The Granary

one of the best places we have stayed at in last 20 years.

spotless and with everything you would need for your stay. great location and the fridge of food provided is without ndoubt the best welcome back we have ever received. your hosts are available if you need them but there was no reason to bother them during our week. would suggest you try the talbot for a drink or food. tan out of ten.

A comfortable, well equipped and thoughtfully presented home from home.

The fridge and freezer were fully stocked with all sorts of goodies to ease our arrival and Janet could not have been more welcoming. A quiet country setting with views all around but within easy reach of the Western end of the Peak District and the wonderful Biddolph Gardens and the Potteries.

Had a brilliant stay here.

Great location and lots to do locally. The Granery is a lovely little place and had everything we needed. What set it apart was the host and the kindness shown in explaining everything to us and the very kind gifts that were left for us to enjoy. I've never experienced anything like it and I have stayed in LOTS of cottages! I am sure that we will make another visit in time. Thank you for tour kindness and hospitality!

Wonderful stay, friendly hosts, it had everything we needed and will definitely return

An amazing little cottage in a stunning location.

Very generous, thoughtful hosts. Whilst included in the listing don't under estimate the "filling of the fridge/freezer". Thank you for a trip down memory lane!

The best B and B accommodation we've ever used.

Beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and equipped beyond any expectation. The fridge and freezer were stocked with treats galore and we could have lived the whole week on their contents - incredible generosity. Janet and her family were charming hosts and even gave up their precious time to supervise our grandchildren bottle feeding new-born lambs and allowing them to collect newly laid eggs from under the hens. We couldn't have asked for more and cannot recommend this farm more highly. 5*

2nd visit Thoroughly enjoyed again Lovely people Bonus of having food in fridge and freezer Highly recommend Will be returning very soon Cannot praise The Granary enough

The Granary was a very comfortable home in which to spend a week at the end of the year in a stunning location high on the Staffordshire Moors.

We were well provided for on the long dark nights that followed days spent walking in the local area. Janet was an outstanding host who made us feel so welcome.

A very friendly owner made it a very nice stay.

The accommodation was perfect. The only disadvantage was a bad WIFI connection. (Internet was slow as wel A very nice location.

The Granary was perfect.

We were encouraged to use the heating and open fire (logs supplied). The fridge/freezer and food cupboards were stocked. The cottage is cosy and very comfortable. Ideally situated to explore the surrounding towns and countryside. We would certainly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay lovely owner very helpful, very clean and one of the best cottages we have stayed in and as for the goodies they have included in the fridge and freezer Thank you for a wonderful holiday will be back fred&doris

Our stay at the Granary was excellent.

The added touches,such as well stocked fridge and freezer was such a thoughtful thing to do. The owners were excellent and happy to help,with places to visit and to eat. The cottage was so clean and so well presented. We definitely will return .

will get the gripe out the way first.

When I rang up about collecting the keys, the owners told me that the wifi is a bit temperamental when it's windy. What we found was that most of the time, the wifi didn't work and, when it did, it was so slow. We did chat with the owners and appreciate that they are in the hands of BT and can't do anything themselves. We feel that the problems of the wifi ought to be mentioned in the Sykes description. However, if wifi isn't an issue for you, I would highly recommend the Granary. It is very spacious and well equipped. The kitchen has everything you can think of and the Owners stock it up with food to an incredible level. We are used to finding a welcome pack at cottages but what we found at the Granary was just something else! The beds are also are extremely comfortable. The owners are very friendly and very helpful. If it wasn't for the wifi, I would have given the Granary 10/10 for everything.

Fantastic cottage in a great location with lovely owners, very well equipped with everything you need for your stay.

my children loved feeding the lambs and seeing the new born chickens. Can’t wait to visit again

Fantastic stay, we really appreciated the shop in advance so we didn't need to rush out to the shops which was amazing!

