Fox Bank Cottage

We very much enjoyed our stay at Fox Bank Cottage.

It was in a perfect location for us as only 10 minutes from family but was also perfect for exploring the wider area. The cottage is really well equipped and the garden is lovely and secure for dogs. The walking from the cottage is great as you have the Macclesfield Canal on one side and the Middlewood Way on the other so you can walk for miles without using the car if you wanted to. The welcome pack was a nice touch, the biscuits were delicious. We will definitely return.

This cottage has been beautifully renovated including modern kitchen and bathroom and is very well equipped.

The washing machine with indoor airer and outdoor clothes line can be very handy. There are 3 TVs - in the lounge and both bedrooms. The garden is quite large with a patio area with 2 seats and low table outside the kitchen door and a large picnic table at the far end. The photographs do not do it justice. It is not a manicured garden but is good for wildlife. We had a lovely stay despite some wet weather.

Fox Bank Cottage is a little understated gem - the personal touches made us feel so welcome.

It’s position was perfect for us and the walks straight from the front door were wonderful.

We stayed at Fox Bank Cottage so that we could visit family close by.

We had chosen it as suitable to stay with our two dogs but found someone to look after them instead. We found the cottage comfortable, clean and warm and the garden was great to sit in or to let dogs out . We had everything we needed and we found a bottle of wine in the kitchen and milk in the fridge too. The area nearby is lovely with nearby walks along the canal. The only slight downsides were that the shower was difficult to adjust to the right temperature and splashed on the floor, and the road was without a footpath and too narrow to allow parking. So there was only one space to the front of the house to park a car. To allow our family to visit we had to move our car some distance away. Overall, we liked the cottage very much and had an enjoyable stay. We are even going back to stay in the summer, with our dogs hopefully.

Another lovely stay at Fox Bank Cottage.

We appreciated the improvements to the garden which made it more useable and meant less muddy paws! Will definitely be back.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location, very clean and comfortable, welcome gifts much appreciated, very dog friendly house and garden, everything catered for in the kitchen, highly recommend and we have already booked again.

Really well presented cottage, with everything you would need.

Only downside was that all bed linen was washing in very strong perfumed scented washing powder. This caused me to have an allergic reaction. Please consider not using these products as lots is people find these cause allergies. This did not attract from the cottage and feedback for the owners to consider.

From one Sykes owner to another: Bravo!

The cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable with everything that you would need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would come back again.

Lovely cottage in a good situation to visit local attractions- bonus of having walks literally outside your front door.

Nice touches of food, wine etc on arrival. Only downside is the road outside is far busier than we were expecting.

Lovely cottage in a good location with easy access to the Peak District & Manchester.

Very well equipped.

Lovely cottage great walks along the canal close to all amenities just one issue the back garden could have done with the grass cutting and a general tidy up but apart from that perfect.

Beautiful cottage.

Everything we needed and more. Immaculate and comfortable. Only one car parking space was the only negative.

Delightful cottage for a three night family weekend.

Welcome basket was much appreciated and a personal note added that extra special touch. Watching all the birds that visit the back garden and lovely walks along the canal all made for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Very clean and exceptionally well-equipped cottage which has been newly refurbished.

Lots of character but bright and light. The cottage was warm and welcoming and the personal note, flowers and bottle of wine were nice touches. The position so close to the canal and Middlewood Way was great. Amazing birdsong!

Cottage situated on busy lane therefore traffic noice very noticeable Very poor internet

The internet connection was extremely poor at this property, the owner was informed and an engineer attended a week later, obviously we were no longer there at that point.

The property is situated on a busy lane, the road noise can clearly be heard from inside the house, great care needs to be taken when leaving the driveway due to the traffic. Due to the above, we left the property early.

Cosy, comfortable cottage with everything you could need to enjoy your stay.

Lovely cottage in a great location for us due to visiting family and also walking our hound.

Accommodated 4 of us comfortably. Looking forward to using as a base in the future for family visits.

Lovely relaxed weekend, really nice to see little extras ie welcome basket with wine, milk etc.

love the branding of the cottage name around the cottage. Good location, 40 minutes walk to Bollington via canal path or bridal way. Very dog friendly and secure garden. Will bo booking for next November. Thank you.

Pros: Really cosy!

We loved the fireplace, the cleanliness and the facilities. There was a lovely mix of cottage vibes with the newness of the refurbishment. We would recommend to friends and family. Cons: One of the front steps is a bit wobbly so could be a problem for less able people.

Lovely and cosy cottage with everything you need.

The welcome pack was so thoughtful.

Second time staying at the cottage.

