The Bothy Reviews

Andrew

Beautiful property in an idyllic quiet, peaceful setting. Accommodation was ideal for us all as a large family and the hot tub made for an added bonus too.

Rebecca

Thank you for a great few days in the beautiful, comfortable huge Bothy! We had a reunion there with friends, and already missing the views, the space and all our laughs. Buxton nor far away, had delicious Sunday lunch in the old sun inn, highly recommend. Nearby walks were glorious and the weather superb, could not have wished for more!

Lovely stay, thank you. Accommodation had everything we needed for a weekend away.

Terence

Cottage was fine and well equipped. Late on I needed to ask you a question about bringing an extra dog. I couldn't find any way to contact a human at Sykes the owner had agreed unless I wanted a new booking that would have been easy. Eventually I raised a complaint and explained that I was bringing an extra dog. Nerer heard anything back from that either.. Not sure I would reccommend Sykes for communication!

Mr S Robbins

A lovely property. Not overly fussy so one you felt you could relax in. Position stunning, facilities very comprehensive. Would return

Mrs K Howarth

All in all a fantastic break in a beautiful cottage and stunning surroundings

Mrs J Ryan

We all loved the property. Its extremely well equipped in the kitchen, the beds and bed linen are top quality and the whole property is clean and beautifully maintained. We really appreciated the welcome gift of wine and chocolates. The garden and hot tub are great amenities. The attention to fire safety was reassuring also.

Mr A Sims

The house was beautiful and everything we needed for our stay was provided. It is such a stunning location that we are thinking of coming back next year

Mr M Mintern

What an amazing week we had, good family quality time. In a fab house. The grandkids and dogs also enjoyed the freedom of a safe garden. The week went way too quick ,we didnt want to go home. Thank you for everything.

Mrs D Taylor

Fantastic property, which soon felt like a 'home' for our family of 10 celebrating my 70th birthday for a weekend! Towels for the hot tub was an extra surprise, and the bed a d bedding was sumptuous! Also wine, chocolates and flowers made the weekend even more special!

Mrs S Johnson

A lovely, well equipped house in a beautiful setting. Local walks from the doorstep and a fabulous hot tub to relax in afterwards! Plenty of games, books, dvds for the grandchildren. An extremely enjoyable break. One of the better ones we've stayed in!

Mrs S Woollard

Lovely place to stay and very helpful team looking after the cottage highly recommend

Mr L Dobbs

Just need a new electric shower, It is a beautiful comfortable house with everything you need for a very enjoyable stay. Thank you x

Mrs J Griffin

This was our second visit to The Bothy and we were very happy with our time spent there. The area around is great and we were able to 'explore' on lovely walks. The hot tub is a nice addition although some of our group were not too bothered about it. Not really a downside some of the family found it a bit cold in the night but there are blankets and hot water bottles provided if needed. We would definitely visit again in future.

Mrs S Bradbrook

This is our second stay here and it did not disappoint! The house is beautiful and provided plenty of space for all our family. The Christmas decorations were lovely. The surroundings are beautiful and the hot tub was a highlight. The kitchen is well kitted out to enjoy meals at the house. We had one issue with a shower that was promptly dealt with. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Mrs D Brittle

Fabulous house in an amazing location. Would recommend this house for families or large groups like we were.

Rev G Boult

Excellent property and well maintained. Route instructions would be much easier to follow if you mentioned that The Bothy is next door to the big house!!

Ms R Speakman

The property was very well presented and had everything that we needed for our stay. We came as a large family group including adults, children and a dog. The property catered for all of our needs. My only suggestion would be to add a sign if possible where the 'triangle of grass' is in Wildboarclough directing you to the property. I drove past this several times before realising where I needed to go. Alternatively, there is a signpost at that point directing you to Macc Forrest. Maybe in the direction instructions, it could be included to follow that sign. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend and would definitely return.

Ms R Pacini

The property was great for what we needed. We were disappointed that we were unable to have some other family members come and join us for a few hours as the property seemed perfect for this. Getting in touch with Sykes was very difficult to discuss this issue and unfortunately marred the run up to our getaway and caused a significant amount of uncertainty and stress We also had an unfriendly encounter with a local who did not seem enamoured with visitors to the Bothy. Perhaps this explains the owner's reluctance to allow larger gatherings.

