“Lovely quaint cottage with a homely feel to it.”

It's in a nice area with quite a few places to visit.

“This is a perfect little cottage for two and their dog.”

We enjoyed our stay immensely and were made to feel very welcome. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a great break and little touches like the welcome pack made it that much better. The underfloor heating was excellent and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. We would definitely come back.

“Swallow Cottage is the perfect little base for getaway.”

Cosy yet practical, with a beautifully stocked kitchen (a corkscrew! Wine glasses! Decent saucepans! Sharp kitchen knives!!), a roomy and comfortable bedroom, and a lovely bathroom it has everything you need. The garden is nice and secure for dogs, so we were able to let our staffie run around and enjoy herself. Hosts Darren and Louise are lovely and made us feel so welcome, but weren't at all intrusive. We had a perfect break away from the city here in such beautiful surroundings - in fact, we got engaged! We will definitely be back.

- Mrs Chapman, September 2018
“Beautiful clean cottage, brilliant location!”

The owners are very helpful! Couldn't have asked for better!

“Louise and Darren were very helpful, very welcoming and took care of the little things that make a holiday special, like the toiletries & things in the kitchen that you mostly have to buy yourself.”

The biscuits and the milk were very much appreciated as well. We loved the cottage and would definitely return. Lionel & Debbie

“Lovely cosy cottage, ideal for exploring the area.”

Could have used a small clothes horse to dry our clothes as the weather was very wet.

Well equipped though lacking an iron. Nice garden with views and well enclosed for our dog.

We really enjoyed staying in this clean,cosy, well equipped cottage.We liked the dark stone floor tiles with underfloor heating ,the white walls with nice artwork and a modern clock hanging on them,,the wooden doors and beams .The huge white bath was lovely.The wifi ,tv and radio were all useful.

Moorland View Farm Cottages

These two cosy cottages are located in a courtyard in the grounds of the owner’s B&B in the small hamlet of Winkhill, set in an elevated position in five acres overlooking stunning countryside near the market towns of Leek and Ashbourne. The cottages are a lovely conversion of traditional Staffordshire stone buildings, blending original features and modern styling with exposed beams. Outside, both cottages have beautiful gardens to sit and take in the glorious views. There are many pubs and restaurants nearby and you can even arrange to have your breakfast next door if you fancy it (pending availability). There are stunning walks to be taken in Mill Dale and Dove Dale or you can explore the National Trust’s Hawksmoor, an ancient forest nature reserve. Within half an hour's drive, guests can enjoy a round of golf on the excellent course at Whiston. The area offers many ancient relics from its industrial past, namely the Caldon Canal built in 1776 and restored in 1974, which runs through the Churnet Valley. Visitors can also enjoy a ride on the Churnet Valley Steam Railway. Alton Towers is just a short drive away, as are the Staffordshire Potteries, the market towns of Ashbourne and Leek, Uttoxeter Racecourse and the majestic Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Lyme Park and Blackbrook Zoological Gardens. A great base for a memorable holiday at any time of the year
