Orchard Barn

We had a lovely stay at Orchard Barn.

We had everything that we needed for our week away. Our children loved the hot tub and football goal and there was ample space for a family of 4. We would highly recommend and would definitely return. Rachel (the owner) was very welcoming, helpful and friendly.

We have just spent a wonderful week at Orchard Barn.

The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The enclosed garden was perfect for our two spaniels and kids. The hot tub was lovely and perfect for relaxing after a day out. Rachael and Paul made us feel very welcome and were so helpful, We really appreciated their hospitality and the cupcakes when we arrived were a cute little touch. We would highly recommend Orchard Barn and would definitely love to return sooner rather than later. We’d also highly recommend the Shoulder of Mutton pub, which was well worth a visit and there are plenty of nice dog walks nearby. A couple of us spent a day at Blake Hall fishery which was also very good.

We had a lovely break in this cottage.

The owners were very welcoming and even very forgiving when a stray ball from my boy playing in the garden broke a window pane in the greenhouse! Contrary to a recent (rather bizarre) review, the cottage was spotless, including the blinds!! The bedrooms were comfortable and cosy. The hot tub was fab albeit the weather was so hot, we gave it a miss the first night! The goal in the garden was a lovely touch for my football-mad boy. The location was excellent and catered for the varying needs to keep all of the family entertained; Cannock Chase, McArther Glen, The Peaks and Alton Towers all within 30min drive. I personally don’t think the photos do it justice for how cosy a cottage it is and how tranquil a setting it was. When we next decide to head to this part of the world, we’ll definitely look to stay here again.

Great cottage, lovely garden and walking distance to a pub.

Property appeared clean on arrival, the blinds were all thick with dust/dirt,dining table very sticky,we tried twice to wash it,bathroom extracter fan full of dust,basin plug hole full of hair, which we removed.

.Garden not secure for small dog.Unable to get the internet as signal too weak,so television was very restricted, assume the internet is shared between the other three properties.A teapot,washing up bowl,tray and soft broom would have been nice,our dog brought cut grass in and we had to use the mop to sweep the grass into the corners, the mop had no bucket to use either..The bathroom towel radiator never came on during our stay, bathroom was cold of an evening and the towels would have dried..WE brought our own towels for the hot tub but once damp there was no where to hang them,a washing line or some sort of facilitiy to let them dry would be nice.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Hot tub was fabulous and the secure dog friendly garden really helped to make our holiday. Location was fantastic and the local pub The Shoulder of Mutton is dog, and people, friendly and well worth more than one visit - but do check the opening times. As stated, occasionally the WiFi signal dropped, but still left you with access to Freeview TV. Though if at a real loss for something to do watching the squirrels from the hot tub was better than Netflix.

The property was fantastic.

The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the log fire was well stocked. There was even prosecco and cupcakes left for us on arrival. Thanks again Rachael & co for a great stay :)

We had a fabulous week at Orchard Barn.

It was situated in a great location ideal for visiting our family and friends for our pre Christmas get togethers. The local pub (The Shoulder of Mutton) served great food with a great atmosphere. The barn was spotless and extremely cosy, especially the hot tub. The host was amazing and very helpful and friendly. Our dog absolutely loved the enclosed garden. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely property.

Very clean and well equipped. Fully enclosed garden which is excellent for dogs. No issues. Would recommend.

Gorgeous property with everything you need for a lovely stay.

Property was really private even though it is next door to the owners, and is not far from local amenities and lots to do in the area. Dog friendly which is a must for us. We all had a wonderful, relaxing time.

The property was spotless when we arrived and smelt incredible.

The bedding smelt amazing the comfort shone through it all. There wasn’t an inch of dirt anywhere! there was everything that we needed. The hot tub was amazing to use and an amazing added extra. we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get away and will definitely be returning. Thank you so much x

Me, my husband and our two young girls had a wonderful break at Orchard Barn.

Everything about the property was beautiful and the host was very attentive and helpful. Great hot tub and in lovely surroundings. The food, drink and atmosphere at the local shoulder of mutton was amazing as was the service. Will definitely book to stay again, thank you!

