Gorstead Mill Farm

"The house has everything you can ask for. Very spacious and well maintained."

"We had a lovely holiday in the Peaks at this cottage. The house was as described and had everything we needed for a home away from home. There was ample parking, lots of space for kids to play and adults to chill out, a fantastic dinner table and even an ice machine on the fridge! We did have a problem that previous guests had not warned the owner that the gas had run out for the annexe meaning no heating/hot water in that room. This did get sorted out though eventually. Overall we had a great ..."

"The house was lovely but was unfortunately just off a very busy main road so despite being in the countryside there wasn’t anywhere to go for a run, walk or family cycle. We had some trouble with the heating in the annexe but eventually we were able to sort this following a couple of conversations with the owners and we had a rather serious leak in the living room when it rained but despite that the main house was well appointed, warm, comfortable and cosy."

"What a lovely house Gorsthead Mill Farm is. I would definitely recommend it. Me and my 7 friends stayed here for my 40th birthday weekend and we had an amazing time, in part because of the beautiful house and surroundings. The house had everything we needed (even a slow cooker) and it was warm and comfortable and inviting. The weather was snowing at the time and it was lovely to settle down in front of the log burner and keep warm and cozy. The house is clean, the bedrooms are large and spacious and the beds are pretty comfy too. The bed linen was clean and crisp and the bath towels were soft and fluffy. Perfect. The owner is lovely and makes sure you’re all settled and everything is ok which was really lovely and welcoming. We went to a lovely local pub (the jarvis arms) for Sunday dinner which was delicious. We will definitely book again maybe in the summer or autumn so we can go for long walks round the surrounding areas without our wellies."

"We stayed for a week a Gorsthead Mill Farm and had a truly wonderful time. The house has everything you need and more and so much space. Our kids loved running around. Despite the temperatures outside being close to freezing we were cosy and warm inside. The Log burner wasn't needed but we still put it on most evenings. I would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone looking for either a relaxing weekend or something a bit more energetic as there are numerous walks close by and the scenery is beautiful"

"We booked the house as a surprise 65th birthday (family gathering) and the location, house and facilities did not disappoint! From start to finish we had a fantastic week and couldn't recommend highly enough. Communication with Matt (the owner) was great, emails were quickly answered and they even let us check in early to help us with the surprise - great service! The house is nestled away and although you feel secluded it is easly accessible and you can venture out by car or walking which we took full advantage of. The house has everything you need - the log fire is beautiful, a wonderfully equipped kitchen and plenty of bathrooms. We will certainly come back in the summer months to take advantage of the decked area."

"Really nice cottage, located in great place. Had some problems with heating of the annexe but owner sorted out very promptly and compensated for any inconvenience."

"If you are planning a stay in the Peaks with friends or family then this luxury farmhouse is a great bet. Off the main road with no other property in sight, you are in splendid isolation but just a few minutes (by car) from the pleasant town of Leek. The accommodation is very well equipped, well-kept and with its wood burner (with wood available) in the large lounge, very cosy!"

"Fantastic location and a very beautiful house for a large group. Highly recommended. Thanks to the owners for making our holiday so enjoyable."

"This was an exceptional property. We had a fabulous time, I hope we will be able to come again. Thank you"

"This farmhouse is in a great location to explore the surrounding area with all essential amenities nearby in Leek. It was lovely to stay somewhere that provided plenty of glasses, plates and cutlery etc. The wood-burner was a nice treat to sit around in the evenings and we all enjoyed playing some of the board games available to use. We had a problem with the main oven not working but Matt the owner tried his best to sort it out for us. Chatsworth house is within a reasonable travelling distance and we spent a lovely day there exploring both house and gardens - well worth a visit especially if it is a sunny day as the views are amazing."

"Our family stayed here for a week while touring this area of the country and we loved it. It has the country get-away feeling of being surrounded by nature while being close enough to main roads that it's easy to travel about and also is very convenient drive to Leek for food, drink, and shopping. The house is beautiful yet comfortable, spacious, and had everything we needed. The kitchen and dining area are wonderfully sized for families/groups who want to visit over meals together. I think you will be very pleased with your stay here!"

"The owners were helpful and considerate, communicating with us over issues with the heating and boiler. Which overall didn't spoil the stay we had in lovely area."

"Brilliant holiday, well described, met everything we wanted. Really happy an would stay there again."

"What a fantastic stay we had at Gorsthead! It has everything you could ever want or need for a getaway break. The kitchen is so spacious and brilliant for cooking up a big meal for everyone. We also enjoyed coming back and putting on the log burner fire after an afternoon out. All the bedrooms are spacious and the garage room is fantastic. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it."
