    Thank you for your lovely welcome and the delicious cakes and wine., The tea, coffee, milk and sugar available were greatly appreciated too after a long journey. The bed and bedding were sooo comfortable and the pillows...just as I like them being good quality and plump. It was lovely opening the patio doors with the sun streaming in and the birds singing in the trees. Beautiful peaceful surroundings. Loved the pony's in the nearby field. Great parking space. We will definitely be coming back. We absolutely loved our stay.

    Cottage was clean, cosy and comfortable with plenty of hot water and facilities. The small rear garden was ideal for our little dog. Quiet location with lovely country lane walks with a dog. Visited Downs Bank and Trentham Gardens, great days out. Beautiful scenery all round. Highly recommend Holly's Barn and hope to return. Thank you.

    The owners are so welcoming with Prosecco and cupcakes on the table to greet you and Rachel the owner came out to say hello. It is beautifully furnished, the bed is so comfortable and a lovely bath to soak away any stress. It is just right for two people and a hound. It’s very quiet and has a small enclosed patch garden to let the dog out. Rachel is so helpful if you have issues or questions and gave us good tips on the local area. We had a lovely two night break away, thank you Rachel for a lovely stay!

  • "Beautiful location, good area for the dog, helpful and friendly owner, very nice bathroom and bedroom."

    Our only issues were the size of the kitchen (no draining board for washing up, microwave oven in the cupboard under the stairs, only two hobs) and the comfort of the sofa.

    Thank you for your feedback. Holly’s Barn description on the website along with the photos clearly show the facilities on offer. We market our property as suitable for two adults only and feel, especially from previous feedback, the barn offers an adequate and well equipped kitchen. There is a roll up draining mat available.

    Very warm and cosy and in the main well equipped ...we only missed a toaster, rather than using the oven grill. Great walks and pubs nearby, easy to get to surrounding towns and cities. Our favourites were Stone and Lichfield. Fab bathroom, loads of hot water and a very pleasant welcome surprise of iced prosecco and cupcakes ....yummy. Really quiet at night and when clear, the night sky was brilliant. Highly recommended, thanks very much Rachel and Paul.

    Our hosts were helpful with recommendations of where to go, good food, and dog walks. They were lovely with our dog (even when he made a break for their kitchen!) The cottage was spotless, it was well decorated, comfortable, and the bed was lovely. The hosts couldn't have done enough to make our stay a lovely one. All I would say (which was not their fault) is our sausage dog managed to jump through the fence slats of the back garden, we popped some washing line across the slat he got through and no problem from there, but just a heads up if you have an adventurous pup or a sausage dog like we do! I would fully recommend this stay, it was just what we needed.

    The bed was a little firm for me - perhaps a topper might be an option? And the only thing I found that we’d like was an ice cube tray so we could add ice to our drinks. Everything else that we needed was there. Rachael and Paul were lovely and very welcoming and even kept an ear out for our pup when we popped out for dinner one evening which was very reassuring. The welcome fizz and cakes was a lovely touch. We were also offered some rhubarb out of the garden to take home so we’ll be rustling up a crumble with that! Thank you for a lovely stay!
