The Corner House

Good location for visiting all the sights and attractions in Staffordshire Moorlands and the Peak District.

When we first walked in to Corner Cottage we felt at home.

It was as if we were visiting friends and they had just popped out. The setting of each room was tastefully done. We are plant lovers and to see plants in the house was particularly welcoming. Although we did not cook any meals, we could see that there was everything you would need. The gardens too were neat and tidy with lovely plants, tastefully set out. A real home from home.Thank you.

Superb in every way: accommodation, comfort, facilities and location.

The garden was a delight, having grown organically since pictures were taken. Great dog walking near by in JCB park. Denstone Farm Shop is an Aladdin's Cave of goodies and Dimmingstone Wood is definitely worth a visit (or two), great for dog walking and treats for humans at Rambler's Retreat. Central location for visitng Ashbourne and surrounding area. As self catering veterans, this is one of the best properties we have stayed at and look forward to visiting again.

Superb, modern property, within easy walking distance to shops (2) and fish and chip shop.

Booked the Indian restaurant but it had closed! Tony and Sue had thought of every possible item for our comfort and all kitchen, shower and utility machinery worked perfectly. The log fire in the living room was a delight to sit beside. Only a very short drive to the lake at JCB and the delightful pubs and cafe/farm shjop at Denstone. We hope to come again next year.

Beautifully maintained house, well equipped and lovely gifts and note of owners.

Perfect base to explore surrounding area.

A very cosy and well-equipped property.

The owners sent us a digital copy of the information pack in advance which is the first time we have received one and was very welcome. The local chip shop was excellent, with an extensive range of meals.

Lovely clean and comfortable house everything you need.

Not much in the village,a pub ,chippy and couple of shops but some lovely villages within a short drive.Welcome hamper and fresh flowers were a nice touch and treats for the dog. Garden dog friendly

Great house, perfect for visiting Alton Towers

Lovely house everything you need,also very quiet in the corner Lovely garden for the dogs.

Weather not too good but still had a good week. Would definitely go back.

Fab cottage with excellent amenities and finishing touches.

Very comfortable and homely cottage and we had a brilliant time. 10/10

Very comfortable & well appointed property.

Excellent location for places of interest,walking,pubs & eateries.

We had a lovely stay, great small touches and quiet area.

Would love to come back

Lovely property with everything we needed for our week away.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage was exactly as described, very clean and equipped.

Felt comfortable straight away, very relaxing stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Corner House, a late booking to see how the weather developed, which turned out dry, sunny and got warmer as week progressed

A lovely home from home.

The owners have put a lot of thought into the details of how to make your stay there as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Would not hesitate to book there again.

Ideal location for Alton Towers.

House was clean and comfortable. The treats left for us were a lovely touch. We had a problem with the EV charger but Sue was very responsive and this was resolved quickly. We would stay again.

Beautiful house.

Lovely welcome pack which humans and dog enjoyed. Kitchen exceptionally well equipped, decor and furnishings throughout of high quality. Felt at home, relaxed and very comfortable. On site EV charger was a great bonus. Hope to return.

The corner house was clean and comfortable and well equipped.

Just a couple of things we thought could have been done, putting blinds in living room and kingsize bedroom to make it more private. We did have a lovely relaxing holiday there and would recommend it. The kingsize mattress was so comfy we ordered one when we got home.

Excellent house for exploring the peak district and wider areas.

It is really a home from home, very well equipped, it even has a slow cooker. Lovely secure garden for the dogs and the electric charger is a huge bonus and well priced. Recommend the food at the local.oub the Red Lion, this is a true locals pub so can get loud. The local Panacea is also worth a visit.

The house was lovely and exactly as advertised.

It was spotlessly clean and had every item you could possibly need. A good location for days out. Perfect for a dog with the secure garden. The only downsides were the 'Alexa run' TV which try as we might could not get a TV guide on so had to go into every app to see what each channel was showing, and the fact the property had only one toilet which was in the main bathroom, which meant if anyone was using the shower/bath/toilet then everyone else had to cross their legs, which with 2 adults and 2 teenagers made it quite difficult in the mornings. Even just a toilet downstairs would have made it much easier. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property to rent and use as a home from home whilst visiting the area

What a wonderful house made into a home.

They have really thought of everything that you may need during your stay. The cul-de-sac was lovely and quiet, such a perfect location for visiting the peak district and close enough to visit the big cities. Lots to do within the area and supermarkets only 15 mins away. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely stay at corner house in early July the house was beautiful we were welcomed by a little tray of goodies and milk in the fridge our stay was very comfortable I loved the pillows on the bed best I've ever slept on .

