photograph the back of the fire told us it was a Dimplex Oakhurst so we looked up instructions on the internet but as the lights didnt work, we contacted The caretaker who suggested we didnt use it. We didnt miss it though and preferred the real fire anyway which was well stocked with wood and fire lighters. The Smores we cooked by the fire with the children were delicious. The WiFi and instructions were clear and good info in a sheet about rubbish and toilets. The Jacuzzi was amazing! So hot when I first got in and easily took 5 of us. Again, some instructions on use would be helpful but we worked it out ish with experimentation. The view from the tub is AMAZING right over the valley to the hills opposite we felt like kings. One touch the house owners might like to add to make it perfect would be some fairy lights on the patio and leading to the jacuzzi for evening sessions with just adults. It was a lovely stay and we really enjoyed it. A few niggles but excellent on the whole.
Great location, beautiful house and perfect for a family getaway. Plenty of room, ample bathrooms and the house was toasty and warm. Hot tub was great too! Would definitely recommend.
We absolutely loved our stay and the caretaker David Bailey was so helpful and attentive. Really wonderful and looking forward to booking soon for next year.
Even better than it looks on photos! The cottage is beautiful , spacious and in an amazing location! We already want to come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay after a few initial concerns regarding the central heating. These problems were rectified by David fairly swiftly. The accommodation suited the family group of 18 with comfortable beds and areas to socialise. The farmhouse is situated in a very beautiful part of Derbyshire which the family appreciated with lots of walks and visits to local areas of interest.