Wonderful hosts, fantastic property.

Fabulous accommodation, would recommend to all if you are thinking of staying here.

Great location & lovely hosts.

What an amazing place.

Was perfect in every way. Hosts were amazing and always on hand for helpful tips. We had such a great weekend and cannot recommend it enough 10 out of 10 Thanks Scott & Lynn

We had the most wonderful two weeks at Orchard Barn.

Me, my husband, our 10 y/o daughter and Pomeranian spent Christmas and NY here and it was just perfect. The barn is cosy and warm and has all the home comforts. The hot tub is always at a lovely & warm temperature to get into and is a perfect addition to the barn. The under floor heating is a revelation and the log burner has made us realise that we need one at home

My husband and I booked for a few days away and it was wonderful.

The barn is so well done and so cosy and inviting. The location is perfect, tucked away in a little village surrounded by fields and animals and the added extra of a hot tub to come back to after a day of exploring was perfect. We will definitely be back again in the near future and have already been telling our friends/family about our lovely few days away. Thank you for having us x

Orchard Barn is an amazing cottage with amazing hosts who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.

The area is so peaceful it was just what was needed for a relaxing break. There are some really nice walks on the doorstep and plenty of other adventures in the local area just a short drive away. It was nice to have the hot tub to relax in and rest tired legs which is permanently ready for a dip. There is a local country pub in walking distance and the staff and locals are really friendly and welcoming (dog friendly too but book in advance to eat as only a few tables are dog friendly inside). We stayed for 4 nights in September and was our first time staying, will definitely be returning. When we are next staying in the area we would not think about staying anywhere else after such a fantastic stay. Thank you to Rachael and Paul for everything, the prosecco, cupcakes and stuff on arrival were much appreciated.

Had a lovely week long stay at orchard barn love everything about it especially the hot tub.

Owners were lovely and helpful will definitely be returning in the future Thankyou

The property was perfect for a family with the goals and hot tub.

The only negative (not the owners fault) was that due to it being well insulated that on hot days the place could do with a fan or some form of air conditioning. The location for all activities was perfect with everything being within a 30 mins drive.

Absolutely amazing place, very clean an well looked after, beautiful cottage so relaxing an peaceful, hot tub a added bonus can not fault the cottage or location, the owners where very warm welcoming and friendly, will definitely be booking again

We booked as a few friends to have a relax before school holidays and a birthday.

Had a wonderful time, hit tub lovely. Cottage to a high standard, very clean and owner was lovely

Absolutely beautiful place to stay for a relaxing couple of nights.

Wish we had longer. It was so comfortable and clean. The hot tub was amazing after walking around alton towers all day, and the log fire was so cosy and warm. The owners are so lovely and welcoming with the added surprise of cupcakes,prosecco and milk on our arrival lovely touch

Couldn't fault the property at all.

To start it beautifully decorated, really cosy and immaculately clean. This place really is home from home. It has everything you could want or need. Little things like foil, salt and pepper (items I usually pack and take with me, but it was nice that the hosts had thought of everything). It's probably the best equipped holiday rental I have ever been to. We was greated by Rachel, who kindly showed us around ( never had that before ). It was lovely to be welcomed with cupcakes and prosecco. The area is lovely, really quiet. The kids loved watching the tractor in the field opposite. The area had loads of lovely pubs to eat. We had a lovely chilled weekend, it was just what we needed. Would recommend Orchard Barn. Thank you Rachel and Paul

Lovely cottage.

Nice and clean. Hot tub amazing!

Nothing to fault.

Cottage was just like the pictures. Log burner easy to use every night. Used the lovely hot tub a couple of times, again really simple instructions. The double bedroom - what can I say, the bedding was so comfortable and snuggly didn’t want to leave and had it all to myself! Lovely bottle of Prosecco on ice and 4 cupcakes (and milk) upon arrival was a lovely gesture. A really relaxing week’s break in a beautifully done cottage.

This was our second vist, absolutely lovely place to stay.

Beautiful surrondings and peacful. Racheal is so welcoming, and nothing is too much trouble. The hot tub is the icing on the cake, I would highly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed.