The garden was lovely just a shame we couldn't make us of it due to the weather the kitchen had everything you could need and more. Thank you for a lovely stay and hopefully we will come back . Thanks Helen and mark

Absolutely fantastic property, went above and beyond our expectations

The Corner House is an exceptionally well run and well presented holiday home.

It was clean on arrival, and we were impressed with the level of amenities at a high standard, and the extra items provided for guests. It is well placed, - in a quiet cul de sac, with secure parking, and a well maintained and pretty garden. As described, the house is in easy walking distance of the central shop. Plenty of interesting and varied places to visit within an hour's drive, many of these much closer.

This was our 3rd visit to this lovely property.

We were celebrating my birthday and our anniversary. The corner house has everything you could need and more. The welcome basket of biscuits, wine and flowers was a lovely touch. We went into Ashbourne, fairways garden centre and Denstone farm shop. We also attended a lovely Sunday market in Leek. A walk round JCB lake is a must if you have a dog. Our dog loved it! Would love to come back again! Many thanks

Pristine.

My only concern was not expecting to be in a housing estate, unless I missed anything in the write up.

No local dog walks so always had to use car

Lovely stay in the Corner House.

Enjoyed our week. Super clean and well maintained property.

Beautiful property in a lovely quiet village.

Perfect base to explore the Peak District & Alton Towers. Everything catered for & a lovely welcome gift pack.

We stayed at the Cornerhouse, Rochester from the 25th to 29th April 2024, the house was immaculate and every home comfort was provided, including a welcome tray left by the owners, which included Wine (always appreicated) and a pint of milk, a necessity having arrived after 10pm.

We were visiting Alton Towers and this was a 15 minute drive away, so very convenient. I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation and would rate it 10/10. Catherine, Ireland.

Lovely holiday house was beautifully set out thankyou

Fantastic house well appointed with everything you need

Beautiful place and very well looked after.

We have got used to taking certain bits with us, eg scales, sharp knives, scissors etc, however the Corner House had everything we needed. It is no exaggeration to say it literally had everything. We loved it.

Lovely stay at the Corner House over the Christmas break, with some really nice festive touches (a real tree!

). The house is lovely and cosy, well-equipped and super-handy for visiting friends and family, with great walks nearby too. The midweek takeaway from the local Indian was an . unexpected treat - one of the best I've had in ages!

Instantly felt hat home with our 3 year old, was cosy and warm, lovely inside, clean and tidy with some lovely little touches.

Would definitely book again if needing a place while in the area.

We had a lovely time at the corner house cottage.

We are looking forward to coming again at a later date

As soon as we walked into The CornerHouse in Rocester we knew we'd found our spiritual home.

Beautifully decorated, maintained, furnished and curated, this house in "the JCB village" put a smile on our faces straight away. The flowers on the dining table, a welcome card from Tony & Sue and the beautiful welcome pack, with dog treats, made us feel very welcome indeed. The garden is a super size and really pretty with the, initially shared, driveway opening out into a private, gated, parking area that is a real asset. The garden is fully enclosed for our doggy pals, with plenty of sniffs to explore. We had a couple of minor issues, one being with the smart tv which needed a retune, but Tony was super responsive and came over to sort it out really quickly, which was brilliant! The village is a delight and it benefits from some of the JCB money that comes into the area. A walk around the grounds of the JCB World Headquarters site is well worth it. Although with the extensive birdlife in the grounds and on the lake you do need to keep your dog on a lead. You might even see the boss man arriving or leaving in his helicopter, as we did, how the other 0.1% live huh. Tony and Sue have thought of so many little extras in the house, things like digital scales in the kitchen if you want to cook "properly". The kind of thing that we bring from home, not usually expecting to find them! The lounge / diner is very comfortable and a good size. We didn't get to benefit from the log burner as we were there during a late summer heatwave but we can confirm that the central heating on our last, chilly, evening is super efficient. The kitchen is a delight, and very well equipped, although I would suggest that some tiles or a piece of glass are put up behind the stove top to save the beautifully painted wall from cooking splashes. The two bedrooms are super comfy with plenty of wardrobe and storage space. The bathroom has been well fitted out, although the fixed glass screen on the R shaped bath can make reaching the taps a little bit tricky on the old back, but that's a minor hassle overall. The bed linen and towels are sumptuous, together with proper flannels and liquid soap, bubble bath etc all in beautiful glass bottles. We suspect the products may come from the Eco shop in Uttoxeter but we can neither confirm nor deny that! I think Sue's keeping her sources a closely guarded secret myself ; - ) This part of the country is stunning, however we were somewhat taken aback at the relative lack of dog friendliness locally. Although Denstone Farm shop is lovely being banished with your dog to a wooden hut away from the main building that is quite literally labelled "The Dog House" isn't our idea of dog friendliness. The Ramblers Retreat slightly further afield does the same, we didn't stay there for brunch in the end because sitting in a cramped wooden shed on a cold, wet day in September really wasn't our idea of fun. We can, however, thoroughly recommend BEAR on Uttoxeter High Street. It is properly dog friendly with water bowls easily to hand for you to fill up for your pooch. Over the border in Derbyshire Chatsworth House is really dog friendly too and although there is a separate area for dog owners to sit with their hounds to eat in the Courtyard cafe you don't feel like a pariah. Indeed most of the sofas in that area were being taken up by non dog owners on the day we visited as they are so comfy! Although naturally you can't take your dog into the main house they are very welcome in the shop. A very sensible marketing trick in my humble opinion because you're far more likely to spend money somewhere where you're made to feel welcome. We didn't pay to go in the cultivated garden but the surrounding parkland makes for a great, lead on, dog walk after lunch. The Duncombe Arms in Ellastone in the next village along to Rocester is also very dog friendly, with brilliant service. We had a delicious evening meal there on the Sunday evening. All in all we can heartily recommend The Cornerhouse, we hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Thank you again to Tony and Sue for their hospitality.

