Lee House Cottage

A lovely tranquil rural setting, isolated yet not far from a host of activities to suit all tastes.

We were there for a long weekend, a family of 15 comprising grandparents, through to kids aged 9-15. All our needs were met in a well-equipped, tastefully converted and furnished building. Proprietors Rosie and Jon were approachable, warm and helpful though not intrusive. Overall a great place to stay :)

The accommodation was very well equipped for a large group and clean and tidy.

The owners were extremely responsive in resolving a couple of very minor issues. Beautiful setting and plenty to keep us occupied, ie: table tennis, boules, croquet, hot tub. Ideal property for a large gathering.

Another wonderful stay at this beautiful place .

We will be back again !

Lovely spacious accommodation, comfortable super King size beds in most rooms, the property was very well equipped and cleaned to a high standard.

The location was set in picturesque countryside and farm animals were there for the kids to see.

Lee House Cottage is located in a beautiful and tranquil setting.

The house and attached cottage have 8 sizeable bedrooms, comfortable living area, a very useful utility room and a superb diner-kitchen area. The family favourite though was the outside area, with lots of space for children young and old, to ride bicycles, play table tennis and crouquet, enjoy barbeques and spend plenty of time in the hot tub. Big thanks to Rosie and Jon the owners who were available if when we needed them.

Amazing property well positioned and equipped.

Pleasant and considerate hosts. Thank you

Once again a wonderful stay .

Beautiful setting and accommodation is fantastic for a large group . Thank you for the welcome hamper full of local produce . We will definitely be back .

What an amazing property and location!

We had the best weekend at Lee House Cottage. We have a family weekend away every year and all 14 adults agreed that this house was the best we have been to. The house is beautiful with everything you could possibly need and more, the owners really have thought of everything and it's definitely shows. The beds are super comfy as are the pillows, hot showers and plenty of them. The garden is stunning with beautiful views, the chickens, donkeys and Sunny the dog just add to the ambience aswell as the neighbour's cows who regularly came to the fence to say hello. The local area is great with lots to do and plenty of places to eat and walk. The hot tub was a real treat and Jon cleaned and checked it everyday during our stay. The pictures honestly don't do it justice, Rosie and Jon have put so much time and love into this property! Thank you for making our family weekend perfect, we will definitely be back.

A delightful cottage, tastefully decorated with everything you could possibly want to make your stay comfortable.

The property is located in beautiful countryside near the village of Cheddleton which had lovely places to eat. We particularly liked the hot tub, table tennis and gas barbecue. The children particularly liked the animals especially the friendly chickens. We would definitely rebook for a family break again.

We celebrated a family birthday at the cottage and were really impressed with everything, the cottage is gorgeous (I don’t think the photos online reflect how lovely it is), the facilities kept everyone entertained and we had the most wonderful weekend together.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a luxury cottage in the middle of no where to relax and spend time together. Huge thank you to the owners

We had a fun family weekend.

Lovely accommodation for 15 of us with a room to spare! The hot tub was appreciated by children and adults. The house is off the beaten track so don’t expect to be able to walk to the pub. Good circular walk from the house. I chose this property because it was one of the few that could seat us all at one table

The property was ideal for our family holiday with excellent accommodation.

We particularly liked the fact that we senior members were able to stay in Ostlers Cottage leaving the main house to the younger members of the family. Rosie and Jon were most accommodating and unobtrusive hosts. Finally the property is set in wonderfully peaceful surroundings with lovely walks in the surrounding countryside but also close enough to easily access shops and pubs.

Thank you for a lovely stay.

Perfect for a gathering of a multi generational family- 13- 96yrs from UK and Australia. The house met all of our needs- hot tub, table tennis, log burner...even a table the right size for our jig saw! Access to short and longer walks, and a half day on the steam railway! We were catered for by Pam for one night and she was marvellous with superb skill to meet all dietary requirements. We shall remember all of this for a long time!

Absolutely fabulous stay .

Beautiful setting , well equipped and clean . Will be back next year to see chickens and donkeys . Thank you

The house is beautiful and was perfect for our get together.

