Mrs Mee

“The little cottage was warm and cheery in a beautiful part of the countryside and Ann did everything to make our stay enjoyable and all the locals were very friendly, will definitely go again in the summer!”

- Mrs Mee, October 2020
Mrs Webster September 2020

“We had a lovely week with our dogs at Manifold Cottage, a haven of peace & quiet with amazing views.”

The cottage was cosy & warm, had everything we needed. Only downside was the water pressure in the shower, but we had been warned so didn't matter for a week. There is no wifi signal or mobile signal which we weren't bothered about anyway. Various walks direct from the cottage over moor & farmland. It wasn't far to drive to places of interest so we had a varied & enjoyable week. Owners next door in farmhouse should you need them.

- Mrs Webster, September 2020
Mrs Watson August 2020

Mrs Boyce August 2020

“Lovely cottage.”

Absolutely fabulous views. Walks in every direction from door. Including to Thors cave, which is a must see. There are no shops near, so need to take provisions. Tea, coffee, sugar, cooking oil, dog treats, and choccy biscuits are provided by owner, which was nice. Will definitely return. Peaks are beautiful.

“Only thing missing was a clock!”

- Dr Addyman, June 2019
Mr Brown June 2019

“What a lovely little place this is to stay.”

It's sooo nice to stay somewhere that's clean and comfortable, If I tried really hard to find a fault it would be a lack of Wi-Fi or phone network, but don't let this put you off because it was an excuse to walk the dogs and few hundred yards down the road I got a signal, I actually found after a day how nice it was not to have a constant ringing phone. This place is a real gem and glad to have found it

- Mr Brown, June 2019
Mrs Reeves May 2019

“Anne & Eric very helpful and kind.”

Cottage would have benefited enormously from heated towel rail in bathroom. Booster pump also needed for shower - OR - you should explain that the shower is just suitable for hair washing as it has very low pressure. Very clean and well presented - wonderfully comfortable bed - fantastic views.

- Mrs Reeves, May 2019
Mr Oliver May 2019

This cottage is fantastic beautiful views from the cottage great walks from the cottage and the owners are most helpful and kind great place to visit with great walking all around you highly recommend this cottage will certainly go back

- Mr Baker, April 2019
Ms Webley April 2019

“The cottage is lovely and cosy in an outstandingly beautiful place with views across the countryside.”

On arrival there was fresh flowers, tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and even treats for the dogs. The owner was very friendly, helpful and approachable. The only thing that would improve the experience would be a better shower. The hot water pressure is low because the tank is at ground level. Other than that minor point, we had a great time

- Ms Webley, April 2019
Mr Baker February 2019

“Lovely cottage, really nice, the only negative is the shower is poor with very little water pressure and the shower coming off the taps you only get a very small amount of water with no force behind it - they should really fit a power shower.”

Also no phone signal and no wifi, so no way of contacting the outside world (this was fine with us, but may not be suitable for everyone). Lovely quite location, feeding horses over the low garden wall was really nice. No village pub or shop, so you do need to drive to get anything.

- Mr Baker, February 2019
Mr Newton January 2019

“We had a very comfortable and relaxing time staying at Manifold Cottage.”

We were met by Ann, the owner, who was very welcoming and on hand in the farmhouse next door to deal with any queries. Gladly we didn't have to disturb her. Despite the cold weather (and snow), the cottage was very warm and cosy. Lovely views over the Manifold Valley and the two horses in the field behind the cottage were very friendly with our dog. An ideal base for exploring the Peak District National Park.

- Mr Newton, January 2019

About the location

GRINDON

Ashbourne 10 miles; Leek 7 miles.

The delightful rural village of Grindon is situated on the side of the beautiful Manifold Valley, in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Like its well-known neighbour the Dove, the Manifold cuts a course through superb scenery and is a delight for both walkers and cyclists, with the "Manifold Trail" following the route of the old Leek to Manifold Light Railway. Grindon itself is a pretty stone-built village, and close by is Butterton with a butcher's and a pub, whilst further afield is the market town of Ashbourne. The surrounding area has many pubs offering a good range of food and Alton Towers is just a 30 minute drive away.
