"Wonderful stay, property is gorgeous and the view from livingroom window is amazing!"
Location was perfect for us, so much to do close by. Loved the peace and quiet of being on the farm. The house was incredibly clean, and had all the facilities we needed. Slight niggle was that the livingroom sofas were not very comfortable to sit on, however would not put us off booking again. Highly recommend this property, the owners were lovely too.

"This was a very memorable 4 nights for my family."
The place was well maintained and the markets and pubs were very close. We absolutely fell in love with the view from our lounge and thought the pictures on the website didn't do enough justice to this beautiful farm house. The owner of the house Sue was very kind to leave us some extra items such as soap and tea bags. My kids loved their rooms and the place was warm and very tidy. I would recommend this place for days when the weather is bad coz you could just cozy up on the couch with a cup of tea and enjoy the view.

"What a fantastic cottage!"
It exceeded all of our expectations and with 3 children ranging from 11 to 5, that is no mean feat! So well equipped, great location and friendly faces of humans and animals, are just 3 of the ‘buzz words’ that we’d put to our stay in the cottage. Thank you, we’ll be back!

"Lovely comfortable cottage with beautiful views."
Cottage is more spacious than photos show. It was beautifully clean when we arrived. The kitchen is well equipped and everything is in pristine condition. Lovely walks nearby. We were visiting to see family so didn’t explore much locally. There is a good local shop in Ipstones and a butcher. Owners live in the house behind the cottage and they were friendly and helpful. There are lots of horses stabled on the farm which our boys enjoyed making friends with.

The views from the living area are absolutely lovely. There are peaceful walks from the doorstep and Peak District walks are only a short drive away. It is also perfect for a day at Alton Towers, only a 20 minute drive.
Overall I would highly recommend for a peaceful break.

"A warm and friendly welcome from the owner was only just the beginning of a wonderful enjoyable week at Upper Greenhills Farm."
This immaculately presented and well appointed accommodation enjoys the peace and quite expected of a rural situation. The views over the Staffordshire countryside, especially with the rising and setting sun, together with horses frolicking in the fields were daily sights to behold. In addition to the many local scenic walks in Staffordshire/Derbyshire, major tourist attractions include steam railway, Well Dressing in the Derbyshire villages, Crich Tramway Museum, Bakewell, Matlock Bath and, not forgetting Chatsworth House, these were all with 25 miles and 40 minutes in the car. Traffic was never a problem. Ipstones has a very well stocked Village store, two pub/restaurants serving good food and, within 5/7 miles, there are many other excellent eateries to meet all taste. In summary, what more do you need for a great holiday. It’s a must revisit.

"The accommodation at Upper Greenhills Farm was fantastic!"
A lovely barn conversion carried out to a good standard. Very clean, very comfortable, very spacious and the view was breathtaking. Just a short drive from Alton Towers and Leek, but totally "away from it all" in terms of peace and quiet. Plenty of wardrobe space in the bedrooms, well equipped kitchen with decent quality appliances, good size bathroom with a decent shower. Hostess Sue Whitehouse was friendly and accommodating and there were some really nice touches (tea, coffee, milk and biscuits provided on arrival so us weary travellers could have a brew on arrival). We will definitely book again!

"This is a wonderful, cosy but spacious cottage."
The owner provided everything we needed including milk, tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival which was a lovely touch. It was spotlessly clean. The views from the living area are amazing and it was a pleasure to open the blinds in the morning. The bedrooms and bathroom were extremely spacious with loads of storage and a TV in every room which was useful at night time. It's location is excellent. You are less than an hour's drive from many Peak District attractions and only 10 minutes to Leek for supermarkets, takeaways etc. Alton Towers is also a only a short drive away - suprising as the cottage is situated in such a peaceful and quiet location. Would we return? Yes definitely!