Large dining room and sitting room with a fantastic outside dining area which had the hot tub, ping pong table and gas bbq. The area around the house is gorgeous with plenty of walks. The children were able to run around and see free range chickens and visit the donkeys at the owners farm. The owners were lovely to chat with and spent time introducing the kids to the animals. We will very likely use this house again in the future I can’t recommend enough thank you

loved the place and had a terrific family gathering

We spent a brilliant family Christmas here.

Every home comfort was provided and the facilities were excellent. Rosie and John were exceptional hosts who were on hand if needed but respected our privacy too. We would love to visit again.

Lovely cottage , great stay Rosie was lovely throughout Would recommend to stay at either cottages or even both like we did for the 14 ppl Thanks for renting us your beautiful property Annemarie

We had a brilliant stay at Lee House.

Lovely house and gardens - it was perfect for our group. kitchens were very well equipped. Owner was very helpful.

A perfect cottage for a family get together.

We really enjoyed our stay and Rosie and John could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend.

The cottage were lovely, just like home from home with everything we needed for our family holiday.

The use of the hot tub was a bonus. Our grandchild enjoyed the donkeys and even the cows. ( you would not have thought they were 11,15,17 and 18 years old) Thanks Rosie

Fantastic property, surpassed our expectations.

Rosie was most helpful. Excellent social spaces, warm and cosy.. If Lee House Cottage is on your shortlist, look no further.

We had a wonderful extended family Christmas in this spacious and comfortable house.

The hosts, who live in the neighbouring farm, were very helpful (e.g. when we needed to borrow a larger saucepan to cook a ham) without being obtrusive.

An excellent property which served the purpose of providing accomodation for 19 members of a family gathering for a weekend to attend the wedding of one of it's number.

An intense time of preparation, celebration and relaxation was covered by the facilities offered and certainly helped the wedding event to be a memorable event for all concerned.

We could not recommend Lee House more highly.

The house is beautiful inside and out with everything we needed. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. It was my sisters wedding at Foxtails and perfect for families wanted a beautiful place to stay. Pam, a local lady catered for us one evening. It could not have been better ! Except 3 days wasn't long enough.

Absolutely beautiful property, in a perfect setting.

We all had a fantastic time, so comfortable and everything was there that you need for your holiday, it was nice seeing the owners too, who were very attentive and friendly. Thankyou so much.

Excellent accommodation.

Ideal for family gathering. Hosts most welcoming and friendly. Excellent

I was absolutely delighted with this cottage stay.

It is the first time all of my family having gone away together and I would highly recommend this property. Extremely spacious (there were 14 of us and we didn’t feel on top of each other), fabulous hot tub! We saw cows, donkeys, chickens, hares, house martins - a real country stay. It is well equipped with outdoor bbq facilities, table tennis and plenty of outdoor seating for seeing in the sunset. A truly wonderful find that my whole family thoroughly enjoyed! So very beautiful.

The property was fantastic.

It was exactly what we wanted. It was spotless and excellent in every way. We could not fault it. The hot tub was fantastic and cleaned twice a day. The water temperature was perfect. The owners were great and delighted to help with any queries. I would highly recommend Lee cottage.

The cottages were amazing, as was the setting.

We had a lovely, multi-generational, holiday to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday. The owners were very helpful when needed but we also had a good sense of privacy. An excellent visit!

This is a lovely, large and very clean comfortable property.

Three generations of our family had a wonderful time here with no complaints at all. Excellent communication and directions from the owners, with a much appreciated welcome pack of local specialities. Rolling countryside in all directions some pleasant walks on the doorstep. Leek is only a few miles away for all provisions, and the chip shop in Cheddleston gets special mention! Highly recommended!

Communication with the owner prior to the stay was excellent and Rosie answered all our queries which was really important as we had a wheelchair user in our party.

Everything was thought of, right down to photos of the route to the property! The facilities were fantastic and perfect for our family get together. We wanted for nothing while we were there and the location was just idyllic. We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough and would not hesitate to return as it catered for all our family needs.

The property is amazing for large groups.

Lots of living space and bathrooms to accommodate all without feeling overcrowded. The annex was an added bonus. The gardens are beautiful and very well kept, a hot tub and table tennis table for entertainment. The property itself is very well equipped and there were lots of extras you wouldn’t usually find in a holiday rental. The local area has lots of lovely walks and is a picturesque setting. A wonderful stay and I would definitely return.

