Summary: The cottage was exactly what I was expecting and was reflective of the pictures. I appreciated how kind and descriptive the host was with the check in process and where everything was located. The cottage is only 5 mins away from Alton Towers (which was the main reason we picked this spot) and in a lovely little town only a few mins walk from a grocery store. My only comment would be that the wifi was a bit unreliable.

Summary: Beautiful cottage It was our second stay for my husband and I. Such a beautiful, clean cottage in a lovely village. Just what my husband and I needed a relaxing weekend. Owners responded so quickly to our emails. We booked a table at the bulls head, it was Greek night, nice food. We also visited Rambler's Retreat for breakfast which was very different. Thank you.

Summary: Great place to stay for two single ladies and their two dogs. Very well equipped for humans and dogs and a good location. The Bulls Head pub was a short walk away and served great food and welcomed dogs too. We dodged the showers and had a lovely break.

Summary: We stayed here for 2 nights, the property was welcoming and spotlessly clean. It had all amenities you could ask for in the kitchen and more. The view from the garden terrace and kitchen were amazing and relaxing. The cottage overall was very traditional, but with a slight modern twist, tastefully decorated, it made you feel right at home . The only negative we could find was perhaps the sofa in the lounge was maybe ready for a replacement due to not much support in seating. 2 to 3 miles away there is Churnet Valley which was excellent for walking in all directions with stunning views a must for all walkers. Alton area is just minutes away from views, walks, dog friendly pubs and good eating establishments. I would definitely recommend.

Summary: Exactly the sort of property for a short break. Great to have the patio for friends to join us for breakfast or evening meal. The only problem has been the local roads with no pavement and often crazy drivers. Alton needs speed bumps and controlled crossings. Obviously not in the owners power!

Summary: Lovely cottage with a great breakfast view. Really well equipped - everything we needed, communication from the hosts was great. Stayed 2 nights to break our journey home from our main holiday. Went for a couple of walks at Dimmingsdale and enjoyed super food at the Rambler’s Retreat.
