    property has everything you need as a home away from home, and the hosts were always helpful. so many places are missing things that need a trip to the supermarket, but here everything was ready and in place

    Fabulous, cosy cottage situated within the grounds of Grotton Hall, adjacent to a dairy farm. Open fire to the lounge/diner with comfortable seating and a dinner table for four. Patio doors overlooking extensive views. Kitchen has everything needed for self-catering, including a lovely welcome pack. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept like logs. Ian and Sylvia are the most welcoming and helpful of hosts and very knowledgeable upon the area. It was a pleasure to meet them. A five minute walk to the wonderful White Hart Inn for a quick pint or sumptuous meal with a very warm welcome. The cottage is perfect for exploring the Saddleworth moors and all the villages and eateries they have to offer. Saddleworth Golf Club and Dovestone sailing club are a 5 to 10 minute drive away also. I would definitely recommend the cottage and we have already booked our next trip!

    No complaints. I would recommend having a small brush and shovel for the hearth as this would have made cleaning it easier.

    Having be brought up in the area in the 1950's-1980's I knew where the hall was. However I only remembered it behind large Gates. The present owners have improved it and it is delightful. The cottage its self is small but has every thing you need. Plenty of hot water, towels, kitchen equipment, dish washer large (ish) bathroom. My brothers visited while we were there and they were also impressed by the Hall itself and the grounds. A lovely touch was that they had provided local milk, bread, butter and fresh orange juice in the fridge. I was even able to have a log fire in the evening. The owner even helped me with my laptop. Overall a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

    The stairs are very steep which may pose problems for some people. Also access to the main bedroom is via the bathroom. Not a problem for us a couple but could be if staying with friends

    Excellent location and free, secure and easy parking. Convenient for motorway links and public transport. The property is in a fabulous location. This was our second stay and we have already booked our third. The property is a lovely blend of modern and old which we love. Phil, our host was great to communicate with which is always good. The shower is great too. We were left some lovely, welcome breakfast goodies which was a nice touch. However, the biggest plus for me was the addition of an electric blanket!

    No negatives. Everything was great.

    Fantastic little cottage. We had a wonderful two night stay. Lovely to arrive and find a bread, milk, butter, jam and juice for us. Lovely touch. Cottage is super cosy and warm. Really comfortable with everything you need. I was slightly obsessed with the huge and powerful shower! Welcome folder with info. Owner came to say hello and check if we needed anything. They live on the grounds but totally unobtrusive. Easy 5 minute walk down to local pub for drinks and dinner. Co op supermarket within 5 minutes drive. We visited Uppermill for a lovely autumn walk. A real little gem. Would definitely go back.

    We have no complaints about the property.

    It was cosy and secluded. We loved the way the cottage had been decorated and furnished. The beds and bed linens were very comfortable. It was clean and tidy and we had everything we needed. There had been breakfast items left in the fridge for our use which was a nice gesture. We were welcomed on the day of our arrival to make sure everything was okay and again by the owner during our stay.

    The tv reception was extremely poor. The stairs were very steep. Access to the main bedroom was through the shower room - ok for a couple or family of 4.

    The location was convenient yet quiet and secluded. It had all of the kitchen items we required. The owners had left some basics for us in the fridge.

    The cottage was much smaller than we anticipated for four adults to comfortably stay. The mobile signal and TV signal was quite poor. This may have been more to do with the weather at that time and out of the control of the hosts.

    Location was great for what we needed during our weekend stay. The facilities available at the home everything was thought of with clear instructions. The lovely gesture of the basics tea, coffee, milk with bread, butter and jam available on arrival. Would recommend the property to others as it was easily accessible and secure.

    Not applicable.

    The location is charming and atmospheric, something to do with the age of the cottage and it’s history and location adjacent to the Hall. It’s quiet secure and peaceful.

    We didn't realise the bathroom had to be walked through to get to one of the bedrooms - made for a funny code system to avoid walking in on someone in the bathroom!

    Lovely little cottage with good kitchen facilities and comfy living areas. We stayed for two nights for a local wedding, and it was really easy to check in and hosts were responsive. Kitchen was well equipped for breakfast and lovely touches such a milk and bread to keep us going. We had a good nights sleep and enjoyed our stay.