We had a really great stay at the property from 29th December to 3rd January, had everything you could need, like a home from home really, some fantastic walks around the surrounding areas and some fabulous restaurants.

We would highly recommend this property, hosts where also fantastic, if you needed anything both Paul & Racael where a phone call away and more than accommodating. Thanks sonmuch for a wonderful getaway.

Another fabulous stay at Orchard Barn.

This is our second time at the property and it certainly did not disappoint. The underfloor heating and log burner were super and really welcome this time of year (December!) However our favourite part was the amazing hot tub which is large in size and is amazing to sit in and unwind under the stars after a busy day of exploring the area. The property is very modern and very clean and we would highly recommend this property to anyone as it certainly does not disappoint.

Such a gorgeous little cottage, everything was perfect couldn’t have asked for more.

My wife and I had a lovely week in the cottage, ideally located within an hour of several big cites.

The cottage itself is beautiful and the cherry on the top was the jacuzzi ❤️. Also thanks to Rachael who popped in shortly after our arrival, she was friendly and informative, keep up the great work the cottage is a credit to you x

We’ve stayed in a number of holiday cottages in the past 10 years and Barn Cottage is one of the best.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented, it’s in a lovely quiet rural position with a dog friendly private rear garden. It’s easily accessible by car with places to visit within easy reach. The hot tub was very relaxing and a welcome end to the day. The owner was welcoming on arrival and very helpful. Highly recommended .

Myself and my wife took our two well behaved small dogs for a week.

The property was immaculately clean, homely and presented well. The hot tub is great and the dogs love the large secure rear garden. A lovely central position for days out. All in all a lovely week away. Thank you.

Thank you so much to Rachael and Paul for providing us with a lovely stay at Orchard Barn.

The barn was beautiful with a lovely garden area. Everywhere was clean and well kept, Rachael and Paul went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay and accommodated to our needs! Truly made my daughters birthday celebrations more special!

Great for what we needed for a base for 4 days.

Kitchen bathroom, hot tub and beds all very clean. All kitchen equipment and bedding is of an excellent standard. Cottage looks lovely when you first walk in, but on closer inspection tv unit, skirting, woodwork etc were dusty and clearly hadn’t been done on change over . Units in bedroom had thick cobwebs and dust behind. That said these things didn’t affect our stay but should be acknowledged. Host was very helpful and friendly, she met us on arrival and gave us the information we needed, Prosecco and cupcakes were a lovely touch. Great location for Alton Towers, (25min drive), great pub nearby ( Shoulder of mutton). The other holiday cottage is very close, the people staying the same time as us had 3 dogs, they barked quite a lot and I could see and hear them at the upstairs windows barking in the mornings. The hot tub was wonderful for our teenagers after a day in the theme park. This was probably the highlight of the stay for them. We have stayed in a lot of cottages in the UK and I would rate this one as a solid 8/10.

Orchard barn is a lovely cosy cottage.

Located right next to a footpath perfect for the dogs early morning walks. The hot tub was a real treat particularly after long walk in the Derbyshire hills. We had an issue with the dishwasher which was being rectified but no fault of the owners. A bbq would have been a welcome addition as any holiday requires a bbq whatever the weather!! Thank you for a lovely week.

Nice cottage and convenient location for a nice family week holiday.

Excellent!

10 out of 10 for everything!

What a lovely cottage!

My wife and I stayed there for a week with our dog and absolutely loved it. The garden is large so it had plenty of space for the dog, it was so peaceful too being so far away from any busy roads and is fenced so is enclosed for the dog. The hot tub was great, it was clean and always hot. Inside the property, it is clearly well looked after and clean too. The communication from the owner (Rachael) was perfect, an email a couple of days before with additional information on how to find it, tips for when we got there, information for the dog etc and she also came to meet us in case we had any questions. Would absolutely recommend staying here - we’ll be trying to book a short stay in winter to make the most of the log burner.

This is an absolutely lovely cottage and Rachel made us feel so welcome.

Lots of things to do and see within an easy drive.

Rachel was a lovely host , cottage looks fantastic, had a lovely stay

Lovely family break.

