Mrs Walker September 2020

“Perfect location for local attractions.”

Very welcoming and friendly host and the cottage was immaculate! It’s also a lot bigger than the pictures seem. Highly recommend!

Mrs Paton August 2020

“Wonderful comfortable cottage, very well equipped and spotlessly clean, with plenty of space for our family of five.”

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.

“Beautiful barn conversion with everything you could want and to the highest standard and quality.”

Single floor accommodation ideal as holidaying with an elderly relative. Panoramic views from the lounge. Peak district and stunning Staffordshire countryside within easy reach. A beautiful location for a holiday

This was a great location with amazing views for our visit to the area, We were visiting local attractions with our toddlers and being in a friendly rural environment was great for us.

Mrs Woodmansey May 2019

“Cottage was beautiful and finished to a really high standard.”

Really comfortable beds. Amazing view across the valley and loved watching the horses. Would highly recommend

Mr Towers August 2018

“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.

Miss Fordham August 2017

“Great views and location.”

The decor is fantastic. We stayed here with my parents and there is plenty of room. Only 1 toilet but there is a well kept 1 outside the front door. Hard to find so need to follow the directions sent. Would stay again as it is lovely.

- Miss Fordham, August 2017
Mr Wilson July 2017

“Sue was very welcoming when we arrived and was very helpful for us getting to know the beautiful surrounding area.”

Accommodation was spot on, very big space for our family, she even laid out tea, coffee and shortbread, mmm fine. will definitely be coming back next year and will also be booking the wee 1 bed at the back too. Sue keep up the awesome work. Regards the Wilsons

Mrs Pagett June 2017

“Wonderful view.”

It would be helpful to have travel directions from the Cheadle direction.

- Mrs Pagett, June 2017
Mr Stewart May 2017

“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!

- Mr Stewart, May 2017
Mrs Rean April 2017

“This is a gorgeous cottage in a stunning location and, if anything, more spacious and well-equipped than it appears in the photographs.”

- Mrs Rean, April 2017
Mrs Hayward March 2017

“We have been to the property before which is why I didn't use the exceeded expections option.”

The location was ideal for a totally relaxing break. We love it so much we are planning on going back later this year. The property is a 30 minute drive from Trentham Estate with some fantastic exclusive shops. Spent too much but cannot wait for our next visit.

- Mrs Hayward, March 2017
Mr Cornwall February 2017

“A step above perfect , particularly the accommodation , but also the multitude of places to visit within a relatively small radius.”

- Mr Cornwall, February 2017
Mrs Colver December 2016

“This cottage was warm, comfortable and perfect for 6 people for a Christmas break.”

Thanks for finding it for us.

- Mrs Colver, December 2016
Mrs Millar October 2016

“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!

- Mrs Millar, October 2016
Mr Dunne October 2016

“This cottage was an absolute delight.”

It is really spacious with large bedrooms and is beautifully furnished. The full length windows in the living area make it a really light and airy living space, and the views are stunning. The cottage is in a great location to explore the Peak District and Staffordshire.

- Ms Addison, May 2016

Mr Batey November 2015

“The perfect trip.”

The cottage was finished to a very high standard, yet retained a cosy cottage/barn feel. Attention to detail was high; the shower, beds and kitchen were all very very good, adding to the quality of the overall stay. Everything felt like the owner had gone above and beyond, and would happily book again.

- Mr Batey, November 2015
Miss Foxon November 2015

“A lovely cottage, very cosy and welcoming.”

Loved the décor and layout of the cottage, it was great for 2 little boys to be running around, it was very thought through. The TVs in the bedrooms are also a treat as not something we have at home. There were absolutely gorgeous views and it was an amazing setting for a country cottage retreat.

- Miss Foxon, November 2015
Mrs Morley September 2015

“This was an amazing cottage to stay in and the vendors were so kind and friendly.”

The property

Ipstones 2.5 miles.

On the drive down to this beautiful barn conversion cottage, just outside of the village of Ipstones, you will already have the feeling of rural living.

This is a single-storey cottage and guests enter directly into the open plan living area with dining space and the kitchen.

The family bathroom is also located here.

At one end of this beautiful space is a lovely double bedroom, complete with TV, whilst three steps from the living area lead to two further bedrooms, one a twin and one a large double bedroom, both boasting wooden floors.

The views from the cottage are amazing and you could spend hours just gazing over the Staffordshire countryside that surrounds Upper Greenhills Farm, or, pop on a pair of boots and discover the network of footpaths and cycle trails all waiting nearby.

Within easy reach are the market towns of Leek and Ashbourne and a pretty array of villages with excellent pubs serving food to enjoy.

Alton Towers is also a very short drive away, making this cottage the perfect spot for a really varied holiday all year round.