We loved being by the farm and our daughter loved watching the sheep and the chickens and we enjoyed going for a hunt for eggs. A large collection of toys and games for a range of ages was also greatly appreciated. Easy access to the peak district and national trust properties. The owners were incredibly accommodating and helpful. However, if super fast internet is important to you then this probably isn't the place for you. Overall, the house is comfortable with all the amenities you need and the owners are incredibly helpful and accomodating. Would highly recommend it, particularly for people with young families that like animals. Also as an excellent base for visiting the surrounding area.

Really wish we had found The Granary sooner, was a real pleasure to stay in such a lovely place.

The owners are a brilliant family. Fridge/freezer and cupboards stocked with food along with eggs from their own chickens, what more could you want or need? Very nice of them to supply more wood for the log burner (at no point where we cold). We cannot recommend The Granary more highly. We will be back

We have just returned from a wonderful few days at The Granary.

We were made to feel very welcome and were very well looked after during our stay. The added food was extremely thoughtful and really helped us out. The cottage was just perfect for us; beautifully decorated, lots of space, well equipped kitchen and a lovely log burner, all set in a beautiful part of the country. My only comment would be to have a larger quilt on the double bed. The children loved the animals and were well occupied with the toys and games provided too (we've now bought Monopoly Junior!). We have already recommended to our friends and we would love to visit again in the future - we'd time it better to see the lambs being born though! Many thanks for a lovely stay.

The place is excellent warm and cosy on a winter night.

Never would say anything bad owner are great and friendly with that bt hey never know they are next door. View from window in morning are next to the best u can wish for too

We had a very enjoyable stay at The Granary.

It was spotlessly clean, with everything you could wish for. A great base for exploring the area, fantastic walks, breweries & micro pubs. A week was just not long enough.

Absolutely amazing hosts.

Everything you could want for a peaceful break. Views are beautiful. Shops short drive away. We stayed as a go between to see more cities and couldn’t ask for more. We even was able to witness some chicks being born.

This is a lovely cottage and the hosts are very welcoming, helpful and friendly.

A very comfortable cottage with everything you need.

The owners also thoughtfully fill the fridge, freezer and cupboards with food so there is no need to rush out for supplies as soon as you arrive. Centrally located to visit the Peak District and surrounding area but in a tranquil spot. Hope to return at some point and would highly recommend.

Another lovely stay at the Granary a warm welcome from Janet and her family.

It great that the fridge and freezer are full and fresh fruit and eggs from the chickens which I love watching running round just outside the window. Lots of great place to walk, we love walking around Biddulph gardens well worth a visit also worth a visit is Jodrell Bank great for all the family. Lovely and relaxing holiday would definitely recommend staying here.

The property is well positioned to view the local attractions.

The owners were welcoming and friendly. Being on a working farm the sound of the chickens and lambs was a welcome break from the usual traffic noise. The well stocked fridge and freezer was very pleasing which meant we didn’t have to think about going to the supermarket on the way to the property, the kids especially liked the well stocked cookie draw and biscuits jars.

Everything was great.

From beginning until the end. :) Our workers who have stayed here were really happy and enjoyed their stay. We will certainly come back!

Very friendly, very clean, quiete and all wat you need is available.

Kitchen gear, food, boardgames and enough info about the area. Great to visit the Peak District from there!

Perfect escape to the countryside for a week.

Could not fault it. Felt like home away from home from the moment we arrived. The full fridge on arrival was amazing. We loved seeing the lambs and chickens just outside the house. Plenty to do within the area with Alton Towers, numerous National Trust places and the peak district all within a short drive. Overall very highly reccomended. 5 stars isn't enough!

When we arrived the owner was very friendly and welcoming and The Granary gave you a big hug as you entered.

The owner had kindly filled the cupboards and fridge with food for us, which was lovely. When we met the rest of the family, they were also so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The Granary was clean, comfortable and warm and was in a lovely place with extensive views. Everything you needed was provided for from kitchen utensils to linen and towels which was great. We would like to say “Thank you” to Janet, Cynthia and all the family and feel that we have made some lovely friends. We would definitely recommend The Granary to anyone who wants a lovely, restful holiday with owners who really make you feel at home. Thanks again

I stayed here for a month for work recently and it was perfect!

