Hawksbridge Bungalow

A lovely bungalow with good facilities.

The kitchen equipment was great and had been well thought through. The bathroom (especially the shower) was great. The bungalow was warm, welcoming and spacious for a family holiday. It was unfortunate that the WiFi wasn't great, but we knew that when we booked. Just meant it was difficult to stream films, but if you're happy with TV then no problem. The games room was a real bonus, could do with a couple of new snooker cues. My only downside was the bedding. I'm not keen on polycotton, preferring cotton. But a small issue, and easily solved by taking your own bedding if this will be an issue. Overall we loved it and had a fab week exploring the area. We would visit again

Fantastic place to stay nice & peaceful beautiful scenery everything that was needed was there warm & comfortable great place for a get away from the hassle.

Only one suggestion it wasn't a big problem for me but when heavy rain is that you get a soaking while opening the key safe the guttering joints above the key safe need looking into

We had a delightful stay at Hawksbridge bungalow.

It was really peaceful. There is a working farm just next door and we barely heard any noise. It was great to see the comings and goings of farm life. A highlight being the lambs at every window! We will definitely be back. Thank you for having us.

We were overwhelmed with this beautiful bungalow.

So spacious, clean and tasteful. Stunning views from each window and lovely to sit outside in the sun on all sides. It was hard to believe we were so close to a working farm as there was no noise. We can't recommend this highly enough!

Since our holiday, support from Sykes has been good but issues raised by me have not been responded to by the property owner nor have they responded to Sykes so I assume they still exist.

Photos are deceptive with no reference to the industrial unit to the front of the property. There is no shower above the bath. There is no basin in the cloakroom. None of the garden is secure allowing farm dogs to enter leaving their mess behind at will, not good if you have children with you. The bath and shower cubicle do not have none slip mats and care is needed when using them as they became very slippery, no grab handles to bath, very difficult for older persons. Heated towel rail not working. Insufficient hand rails to wide back step, difficult access for persons using walking sticks etc. Fire blanket hidden in kitchen by door. Very dissapointing stay.

This property was cosy and comfortable providing all our needs in a spacious environment.

The owners were very friendly and helpful and Lucy our dog enjoyed the walks from the property which provided stunning scenery.

We loved staying in the bungalow.

It's a great place to relax away from our busy lives. We will be definitely be booking again.

Lovely place to stay.

Nice and spacious and relaxing to come back to after a day out.

Disgraceful week.

Upon arrival we had to wash the bedding as the smell of damp and BO was horrendous. We fully appreciated we were staying on a farm and so anticipated the smells etc however, a fly infestation inside the bungalow is not what we booked. You couldn't even sit at night without them buzzing around your head and all over your food. If you take a dog, youre encouraged to keep it on a lead, yet the farm dog runs riot all over the property and leaves its excrement all over the grass, where children play. Shower temp is unreliable, going from freezing to boiling with no option to prevent this. Scalded our 5 year old. The property was also not cleaned to a high standard and dog hairs were left from previous occupier.

We had a beautiful holiday in this most beautiful area in England.

The surrounding area and scenery are just breathtaking. There is loads to do for adults and children alike. The garden of the bungalow is perfect and well looked after. The kids loved the sheep and cows, and they were a constant entertainment. The inside of the bungalow is very cosy and a real farm holiday. This has been our second time here and some things need to be improved. The mattresses need a desperate upgrade as, and the doors of both toilets need some new locks installed as they are impossible to lock. We just felt that the bungalow was in need of some TLC.

One of the best properties to stay in.

Very comfortable with plenty of room. Although this is a working farm there is no noise or disruption just great views and lovely to see the cows and calves and sheep. Really good facilities even comes with a snooker table in the games room. My family of six as well as the dog were very happy with the location and the property. I would 100 percent recommend this property.

this cottage was all i could wish for havingmobility problems all on flat level wide doorways a spacious bath and shower room allthe rooms suited me down to the gound the seating was excellent the beds ve rry comfortable well done you made our holiday perfect many thanks

Beautifully positioned and extremely comfortable cottage.

Pillows and bed were so comfortable. Well kitted out with everything you could need to cook dinner Absolutely no complaints and would definitely return

Really well stocked for cooking, lots of comfy blankets, heating worked really well.

Great size and space. Loved having the log burner and boys had fun in the games room. Tea, coffee etc and biscuits on arrival a lovely treat thank you.

Had a lovely week in the bungalow.

It had everything we needed. We made sure we picked up after our dog, but the owners dog appeared a couple of times and left deposits. Not fair for us to have to look after their dog poo as well. That said, we never met the owners o explain. Overall, a nice break away.

We had a fantastic week in this lovely bungalow.

The rooms are huge and welcoming. The lounge was very warm when the log burner was lit and it was a great treat for us especially as the mist and fog rolled in. As advertised the WiFi and phone signal is poor but we managed without it. We did end up using the dishwasher twice a day as there were 8 settings for crockery and cutlery..again not a problem if we remembered to switch it on. Beautiful surrounding area, great walks and very few people to be seen ..just ideal

The accomodation was fine apart from the lack of internet which the details stated that it had.