Had the most amazing stay at Lee Cottage.

It was so much better than we imagined. We were 3 generations staying for a new year break. 10 adults and 8 children with a baby. Superb location hot tub and table tennis good fun. Thanks to John and Rosie for a very special stay. Would love to return.

We had a really lovely weekend at Lee cottage, unfortunately we had a power cut for around 4 hours whilst there due to the weather but Jon and Rosie were so helpful, our second time in this cottage and we love it

Thank you for a great stay, beautiful location, excellent space for a large party and the separate annex worked very well for us.

The little touches - jam, cheese etc were very appreciated.

Really enjoyable stay, beautifully appointed cottage with plenty of space to spread out (13 of us).

Kitchen well appointed, lounge and dining areas huge, bedrooms all very comfortable. Hot tub was a nice tonic during the early evening. Instructions for everything were extremely clear. Would love to return.

Everything from the communication with the owners to the ease of arrival, checking in, the facilities and leaving exceeded our expectations.

I would definitely book again. Thank you for a lovely break.

We booked Lee House Cottage and Ostler’s Cottage for a university reunion.

The house was everything we wanted and more! It had everything you needed in the kitchen and the facilities were second to none. The hot tub was a special touch which we enjoyed looking over the beautiful countryside. We had the most amazing weekend here and will be returning again! Thank you so much for having us!

Everything about Lee House was perfect!

It was spotlessly clean & all the bedding, towels, kitchen equipment, crockery & cutlery were as new. The view from the lovely garden was absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time sitting & eating in the garden, the outdoor furniture was very comfortable. The house is very child friendly & our 6 grandchildren spent a lot of time in the hot tub, running around on the lawn & playing outdoor games such as table tennis & croquet that were provided. All the 10 adults joined in as well!! The owners were really friendly & welcoming. One of the many highlights for the children was watching the 3 'on site' donkeys being fed & being able to stroke them! We used a caterer, recommended by the owners, on Saturday night to celebrate one of our daughter's 40th birthday, ksimcockcatering.co.uk, she was excellent & the food she produced was delicious. I initially chose Lee House because of the location, lovely photos on the website & the spacious nature of the property. However, seeing & 'experiencing' the house in person was even better! We all had a wonderful & very relaxing weekend. Would recommend Lee House without reservation to anyone.

We recently visited for a family getaway for a 60th birthday party.

The house was fantastic and had everything we needed. There were 19 of us in total and there was plenty of space for us. We never once felt like we were on top of each other. Would definitely recommend and revisit. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Beautiful location, the beds were really comfy, hottub was a great experience.

All in all a brilliant weekend

One word to describe Lee House Cottage, 'perfection'!

We gathered our family of 16 together for the first time in over a year, to celebrate my 60th birthday.Our bank-holiday weekend away was fantastic. The cottage is beautiful, cleaned to a very high standard, well-equipped and the views from the outdoor eating area are stunning. The owners, Jon and Rosie, made sure we were comfortable, and Sonny was the perfect furry host! We are hoping to make this an annual family. Thank you for helping us to make wonderful memories, especially with our elderly parents.

Sykes Cottage was a beautiful,well equipped, very clean, comfortable hose perfect for 8 adults and 8 children aged 1 to 15.

The hot tub was wonderful and was cared for every day by the owner so was sparking clean. We all loved it. Very friendly hosts. Amazing walks and scenery all around and beautiful gardens.

What an amazing place

Lovely property in an idyllic setting.

Owners very helpful and accommodating. Property very comfortable and plenty of space. Ideal base for walks. Hot tub was used every day. The children loved the secret door. Would definitely recommend this property.

We absolutely loved this house.

There are two separate cottages so we were able to share our holiday with family.Everything in the houses is good quality and they are very well equipped.The beds are very comfortable and the place is spotless.We felt safe from Covid here. There are plenty of walks from the house which we did and did not need to go further afield as the scenery is beautiful. The hot tub and donkeys were a bonus. It was lovely to find the delicious welcome pack of local produce. We hope to return and that the sun shines next time.

Lee House Cottage was absolutely perfect for our group of 16, ample bedroom space for all, and everything you could wish for downstairs.