It’s a lovely cosy warm house with everything you need. The hosts are lovely but not interfering - we had particularly bad weather whilst I was there and they dropped me a message to warn me that the power may go out and where the torches were, when it snowed they gave advice of where to be careful but that I’d still be able to get to work, offered logs for the fire when it got cold. It was brilliant to be able to feel at home whilst working away. Id recommend the cottage to anybody!

Many thanks for another lovely stay!

It was just as comfy and welcoming as we remembered from our first visit. Having some food in the freezer, fridge and cupboard to get the week started is such a thoughtful touch, so that your guests don’t have to go off to the supermarket or arrange a delivery straight after a long journey. There are plenty of great places to visit and explore in the area and we would love to come back to see what else we can discover.

We spent a lovely couple of nights away at The Granary for a quick mini break.

We were blown away by the whole experience from the lovely warm welcome, the cleanliness, everything you could think of has been thought of and provided for. It was lovely to hear the sheep and chickens. We will be recommending this cottage to all our friends and family. Thank you.

We cannot fault this property thanks to Janets efforts.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable and complemented by the food that Janet provided, which catered for our needs while there. Hope to have the opportunity to stay again.

TEN STAR ACCOMODATION.

LOVE this accomodation. THIRD TIME stay. SPOTLESSLY a clean, friendly hosts. FEEL at home here. Thoughtful touch for hosts to stock fridge for late arrivals ABSOLUTELY nothing Not to be happy about. Kathryn, AUSTRALIA

Janet was so welcoming and friendly nothing was to much trouble, and gave us lots of advice of places to visit.

The cottage was spotless couldn’t fault it. Such a lovely thought there was plenty of food in the fridge and freezer as well as fresh fruit, chocolate biscuits, crisps eggs and bread didn’t have to worry about going shopping for a few days, plus there’s tea coffee, sugar and so much more it was like home from home Janet has thought of everything. Great location so much to see and do we went to Biddulph Grange Gardens well worth a visit absolutely beautiful, Leeks a nice town to visit, the Roaches: Rudyard Lake and the steam railway to name but a few. We loved staying at at The Granary and will definitely be back and would definitely recommend staying here.

A lovely comfortable cottage with everything that could possibly be needed including a massive amount of food and goodies.

We really didn't need to take anything with us food wise. The only thing we were disappointed with and its no fault of the owners but the cottage was situated where there was nowhere to walk from it as the roads were narrow and there were no footpaths anywhere near.[That we could find] Just a small point for anyone who likes walking.

Very enjoyable stay.

Perfect location to relax and visit the local area. Hosts go the extra mile to ensure comfort.

This is the third time we have stayed here.

Janet and Cynthia are really welcoming and the cottage is beautiful. All thr little touches make it the best cottage we have ever stayed in by a margin. Location is very convenient for the Potteries and Cheshire, only 5 mins from a supermarket but nicely isolated on the moors. WiFi is now pretty good now, better than previous, enough to stream. We also had a meal with friends at the pub down the road which was very good if you don't want to cook. Look forward to returning.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Granary.

We received a very warm welcome. The fridge & freezer were full of complimentary food. Plus eggs from the farm. This was very generous and made the holiday feel more special. We enjoyed having a log burner. The cottage was very warm and a nice place to relax. Thank you for everything.

It was great place to stay.

Amazing host! The house was warm an cosy when we arrived, the fridge and freezer was full of food. I am my 3 children loved the place so much we will definitely book it again.

We chose this cottage as we were meeting up with friends living nearby.