Absolutely lovely, home from home.

Everything you need and more. Enclosed garden was beautiful and safe for digs and children. Great base for exploring the area and beyond. Or to just chill and relax. Will definitely be back. Thank you to Tony & Sue for opening their house to us x

What a beautiful cottage,everything you could possably won't.

we loved watching the birds and the butterfly's the garden was wonderfull for our little dog he loved running after his ball. The kitchen was great we did a bit of cooking in it,the cooker I would have loved to take home ,the cottage is so quiet and peaceful we enjoyed our stay very much we would love to come back and we will definitely will It's a real credit to you thank you Karen John and Charlie says thank you for his treats

Supremely clean , comfortable and fully equipped and unlike any other property we’ve stayed at .

Cosy, thoughtfully appointed, great for our trips out and dog walking

One of the best properties we have ever stayed in!

Probably the only garden that has been fully secure and I have felt completely confident leaving the dog outside unattended. The garden was absolutely beautiful and was full of wildlife!!

What a great cottage.

Peaceful location. Everything you need and ideal for exploring the Peak District and Derbyshire. Comfortable beds and a lovely garden. Highly recommended!!

Such a comfortable, cozy and well-equipped house.

Tony & Sue make sure you don’t need for anything. A spacious family home that was in a great location for us and our two kids. Plenty to do in the surrounding area.

Our stay here was lovely.

The cottage was so clean and very nicely furnished. The kitchen had everything you could need and having a utility room with washing machine and tumble was great. The owners thought of everything, dishwasher pods, washing powder and toiletries in the bathroom. The welcome hamper was a great bonus. We had a problem with the television and owners response was really good and it was mended in hours. I would really recommend this cottage to others wanting to stay in the area. Loads of good walking nearby, great cafes and restaurants. 5 star place.

We felt 'at home'.

The property is well decorated and designed, a most comfortable and well equipped house. Pretty garden and EV charger a great boon. Location excellent.

Our 2nd stay at The Cornerhouse.

Lovely place with every possible amenity you could wish for. Our little dog loved playing in the safe and secure garden. Did quite a bit of sightseeing, even though the weather was against us once again. Many thanks to Tony and Sue for the lovely welcome pack. Milk, wine and treats for us all. Please let us know when we might expect good weather?? We’d love to relax in the garden there. Maybe 3rd time lucky for that!

We had a wonderful stay.

The house had everything needed for a long weekend. The garden was perfect for the dogs, enclosed and secure. 30 min drive took us to Dimmingdale and Downs Bank, 5 mins to a farm shop and Cafe and 3 min walk to the nearest shop and pub. A perfect weekend.

Home from home experience.

Everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, welcoming and cosy. Thank you for the hospitality treats which were delicious and we appreciated the milk, tea and condiments, plus essentials. This is how all holiday let's should be. We enjoyed the log burner on a wet evening. The bed was comfortable and the bedroom restful. We both slept well every night. Recommend The Duncombe Arms for eating but book in advance, Afternoon tea in the dog room at Denstone Farm was nice but be aware that the shop is not dog friendly anywhere inside. Our two dogs enjoyed running around and sniffing in the garden and we all enjoyed watching the bird life. We will be back as there was so much to see in the area.

