A rural, quiet location with distant views out of every window. I genuinely wish I could live there. Book with no hesitation.

The host is very friendly. The double bedroom is quite small (the twin is much bigger) and the garden area with picnic table is not directly accessible from the cottage so we didn't feel able to eat al fresco. But those are minor points, overall the cottage is very good, and a great base for visiting the Staffordshiore Moorlands and western edge of the White Peak District.

The location is very handy for getting to Alton Towers and all the surrounding areas to visit. The cottage comes with everything you would need also comfortable get that you have your own garden it was good for our Lhasa Apso dog. Outside at the front door the sun was shining and lovely to watch the sunset sitting on the bench with a glass of wine in hand. Would would highly recommend the cottage.