Very comfortable and a great location for visiting family and accessing local walks. Was a lovely place to bring Australian family members to stay. Would highly recommend and hope to return again.

Lovely cottage ,all you need to relax ,spotless throughout,great for walks either on bridleway or canal towpath ,can highly recommend the nearby pub The windmill for food and drinks,hopefully if not booked will return

It's a lovely cottage and we loved the gardens so it would have been nice to have a couple more garden chairs in the back garden near the cottage.

Just to say that the top step in the front garden is a bit wobbly so may need a bit of attention. The only other thing was that the bathroom and bed doors are quite creaky so if anyone is a light sleeper, which my daughter is, they may be woken by someone going to the bathroom.

Cottage was lovely and extremely well equipped,and very welcoming.

Would definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage, the only downside was that it was on a busy road which we were not expecting so it was noisy in the main bedroom with the windows open.

It would be a bit cramped for 4 adults. The position was good for walks along the canal and cycle track and we did a walk from the cottage up to the moors. There were lots of places to visit nearby, we especially liked Jodderel bank.

A true labour of love this cottage with a charming back garden to chill out in.

We loved our stay at Fox Bank Cottage in Adlington.

The cottage had everything we could have wanted and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Being dog friendly was important for us and again everything was provided to ensure a stress free holiday. The location is excellent for access to the Peak District and also the Macclesfield canal and Middlewood way; the walks in the local area are beautiful. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

The property is charming, well appointed and in a great location-good facilities nearby and easy access to the beautiful Peak District.

Especially welcoming to dog owners.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fox Bank Cottage.

The cottage was clean and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed, even down to dog bowls, and the garden was of a very good size and secure for our dog. The location is perfect for easy access to level walks and Bollington with its shops is not far. The nearby Toby Carvery was useful too. We appreciated the welcome pack of milk, crisps and wine - thank you - and the personalised welcome was very thoughtful. We would recommend Fox Bank Cottage and would love to return in the future.

Great location and a lovely cottage.

Property excellent.

One of the best appointed cottages we have ever stayed in. V comfortable beds and large soft towels. Small bath towels are a pet hate of mine! Our only niggle was that the garden fencing was not adequate for a big dog. We improvised by blocking the gates at the bottom of the garden with the garden furniture. If we had not needed to do that it would have been perfect.

Great cottage for our short stay visiting relatives in North Cheshire and Manchester.

The walks along the canal were really lovely. Thank you to the owners for all of the care and attention you obviously take in getting then cottage ready for your guests.

This is the second time I have stayed at Fox Cottage in Bollington.

The position of the cottage sandwiched between the Macc canal and the Middlewood way is idyllic for lovely walks with my dawg. Bollington itself is a 30 min walk into the centre or a 5 min drive for everything you need. The countryside in this area is beautiful. The cottage itself is super cosy, clean and warm. I very much look forward to staying again.

A lovely cosy cottage, with walks from the door and great access to Manchester.

Our 2nd stay at Fox Bank, already booked for next year - thoroughly recommend!

A lovely, cosy cottage in a good location for driving into the Peak District.

The owners have provided some nice personal touches which mean that, although small, the cottage is comfortable for two people. The garden is a good size and very secure for a dog. The proximity of both the canal path and the Middllewood Way, both within a few metres of the cottage, means that dog walks are not a problem.

Had a great 3 nights stay recently, a lovely welcome pack, thank you.

The cottage is in a good location close to many attractions, although walking from doorstep with a pet could be a little precarious with the amount of traffic that runs by. Wi-Fi and the addition of a couple of smart tvs an added bonus, a great enclosed rear garden ideal for the dog. Just a couple of negatives the double bed not the most comfortable due to condition of the mattress, also on departure as I removed the bedding in the twin room I noticed that the mattress was badly stained. If these issues were resolved I would not hesitate in visiting again in the near future. Many thanks Pete……

Good location especially for walking.

Lovely garden. A lot of money has been spent on this cottage but unfortunately not that well equipped - no mirror in main bedroom or bins in any bedroom. No oven gloves, colander or sieve in tge kitchen. The cottage was full of cobwebs and with broken glass in the dishwasher when we arrived which is a shame as it has the makings of a great place.

What a gorgeous cottage in a beautiful setting.

The cottage was well equipped with everything you would require to make your stay enjoyable. We were a family of four and stayed for a few days- wish it could have been longer. The canal is seconds away and other country walks are just on your doorstep. The garden is a great size and our dog loved it, we will definitely return.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location.

Lovely welcome touches like soap, shampoo, chocolates, lager and crisps helped make the stay even more perfect. The garden was perfect for our dogs and the cleanliness of the cottage was excellent, even the towels and bed linen smelled lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Fox Bank Cottage.

