“Quaint retreat for Jane Austen lovers”
+Very charming cottage, decorated like the quintessential English home. This place is ideally situated to visit the Peak District and the old spa towns of Buxton and Matlock. For the Jane Austen lovers: 1995's Pemberley (Lyme Park) is just 45 minutes away and 2005's Pemberley (Chatsworth) just over 5 minutes.
−Really nothing at all

“Clean and comfortable, close to attractions, but breakfast did not meet expectations.”
+Good location, a short walk away from pubs and restaurants. Close to Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Bakewell. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and there was plenty of free parking. Also, there was free Wi-Fi. Bed was comfortable and there was very good bathroom. My partner enjoyed the breakfast, which included tea, coffee, a glass of orange juice, a fresh fruit salad (strawberries, raspberries, kiwi fruit, blueberries, water melon, grapes), croissants, a choice of three cereals (Weetabix, cornflakes, and muesli), white and brown sliced bread, there was a toaster, a great selection of honey and homemade jam and individual marmite portions.
−The Sycamore Cottage web site states "The preserves are homemade as are the cakes on arrival.", we were not offered any cakes. At time of review, the Sycamore Cottage page on Booking.com web site sates "Delicious Breakfast: A full English or Irish breakfast is served daily, including juice and fresh fruits. Special diet menus are available to cater to diverse guest needs." It was therefore surprising to be informed on arrival, that it would be a continental breakfast. We discovered the next morning unlike the majority, if not all, breakfasts we have had in mainland Europe, it did not include cheese or cold meats. I believe that breakfast description (full English) was also the case when we booked in May 2025, certainly a Booking.com review dated 17 May 2025, states "full English breakfast was superb". Confusingly the bed had a duvet rated at13.5 tog, ideal for cold temperatures, however, at 6pm on our day of arrival, the outside temperature was 26C / 79F, and it was very warm in the room at that point, and through the night.
