The owners of The Farmhouse at Mill Farm, Bear Cottage, and Rose Cottagewere named winners in Sykes Holiday Cottages’ Sykes Stars programme.
From a converted cow shed in Heage to an 18th century cottage in Matlock and an endearing farmhouse in the hamlet of Milton, these holiday lets have been selected as some of the best across the country.
The Sykes Stars programme aims to recognise holiday homeowners from across the UK that have achieved perfect feedback scores from guests consistently in the last year.