Both location and description of the property suited our needs. The cottage is high up in the hills and when weather permits allows fantastic views over superb countryside. On arrival we were warmly met by Janet who gave us all the information we needed for our stay, It's always nice to meet the owners face to face. We have holidayed with Sykes over the years and most owners have left a welcome pack on arrival. On reading the reviews I was amazed on the comprehensive welcome pack awaiting us. The cottage itself was spotless, comfy beds and everything we needed for our stay. The log burner was a bonus, we had to light it twice as it was rude not to. We really didn't need to as the heating system was excellent. Found a real quirky pub..... The Black Lion at Butterton. Rudyard Lake is well worth a visit. Go to Tissington village, have a look around the quaint shop, the Hall.....what a fabulous piece of history. Trentham gardens for some retail therapy. For you train spotters there is the Churnet Valley heritage line but check to see operational days. Jodrell Bank is visible from the grounds of the property. We have booked for next year!!!!!

Many thanks for having us to stay in this delightful property with plenty to see and do in the area.

Providing food in the fridge, freezer and cupboards, so that your guests don’t have to rush out to a supermarket on the first day, is such a lovely thing to do and much appreciated. Once the internet connectivity is improved in the area, there will be no faulting this place; that said, it gave me the perfect excuse to switch off from work fully for the week. We would love to stay again, the next time we head that way for our hols!

We have stayed in many Sykes cottages and this is the first one where we have received a fridge and freezer full of food for us to use so thanks very much for that.

The cottage was equipped with everything we would need for our week's stay. It was very clean and welcoming. The beds were extremely comfortable and the hot water and heating system was excellent. We were welcomed by three generations of the owners who couldn't have been more friendly. Beautiful setting with plenty of places to visit locally. Thoroughly recommended.

Our host Janet could not have been more welcoming.

We have never stayed anywhere so well equipped and geared up for children (there were toys and books and teddies all ready for them). The fridge and freezer was also stocked up with food for us upon our arrival, so we didn’t even need to go out to find a supermarket - an absolute godsend after a long journey with 2 small children and a baby! The cottage was lovely, the amenities superb, and the farm was just lovely. We had a wonderful stay and would happily come again!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Granary.

It was the perfect place to relax after visiting family and friends. Janet and Cynthia have thought of everything and more that you would like when away from home.

We have stayed here before and was again a great place.

Lovely host, well stocked and a lovely location.

The cottage made a great base for trips to the local area including Biddulph Grange and Trentham Gardens.

The well stocked fridge, freezer and kitchen was a lovely, and welcome, surprise.

A lovely property in a peaceful and stunning location but still close enough to all amenities.

Well equipped property that has everything you need. Extremely clean and comfortable. Kitchen stocked on arrival not only with essentials but with other 'goodies' too which was a lovely surprise. Janet really was the perfect host, providing a very warm welcome and always available if required. Would highly recommend this property, exceptional value for money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely property with welcoming hosts.

It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and stocked with a generous supply of groceries. It is located in a very peaceful and quiet part of the countryside close to the Peak District and we have no hesitation in recommending a stay at this property.

Very welcoming hosts, and were easily contactable, but never invaded our privacy.

Excellent.

Lovely owners providing first class facilities & service.

Very kindly provided with food items which were gracefully received. The cottage is home from home. Very clean, comfortable, roomy & cosy. Lovely views & location. We did miss the sign for the cottage when we first arrived so do follow the owners instructions once they contact you. Mobile & internet reception a little hit & miss at times, you just have to find the right spot. Great location for accessing walking country in Peak District. Lanes are narrow in places so be mindful when driving especially with large vehicles.

This is a lovely cottage, in a great location to access the attractions in Staffordshire and the Peak District.

The hosts were lovely and thoughtful stocking the fridge and freezer with essentials, as well as a food cupboard. They thought of everything when they learnt we were staying with a young baby. We only wished we could have stayed longer, but we will next time.

Owner was friendly and helpful.

Our second visit to The Granary and hopefully not the last. Have recommended to family and friends knowing they won’t be disappointed.

This holiday cottage was by far the best we have ever stayed in.

The attention to detail to make things comfortable for us was wonderful. Such friendly people and very informative about the local area. We watched the baby lambs being fed too which was a new experience for us all even though we live in in a country village. We would certainly recommend the Granary to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a cottage that has everything you could ask for. Even a fully stocked fridge, freezer and good selection of foods in the cupboards. As you probably realise by now we could not fault this holiday accommodation at all

It is the second time we have stayed at the Granary.