Mr T Hoggan

We had an absolutely fabulous family gettogether at The Bothy, 11 adults, 1 child and 2 babies! It was spotless and wonderfully equipped throughout, with great rooms and enormous beds! They even supplied us with extra cots, highchairs and stairgates, which was extremely helpful thanks Audrey. The instructions provided were really helpful and clear, and the House keeper responded very quickly to a query we had about waterheating, which was very helpful and reassuring thanks Marie. The hot tub was fantastic and it became the surprise focal point of our stay. It was such fun!! We also played badminton on the lawn and climbed the local hillside for views as far away as Snowdonia! We would highly recommend The Bothy, it was quiet with beautiful surroundings and the accommodation had everything you might need for a great family holiday. Thank you so much, we just loved it and didn't want to leave!

Ms J Taylor-Rose

The Bothy is such a beautiful house, you really feel at home, it has everything you need. The scenery is just stunning! And the hot tub is a bonus but please listen to the warning about the steps, they really do get slippery when wet, I have the bruises to prove it. Apart from that the only moan I have is the time went far to quick, a 4 night break isn't enough.

Mrs D Shipton

Great place to spend time with family or friends. We were provided with everything we needed plenty of plates and cutlery etc, dishwashers, washing machine and tumble dryer! Hot tub lovely and the setting location stunning. Useful folder of information too on places to visit.

Mrs J Kerr

An amazing holiday for all our family in this super property.

Mrs V Preston

Enjoyed a lovely couple of nights here for my mums 80th birthday. A nice clean comfortable house with everything we needed. Only downside was we all got badly bitten from mosquitos.

Mrs A Green

The Bothy was spotless and the best equipped holiday home that we have stayed in. The log fire gave a cosy feeling and the hot tub was enjoyed by all. We appreciated the daily maintenance. Despite the weather we had a lovely holiday in the large quirky home from home. Thank you.

Mrs S Treseder

The property was extremely well equipped the only thing we needed because the weather was so hot, were parasols for the outside tables! ! Otherwise, we all agreed it was the best holiday cottage we had ever stayed in. The location was amazing and the hot tub the star attraction. It comfortably accommodated 12 plus 2 babies. We all thoroughly recommend this property.

Mr J Dexter

I would highly recommend a stay at this property. Everything about our stay was ideal. One quibble maybe a heads up in the information pack about the total lack of phone signal?

Mr N Hall

Amazing property that offers everything you could want in an utterly beautiful location. The wine & chocolates were a very welcome surprise. Thank you for our stay.

Mrs K Relton

Lovely, big, comfortable house with all amenities you could need. Great views from the house and plenty of walks. Hot tub an added bonus. Would have been helpful to have had more dishwasher tablets and a dishcloth.

Mrs J Stone

A fantastic property to rent in a stunning location. The walk we did was breath taking. We stopped at The Hanging Gate pub, which is worth a visit regardless for the views. We have had the best weekend and will definitely be back. The hot tub is a welcome bonus at the end of a tiring day. It made our weekend. Highly recommended!

Mrs S Woollard

It's a great place to visit and stay and we loved it so much we have already rebooked for next year

Mrs R Sefton

We had a great weekend at the Bothy with all our family celebrating a special occasion. The house is beautifully furnished the beds are comfortable the kitchen well kitted out for catering for a larger group the hot tub was well maintained and fun.

Mrs D Driscoll

Mr D Ashley

The Bothy is a well appointed house, which suited our multi family stay well. Its in a good location with easy access to Macclesfield and Buxton and has many lovely walks within easy reach.

Mrs E Bailey

Mr S Laws

This was a superb property in a beautiful location. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout and the staff we met on site were welcoming and helpful. The Bothy was cleaned to a very high standard and well equipped. The hot tub was a real bonus and very welcome after a long days walk. All of our chosen walks could be done from the house. All of our party of 11 thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend The Bothy.