I would imagine that the exterior spaces would be well suited to long lazy summer evenings, and not forgetting the 'added extra' which is the fabulous hot tub. There are plenty of walking routes on your doorstep, which again would be great to explore in the 'drier'' months. The owners live right next door, and are extremely friendly and always available, if needed. Everyone in our party had a fabulous time, and would return again. So, if you are searching for a property which will accommodate larger groups, do not hesitate, this is the one ..

There were 17 of us,ranging from 2 to 80,and everyone had a wonderful time.

The hot tub was well used, cooking was so easy in the lovely kitchen,and the goody bag of local produce was a really nice touch.Rosie and John were helpful hosts. They sent us a layout plan of the cottages,and very helpful directions with photographs. The children loved meeting the donkeys and seeing the chickens at the back door.

Lee House is perfect for a large group holiday/gathering.

The hot tub is an added bonus which we all enjoyed. It is rural enough without being cut off. Close enough to Leek to enjoy a day or evening out and with some lovely walks on the doorstep.

Absolutely loved this cottage.

We went as party of 19 (10 adults and 9 children between 2-8yrs). The house is stunning and is so well equipped and homely. The secret mini door was a fantastic addition for the children who used it to play hide and seek. The cottage has everything anyone would need and was so relaxing. The surrounding area was beautiful and we enjoyed visiting the on-site donkeys. The chickens also came to visit us at one point which was lovely. The hot tub was a welcomed treat for the adults when the children went to bed. Everywhere was exceptionally clean and the beds were so comfy. Rosie and Jon were lovely and on hand to answer any queries we had. We will definitely be back and have already recommended the cottage to others. Fantastic memories made. Thank you so much.

Couldn’t fault a thing!

Beautiful accommodation exactly as pictured - if not even nicer than expected. We hired the house for a retreat and it was the perfect space for a lovely relaxing time as a big group of girls. Spotlessly clean and the hosts were extremely helpful if we needed anything especially with having the hot tub ready for us whenever we wanted it. The outside area & views were also lovely! Would recommend the house to everyone and will probably be back to stay in the near future.

Absolutly Beautiful cottage, instantly felt at home.

Rosie was lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommend this property it's amazing.

Our family spent a week at Lee House Cottage and what a great time we had there.

We spent most of the week out of doors with amazing views and great out doors facilities ie table tennis hot tub and a plenty supply of games. The owners Jon and Rosie couldn't do enough for us and we all fell in love with their little dog Sunny who came to visit us every day and was in a great risk of being abducted as we all thought he was amazing and very friendly. The cottage itself was beautiful, spotless and very tastefully set out with every possible thing you could need. Our eldest family member was 95 and the ground floor bedrooms and wet room was a bonus.We would recomend Lee House Cottage 100% with only one tiny recomendation that the sign giving directions to the cottage was a little bit bigger as it was a little bit of a challenge to find . Regards The Southport Crew

amazing cottages, perfect for what we needed and the most beautiful scenery!

! fantastic facilities, loads of space for everyone, super clean and just all round perfect! we would all definitely visit again

We really had a great time all family members from 9 month to 70 +.

had the best time. The cottage was great , Clean and very well kept also well equipped for 19 people. The rooms were comfortable and had lots off space to sleep all my family including a baby. We found the hot tube in the garden great as sat in it watching over the hills watching the sunset was a nice feeling. We found the location ok as all my family came from all parts off Britain i.e. West Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire, Surry, Colchester so Lee House Cottage was in the middle. The owners Rosie and John were so helpful kind and would help with anything that wasn't right or needed fixing. Even John thought my 6 year old about how to look after the hot tube which he found fascinating. I would like to thanks Rosie and John and yourselves at Skyes cottages for making our week away so enjoyable and memorable. Thanks so much Kelly and family

Plenty of local attractions,although the approach lanes do not suit large cars!

The space and the facilities the cottage provided.

Tranquility of location. Owners always available and helpful but not intrusive. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Lee House is fantastic.

Rosie and Jon have created a piece of magic. Our group of 16 had an amazing time. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Absolutely gorgeous pair of cottages!

Clean and well stocked with everything in kitchen. Wonderful surroundings too! There were 16 of us including small children who loved hiding in the different rooms. Would definitely recommend this place. Rosie and Jon so helpful.