Racheal was lovely and friendly. Would recommend to anyone

Orchard Barn, was a very cosy cottage and most importantly very clean.

There was some lovely cakes and prosecco on arrival so thank you Rachael. Would recommend to anyone who would like a few relaxing days away.

The cottage was beautiful and well equipped.

Rachael was really informative and communication was excellent both on arrival and departure. I would love to stay here again.

Wonderful barn/cottage, lovely location and very helpful owner on hand to help with any queries.

Lovely touches like freshly baked welcome cakes, prosecco and milk for our arrival. My only criticism would be how small and uncomfortable the pull out sofa bed was. Two adults dress size 10 used the sofa bed but it was very snug. Would still recommend and would probably still return should I need a place to stay in that area.

Lovely stay at Orchard Barn over Christmas.

Fabulous place, just perfect for our family of 4 and the dog. Christmas tree and decorations were a lovely touch. Log fire was beautiful and the kids loved the hot tub. Enjoyed walks and a few local pubs. Excellent communication from Rachael (owner). Will definitely return.

Wow - what a stay!

We came to this property for our mini-moon after our winter wedding at the start of December and the property was amazing from the start. Welcome cakes, milk and a bottle of Prosecco was a lovely gesture and really made us feel at home. It was super warm and the underfloor heating and log burner were a real treat! The hot tub was an added bonus which was amazing at night in the frost with the changing lights and was very spacious. All rooms were clean and fresh and the beds & bedding were super warm and comfy. Great outdoor space for our husky who loved the frosty mornings. Location is lovely and quaint and very quiet yet not too far from places if you wanted to explore - such as Trentham Shopping Village which is highly recommended. We would definitely recommend this property and will most definitely be returning again, as the hosts were more than accommodating and the property is everything we could have asked for…and more! Amazing stay and amazing property - thanks for letting us stay at your property to relax and enjoy the start of our married life in bliss. Top notch!!!! Nicola & Steve

The cottage was a lovely place to spend time; clean, comfortable, warm, modern and just the right size for our family of four.

The kids loved the bunk beds and the hot tub was a lovely feature to make the holiday feel extra relaxing. We appreciated the welcome gifts too, very thoughtful. The location was great for us with lots of great attractions within half hour journey; Alton Towers theme park and waterpark, the National Trust Children's Museum at Sudbury, the Tissington cycle Trail, Dovedale walks and National trust at Ilam and Cannock chase for biking. We liked the Ramblers retreat cafe at Dimmingslade and the Gandhi Indian takeaway. We also ventured a bit further from Tissington to Carsington Water and found there to be a fabulous park, lovely walking trail and a a really wonderful hands on exhibit about water. I'm sure we will be back!

The location of the property is lovely in a idyllic village.

The owners were really nice and the property was top class, couldn't fault a thing.

Beautiful surroundings and very nice restaurants. We would recommend Orchard Barn to anyone…. Thanks for a great stay.

Great barn conversion.

Property is very clean and comfortable. We had a great stay and loved the hot tub. Property is next to another barn and owners home, however it felt very private and owners gave us all the privacy required. Local pubs are just fab with Shoulders of Mutton being the best. We will defo go back if we visit tge area again.

Lovely comfy cottage with everything you need for a week away.

Very private garden which was great for the hot tub.

We had a lovely week at orchard barn.

This is the second time we have stayed at one of their three cottages. We love the area and it’s very dog friendly. The hosts are lovely and easy to talk too and are there if you need any advice. The cottage is lovely, it is well equipped with everything you need, and is spotless. We will be going back again!! Would definitely recommend it to family and friends. The hot tub was lovely to relax in and the bottle of Prosecco and cake’s were a treat. Thanks for a lovely stay!!

Really cosy little cottage, everything was there that we needed, perfect location for some walks with the dog…a really pleasant quiet get away

A lovely property and so clean.

Our host Rachel was very welcoming with milk and wine. Will be back again.

We stayed here in November for my partners and daughters birthday.

We had a lovely relaxing weekend. Enjoying the house, hot tub and the garden/surrounding area. We loved the style of the house, everything you needed. The owners came to show us around very friendly and welcoming.