We had a wonderful stay.

The owners have put a lot of thought in to making you feel welcome and at home. It definitely feels like you are staying in a personal, cosy home. For my fellow twin parents- you can comfortably fit two travel cots in the bedroom (one was provided by the house and one we bought with us). It was a really relaxing stay. The proximity to Alton Towers is unbeatable and there is so much else to do in the area. Have already been recommending this place to several friends!

Lovely place great location.

The house was equipped with everything you could need. Bed was comfortable. Welcome pack was a lovely touch.

The place was beautiful and the owners had thought of everything.

We felt welcome from the moment we first walked in. Realy lovely and will look to book it again in the future

Beautiful holiday home with every comfort you need as a home away from home.

Lovely garden and very kind and warm hosts.

This is a beautifully styled house with a spacious garden and a good size driveway.

It's incredibly comfortable and every need is catered for. I felt like I was living in luxury considering the incredibly reasonable price. The owner was wonderfully helpful and understanding when I caused a problem. There's an amazing farm shop nearby, plus lovely pubs for drinks and food, and the birds round the JCB lake are incredible. Not far from Ashbourne and Uttoxeter for shopping. I would definitely recommend this house.

I am Rosemary's companion answering this.

We had a very comfortable stay even though the weather was not the best. The kitchen was well equipped only one addition needed was a pair of tongs to help turn things over but personal choice. The greeting pack was very good, cupcakes, crisps, a bottle of plonk and a pint of milk, a great start. The drive way was tight for our car to get in with the warning lights going off as I gingerly proceeded through each time. Plenty of room to turn once inside and a great garden, not overlooked. The beds and bedding were clean, comfortable and the heating worked well to keep us cosy in the evening. The bath/shower worked well, only thing I think should be passed on to the owners as they may be unaware is the bath waste takes a long time to flow away leaving one paddling after a shower. The location is central to get to most parts of the peak district easily, situated in a quiet corner of a housing estate. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and yes would recommend.

We chose The Corner House for it's location, enclosed garden for the dogs and on-site EV charging.

It didn't disappoint! There was a great welcome pack from Tony including treats for the dogs! Thank you. It's located in a very quiet cul-de-sac and is only 5 minutes walk to the centre of the village. We really enjoyed the takeaway from the Panacea Indian restaurant, so much so we had 2 meals from there! The pub was friendly and served a good pint of Pedigree. Not having toured the area before, we were surprised how picturesque and rural the landscape is. Lots of great walks for the dogs! Everyone was very friendly. We'd definitely visit the area again and The Corner House would be top of the list for accommodation.

Really comfy house and super-convenient for visiting family & friends nearby.

The house is really well kitted-out and cosy. The enclosed garden and nearby JCB lake was ideal for coming away with the dog, even in a wet week in January. It's a short drive south of the Peak District and very close to Alton Towers. I've already booked again!

We had an amazing stay at TheCorner House over the Christmas period.

It is a delightful and cosy property with pretty much everything available that you could ask for. We took loads of stuff with us ‘just in case’ and we really didn’t need to! It is beautifully decorated and furnished and we felt at home immediately. The utility room and lovely secure garden was such a bonus with our 2 dogs, especially when the weather wasn’t so great!! We will almost certainly go back as our daughter lives nearby and sometimes she just might not want us in her house for our whole stay!!! Tony and Sue left us lots of little treats and even put up a christmas tree, hung some lights and left us a lovely vase of flowers! When I made an enquiry about something they were quick to respond and would have come to help if necessary (not needed in the end!!) It is perfectly placed for Alton Towers, Uttoxeter races, a short drive to the Peak District and lots of lovely local walks too!! The JCB lake is in easy walking distance of the property and is ideal for a not too long and not too dirty dog walk. The village of rocester itself has a friendly pub, a tasty chippy (which we sampled) and also an Indian takeaway and a local shop (which we didn’t!!). There is a farm shop in the next village and the pies from there were amazing!! It’s only a ten minute drive to Uttoxeter where you have tesco, Waitrose, asda plus lots of smaller shops! All in all, a perfect place to base yourself!

we loved the corner house it had everything you needed and a very dog safe garden.

the log burner made it very cosy in the evenings.

We had a great week in a lovely quiet property that was spotless and very well equipped.

Beautiful local area and the village caters to home cooking, takeaway or dining out. highley recommended

Perfect property for exploring the area.

Lovely well maintained, clean, comfortable and warm house with all mod cons in a very quiet location. Spacious secure garden was ideal for our dog. The owners left us some lovely welcome treats which we very much appreciated. Location was ideal for visiting interesting local villages and scenic countryside walks. Denstones farm shop is a must for a tasty lunch and Daltons ice creams are delicious. Will definitely book this property again.