Excellent

Lounge layout was a bit odd and twin room was a little cramped but all worked well.

A lovely cottage and well equipped with everything you need, The cottage has been renovated to a high standard, and we fully recommend it.

thank you for the welcome gift. Dogs welcome, and a nice walk along the canal just yards from the house. A++++

In addition to the welcome pack, the owner provided everything needed to feel like a home-from-home.

We appreciated the lack of notices - do this / don't do that - just a beautifully presented family home that, hopefully, holidaymakers respected and enjoyed. We made the most of walks from the cottage but it was also a great base for the Peaks and the city. We hope to return soon!

Hi There, I had a lovely stay at Fox Bank cottage recently the cottage itself is super cozy and inviting.

The wood burner was great for me and my dawg on a wet windy night and the walks were brilliant along the canal and the Middlewood way which were right on the doorstep. ventured up to White Nancy and there are great facilities on the doorstep in Bollington. I would definitely recommend a stay here the Cheshire countryside is beautiful and the cottage a little haven to come back too :) xx

This was our second stay, exactly a year on, and was just as enjoyable as the first.

The cottage has been beautifully renovated and is cosy and clean. It is very conveniently located for us for visiting friends and family, but also a lovely location for going out for walks nearby. We certainly plan to stay again and have recommended it to friends and family for if they are in the area.

Lovely cottage, brilliant location for walking to Bollington and Marple.

Very nice touch with the toiletries, chocolates and other goodies. Well equipped and absolutely as described on the web site.

Fab cosy well equipped cottage.

Walks from the door. Little special touches you don't normally get it a holiday rental. Welcome goodies much appreciated. We have stayed in many many holiday cottages/homes and this one is one of the best.....and we are quite "picky"

Beautiful cottage, very tastefully furnished with everything you need, in a great location for walks and country pubs, we loved our stay and will be back.

Lovely, very cosy cottage, spotlessly clean.

Actually much better than the photos! Recently refurbished to an excellent standard. Thoroughly enjoyed our week there. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous time.

We were made to feel very welcome. The food in the cafe was really excellent and of course the ice cream too. The animals are wonderful and we enjoyed the walks too. We will certainly recommend Blaze Farm to family and friends. The accommodation was very comfortable too.

Lovely cottage in ideal location for walking dogs along the canal and Middlewood Way both just across the road.

All newly refurbished so a pleasure to stay there. The heating was on when we arrived and the welcome basket much appreciated. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at the Fox Bank Cottage!

It's located at a scenic and tranquilising area so that means it's great for a retreat or relaxing holiday. Listening to the crackling and popping sound of the burning woods is the best way to wind down in a chilly evening. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we need if decided to have a night in enjoying home cooked food. A pub is just down the road if want to have something different. However, there are couple of things that might have been overlooked: - the snacks in the welcoming basket have been expired before we moved in or they might have been left from previous clients? - it'd be nice if there are some toiletries available until we manage to get some from the shops and a refill for toilet and kitchen rolls

Lovely place for walking, cycling and running direct from the cottage, without the need for using the car.

Plenty of cafes and pubs in Bollington, selling locally brewed beers, also within walking distance, along the Middlewood Way or Macclesfield Canal.

Really nice property, good location.

The cottage was fully furnished and comfortable and warm!! Lovely hand written note of welcome! Only suggestion would be to turn the mattress occasionally, other than that a lovely stay!!

Lovely cosy cottage, spotlessly clean with fantastic walks straight from the door.

Fox Bank Cottage is tastefully decorated and furnished, retaining period features and is very clean and cosy.

. The location is a perfect base for exploring the beautiful countryside or towns and villages nearby with ample quality shopping and eating places. We had a very enjoyable stay, thank you.

Comfortable and cosy cottage,within easy access to larger towns and attractions,or if you prefer to go for walks they are on your doorstep.

The cottage is spotless with all the amenities you could wish for.Will recommend to family and friends.

This is an excellent property and would have no hesitation in recommending or staying again.

This is one of the best we have stayed in. We love walking in the Peak District and this property meant that we were able to explore the western edges of the area with ease.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a nice quiet area.

The property was very clean and extremely well decorated. Felt so cosy staying there. Views from the property were very nice and there are some nice walks close by. Would 100% recommend the cottage for anyone wanting a quiet break away

Fantastic cottage, lovely location everything we needed for a great weekend away.

Lovely little cottage in a great location, beautifully renovated and presented to a high standard, fitted with all the mod cons whilst retaining much of the original character, also a good sized secure garden to the rear to safely allow your kids or dogs to play in.

As Arnie said, “I’ll be back”