Both myself, fiancé and dog had a lovely stay at Orchard Barn.

The facilities were exceptional, and both Rachel and Paul made us feel welcome for our whole stay. The surrounding area offers beautiful walks and local pubs to dine at, and these are all within walking distance. We will be staying here again 100%. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough.

We had a great pre-Christmas break in this lovely property.

Would heartily recommend it to anyone!

Had a very much needed break at this lovely barn conversion.

The underfloor heating, log burner were particular favourites which our puppy enjoyed too! The little welcome gifts of cakes, milk and fizz were delightful, thoughtful extras. The kitchen had everything we needed to self cater and the bed was comfy too. The local pubs are within walking distance(the shoulder of mutton was our favourite with a dog) take a torch if going in the evening whilst it is dark at night. Would absolutely return one day. Thank you for having us.

My husband and I came to stay at Orchard Barn for our mini moon after our Wedding.

We had a perfect stay and would thoroughly recommend this gorgeous cottage to anyone. Rachael and Paul were very welcoming. All in all we were extremely happy with our stay and will definitely be back

A very stylish cottage in a peaceful village.

Close to the nearest town, which had good amenities. All furnishings were high quality, settee and beds very comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic, exceptionally clean and well maintained. The owners were lovely and so was Ted the Labrador. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Orchard Barn, and would definitely come back, if I was visiting the area again. A wonderful stay was had by us all.

Where do we start, Rachael was so lovely and accommodating.

Showing us how to use the items when we arrived and being so attentive when we texted questions. The cottage was so lovely and cosy. Could not have asked for a better place to spend our first week after our wedding. Thank you for the wonderful stay! We will be back one day!

Great place with everything we needed.

Enjoyed the location, close to plenty of pubs for dinner and a short drive from Stone for supermarket. Lovely quiet area but also plenty to do for the week we spent there. Also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub under the stars.

We’ve just returned from a week long stay at Orchard Barn.

Rachael and Paul were brilliant hosts and responded quickly when we couldn’t get the oven to work on day 1. We spent a lot of time using the hot tub which was maintained to a high standard too. Our three labradors also enjoyed the garden which was secure and enclosed for their holiday enjoyment too. Wonderful stay that I can highly recommend for a relaxing week.

We have just had a wonderful 3 night stay at Orchard Barn.

Rachael and Paul really have thought of everything possible to ensure a home from home experience. The Cottage was absolutely stunning, the decor was beautiful and the cleanliness was exceptional. On arrival we were welcomed by cupcakes and Prosecco on ice which was a lovely surprise, the cottage had been freshly cleaned to a very high standard and smelt so lovely. The owners are on hand if needed but there was a very informative information pack in the cottage with everything that we needed to know. The Hot Tub is a fabulous feature along with the wonderful views and the tranquil surroundings. The local pubs serve wonderful home cooked food and the location is perfect for a get away from it all break but also very handy for some great days out.

Beautiful cottage and we had a lovely holiday.

The owners met us upon arrival and are very welcoming and left us a bottle of fizz and chocolate cake which was a nice treat. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely location and nice hosts, clean and spacious back garden for the dogs.

Hot tub great. Good for a family.

Wonderful cottage, fantastic hosts.

The location is very quiet but so easy to get to lots of walks/activities. We loved every minute of our stay, thank you so much Rachel and Paul.

Beautifully decorated barn conversion.

Lovely friendly hosts.

absolutely amazing, the cottage was beautiful and cosy.

Everything we wanted. our dog was also extremely happy and the hosts were lovely! hot tub was also an incredible feature! couldn’t recommend this cottage enough - would definitely book again!

What a beautiful cottage and wonderful hosts!

We had an amazing stay! The cottage itself was cosy, with many mod-cons making our stay easy and stress free...(well as stress free as having a toddler can be) If you are looking for some where peaceful with local amenities then look no further ! Thank you so much !

Recently stayed at Orchard Barn with my partner and cannot recommend it highly enough.