The internet was virtually non existent and had I known this on looking to book a property then I would have looked elsewhere. The TV that is described as a Smart TV needs internet to act as such. Bearing in mind that the evenings were drawing in and weather turned out to be crap, then it spoiled our week away. I couldnt even use my laptop to browse or our phones as there was also poor phone signal. The landlady tried her best but you cant recify what isnt there. On arriving home I spoke to Sykes Cottages but they were no help and just stopped replying to me. My advice to them and to the owner either improve the internet or explain the facts on the site. As it stands it is blatant misrepresentation of the facts. Anybody considering booking this property and needs internet access then dont. Book somewhere else but if its through Sykes Cottages dont expect any help or redress from them. My advice is use another company

Very comfortable, clean and spacious bungalow but interior could be updated.

It was very useful to have the utility room to enter where you can take off your shoes and coats. We found it very quiet by the bungalow although there are probably busy times on the working farm when there may be more tractors and cars using the farm lane. The garden was not fully enclosed, something which could easily be remedied by a gate at the end of the drive. There were walks for our dog from the door. We loved this part of the country. Places to visit Rudyard Lake near Leek with its miniature railway, Macclesfield Forest and our favourite the Goyt Valley near Buxton.

An amazing bungalow to stay in, huge rooms, brilliant area very comfortable would highly recommend very central for the area lots of lovely pubs for meals and very quiet and peaceful.

Fabulous spacious well equipped cottage with panoramic views from every window.

The hosts were very attentive and always ready to answer any questions or for anything we needed even kindly leaving us biscuits when we arrived. The gardens are well attended with beautiful luscious green grass with plenty of outdoor chairs. The games room provided extra space and entertainment even in wet weather. For our young family being on a working farm was very exciting. Farm tractors up and down the farm Lane, cows, calves and lambs on the fields. It was a dream holiday being in the midst of it all. The cottage is on a little Lane and our children were able to ride their bikes half a mile down to a cattle grid without the worry of traffic. The area is also brilliant with abundance of activities for various different ages, very close to alton towers, less than 10 minutes drive to tittesworth reservoir, a stunning place to do canoeing and paddle boarding, beautiful walks, and so much more. Whilst it is in rural location leek town is just a short drive, and in the quant town of leek you'll find any shop you need. Highly recommend a holiday at this amazing cottage. And my advice is to ignore any negative feedback below, for us being on a working farm is a massive bonus for a family holiday.

A lovely place to stay, both for the property itself and for the location.

Erica was a helpful host, attentive when needed but also let us be. Definitely recommend this as a great place to stay. One small thing: the listing incorrectly says 1 double, 2 twin, but it is in fact 2 doubles and 1 twin. Owner said she had informed Sykes of this mistake but it hadn't been corrected.

Great property and location!

L Everything delivered exactly what we needed to enjoy a relaxing weekend. The rooms were spacious, extremely clean and well equipped. The outside provides a perfect extension to the house and we would have loved to use the bbq and sitting area if the weather had been better. I'm confident in saying "we will be back"!

Clean comfortable bungalow with everything you could need.

A perfect base for exploring the Potteries, Peak District and more. Stunning views from the picture windows and local walks. It is on a working farm so may not be to everyone's taste but for us the sights and smells of the farm were nostalgic. Missing the calves and lambs already

Very nice and clean place, the owner was also very responsive and helpful.

100% recommend this place.

A beautiful bungalow, equipped with everything you could need nestled in next to a working farm.

We will be booking again.

Fantastic accommodation and a great base for Alton Towers.

This is the worst holiday we have ever had .

we are 70 and 78 booked it because looks tranquill and after bereavement and daughter in laws stroke was looking forward to meeting our son and his wife for us all to have a quiet time.we were subjected to noise from 5am one morning to late at night just constant noise tractors farm vehicles all day for whole of week .it doesn't mention in sykes listing of next to a very busy noisy intrusive farm no pictures show the farm and the mess is awful rusting farm machinery tractors outside your bedroom window.if we had known all this we wouldn't have booked it. We have all come home spending all that money and as pensioners wanting a peaceful holiday with our son and wife this we did not get just constant noise from morning till night .we are very upset and feel nearly 500 to turn up to that is disgusting and certainly false advertising it should state what to expect.glynis

Delightful bungalow with amazing views on the owners farm.

Erica most helpful and conscientious host. Bungalow in immaculate condition with great facilities eg games room and good Wi-Fi We had a great holiday here

We feel this property has been misrepresented.

There is only mention of being adjacent to a farm, and we only learned of this once the key safe details were given. We have stayed close to farms before; however, with three farms working in close proximity, we have never been subject to so much noise, with numerous farm vehicles coming and going from early in the morning to the evening. Furthermore, there was a busy main road at the end of the field. We were told this location was tranquil; my daughter and I have not been well lately, so we thought it would be nice. What a joke it was like being next to a depot. In addition, the ad states how well-equipped it was. This is the most basic property we have stayed in; for example, we were supplied with a basket of logs but no means to light the fire. I went out and bought kindling, firelighters and a lighter. One unhappy customer Elaine Gee

We had a wonderful holiday in this homey, clean and comfortable cottage.

Erika was really helpful and we are extremely grateful for her, she made our stay stress free. We had plenty to do even without a car as there are loads of walks right from the doorstep. Wherever we went we had lovely views of the peaks. We hope to come back to Hawks bridge bungalow for another relaxing holiday.

We had a wonderful stay in this charming bungalow, it was like stepping back in time.

We loved the decor, very authentic with the property. The views are amazing, the snooker table was a bonus. Only downside was the postcode, it covers a lot of properties so we had to ask the owner to come and get us! She was lovely and so accommodating. I’d definitely recommend staying at Hawksbridge Bungalow.
