Pipistrelle

This place really hit the spot- clean, comfortable with everything you need during your stay.

The accommodation is very well thought out. The welcome pack was a lovely treat to arrive to and do thoughtful. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a stay!

We enjoyed our break very much, the farm had some interesting features, the goats were an entertainment and willing players if given their favorite ginger biscuits, and the duck pond with water lily's in bloom giving a peaceful atmosphere.

The first thing we noticed it was quiet no traffic noise just bird song. the owners were very helpful and the accommodation first class. highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful barn conversion.

We were a family of 4 travelling with 2 older teenagers and there was plenty of space for us. The outside space and hot tub was brilliant even though the weather during the week we were there was not the greatest. Immaculately clean. The only very small negative was the directions to find the property were a bit vague and could do with the final left turn being more clearly identified. However this made no difference to the quality of the accommodation or the peace of our stay. Feeding the goats every morning was a highlight of our week!

We loved our stay at Pipistrelle.

Great setting, friendly owners (and goats!). Lots to do and see and explore for kids. We’ll definitely be using it as our base for future UK trips

Lovely property with really nice owners.

The goats are a real pick you up, they do love their ginger nuts. I think they had three packets during the week. The property is extremely well prepared and will jot disappoint.

Absolutely outstanding.

What a lovely property.

Well equipped, clean and beautifully decorated. The hot tub was amazing as was the provision of extra towels for the hot tub and a heated towel rail to dry them. An added extra was the goats over the fence and the biscuits provided to feed them… also an amazing array of food and drink as a welcome gift. Even though we were on a working farm, this did not impact on our stay and we only saw the owners once before we left and didn’t see the other guests at all.

Perfect and extremely comfortable base.

This holiday let has a well equipped kitchen as well as all the little things like: washing up liquid, dishwasher and laundry tablets. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Plenty of towels and separate hot tub towels. Hairdryer and hangers. There was a generous welcome basket. We loved watching and feeding the goats with gingernut biscuits at the rear of the property. Lovely friendly and welcoming hosts

Really excellent accommodation, well thought out and spacious.

First class facilities from the hot tub outside to large very soft towels and a welcome pack of milk, eggs, hot drinks & prosecco. There is a field with friendly goats behind the property. Will definitely stay again.

we had a fabulous stay in this "high end specification" barn conversion.

Phil and Clare were brilliant hosts welcoming us to their lovely family haven.

We had a wonderful stay at Pipistrelle.

The property was extremely well cleaned and maintained, well equipped and perfectly situated. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We loved the goats and the hot tub and were touched by the plant-based welcome pack left for my family. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again!

This was our second visit to this lovely cottage.

Perfect in every way. Hot tub was great after a busy day exploring the local area.The welcome pack was great too

The property was fabulous, spotless, very comfortable and had everything we needed.

The welcome pack was brilliant and very thoughtful. It was in a good location for visiting lots of interesting places and was so nice to come back to the hot tub for a relax after a day out. We definitely recommend this property for a great stay.

Luxury accommodation; everything clean and tidy with modern fixtures and fittings.

Hosts very friendly and attentive and a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Private rear garden with own hot tub and view of playful goats in the field.

What a fantastic little gem!

The cottage is lovely, well equipped, clean and had everything you could possibly need. The hot tub is great! Location is great! Owners friendly and helpful, they also left us a lovely welcome package with some essentials and treats

Property clean, tidy and very comfortable.

Hot tub very good and private. Owners are very friendly and welcoming and the welcome pack in property is a lovely touch. Highly recommend.

Lovely holiday cottage that was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained.

An added 'extra' - the delightful goats at the end of the garden! They were so cute and perfect if you have children! The place was very well equipped, though perhaps could have done with a few more instructions on things, i.e how to work the blind in the second bedroom; which bin to use for the different types of rubbish etc. Then again, with the lovely, friendly owners right there, it was always easy to ask about such things! All in all, this is a holiday cottage to thoroughly recommend and would be perfect in the summer months.

Gorgeous well equipped cottage.

The hot tub is such a nice bonus. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fantastic little place, loved everything about it, the hot tub was amazing (and I now want one at home!