The hosts were superb with the info provided prior to arrival and the bacon, eggs milk etc in the fridge is a really nice touch. The barn has a very cosy feel and has everything you could need whether staying as a couple or family. The hot tub and other facilities give it a really luxurious feel as well. The local area is also beautiful and worth exploring with some great pubs serving nice food close by. Will definitely be coming back again!

Really beautiful barn, hosts were so lovely, email beforehand was v helpful with full directions from satnav.

Was too warm with us all in one house so text the host to help us with the heating and it was no problem at all

Had a lovely week at Orchard Barn.

The house is lovely and the hot tub was a bonus. Rachael and Paul were great hosts and the welcome gifts were really appreciated and enjoyed! We would highly recommend this property. Steve, Becky, Evie & Ellis

The Barn was absolutely lovely very clean and tidy.

Had a lovely hot tub outside. The bed was really comfy and Rachael and Paul were great hosts and made us feel very welcome with a lovely bottle of Prosecco, bacon and eggs on arrival.

Beautiful holiday cottage.

Rachael went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our weekend. The sofa bed is extremely uncomfortable though and we ended up sharing with our kids in the bunk bed the second night we stayed in order to not have to sleep on it but that would be my only small issue. Everywhere was beautifully clean. The hot tub is amazing and the garden is lovely. Our kids loved it too and enjoyed playing in the garden and picking fresh raspberries. Would highly recommend staying at orchard barn

Owners were really friendly , cottage was beautiful and loved the hot tub!

And great base for exploring stunning walks in the Peak District!

We had an amazing time at Orchard Barn, the barn was so cosy and the surroundings were very peaceful.

The owners were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The hot tub and open fire made for a very relaxing stay and we would definitely return!

Our weekend break was fabulous, Enhanced by the hospitality and thoughtfulness of Rachael the owner of Orchard Barn.

From her well directed route to the lovely welcome gift pack and then the thoughtful text message, (to ask if we had arrived safe and found everything ok ) even though she herself was away on holiday. A lovely experience for all especially 2 grandsons aged 6&8yrs . Thankyou.

Excellent from start to finish!

Friendly & welcoming hosts. Nothing to much trouble. Very private. The property & grounds were exceptional, every little detail though off. Much needed break away. It was perfect! Thank you. can't wait to return.

We stayed at this fabulous cottage over the New Year.

What a wonderful place, clean and tidy and everything you needed. Welcome package very nice. Owner was so kind and helpful. Loved the hot tub ! Would highly recommend this place.

The barn was a perfect home from home for us and our daughters aged 4 and 2, as well as our dog.

It was in a fantastic location; we visited Trentham Gardens, Shugborough Estate, Sudbury Hall and Waterworld. The barn itself is beautifully styled and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a week away. The hot tub was amazing, and the complimentary Prosecco was as a wonderful treat! Thank you Rachael!

Absolutely fantastic weekend away.

The owners were so lovely and couldn’t have helped more with everything. Will definitely visit again.

We have just returned from a wonderful half term week away at Orchard Barn.

Everything was just perfect with lovely additional extra touches. We are hoping to return next year.

Excellent instructions from owner on how to find the accommodation.

Lovely touches such as prosecco, Staffordshire oatcakes and bacon waiting in the fridge. A real gem of a find.

We have a wonderful weekend at Orchard Barn.

We went for my son’s 13th birthday. Lovely, welcoming cottage within lovely countryside. We very much enjoyed the hot tub! Can highly recommend a trip to the nearby Waterworld. Fantastic place for children of all ages! We are hoping to book to visit again

The cottage was lovely and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.

We visited some great places in the local area. We would definitely recommend if your looking for a break away.

Really fantastic!

We really appreciated the little extras in the fridge. The place was spotless and hosts were friendly. Thanks so much

We all had the best time ,the cottage was amazing kids had a great time, looking at booking next year

Lovely accommodation very well presented.

The welcome pack of bread,butter,bacon and champagne was very generous and thoughtful. The only downside is the garden is not fully enclosed so dogs could wander off. On the whole we had a great holiday.

Luxurious cottage & thoughtful hosts.

Extra addition of hot tub gave it the "wow" factor. Secluded setting. Perfect location for the attractions we wished to visit (20 - 30 minutes drive).

