Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers repeatedly commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, describing it as one of the cleanest cottages they've stayed in, with spotless conditions being a significant highlight.

The property's location is highly praised for its terrific views and proximity to local walks and beauty spots in the Peak District, making it an ideal base for exploration.

Comfort is a standout feature, with guests highlighting the cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and the warm and inviting nature of the cottage, contributing to a relaxing stay.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped and maintained. However, several guests mention the lack of Wi-Fi as a drawback, slightly impacting the score.

While many reviews express gratitude towards the hosts for their warm welcome, there is no specific mention of gifts being provided, so it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness in this context.

About this property

The 'Stables' at Martinslow Farm is a characterful bolt hole perched on the southern edge of the Peak district National Park, just one mile from

the village of Waterhouses. Use this cottage as your cosy base for discovering the breath-taking Peak District, which handily lies on your doorstep. Be welcomed in to the property by the homely double bedroom, decorated in pleasant, neutral colours with stunning wooden beams. It is a comforting spot to get your much-needed rest after an exhausting day of exploring your surroundings on foot or perhaps on two wheels. The bedroom also comes with a convenient en-suite shower room. Step up in to the spacious open-plan living area and be greeted by a modern, stylish kitchen area providing you with lovely countryside views to admire whilst cooking your meals. Take a seat on the comfortable leather sofa, let your hair down and relax with your loved one whilst waiting for your delicious meal to cook. The 'Stables' can also be enjoyed in the summer, sit out on the lawn area and take in the country air with a refreshing glass of wine. Waterhouse area is a delightful area for your holiday with a handful of places to eat drink and shop, as well as excellent access to the surrounding National Park area. Head to the nearby charming towns of Ashbourne (8miles) or Leek (7miles) and take advantage of their wide range of amenities and attractive architecture and for the thrill-seekers, a visit to well known Alton Towers (8mls) is a must. The Churnet Valley Heritage Railway runs from Cheddleton (5miles) to Frogall and the Manifold Valley for walking or cycling is visible one mile distant. The 'Stables' is a lovely cottage betwixt the mysteries of the Staffordshire Moorlands and the fantastic Peak District locations.

Waterhouses lies between Leek and Ashbourne in the Peak National Park. It offers shops, pubs and places to eat. Alton Towers Theme Park is a short drive away. The market town of Ashbourne makes for a delightful day out. The Peak District National Park offers a multitude of walking and cycling opportunities.