), the goats were cute and it was fun giving them biscuits in the morning. The little extras on arrival were very much appreciated. Would love to come back at some point in the future.

Lovely cottage

We had a fantastic stay.

The accommodation was beautiful and the family was extremely friendly and helpful. The welcome pack was very generous and very much appreciated.We loved feeding the goats and the fresh eggs from the chickens were amazing. Thank you so much to you all.

We had a fabulous stay, property well equipped and very clean.

Amazing welcome basket when we arrived, hot tub maintained everyday and the goats over the garden fence are lovely! We will definitely be back!

Lovely holiday cottage very clean, comfortable and great location, fantastic welcome pack, enjoyed the surroundings and feeding the goats.

The only thing I would say would be clearer signage to the property.

Other than this everything was excellent one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. They have thought of everything

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Pipistrelle holiday cottage, and I must say, the experience exceeded all our expectations.

From the moment we stepped through the door, it was evident that the accommodation was outstanding. My wife and I tend to bring everything with us when traveling to holiday rentals, but at Pipistrelle, we needn't have bothered. These hosts have truly thought of everything, leaving us feeling utterly pampered. The welcome gifts were a delightful surprise, setting the tone for our stay. Moreover, the standard of the cottage itself was exceptional. In fact, I can confidently say that this cottage is the best we have ever rented. It's fully equipped with every amenity imaginable, from the luxurious underfloor heating to the convenience of TVs in both bedrooms. And let's not forget the highlight of our stay – the wonderful hot tub in the back garden, which provided the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. One aspect that particularly impressed us was the cleanliness of the cottage. It was spotless upon our arrival, a testament to the care and attention to detail of the hosts. Honestly, we struggled to find anything to criticize. If I had to nitpick, the only thing I would change is the ability to transport the entire cottage to Scotland with us. That's how much we loved it! Overall, our experience at Pipistrelle holiday cottage was nothing short of magical. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable getaway. Huge thanks to the hosts for creating such a haven of relaxation and luxury. We can't wait to return!

The accomodation is set in a very beautiful and serene area.

The weather was wet most of the time that we were on our holiday so the comforts of this accommodation helped us keep warm and the facilities provided were everything we needed for a lovely holiday away from home. There were several family games left on the shelf to keep us busy in the evening too. The hot tub helped to warm up after a cold day outside. The welcome package provided by the owners was a huge bonus. How generous of the owners to go out of their way to provide numerous treats for both the grownups and the children in the family; a big thank you to them for their very warm welcome. The goats in their paddock adjoining the backyard were a pleasant sight every morning; the children loved interacting with them. We would definitely visit again.

Fabulous little cottage, which was warm and cosy and immaculately clean.

With added bonus of hot tub and friendly goats in the next field. Situated in the countryside but so near plenty of attractions. i.e. Biddulph gardens NT, Buxton and Peak District, Churnet valley railway, Denby Factory ( booked tour recommended) As well as central Stoke with all its shops and potteries. The owners were nearby and very friendly and helpful if needed but didn’t intrude. Two bedrooms each with en suite facilities made this a perfect stay for two couples. Highly recommended.

A perfect place to relax - clean, tidy, well appointed, and quiet (these are important aspects for us).

The owners were available for assistance but were not intrusive. For all these reasons I would stay again in this delightful accommodation. The rural location requires your own transportation to get groceries/supplies but short trips to Tesco are always a treat for Canadians!

This was a carefully and lovingly converted Barn.

The owners have clearly understood the needs of guests by providing relevant quality fixtures and fittungs. The en suites were particularly well appointed, and under-floor heating throughout kept the cottage cosy. Nowadays, we never go anywhere without a hottub! Another bonus was that both rooms were doubles, so no need to toss for the twin-bedded!!! The owners were lovely. Even with a full compliment of extended family of their own, they still invited us over for midnight fireworks at New Year.

A lovely cottage .

Comfy and immaculately clean . We had everything that we needed . Situated in a peaceful location - and we enjoyed relaxing there - but also convenient for visiting local attractions . The owners were also very helpful .

