“We loved Harry’s Lodge; it was absolutely brilliant inside and the little woofers enjoyed running around.”

The problem was that we were expecting it to be deep in the countryside away from fireworks. It wasn’t. That’s nothing to do with the owners - all to do with the way photographs have been taken and the way it has been marketed Sykes! My friend and my 14 yr old dog were expecting a quiet time, but with fireworks very close and a busy road close to the double bedroom, it was far from quiet. Nothing to do with you Alison - all to do with Sykes and expectations from marketing I’m afraid.

Thank you very much Property Owner
Victoria October 2024

“A very clean and comfortable lodge that was well thought out and tastefully decorated throughout.”

Owner very friendly and helpful. Good location for visiting many places although nearer to a busy road than I had expected but the lodge very well insulated so didn’t disturb you when inside. As mentioned to the owner it would be useful if the decking area was fully gated making it secure for dogs/children. The paddock was great to have somewhere to walk the dog but not secure enough to have off lead if you have a dog that is good at escaping! Really enjoyed our stay - really comfy sofas and beds. Lovely views from the lodge - we didn’t have the weather to sit out but would be lovely if you did. Highly recommend.

- Victoria, October 2024

Thank you for your comments and will take on board what you suggested Property Owner
Joanne September 2024

“A fabulous holiday home.”

Very comfortable, warm and very clean with all the amenities and more than one could expect. The views were great and the access was good. One small issue was that the TV was very unpredictable (wi-fi issues, I think). However I would definitely recommend this accommodation. A home from home!

- Joanne, September 2024

Thank you , so glad you enjoyed your holiday with us I am in the process of sorting the wi fi out , Royal Mail and outreach are holding things up at the moment, I hope it’s sorted soon for everybody to enjoy Property Owner
David September 2024

“A very nice cottage, ideally located for exploring some of the must do's in the Peak District.”

Well kitted out and good quality of equipment. As other reviews have mentioned the WiFi is poor. No information provided about recycling or separation of rubbish, operation of heaters etc or leaving procedure for bedding & towels which would have helped.

- David, September 2024

Thank you for your comments I have taken them onboard and hope to improve the things you suggest Property Owner
Stephen August 2024

“Could not fault the lodge at all.”

The only thing that spoiled the holiday was the smart tv &wifi was rubbish,could hardly watch tv also could not work on my laptop.however i wold go back again

- Stephen, August 2024

Thank you , I am in the process of Harry’s lodge being sorted to have its own wi, it’s quite a job involving open reach to provide a telephone line, Royal Mail to accept its own postal address and not use mine, only then can it have its own supply , I hope we have it sorted soon Property Owner
Dianne August 2024

“Thankyou Olga for a lovely stay in Harry's Lodge, it's a credit to you both.”

Everything was fresh and clean and wanted for nothing, Henry (Dalmatian) loved the paddock and spent many hours chilling on the decking.....the views are amazing on a sunny day. The only niggle we had was the WiFi which was a bit hit n miss but Olga did explain that was soon to be sorted. Thanks again and hope to come back sometime.

- Dianne, August 2024

Thank you, I am still in the process of sorting wi fi out Hope to see you again Property Owner
Maureen August 2024

“We enjoyed our stay at Harry's Lodge very clean and everything needed for a week's stay.”

Olga the owner was very friendly and welcoming and told us if we needed anything to just ask. If we were coming back to the area we would definitely choose to stay at Harry's Lodge.

- Maureen, August 2024

Glad your holiday was fine, and hope to see you again thank you Property Owner
Paula July 2024

“Simply idyllic and lovely quiet setting.”

Amazing paddock for our fur babies to play in. Lodge was spotless and very well equipped. Very central to visit the surrounding areas such as Ashbourne, Dovedale, Buxton, Bakewell and Carsington Water. Only thing I would suggest that is needed in the lodge is either a sweeping brush or a vacuum. But I'm a bit if a clean freak

- Paula, July 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay will make sure there’s a sweeplg brush in , The vacuum is at present being repaired and will be returned soon Property Owner
Elizabeth July 2024

Suzanne July 2024

“Lovely lodge, very remote and surrounded by nature.”