The cottage is always warm and cosy, even when there is hail and sleet on the moor. We did light the log fire on a couple of evenings, mainly because it was a fun thing to do rather than because we needed the extra warmth. The cottage is always spotlessly clean, very well equipped and has the best stocked fridge of anywhere we have ever stayed. It is a great location for visitor attractions in the Cheshire and Staffordshire borders. We would have no hesitation in booking the cottage again next time we need accommodation in the area.

We had a lovely holiday at the Granary, very comfortable, warm and welcoming.

Spotlessly clean. Delightful host , Janet goes the extra mile, the fridge was full of food, bacon,eggs ,salad,bread etc we were surprised and happy. Would definitely recommend. Lovely location.

The Granary is a superb home from home, spotlessly clean, well equipped and with extremely comfortable beds.

The owners could not have been more welcoming. I would recommend this cottage to anyone.

Very clean and such a warm welcome from the hosts.

Looking forward to going back again

A well equipped,comfortable cottage in a great location for touring Cheshire and the Peak District.

The owners have really gone the 'extra mile' to make sure visitors have everything they need for their stay. A well stocked fridge, a log fire and fresh eggs from the farm, what more could anyone want ?

The Granary is such a lovely place to stay.

A perfect location for easy access to so many sights. The accommodation is excellent and a home from home. Such a lovely warm welcome awaits.

This is great place to stay, a beautiful setting, clean and comfortable and Janet and Cynthia go the extra mile to make your stay perfect.

The provision of more than essential food on arrival means that you don't have to worry about not having anything to eat and drink when you arrive. The everyday staples such as cereal, pasta cooking oil, etc. not to mention the treats such as chocolate biscuits and ice cream was a lovely gesture. The kitchen is very well equipped. The cottage is spacious and extremely comfortable in both living rooms and bedrooms, there are games, DVDs and books to amuse you in the evenings or if you get stuck with bad weather. I would highly recommend The Granary and we will certainly stay here again when back in the area.

The Granary was such a lovely place to stay, spotlessly clean & everything we could possibly need had been thought of.

The owner was so friendly & helpful, we really hope to stay here again in the future.

The accommodation was perfect, comfortable and spacious.

The host was very generous and left lots of food for us and was always on hand. We also enjoyed looking around the farm.

IT WAS MOST ENJOYABLE WE WHERE WORKING A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY AND IT WAS GREAT TO COME TO A PLACE THAT WAS COMFY CLEAN AND WITH A WELL STOCKED FRIDGE

What a fantastic place to stay.

Comfy, spotlessly clean and top quality. Janet and family as perfect hosts had thought about everything, even leaving the kitchen well stocked. The Granary is excellently placed for exploring 3 different countries; Cheshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire and all they have to offer. Then going home the comfort of the Granary, kicking off muddy boots in the boot room to settle in front of the log burner, perfection. We would firmly recommend this property to everyone.

Fabulous place to stay.

We were so comfortable, and Janet and Richard and Cynthia had thought of everything to make our stay a great experience. The well stocked kitchen was a bonus! We are looking forward to returning.

This is our second visit to The Granary.

Travelling with 2 children this is more like being at home...comfortable and cosy. Janet is a lovely host and should be proud of her cottage. I’m sure she’ll see us again

This is the 3rd time we have stayed and it always exceeds my expectations.

The fridge was full so didn't need to go shopping which is a godsend with 2 young children. This time they even left advent calendars for my boys as we were staying on 1st December. It's these little extra touches which makes the stay special.

What a find!

Fantastic welcome, beautifully clean, warm and very comfortable. We hope to return again.

A beautiful location and offering access to so many places.

Very pleasant, helpful owner who was close at hand had we had any problems or questions. Have already made recommendations to neighbour and family and told them to book early as it is a very popular holiday area.

lovely cottage situated in a quiet position.

a very friendly welcome and lovely that the owner leaves some food which is handy when travelling from far away. excellent stay. easy access to many places of interest.

