    Everything has been done to ensure you have all you need for a brilliant stay. Games room has something for all the family, snooker, table tennis, darts, karaoke, books. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spotless as is everywhere in the cottage. What a lovely find! Thank you!

    Thank you for your wonderful comments. We do try very hard to make everything as perfect as possible. We very much appreciate your custom. Property Owner

  • "Property was AMAZING!"

    clean, well maintained, great views with all the little luxuries you could want. Hot tub on an evening looking over fields and hills after a day of walking the dog or one of the trails close by. There’s a lake less than 15 mins away with activities like kayaking and paddle boarding, and quaint villages all around to explore. For the kids (and the grown up kids) there is karaoke, pool, table tennis, darts, and a retro arcade games console. Perhaps you fancy a bbq one evening and sit in the pagoda for a family meal? Maybe you fancy a sauna…go for it! Close to Alton towers should you want a visit there too. Lots of field space for football, tennis, badminton, frisbee right on your door step. The stay here is worth every penny in my opinion and the owner is super lovely who goes all out to make sure your stay also has the personal touch! I can’t recommend this place enough!

    We are proud to be Gold winners of best for families and thank you very much for your wonderful comments. We strive to make your holiday as wonderful as possible. The area is plentiful for activities, pubs, eateries and lovely walks. We would be delighted to welcome you back sometime Property Owner

  • "We were a group of 7 adults and Hollydale exceeded all our expectations."

    From the well equipped kitchen/utility room to the most comfy beds and powerful showers and every room was spacious and immaculate. It was the perfect place to spend some quality family time, like a home from home. The outdoor heated seating area was so cosy whilst we sat out late into the evening and then the heated games barn which everyone loved! Jo had thought of everything to make it the perfect stay. The setting is also beautiful with the views of the countryside from every angle and yet a short drive to some great walks and pubs. This is one of the best places that we have stayed in this country.

    Thank you so much Carmel and it was a pleasure to have you stay at Hollydale. Lovely comments, Property Owner

    Every detail was to the highest standard , and every possible requirement thought of . Except to get some more supplies , there was not need to leave the property for the 3 days we were there .

  • "We had a fantastic stay at Hollydale in April to celebrate our eldest son’s 30th birthday all together as a family ."

    It was the perfect venue for a family celebration - eight adults and two dogs stayed in complete luxury and comfort. Every bedroom being able to be made into a double or king and having their own beautiful, en suite bathrooms was what sold Hollydale to us in the first place. However, it totally surpassed our expectations. We didn’t need to go anywhere all weekend because there was so much to keep us entertained- so many highlights from the hot tub to the games barn (perfect for 3 grown up sons to rekindle their sibling rivalry and their dad to relive the arcade games of his youth!) to the sauna and heated outdoor area in which to eat, chat and chill. The property has absolutely everything you could possibly need and want (how many places supply a karaoke machine with accompanying wigs?). It is decorated in a quirky but very tasteful style. Jo and Giles were very quick to reply to any queries we had and have thought of anything you might need . Thanks to them for providing the perfect setting for a memorable and very special weekend of family celebrations. We will be back - quite possibly in 2 years time when it’s Son number 2’s turn to celebrate his 30th birthday.

    Immaculate properties in a perfect location managed by amazing hosts! We do these sort of holidays every year and Hollydale has easily been the most impressive. There was nothing we could have wanted or needed whilst there as the hosts had thought of everything. There is also a no expense spared feel to the property’s with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout even following out into the garden with the bbq and the furniture. The location is superb too and we honestly didn’t think the photos did the views justice ( which made for a nice surprise on our arrival ). If you’re looking at staying at Hollydale barns don’t hesitate you will not be disappointed. These properties are a credit to Jo & Giles who clearly give 100% to their business in both maintaining the barns and also as hosts to ensure you have the best holiday possible. Thanks for an amazing stay and we look forward to seeing you next year.

    Booked it for my husband's 70 th birthday. There were 8 of us with 2 dogs. There was plenty of room for us all & the dogs were well catered for with treats, towels and a throw for the furniture. Jo and Giles went above and beyond providing meals - which were plentiful and delicious - and a lovely cake. Even a hiccup with the heating was no trouble for them. On the whole we had no problems and would certainly come again but in the summer to sit in the garden and take in the beautiful views. Please note that when it says steep stairs. They mean steep stairs.! You have been warned. Having conquered them you have your own private retreat. Thank you again for a very memorable time. Joe said it was the best birthday he has ever had.

  • "Hollydale is an Exceptional property."

    Jo and Giles have thought of everything we might need and their attention to detail really made this a special stay for my family. Visited with 3 adult children and their partners. Everyone had their own en suite facilities which was great. The games room was a huge hit and a welcome relief from the scorching heat we were lucky to have! The sauna was only used a couple of times (because of the weather) but when we did use it we were very pleasantly surprised; the unit was spotlessly clean and heated up to over 90 degrees, just like being at a spa! Our girls cooked up a storm in the beautifully appointed kitchen and we enjoyed ‘al fresco’ dining in the the tiki hut every night. We didn’t need to worry about late night hot tub dips and games room competitions with a lot of chatter, as the facilities were situated so that any noise we made didn’t travel over to neighbouring properties. Although there are two other properties on the site, the layout of all three meant every party had their privacy. Two minor things needed addressing at the property and these were attended literally within ten minutes of letting Giles know. Jo, Giles and daughter-in-law Laura were always available to help but never intrusive. The icing on the cake for me was that after a fabulous family holiday, my husband and I stayed for another few days in Parlour Barn, one of the other two properties on the site, which was stunning; beautifully designed and decorated, with All of the same outdoor facilities. Beautiful views and glorious sunsets to enjoy while sipping a glass of wine (or two). Three days of peace and tranquillity to round off a fabulous holiday. Thank you. We’d love to come back for another visit.

  • "We had a really lovely holiday at Holly Dale House, the house and surrounding area are both beautiful."

    The house has everything that you need and much more! There is so much attention to detail and little touches which make the house very special. We took our dogs and two teenage sons with us and it was perfect for everyone. We all enjoyed the Games Shack so much, we have stayed in properties with games rooms before, but this was the best we've seen by far. The outdoor dining hut was brilliant and so cosy with the heater on and the hot tub was fantastic, as are the views from everywhere around the house and garden. The boys particularly enjoyed the 'Gnome Room' with the PS4, very quirky and a brilliant idea. The house is very well designed for taking dogs and again lots of nice little touches to help keep your pets safe and comfortable. Our weather was mixed whilst we were there, but whether rain or shine, the house was perfect. I would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone and would suit almost any family or group of friends. We will certainly look to return with friends and family and would also look at renting the barns next door too. The barns and house together would be perfect for a special celebration for a large group.

  • "It was absolutely perfect!"

    Anything you could need was available. The accommodation was fitted to the highest standards and was absolutely spotless. It’s also a great location to make trips to scenic spots. And the market town of Leek is barely 5 mins drive and everything is available there. Will definitely return!