Very clean well equipped. Internet signal was disappointing and couldn’t really watch TV but we enjoyed our short stay. Nice and relaxing and great location for Matlock, Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Gardens.

- Suzanne, July 2024

Glad you enjoyed your stay Sorry about your internet signal I am trying to rectify this Property Owner

“Harry’s Lodge was immaculate and very clean, it was very comfortable and thoughtfully decorated throughout.”

The location was idyllic and very peaceful with wonderful views. The large garden was ideal for our dog to run around. We would definitely return and would highly recommend.

Thank you for your comments Glad you had a comfortable stay and hope to see you again Property Owner
Eileen June 2024

“TV reception and Wifi were very hit and miss.”

Details of local walks, usually provided with other properties, would have been appreciated. Re ALL properties: Advanced notice of whether a ‘welcome pack’ is provided, and if so, what is included, would be helpful, in order that holiday makers have some idea what purchases are needed en route. A direct number to contact owner/manager of property would have been helpful. (They may have been able to advise on action to take to improve TV reception/wifi). Very nice property.

- Eileen, June 2024
Helen May 2024

Andrew April 2024

“Fantastic weeks break at Harry's Lodge.”

The owner Olga who lives next door is lovely and the perfect host. Spotlessly clean to perfection throughout , very comfy seating and beds. Everything you could possibly need is provided and of high quality. Ideal for anyone with limited mobility, lovely walk in shower. Great walks direct from the door. Excellently maintained inside and out. It was also lovely to meet Olgas son and we are looking forward to our return booked for later this year. An absolute credit to Olga. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Andrew, April 2024

Thank you for your feedback I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us I have tried to make it comfortable and welcoming, and am open to your suggestions for any improvements if any Property Owner

“The cottage was beautiful, clean, comfy and spacious, with 4 adults and 2 dogs it didn't feel cramped.”

The garden was big for the dogs to move about. Location was great all the places we wanted to visit were no more than 30 minutes away. We all loved the Peak district so definitely will book Harry's Lodge again.

Jane November 2023

“The outside of the property was actually better than the photos, the views were brilliant and inside was stunning.”

The weather was bad but so snug and cosy inside made up for it..The dog loved running in the paddock accessed direct from the lounge. Consider it the nicest accommodation I have rented in 30 years.

David October 2023

“Harrys Lodge was superbly fitted out and I can say this is the best self catering property we have ever stayed in.”

There is easy access to the Derbyshire Dales and places like Chatsworth House. The only slight niggle we had was that connection to the internet was patchy and this did affect the smart TV and my laptop but I am sure this could be easily rectified. Dont let this put you off a fantastic property in a lovely quiet spot only a 10 minute drive from the bustling towns of Matlock and Chesterfield

- David, October 2023

Thank you, glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

Clarence September 2023

“Myself, Shirley and our dog Copper had a wonderful week at Harry's Lodge.”

We were made very welcome by Olga who had left fresh flowers, bottle of wine, chocolates and biscuits on the table plus milk in the fridge. Everything was exceptional, comfy beds and furniture, and so well equipped and absolutely spotless. The lodge is ideally situated in idealic surroundings and close to places to visit. Copper had such good fun having a whole paddock to play in. The lodge is without doubt the best holiday accomodation that we have ever experienced. Many thanks to Olga, Harry and Shaun. We have already recommended the lodge to friends and would love to return sometime in the future. Clary, Shirley and Copper.

“Lovely lodge with amazing views.”

Clean and cosy and very comfortable beds. Ideal for exploring the Peak District and the owner is very helpful and friendly. Our boxer loved the garden and luckily didn’t see any of the wild rabbits visiting. Supermarkets are 9 minutes away in the car with a Farm shop even nearer. Would highly recommend.