The property was very nice and very well appointed, my sister in law and husband met the owners who were very pleasant and let us have the keys straight away.

There was a lovely welcome card, bottle of wine, crisps, cakes and biscuits for the dog. The owner had left a pack of two cakes so came and found us at the pub and brought another pack! Very nice of him. All very good we had a lovely time the information pack was also very useful and excellent Wi-Fi thank you very much

Amazing stay in spite of the weather.

From arriving and closing the gates(very safe garden for our little dog) and leaving 4 days later, we had everything we needed. Everything is done to a very high standard, and tastefully decorated throughout. The treats and welcome note left for us was a lovely touch . Even wine and milk. What more could we ask for? The book provided was very informative about the local area. Managed to visit most of the places we wanted to even though the weather was against us. This just means we will have to return in the near future if you’ll have us? Thanks again Tony and Sue

Our stay at the Corner House was perfect The house had everything we needed and more plenty of room to relax cook etc .

The area was a bit built up and we did wonder if it would be noisy ?.It was exactly the opposite .very quiet and peaceful all week Our dog enjoyed exploring in the lovely garden and it was very secure .so no worries at all .. Parking the car was easy behind the gates . It was a shame the Red Lion Pub had stopped serving meals .but still nice to go for a nice pint in the boiling hot heat . The area was ideal good dog walks and everyone we spoke to was very friendly Thoroughly enjoyed it . Joyce Pete Evie .

The place was beautiful and had everything you need, the owners were very attentive making sure we arrived and all was well.

They even had some lovely treats and a welcoming card, made us feel special. It definitely beats hotels and other places we stayed at. I would definitely recommend the place for anyone who wants to feel at home weather you want a short or long break. The area was quite and there was parking in the driveway. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic place to stay!

Real home from home and perfect location for our needs. The cottage was clean..very well equipped including all the tea..coffee..shower gel etc etc - we could seriously of left so much at home! Lovely welcome gift from owners and great community with them throughout. Will be booking again!

We would have given this property full marks if only it had been equiped with an iron and ironing board.

A quick phone call to the landlord resulted in an immediate delivery of said missing items.When you have been away for more than a few days then those 2 items are essential.Thank you for prompt delivery.Everything else was perfect. Val and Mike Reynolds.

The Cornerhouse met all our expectations.

A very modern & comfortable home with a secure garden for our dog. Lived up to Sykes description and more!

House very up to date inside, garden well looked after and if you are into birds watching there are plenty to watch.

village very close by and the small shop was will stocked, the only grumble we did not like the water and when we go again take bottled. the week away the weather was kind to us. you can park off road which is a bonus and behind looked gate if you want to but we never did felt safe there.

We chose to stay at the corner house as we were looking after our daughters dog.

It was perfect. Lovely sunny garden with interesting plants in what felt like woodland setting Plenty of room for us and the dog. I cooked lots of meals from scratch and everything I needed was provided. It was one of the best places we have stayed with lots of extra comforts provided. Local walks from doorstep so we were very happy !

Lovely house with everything you need in kitchen.

Sofas comfy (not always the case in holiday lets) and nice plush carpets. Garden was wonderful with plants & shrubs. Lovely welcome pack (cup cakes, crisps, wine, dog treats, milk and a bunch of flowers on the dining table. Despite it being in quite a built-up area, it was surprisingly quiet. Would highly recommend.

A lovely property, beautifully done out with everything you could ask for.

A perfect base for Alton Towers and the surrounding area.

The accomodation was very comfortable loved the home touches.

The wine and crisps left for us was a nice

Really warm welcome, well managed.

Lovely stay, clean and comfortable accommodation ideal for visiting peak district

In a quiet location in Rocester, we found this gem.

A very well equipped home from home. Beautiful inside and out, with plenty of thought for creature comforts. Rocester has numerous walks on the doorstep,and the JCB lakes are breathtaking, especially in Spring. 5 stars from us.An ideal situation for Ashbourne, Alton Towers etc.

The Corner house was very clean and cosy.

The area around is also very nice. The street is also quite. The house has everything you could need in a holiday stay.

Hi Tony & Sue, we would just like to say that your holiday house was probably the best equipped we have stayed in.

Loved your soaps and washing liquids in the glass bottles. Also loved the pancake Tuesday jar with all ingredients; the treats for our dog, the bottle of wine, the cakes, I could go on...However the most important of all the bed, bed linen, and pillows were the best we have every slept in away from home. Thanks again. Helen John and Harley
