Set in a lovely countryside location the charming village of Rudyard boasts an interesting claim to fame. Alice Macdonald and her fiancé Lockwood Kipling met on the shores of the nearby lake and so decided to name their first-born son after the place. Rudyard Kipling, born in 1865 went on to become a world renowned poet, novelist and short story writer. As well as this fateful lake, the Staffordshire village boasts excellent picnic spots, boating, walking and fishing opportunities as well as the steam railway. The thriving town of Leek is nearby and offers a variety of good pubs and restaurants as well as many antique shops. The beautiful Manifold Valley offers further walking opportunities with the "Manifold Trail" an excellent route through superb scenery for walkers and cyclists.

"From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the owner Farmer Robert Lowe we just had a feeling that this would be an outstanding holiday. The cottage was just charming though quite small, 'bijou' in fact, but that did not detract from it's charm.Mr Lowe showed us round and ensured that we had everything we needed, then told us that we could go anywhere on the farm that took our fancy, we could not imagine that we would need anything in addition to what was in the cottage, it was extremely ..."
"A wonderful location on a working farm, with great views both in the distance and also immediately outside the cottage, where there are hens, a cat and a couple of dogs all wandering around, together with a multitude of birds using the bird feeder. Inside the cottage had everything we needed. All the family were very friendly. The only minor drawback was the poor WiFi and internet signal (which we knew about in advance.)"

"An excellent, well equipped cottage in a delightful position. The owners were helpful and friendly. One of the best cottages we have ever rented from you."
"A very clean well presentable cottage in a beautiful setting, there was lots to see and visit in area and nothing was too much trouble for the owners, who were helpful but not intrusive."
"Made very welcome by members of the family who owned the property. Lovely cosy cottage with good amenities."
"The best holiday Cottage I've ever been in and I have recommended it to many friends."
"The cottage is in a perfect setting and location. It is exceptionally well equipped with everything (and more) we could possibly have needed for a 'home away from home' stay in a warm and comfortable holiday home. The owners are only too happy to help with anything and made our stay a very happy one! We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to get away from their busy lives as you can completely unwind, get away from it all and enjoy the countryside experience."
"Welcoming hosts. Lovely location."
"Owner is an excellent host. Nothing is too much trouble. "
"The owners who live on the working farm were so welcoming. The real plus of this compact cottage is the access to the animals, we saw lambs being born and it's a dream for anyone wanting to see farming in action."
"Cosy, comfortable, well-equipped cottage which was far superior in every way to other properties we've previously rented. Beautiful location with lots of interesting places to visit locally without having to spend a lot of money. Friendly, welcoming owners who made sure we had everything we needed. We were allowed to watch lambing and there were lots of interesting birds which were attracted to the bird feeders near the patio. Weather was good too. We all had a great time."