Lovely accommodation with a high standard of finish and attention to detail.

Really enjoyed our break!

Orchard Barn is beautifully decorated with a lovely cosy feel, very clean and the hot tub was definitely a bonus.

The property itself is situated on the owners grounds, although it felt very private. Absolutely perfect break away and highly recommended. Thank you Rachael and Paul (and Ted).

Beautifully decorated property with a wonderful hot tub.

Absolutely gorgeous place, really can’t fault anything! It was a much needed, lovely relaxing weekend away with friends. The owners were very friendly, provided a lovely breakfast welcome pack and recommended Bear in Stone for brunch. We also headed to the Secret Tea Room which we’d recommend. Location of the property is perfect as it’s close to the main roads, supermarkets & Stone but is also lovely and secluded.

Absolutely fantastic place and lovely owners!

Lovely cottage, good location.

Beautiful cottage.

Great communication from owner. Lovely walks from outside the door and nice pubs very close by.

Absolutely outstanding.

The barn is clean, modern & cosy. The bed linen & towels are luxurious. Overall high standard and worth every penny. Owners are friendly and extremely helpful. We are sad that our stay is over!

Fantastic cottage, perfect for our girls weekend away!

! Hot tub was brilliant and we used every day! Only small issue was lack of mirrors in bedrooms which when getting ready made it difficult.

Orchard Cottage was delightful.

Finished to a high standard & well equipped. The welcome pack was an unexpected bonus - thankyou. We arrived in the dark unfortunately so we were not quite sure if we were at the right address. You do need a car to go anywhere but The Spotgate Inn is a must visit. We had a great week. Thankyou Rachael.

We had a lovely, relaxing break with our two children and dog.

We were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco and a beautiful cosy cottage. Didn't want it to end!

We had a lovely weekend, Rachael and Paul were so accommodating.

The cottage was beautiful and perfect for what we were looking for - very dog friendly! Arrived to prosecco on ice, and little touches like bread, milk, eggs and bacon were also provided. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cosy escape from reality!

What a stunning place!

It has been beautifully decorated and styled. Extremely comfortable and very cosy. Heated flooring and log burned made coming in from the hot tub (which was spot on!) very pleasant indeed. We felt at home instantly, at no point did we feel overlooked, it’s all very private. Owners were very friendly and welcoming, they had even lit the fire for our arrival as it was snowing when we got there. Local pub Spot gate Inn was fun and muddy short walk and the food was fab, we dined in one of the train carriages which was really enjoyable. Trentham gardens and estate are only 20min drive which has a good range of shops and a huge garden/home centre. We will be booking again as soon as we can. Thank you very much for giving us a beautiful place to have a week needed break.

Really enjoyed our stay here it’s absolutely perfect for a relaxing short break.

For us we couldn’t fault it in any way, little touches like milk egg bread and butter and a bottle of processco on ice left for us really topped a perfect place off as it just shows how much the owners care as not many places I’ve stayed would have done that. This did not affect our stay but for others it may do so worth noting that although the place is dog friendly the garden is not 100 percent secure but as I said not a problem for us. I would definitely book again as it’s gorgeous, the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed and everything you need really is already there!

I stayed here with my partner and our dog for my birthday and had a brilliant time.

We were greeted by the owner (who was lovely) for a full show around the cottage and facilities. We also had a some bubbly waiting for us and a birthday cake for me. The cottage is situated on the owners property but we were given full privacy at all times- the owners were very friendly and explained that they were on the end of the phone if we needed them. The cottage itself is very clean and modern with everything you could need for the weekend. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family and will definitely look to book again soon.

Myself, my partner and our 2 dogs stayed here to see the new year in, and we had a great get away, there was even chilled bubbley waiting for us!

The place itself is really clean and modern, the hot tub was a real treat! Though on the owners grounds, it’s a very private area. The owners were wonderful, very polite and helpful but also left us to enjoy our break. We couldn’t fault our stay, there is a huge field near the cottage for dog walks where you can see cows and sheep. Also a lovely dog friendly pub just ten minutes walk from the cottage that has lovely food. Would definitely recommend this destination! Thank you for having us
