“The cottage is located not far from the A50 which allows you easy access to Stoke on Trent and the surrounding villages as well as the Peak distict, (please note we did not hear any noise in the cottage from this road).”

...

There is off road parking shared with the owners of the cottage and reversing into the parking space is advised. The rooms in the cottage are of an ample size, very clean and modern. There was everything we needed for our stay except for a torch which would have been handy for when we walked the dog in the evening down the dark lane. Just a little note for dog owners. The cottage sits directly on a country lane so walking your dog can be a little difficult due to the traffic which on occasions zooms down the lane. I would honestly say that maybe this cottage is not quite suitable for dogs for this reason. The owners of Kippers Corner are lovely and made us feel very welcome, the fresh flowers and home made biscuits were very much appreciated. Would we stay here again - definitely.

“Great cottage in a lovely area.”

Spacious bright and welcoming.
Mrs North April 2019

“We had a fantastic stay at Kipper's Corner!”

The cottage is lovely, with a really comfy bed, amazing shower and good quality cooking equipment. The owners are really friendly and were there to help check us in and answer any questions. There's lots to do in the area, we walked Tissington Trail and had a delicious Sunday Roast at a pub just down the road call The Crown Inn. Highly Recommend!

“This is a beautiful little cottage in a beautiful location.”

The accomodation is spotlessly clean and very comfortable and has everything you need for an idyllic stay.

The owners Are lovely and go above board with necessities for your stay - your every need is catered for on arrival they left us milk and biscuits and fresh flowers lovely touches the hosts were accommodating and helpful - we stayed for two weeks and it’s was perfect- the only thing we missed was a washing machine and had go find a laundrette would definitely recommend and will probably book it for my kids when they come to visit me

Thanks for your lovely feedback. We will certainly consider for longer term guests how we can facilitate washing requirements. Thanks for your suggestion. Sykes owner relations

“We stayed for a week during cold weather at the beginning of April.”

Unfortunately the underfloor heating was not working properly and despite several attempts by the owner to fix it, the problem was still unresolved by the end of the week. The owner lent us an oil filled portable radiator and refunded part of our holiday costs. A gentle word of warning to dog owners. Dogs need to go out - if only for a few minutes - first thing in the morning and last thing at night. There was no access to nearby fields and the nearest footpath involved a walk down the lane dodging onto the verges every few minutes to avoid fast traffic. Would also dispute the description of peace and quiet. The only time we were warm enough to open the bedroom window at night, the continuous roar of traffic from the nearby A50 was intrusive. Perhaps it depends what one is used to. An airing rack in the bathroom would be useful for drying bath towels after showers. And a chair in the bedroom perhaps. Sadly, Kippers Corner did not work for us. However, we could see the potential for a comfortable stay for non dog owners if the heating was fixed. The cottage was well equipped and the furniture was comfortable.

Thank you for your feedback which we will use to improve the service we offer to our guests, for instance the suggestion of a chair in the bedroom. We live on a country lane which is a recognised national cycling route (549). It is quiet most of the time however, there can be some traffic around rush hour and an increase in farm vehicles at hay making and harvest time. There is an electrically heated towel rail in the bathroom and hooks on the back of the door but we can make a rack available if required. Unfortunately, we could not manage to get an electrician to attend until the eve of your departure. He confirmed there was no fault with the heating but we have replaced two programmable thermostats with manual ones to make adjustment easier. Planning permission meant we could only have electric heating and it is a feature of underfloor heating that it takes several hours before a change takes effect. We offered a refund part way through your week so that you might make alternative arrangements and made a cash refund on the evening prior to your departure, we found after you had left that you had kindly returned half of the money along with the key. Thanks Again, Kipper’s Corner owners. Sykes owner relations

“Fantastic accommodation”
Mr Watts September 2018

“Cottage was great.”

Couldn't fault it. The location was quiet and in easy reach of the Peak District. The cottage owners were a really nice couple who suggested some good rides for our cycling holiday and let us keep our bikes securely in their garage. We had a great time!

Morning i feel that a sitting area outside away from the owners home would be more comfortable I think the main settee in living room very uncomfortable but please don't think we didn't like the cottage we had a great time and we hope to go back soon mark

Thanks for your feedback, we are limited in where we can locate outside furniture due to property boundaries but I'm pleased to tell you that we now have a nice new and very comfortable sofa in the living room, sorry you didn't get sit on it at the time - although we hope you get chance in the future!

About the location

DOVERIDGE

Uttoxeter 3 miles; Ashbourne 12 miles.

The pretty little village of Doveridge lies within easy reach of the Peak District National Park. Doveridge, mentioned in the Domesday Book is nestled amongst beautiful countryside, offering great walking and cycling paths and trails. The village has a small shop/Post Office with a coffee shop. St Cuthbert’s Church dates from before the 13th century and boasts a 1000 year old yew tree which is supported on crutches and under which Robin Hood and Maid Marion were rumoured to have wed. Near the church flows the River Dove with its Victorian suspension footbridge. The village is situated just three miles from the bustling Staffordshire town of Uttoxeter with its larger array of amenities and racecourse. The NT Sudbury Hall and the Museum of Childhood is very close by and offers a fascinating insight into days gone by. The market town of Ashbourne is within driving distance with its eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys and quaint coaching inns and is something of a haven for antique hunters, boasting superb shops, as well as a variety of good pubs and restaurants. The Dove and Manifold Valleys are also nearby, and both Carsington Water and Alton Towers are within a 20 minute drive, making this a wonderful location for relaxation and enjoyment all year round.
