A fantastic property with everything we needed for a relaxing few days break. Excellent location where you can choose either to chill in the peace and quiet of the country like we did, or visit places easily such as Leek and Buxton. Facilities were spot on and really clean. Communication with the hosts was clear and helpful. We would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you Jo and Clive.

Beautiful cottage, inside and out. Secluded rural location but good road links to great walks and surrounding areas. Very responsive host. Welcome wine and cookies was a lovely treat and milk in fridge a nice touch. Be sure to say hi to Jack the very friendly sheep! Would definitely recommend and revisit.

Fabulous cottage tucked away in the moors

Stayed here to visit family in both Stoke on Trent and Bolton and this was roughly in between. Had a wonderful peaceful time here and wished we could have stayed longer. Hope to go back again sometime.

Lovely place to stay in a rural setting. The cottage was cosy and warm, and had everything we needed. The only downside was no wifi, but we had a good phone connection so managed with our hotspot. Jo & Clive were great hosts alwsys available and helpful. It is ideally situated for walk, Buxton, Leek and other peak park towns. Would definitely book it again.
