  • "What a great early 2024 break."

    Very thoughtful welcome items provided - including Prosecco, crisps, chocs, milk, cheese plus extra towels for hot tub. Cottage location was good with easy access to Trentham Gardens which is well worth a visit. The cottage really was lovely and nice and warm with under floor heating - nice shower in wet room Just a couple of thoughts to put the cherry on the top (not criticisms at all and relatively minor) - as it was raining during our stay it would be good to have a plastic box of some sort near hot tub to pop phones in etc. Also more drying facilities for hot tub towels and costumes (we used it a lot lol)