It is an ideal location for a family "do".

Eight adults, four children, two toddlers and a baby were accommodated with ease. The cottage is best equipped we have ever used. The surroundings are delightful and Leek is a town which has found a quirky "groove" and the market is well worth a visit.

A very tastefully and well equipped holiday home in a wonderfully peaceful location with great views and lots to see and do nearby.

For us, the added bonus was the care and attention given by the lovely owners Rosie and John have given to making the ground floor totally wheelchair accessible which meant our son in his electric wheelchair could easily move around inside and out and join in everything. We would highly recommend and hope to return. Many thanks for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable.

Amazing cottage, extremely clean on arrival and a lovely welcome pack.

Super king beds were fantastic likewise the top quality bedding and towels. Plenty of comfy seating in living room also dining on one long table was a pleasure. Plenty of kitchen/cooking space, after 22 years of this annual trip this cottage had the cleanest oven I’ve seen. I honestly can’t fault anything about Lee House plus the owners were very friendly and helpful on Sunday a few of the children had gone for a wander and John took the time to tell them all about the donkeys and chickens which they keep on the farm.

Lee House Cottage is absolutely fantastic.

Beautiful cottage, beautiful setting and all the facilities and equipment you could ask for. Rosie and John were brilliant; so lovely and welcoming. We had everything we needed and more. The absolute only thing I could say would be handy is a decent sized whisk, or electric (whipping cream with a mini whisk was interesting) and some lidded casserole dishes to make full use of the AGA. The hot tub was perfect and so clean! Checked twice a day and the maintenance of it really shows. I couldn't recommend this more. We had the most perfect weekend!

We had a fantastic time at Lee House, the large cottage meant the 12 of us had our own space when needed but the open kitchen/diner was brilliant for meal times.

The fabulous lounge and log burner was large enough yet comfortable and cosy. The views and walks nearby were just beautiful. Couldn’t have been better. Thank you Rosie.

The cottage is lovely & everything has been well thought out - from soft fluffy towels for the bath to ones for the hot tub, through to thinking of plastic cups, bowls, plates & cutlery for the young members of the party, we had everything we needed to make our break amazing!

! Thank you for a weekend we will all remember

The accommodation was comfortable, well maintained and equipped to a very high standard.

The facilities and description of the property was spot on. The weather on our stay was snow and cold but the property was lovely and warm and cosy. The owners were friendly and attentive the extra added details and touches that they included on our arrival was fantastic and very much appreciated. There was more than enough equipment for the number of people great cooking pots and pans all of a high quality and spotlessly clean.

Everything was perfectly organised & straightforward.

The cottage is cosy, clean comfortable & fully equipped! We had a fabulous Christmas there & everyone (from baby to grandma) was extremely pleased with how perfect everything was. Thank you so much Rosie & Jon for a wonderful experience that cannot compare!

Absolutely fantastic property for celebrating a special family birthday.

Rosie & John are extremely attentive and we could not have enjoyed this wonderful property & the surrounding area anymore. Only 1 small request would be some big mugs for our huge need for copious consumption of tea & coffee would be nice but that really is a personal thing and in no way a reflection of any level of dissatisfaction...we hope to come back soon

Fantastic cottage making perfect 50th bday celebration for 17 friends.

...a floor plan would have helped sort rooms a little easier, but all rooms very very nice. Beds amazing comfy. Kitchen so well kitted out.. Hot tub lovely. Would defo recommend. Nearly didn't find the family room thro little door!!! Had we not needed all 8 rooms would have missed the best room! Many thanks.

The host is really friendly, they live nearby so anything we need, they can respond immediately, from "changing gas bottle for bbq grill" "bringing wine opener".

They are really helpful and patient. the kids in our group really enjoy the hot water tub. there is a good walking route near the farm house. its worthy to walk around.

Most reviewers have said it all: this is the most wonderful property.

The rooms were very comfortable, the whole place was incredibly clean, the kitchen contained everything a large group (four families totalling nineteen) needed. The children loved the pretty gardens (plenty of space for lots of little ones to run and play) as well as going to see the donkeys. The gorgeous little wooded area was named the Fairy Wood and plenty of adventures were had there. The (very well maintained) hot tub was a favourite- especially at night, under the clearly visible stars. Rosie and Jon were kind and helpful hosts. All in all, our favourite holiday home yet.

