The property is easily accessible and super easy to find, identifiable. It was super easy to park just in front of the cottage. The area is green and you can easily sit on a bench or close to the garden if you want enjoy nature for a while. The cottage is decorated simply and with taste. Some decorations were out for Christmas without it it to be overwhelming. It looks just like on the pictures. A corridor leads you to the main room to the right with an open kitchen, a table for four and a couch with a well connected tv. We were able to watch our favorite Christmas movies on Netflix, Disney and Prime without having to grab our chrome cast. The kitchen was well equiped, with everything you can need to prep a christmas meal. There is no dishwasher but since it's a cottage for two, that's no issue. The host provided new and clean towels. The washing machine was a plus. There also was a vaccuum so you can keep the cottage extra clean. The bathroom is welcoming and the water warm and that's a plus. We have to say it was pretty cold when we got there, just at the beginning of winter and it is great that the host provided small electric radiators to help the place warming up. We were comfortable very quickly and could really appreciate the warmth and calm we needed. The bedroom is on the second floor and it is pretty cozy and comes with another tv we connected with our Chromecast. The bed was comfy and there were enough fluffy duvets to satisfy a whole family. We had quiet nights and could use the widely openable windows to get some fresh air when we needed. We appreciated the little presents the host welcomed us with. About the host, they have been discreet and the contact was easy through the app. The only criticizes we could give is that there was a lack of electric plugs to warm the bathroom and vacuum, and one good size mirror would be convenient downstairs for vain people like me. We however survived happily without it and a big mirror is to be found in the bedroom. We recommend this place to anyone who likes a quiet stay in a green area with everything they may need. The place was super super clean and very welcoming and I highly recommend it !

Thanks for a great stay. We especially loved being able to just cross the road and be in Alton Towers and there are lots of lovely hikes in the area.
