    No downstairs loo - could be a problem for some and the stair steps are higher than normal. We managed fine.

    Everything needed was provided for people arriving without shopping - a nice welcome.

    There is very little to dislike. My Mother who is 89 found the steep stairs a little difficult, but this is not a negative about the property.

    Well appointed and well equipped. Very comfortable stay.

    It had really creaky floors which is to be expected in a property this age and there's nothing to be done about it, but it meant once one person was up, everyone was up

    Lovely little cottage, well equipped, but most importantly it was really comfortable. Comfy beds, comfy sofa, comfy chairs. Somewhere we could really relax. We didn't meet Phil, but he communicated well throughout and was very helpful. The breakfast supplies in the fridge were a lovely touch. Don't miss the white hart in the village. Fabulous food

    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.
