    Nothing.

    Lovely quaint cottage. Clean, well equipped, easy check in. Space to park. We didn't use the log burner but I can imagine how lovely and cosy it would have been to sit by the fire for the evening.

    Rosie and Stuart made everything possible and beyond for us to enjoy or stay. The location is superb close to lakes above the farm and spectacular views as well exploring the Roaches. We enjoyed seeing the farms cows and some babies. The 4 dogs and 3 cats really added to our fabulous experience. There was also a cute pub just a few minutes walk from the farm. Perfect location and host. Thank you guys

    The only point worth raising was that (due to the property being on a farm) there was quite a bit of noise from the cows and dogs! It wasn’t a huge issue and possibly only recognised as we slept with the windows open, but worth a mention!

    The old stable was perfect for us! The location was great, it was extremely well equipped and the hosts were very friendly. We were even provided with logs and firelighters to use the log burner which was very cosy. Beds really comfortable and the house was so clean and tidy! Really enjoyed our stay, felt right at home and wished we could have stayed longer.

    The only very very minor thing is the tin on the bathroom wall, such a cute decor but hit my head on the bottom handle spitting my toothpaste out. Could also just be me...

    Great location for exploring the roaches, Leek isn't too far either. Farm easy to find, hosts sent clear messages beforehand. Gorgeous dogs roaming on site, saying hello and coming for a pet, was lovely to see them playing. House was very clean and welcoming. It's a little chilly inside, but we didn't feel the need for the log fire, just a jumper. The bed was also very warm, I personally don't enjoy memory foam mattresses so that was my only complaint, still slept well!

    It was cold when the fire wasn’t on (great British weather doesn’t help!) but it didn’t ruin our stay.

    The friendly welcome of the lovely lady and her wonderful dogs. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed for our stay.

    Nothing, everything that we needed was a phone call or text away so there were no issues at all

    I absolutely loved the rural setting, the house was so cosy with the log fire and it felt like a proper switch off holiday. The house has everything you need, we cooked and ordered a takeaway. The farm is easy to find, you feel safe surrounded by gorgeous land. The owners are really kind and anything you need they are happy to help very speedily! Plus my doggos loved it!

    Everything was wonderful. I just struggled to get the water the correct temperature sometimes.

    Lovely farm setting. Comfortable and very well equipped cottage. Great location for Alton Towers and other nearby attractions. WiFi brilliant with access to Netflix and other streaming services. Our girls absolutely loved the friendly dogs who greeted us on arrival. We also enjoyed seeing the cows.
