Previous Visitors' Comments
The cottage was well situated with easy links to nearby Leek and also to other places of interest, but still fulfilled the criteria for a quiet few days in the countryside.

The property is in an ideal location for a family. There was so much to do and see...

A lovely cottage in excellent decorative order and kept very clean and welcoming. A super location for easy access to Alton Towers etc. As anticipated, the cottage was slightly on the petite side, but certainly more than adequate for the 3 of us, and the quality of the accommodation more than compensated. Very friendly and helpful owners who were sociable and helpful without ever being intrusive. Would book again if returning to the area.

The cottage was converted sympathetically and was good value for money. The owners were very friendly and helpful, even their children were happy playing with our daughter and showing her their horses. We were very impressed by Sykes as a company and have already recomended them to family members.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Dairy and would recommend this, and their other properties to our friends and families. The property was on a crossroads, making it easy to travel in any direction.
