Here are a few quotes taken directly from our Guests' book in the cottage:

'Our first visit to the charming village of Castleton and this splendid, tastefully decorated cottage with its ancient beams, great walks in the hills. Hope to return again.'

‘A few days enjoyed in this fantastic cottage – all we needed and more! Park the car and forget it – just walk and walk!’

‘Had a wonderful weekend. Accommodation superb. Will definitely be coming back!’

‘As always a lovely journey back to Oatcake. Beautiful cottage. Would love to transport it home if we had Dr. Who’s tardis!’

‘Always a pleasure to visit this beautiful cottage. See you again in the new year!’

‘The cottage is so cosy with everything that we needed.’

‘We love Oatcake Cottage! We are sad to be leaving. We had fun going into Peak Cavern and hiking over the mountain from Castleton to Edale. We recommend the Nags Head for food’

‘What a lovely cottage’

‘A definite highlight of our 5 week UK holiday. We’re the first Australians in this book but definitely won’t be the last – will be recommending Oatcake Cottage to all and sundry.’

‘Great location, walks from the door and a lovely bench in the garden on return.’

‘ Fantastic cottage, amazing views. Did not want to leave – see you next year!’

‘Wonderful cottage – terrific holiday! Lovely village.’

‘Had an excellent time. Good walks, plenty to see and do. Got the blisters to prove it! Great pubs. Lovely cottage – excellent staging post’

‘Lovely cottage, excellent garden and location. View from the terrace is beautiful even in winter!’

‘We couldn’t have wanted for more.’ 

‘ To get away from the cut and thrust,

Castleton is a must,

If its peace and quiet that one seeks,

Then just go walking in the Peaks’

‘A blissful few days away. Just what we needed and the cottage was perfect.’
