Guests say
Tranquillity-UK38552 is a well-received cottage praised for its peaceful setting and welcoming hosts. Guests appreciate the clean accommodation, dog-friendly environment, and the thoughtful touches like welcome packs. The location offers beautiful walks and a relaxing atmosphere, though the steep access road is noted. Some guests suggest minor improvements in facilities, but overall experiences are overwhelmingly positive.
Most guests report the cottage as spotlessly clean, contributing to a high cleanliness rating. However, one review mentioning a lack of cleanliness slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently described as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for walks, with easy access to local amenities. The steep walk from the pub is a minor drawback for some.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere and secure outdoor space for dogs. The mention of a need for better saucepans suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-stocked kitchen and secure garden. However, comments about the lack of a washing machine and the need for better cookware indicate some areas could be enhanced.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing welcome packs and extras like dog treats. While these are highly appreciated, guests should note that such gifts, though delightful, are not guaranteed.

Lovely walks are available from the doorstep and access is available to the adjacent field. Please bring suitable footwear some areas may be muddy! Please note that the return walk back is up a steep climb! Further afield the market town of Leek can be reached in a 15-minute drive and offers a lot including a wealth of high street shops and eateries.
The Caldon canal runs close by so is perfect for waterside walks and cycles with maybe a spot of lunch at one of the canal-side pubs on the way. There’s also Rudyard Lake for some water-based activities surrounded by some of the most dramatic scenery to be found in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Thrill-seekers mustn’t miss Britain’s premier theme park Alton Towers which is just a 30-minute drive away, and the location is also just a few miles southwest of the magnificent Peak District National Park. The position is excellent for exploring Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire and is also just 40 minutes from the fascinating market town of Ashbourne with its abundance of eateries and renowned antique shops.

Tranquility is set in a beautiful and very peaceful location. Carolyn and Ade are the perfect hosts with sound and very useful local knowledge. The accommodation is spotlessly clean with all we needed for a perfect weeks stay. We will definitely be booking up again.