Very comfortable, spacious cottage for 3/4.

Extremely well-equipped. In a very quiet location (accessible by narrow roads) but close to a lot of interesting places and things to see and do.

This was an excellent cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. It’s in a good location. The owners were very helpful and friendly. It was well equipped and homely. The freezer food and other food provided by owner was an excellent gesture. This cottage really, one of the best we have ever stayed in.

Home from home a fantastic house which made for a relaxing break

Wonderful and generous hosts

a excellent cottage in every way

A fantastic cottage a real home away from home.

My lb especially loved the big box of toys. It's a little bit out of the way but worth it for the quality of the cottage thank you for a lovely holiday x

The Granary is a special place to go to for a relaxing break.

The peace and quiet is heavenly there are no busy roads just the surrounding sounds of farm animals and birds. Janet and Cynthia are the most friendly people we have ever met and always available if you require any help at the end of the phone and not at all intrusive. The cottage has all the amenities for your stay, this includes extras like stair gates, fire guard and travel cot and high chair if you have very young babies / toddlers. If you choose to stay at The Granary you will never be disappointed.

A truly wonderful place to stay, the accommodation was the best we have ever stayed in, it truly surpassed our expectations.

This cottage is a home from home in a wonderful location. Janet went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. I will not hesitate to stay here again, in fact it will be our go to place from now on when visiting Staffordshire!

A country cottage fully stocked, even with freshly laid eggs.

A friendly owner living next door and lots of farm animals around to keep the kids interested. Would stay there again.

The Granary is the perfect place for peace and quiet.

The cottage is like being at home with everything a person requires for a relaxing getaway. It's vicinity is close to local attractions in the area, such as Museums, Alton Towers, Wedgewoods, Trentham Gardens and Monkey World to name a few. You are surrounded by beautiful scenery and lots of walks for ramblers. Your hosts Janet and Cynthia are unobstrousive but always available to provide help and information when required and have become an extended family to us. Like ourselves anyone who stays at the Granary will pay further visits in the future.

Janet and Cynthia have this cottage immaculate and equipped with everything you could conceivably needed, even down to the food which was stocked up in the fridge and cupboards!

A great base for adventures in the Peak District.

An extremely wonderful experience from start to finish.

The property is situated in a beautiful part of the country with gorgeous scenery and lots of sheep! We were delighted with the cottage, it had everything you could wish for and more. The fridge/freezer was packed full of food, much more than was expected and the owners were really pleasant and accommodating. Would love to return at some time in the future.

Can't say enough nice things about this property and the owner.

Lovely place, friendly and helpful owners, well stocked fridge, clean and warm with central heating and a wood burner. Would definitely book again.

Had a lovely 3 days at The Granary.

Welcome package was extremely generous. Owners were very helpful and friendly. Cottage had everything you would need and more. Situation was good. Would definitely go back.

The welcome and the facilities were truly exemplary.

Never before have we encountered such excellence, the fridge was fully stocked, this in itself serving as a measure of the perfect standard of hospitality.. I thoroughly recommend this holiday let. Richard.

Granary Cottage was very clean and comfortable.

Janet and Cynthia were warm and welcoming. The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring a fascinating part of the country - great scenery and walks, loads of interesting museums, National Trust properties and steam trains galore. What more can you ask for?!

We were delighted with this cottage and hope to return.

This is one of the best-equipped cottages we have ever stayed in - like a true home-from-home. Janet, who owns the cottage, was so welcoming and had thoughtfully stocked the fridge for us. We were travelling with two small children (2 and 4 years old) who very much enjoyed the animals on the farm. The cottage also has a great range of toys which kept the little ones happy and entertained. There was also a good playpark around 1 mile away. The area is beautiful with surrounding views and hopefully we'll explore more next time.

We received a very warm welcome.

The cottage was very well equipped and was very comfortable. Everything had been thought about from toys for the children to food in the fridge. We enjoyed it so much we have booked to go again in May.

A very friendly welcome.

Felt at home straight away. Well equipped, warm and homely. Would recommend.
