Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the property.

The location is generally appreciated for its tranquility and proximity to nature, with easy access to local attractions. However, some guests felt the property was less secluded than advertised.

The majority of guests found the cottage comfortable and peaceful, though a few mentioned it being slightly cramped for larger groups and some issues with heating and wheelchair accessibility.

Facilities are well-regarded, especially for dog walking and the garden, but some guests reported minor maintenance issues and a lack of certain amenities like a washing machine.

While many reviews mention the hosts' thoughtfulness, including welcome gifts such as homemade cake and apple juice, there is not enough information to guarantee such gestures for future guests, thus a score cannot be provided.

    However, I don't think it is fair to advertise this property as a sleeps 6. There was 5 of us staying and 2 of us where children and there was not enough room.

    ). An easy fix and may be down to the cleaner tidying it away. The cleaning could be a little better - corners and curtains could be improved - but overall good. An electric kettle would be a benefit as the one on the induction hob is very slow. On the whole a lovely well equipped property that suited out needs with elderly parents who appreciated the disabled access, shower room, the ground floor bedroom and the lovely setting. We used it for a visit to Trentham gardens - which are very near.
