    The only thing that was an issue was no WiFi to stream films and couldn't get DVD player to work downstairs. Wasn't an issue for myself but kids missed it.

    It has all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay and not to far from Alton Towers.

    There’s nothing to report for negative points.

    Perfect location for what we required, excellent property, super cute & private enough! Enjoyed having a whole house to ourselves, was great value for money! Would defo recommend a wee stay here, we wish we had longer.

    I'm afraid I have to mark this stay down somewhat. Very pretty little cottage, well situated. Duvets were like cardboard (not soft and fluffy) didn't have any movement in them. I rather expected there to be some milk in the fridge as they had kindly left coffee, tea and sugar.

    Keys were in the door

    the kids would've loved it if there was wifi but not a huge problem - was actually nice to be away from the internet for a while (our mobile data worked no problem)

    lovely cottage, exactly what we needed. had everything you could need for a short break and was in an excellent condition. hosts helped us with a couple of extra requests

    The only thing I would say I didn’t like was the driveway, the moving slats made us all uncomfortable to be driving across.

    Beautiful country side setting. Comfortable homely feel.

    The stay was spoilt by a night in possibly the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, and I’ve slept in some awful places.

    Beautiful cottage in the heart of Staffordshire. Spotlessly clean and cosy with a lovely garden for sitting out with drinks.

    parking was a bit haphazard with no defined area per cottage, so I was a bit unsure where to park as someone was already parked by our entrance. I was worried I was going to be in the way where I parked. (totally understand you’re not going to mark out spaces on the amazing courtyard though!)

    very spacious, good facilities (the kitchen is the best equipped I’ve seen in a holiday let) really lovely location

    Idyllic property - we would definitely stay again!

    The signal to the property was not great and made ordering a food delivery a bit of a challenge. They had left a little note saying they no longer had Sky and we think this extended to any Wi-Fi as there was none we could access. On the one hand it was nice to be detached from technology but did present a problem when trying to order food and trying to check in with family back home. We didn't really notice until night time that the walls were relatively thin and we could hear the other people in the neighbouring rental property. This ordinarily wouldn't be a problem but at night we were all disturbed by a poorly child crying and coughing through the night as well as banging on the wall to get their parents' attention. As said, if the neighbours are quietly asleep it wouldn't be an issue but unfortunately for us was a bit of a disturbance.

    The property is idyllic - settled in amongst sprawling fields and farmland and the building is so pretty, giving a proper cottage feel. Our friends who haven't really been to the rural north were blown away and loved it in the morning when they could sit and watch a neighbouring shepherd with his flock! The property is warm and has ample room. There were 4 adults in our group and it was perfect. The bedrooms were clean and spacious, one with an en-suite which we didn't expect. An added touch which really helped us was they had a selection of take away menus and had noted on the menus which ones delivered to the property which was super helpful.

    Beds weren’t great, lumpy and creaky. Water pressure in the shower wasn’t great either.

    The cottage was stocked with every single thing you could ever need! Very clean and well organised.
