  • "We were staying in the area as our daughter's second baby was due."

    Goyt cottage could not have been more perfect. Warm and comfortable and everything we needed including a tasty welcome pack for both us and our dog. When we needed to stay some extra nights as baby was more and more overdue both Sykes and the owners could not have been more helpful. It really was a home from home with fabulous facilities on the doorstep too, lovely walks in all directions and high street with everything you could need. Many many thanks , we would be back but my daughter is moving ! Wish we had found you 10 years ago ! We have already recommended you to so many friends and family.

  • "Absolutely loved this place, immaculately presented, the cleanliness was exceptional-just smelled fresh the second you opened the door."

    Well equipped kitchen, high quality throughout and a lovely little welcome hamper. We ate at the Midland one night and Norfolk Arms for Sunday dinner, both nice enough but nowhere near as good as the local chippy or Chinese. Lots of lovely walks nearby and only a short drive to the likes of Bakewell and many nice places. Thank you for a great stay

  • "Such a lovely, well restored and maintained home in a beautiful setting!"

    Exactly as described, with a well supplied kitchen and sweet little garden. We enjoyed exploring Oldknows’ Mill, Brabynt Park, and the locks. The neighborhood shops and pubs are excellent with friendly people. Very convenient to the train as well. I think the only things I would suggest are a non-slip mat for the en-suite shower and maybe some paper towels/serviettes in the kitchen. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

  • "The cottage was in the perfect place, close to shops, pubs ect and a good base to visit places such as Buxton."

    The cottage was very quirky with its low beam upstairs and creaky staircase. The welcome basket was very nice and fresh flower on arrival. If you stay here Liddy's and the Norfolk Arms are a must to visit and defo have a Sunday roast at Norfolk Arms was the best roast we've had in a pub. We would love to stay here again even though the en-suite in larger bedroom was very small. Lovely time had thank you. Sally, Martin, kay and Derek from Northamptonshire.

All credit to the owners who have made this a lovely visit , definitely would love to stay again , Tina and Martin , Sligo , Ireland .

    It’s beautiful and in such a lovely location. I will be back. I did find it a little cold at times in the living room but still a lovely place to stay. Thanks

  • "Beautiful cottage in a stunning location; great place to celebrate the new year."

    Lots of fabulous walks straight from the cottage with the dogs. If it's wet, bring a Mud Daddy (or similar) and plenty of towels with you as the front door opens straight into the living room - we're glad we took ours as it rained every day! Looking forward to returning on another occasion soon.

  • "A delightful, well presented cottage with plenty of character including some low beams , so tall guys watch your heads!"

    The hospitality "welcome" items that greeted us at arrival were a nice touch and much appreciated. On just two minor points, the kitchen-patio door we found difficult to open on occasion when locked and, for an oldie like me, I would have felt a tad safer if a non slip shower mat (and possibly a small shower grab rail on the wall) were provided. These small matters , however, did not detract from a wonderful time enjoyed by both of us and I have no hesitation in giving Goyt Cottage a 5 Star rating.

  • "We love Goyt Cottage, and we love Marple Bridge too."

    We may well book again for a colder month as the cottage has a lovely wood burner, and it will be a lovely cosy place to warm up after a lovely walk in the area. Make sure you visit the Norfolk Arms pub, and you can get some fabulous provisions from Dutton's Deli.

    Hi Donald, We're so glad you enjoyed staying at Goyt Cottage again and we would love to welcome you back anytime! Thanks John and Michelle Property Owner

  • "We really loved this quirky cottage."

    The furnishings and decor were lovely. The kitchen had everything you need for a holiday cottage. The coffee machine was fabulous. The wine and pastries were a lovely touch and milk in the fridge too! The parking was never a problem and the village of Marple Bridge is really lovely. We recommend you try the Fish and Chip Shop which was excellent . The best pub grub we found was just up the eoad in Mellor and called ‘The Devonshire Arms’ the food was lovely and the beer garden was great. We ate at the ‘Midland’ in Marple Bridge which was ok and the ‘Norfolk Arms’ but neither were somewhere we would go to again. ‘Libby’s’ cafe was super with lovely cakes and scones! We walked aling the canal to Romiley which was lovely and got the bus back after a pint! We also wen to ‘Marple’ and had a super meal in ‘The Black Bull’s Head’ which was really great food and super value and a friendly place with brilliant staff. All in all we had a great week away. The weather was a bit rainy but we made the most of the area and also saw our daughter who lives in Stockport and her boyfriend who stayed with us one night at the cottage. The owners were great and helped out with a problem we had straight away. We would hugely recommend ‘Goyt Cottage’ it is well worth a visit. Watch your head though on the wooden beams! All four of us managed to forget and had a bump!!!!!!

  • "A fairy tale cottage in the heart of a bustling village but quiet and peaceful inside!"

    You can walk to shops and restaurants and public transport is close by. It is equipped with everything you need for a lovely holiday, maybe an umbrella is needed as we forgot ours but we survived without…it was very clean and beds are comfortable. The cottage was filled with fresh flowers, a bottle of wine, treats from the local bakery, milk in the fridge and a bag of munchies. Five stars.

After finding roadside parking 100m from the cottage, head into your new home-from-home and make yourself comfortable in the lounge, complete with exposed oak beams, solid oak flooring, original windows and a woodburning stove, boasting a real sense of character.

Continue into the kitchen, complete with limestone flooring and underfloor heating, ample with a range of appliances and granite worktops, so you get straight to work on preparing your favourite home-cooked meals.

Gather in the dining room and to enjoy the fruits of your labour before popping on the dishwasher and heading out to the rear courtyard, benefitting from a south facing aspect with seating and a barbecue.

As the night rolls in, retreat upstairs and find the master king-size bedroom, complete with an en-suite shower room, whilst the second floor has a double bed.

Both bedrooms feature Smart TVs so you can enjoy your favourite series in bed.

Start the day with a morning stroll along the river before heading into the village centre, stopping off at Libby's café for a coffee then heading to Dutsons Deli to grab the essentials for a hearty breakfast.

If you’d prefer to eat out, there’s a host of pubs and restaurants in the village, including the excellent Midland Hotel gastro pub just around the corner from the cottage.

Wander through the vast green spaces of Etherow Country Park and Brabyns Park or join the canal and trek to Disley where you can explore the National Trust owned Lyme Park.

If you crave further outdoor adventure, the Peak District is a short drive away and boasts scenic walks and hikes, including Kinder Scout and Lanter Pike.

Alternatively, if you fancy a change of scenery, just an easy car or train journey away is the bustling city of Manchester is twelve miles away and offers a variety of amusements and attractions, from museums and art galleries to shops and Michelin starred restaurants.