This property is the best that we have ever stayed in we wanted for nothing everything was spotless plenty of towels supplied even for the hot tub also a nice little hamper on arrival and all cleaning supplies really great hostesses

Perfect cottage spotless ,10/10

Absolutely fantastic holiday let, everything felt brand new and very cosy.

The hot tub was a big bonus out children loved it and was nice for us once they were ticked up in bed to relax and have a glass of champagne, generously given by the hosts along side a welcome pack which included an assortment of snacks and some eggs laid by there own chickens. The kids loved saying hello to the goats from the back garden every morning too. I recommend this to anyone, and we will definitely come back again.

Really enjoyed our stay at the cottage; it was ideal for what we wanted.

It was well presented and probably the cleanest accommodation we have ever stayed in! Very impressed overall and would highly recommend.

Our two week stay in Pipistrelle was fabulous!

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities that you could wish for. We have booked holidays with Sykes for many years and I can honestly say that this is the best property that we have ever stayed in. The owners are extremely helpful and nothing is too much bother. The welcome pack was a great surprise and the hot tub is just wonderful! There are lots of places to visit in the area too so no chance of being bored!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pipistrelle.

Everything we needed was included, lovely welcome pack on our arrival and exceptionally clean property. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Lovely accommodation well equipped and to have the welcome pack and kitchen cleaning things a brilliant bonus.

Peaceful location and some nice walks nearby. Hot tub was also great with great views of the little goat's.

The photos online do not do Pipistrelle justice.

It was so clean,amazingly well equipped and the goats were very amusing. This is the nicest holiday home we have stayed at. The welcome basket came with chocolates, biscuits, tea, coffee, freshly laid eggs, milk, cheese Staffordshire oatcakes and prosecco. Such a lovely touch by the owners.

Really lovely property had everything you needed.

Very peaceful place. Hot tub was great and bbq. Had a great time even though it rained most of the week, will go back again. Owner put a bottle of wine, crisps, biscuits, milk, oatcake and cheese

An incredible accommodation.

Very spacious, immaculately clean and in a beautiful location. A really thoughtful welcome gift from the very kind owners who were able to help instantly with any queries. This place has everything!

A few welcome essentials and treats were there for us on our arrival and we were warmly greeted by the host.

The property was spotless! Simple in design and spacious airy rooms with high ceilings! Facilities were as new with every need catered for. Lovely kitchen with quality appliances and the bathrooms with powerful hot showers! We are not normally fans of wet rooms but these were of a good design and with the underfloor heating dried floors quite quickly! The hot tub was that extra special addition which just made the stay even more fun and relaxing! Excellent location! Hidden away yet easy access to shops, pubs and restaurants. The friendly goats in the field at the back provided their own bit of entertainment! . Overall simply a lovely stay and to be recommended.

This was a lovely place to stay with excellent facilities.

We appreciated the spotlessly clean cottage with a well appreciated welcome package and we loved the hot tub. It proved to be an ideal place to meet up with family that we hadn't seen for a while and gave us nice comfortable evenings for a chat and catch up followed by a good nights sleep in nice comfortable beds. A lovely quiet location. Thank you

It was just as pictured….

. beautiful, peaceful and extremely clean. The little extra touches too like milk, cheese & bottle of fizz were much appreciated! Would definitely visit again.

Absolutely fab weekend with girlfriends.

Extremely relaxing and comfy space made all the more enjoyable having the goats as entertainment !

We had a fantastic week at Pipistrelle!

The cottage is immaculately clean, well presented and there was a fab welcome pack waiting for us. There is a lovely garden area with BBQ and seating where you can watch the goats playing (they are really friendly and our girls talked to them a lot!) and the hot tub is amazing - again really clean and well maintained ... perfect to relax in. There is plenty to do and see within the local area and also access to shops and places to eat. The owners were on hand if needed and were lovely with our girls who enjoyed visiting their chickens and the ducks. We would highly recommend to families or couples. Thank you for a wonderful week!

A first class cottage in every way.

The welcome tray was full of goodies, including home produced eggs, comfortable beds , a super hot tub and the goats behind. Who could ask for anything more ? A relative of mine booked the cottage for us as we live in Virginia , USA . How lucky we were!