Superb quality accommodation and location.

Exceeded expectations. Highly recommend. Would book again.

A really lovely cottage, extremely well presented and in a beautiful location remote from any other buildings.

A large garden overlooking open countryside, with plenty of space and varied areas for the children to play in, and also lots of seating either close to the large gas bbq, or alternatively close to the very popular hot tub. The owners, Jon and Rosie, did everything they could to make us welcome and comfortable and kindly supplied an interesting collection of local produce on our arrival. Fifteen of us enjoyed a truly memorable holiday (and birthday party) in this spacious, comfortable and well-equipped cottage.

This is a very well equipped cottage and although it’s a very old building it’s modern inside with great bathrooms comfy beds and very well equipped.

The garden is lovely and very private. The 7 children that were part of our party of 14 had a great time.

Beautiful cottage in an amazing setting.

Nothing more you could need for a weekend away. The welcome hamper was a lovely addition when arriving after a long journey. The separated cottage was ideal for the sleeping babies (which the travel cots have great mattresses in). Only thing I would say for us was the hot tub was situated in the wrong place as when people using it at night the noise can be heard in the annex cottage so babies woke up. The road to the cottage isn’t too friendly to the car so be prepared for a bumpy ride. However this will not stop us booking to cottage again (as babies will be older). Thanks Rosie for all your help making it a fabulous weekend!

The listing of the property was not accurate to the room configuration.

I asked for a floor plan on a number of occasions and was told one was not available, I now think this was because had we seen a floor plan we would have cancelled the booking. The master in the main house is listed as having a ensuite with a water fall shower, the bathroom with a waterfall shower is accessed from the main kitchen and is also the only toilet on the ground floor so with multiple occupants is in constant use. So to access the bathroom the downstairs bedroom and the unexpected mezzanine bedroom have to walk through main rooms and past the front door, not at all the level of comfort you would expect for a luxury cottage. Their are two mezzanine bedrooms, one in the cottage and one in the main house so these rooms offer no privacy. We travelled to celebrate a big birthday and paid what we thought would get us a level of luxury, instead the bathrooms and mezzanines left us feeling like we were back in university halls, waiting with your wash bag in a kitchen for a bathroom to become free and unable to have a private time with your partner. I was sadden by this as we had previously been pleased with cottages we have booked through Sykes

Lovely cottage with plenty of room for the 14 of us.

The beds were very comfortable and the showers and bath were good. As you would expect with 6 children the washing machine and dishwasher were used every day and performed well We got used to the Aga and managed to fathom out the oven! The garden was great but we didn't get to sit out much as it was so cold The hot tub was a huge hit with everyone!

Lee House Cottage was immaculately presented and the views were spectacular.

The hot tub is a great asset to sit and enjoy the views and the stars at night with no light pollution. On arrival a welcome drink and walnut bread, chutney and local cheeses was a big hit with our extended family group gathering for a late Christmas celebration. The large group and age range had the choice of the comfortable lounge with modern log burner or the large sociable table in the inviting kitchen with its aga. I would definitely recommend Lee House and hope to return at some point.

We had an excellent stay at Lee House Cottage, it’s fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and everything was of a very high standard.

We would definitely come again.

This property was perfect for the country break we wanted.

Facilities were amazing the house was beautiful and views outstanding will definitely look to book again!

This barn conversion is absolutely fabulous.

No expense has been spared in presenting this stunning building. The thought that has gone into making it what it is is truly appreciated. All of my family were very impressed with everything they saw. All 13 of us loved it and we will be back!!. It really is a credit to the hands on and friendly owners who come and greet you and make sure you have a pleasant stay. We left 2 massive snowmen, testament to how much the kids loved the place, in and out of the hot tub to make another arm or two, it was just perfect.

The cottage was amazing and I would happly move in tomorrow, everything we needed for the weekend and the owners were very attentive to only the couple of MINOR issues we had, which were only due to not knowing the heating etc nothing actually wrong.

Location was gorgeous and watching the sun set as you are sat in the hot tub was just gorgeous. Thanks for a great weekend as always.