We had a really lovely stay.

The accommodation was spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was amazing. The hosts were very friendly and we would definitely recommend and would love to stay there again.

A well equipped and comfortable property.

Hosts were friendly and quick to respond to questions we had. Property ideally situated for exploring the area.

Clare and Phil were such lovely and welcoming hosts.

We felt at ease in this wonderful property for our new year’s getaway and enjoyed the hot tub! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

We had a great stay here at Christmas.

Lovely clean place, well equipped. We enjoyed all the yummy welcome treats and fresh laid eggs. The hot tub is brilliant - clean & well maintained. The owners showed great hospitality and all the family were very welcoming.

A beautiful cottage set in a stunning and peaceful location .

Felt at home straight away and felt very welcomed by our hosts. The cottage is luxurious and kept to a very high standard. The hot tub is a nice touch and a good way to relax and unwind after a day out and about. We loved staying at Pipistrelle and we will definitely book again.

Absolutely amazing in every way.

When we arrived at Pipistrelle the first impression was it looked very nice indeed however, when we went inside and saw what greeted us, we were absolutely blown away by everything.

The place was spotless, inviting and the welcome pack was the best we had ever seen. Everything you could need, and probably more was provided, I cannot praise the cottage and everything enough. We will definitely return.

An amazing get away in such lovely settings the best place I've stopped in so so clean

We had such a lovely week at Pipistrelle

Excellent quality, clean and well equipped.

Very friendly hosts and enjoyed meeting the goats!

Just returned from Pipistrelle after a lovely weeks holiday with our two friends.

I cannot recommend this barn conversion enough, it was absolutely stunning, and the two owners Phil and Claire and their family could not have been more welcoming. There was everything provided for us that we could possibly need for our weeks stay, even a welcome pack which was over and above anything else we have ever received. We will definitely be returning next year….it can’t come soon enough. Jennie and Mike from Bournemouth….12/8/22 - 19/8/22

Lovely holiday - cottage was just fabulous, everything spotless and very thoughtful welcome pack.

We loved the hot tub and the goats. So much to do and see in the local area - we had a fab time.

This is a lovely place, very clean an the added benefit of a hot tub was great after the long days out .

The substantial welcome pack the owner provided wasn’t expected but was appreciated and a really nice touch.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a godsend after 2 long days at Alton Towers and the Welcome pack was a lovely and thoughtful surprise. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area.

The cottage was exactly as advertised and very comfortable.

We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day of sightseeing. The welcome pack was excellent and thoughtful. We were introduced to Derbyshire oatcakes which we enjoyed. The goats in the back paddock were most entertaining and appreciated our gingernut biscuits. We only had to touch the back door and they were at the fence!

My husband & I took my mobility challenged brother here for a long weekend.

We were thrilled with the high quality & stylishness of all facilities. We parked right outside front door, so we’d carried our bags & supplies inside & were unpacked & relaxed within minutes! Everywhere was spotless, hot tub was amazing as was our outdoor space. 100% we’ll return. Lovely peaceful break!❤️

Pipistrelle is in a beautiful and peaceful setting on the outskirts of Blythe Bridge.

The hosts and their family members were kind, friendly, informative and helpful. The property has a high standard finish, is very comfortable and with all mod cons. The towels were fluffy and the beds very comfortable. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and enjoyed by us all. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. 5* from us. Thank You

We had such a wonderful stay at Pipistrelle, Beautiful barn conversion and hot tub.

Lovely welcome goodies when arriving and all the essentials we needed was provided for. Perfect for a quiet relaxing break, We would definitely return.

This was a very well designed holiday cottage, with all the equipment needed.

The holiday treat tray was overflowing with goodies to welcome us to Blythe Bridge. It is very well placed for exploring, and for visiting the numerous National Trust/English Heritage properties. Then to come back to a well maintained Hot Tub was delightful. This is certainly one holiday cottage that we will return to.

Pipistrelle is a beautiful barn conversion in a lovely setting.

Everything we needed was provided for, including a very generous welcome pack. The place was exceptionally clean and the hot tub was amazing. It was very quiet and ideal for a relaxing break.
