“Excellent use of space in cosy barn conversion.”

Very good for two with dog friendly facilities. Well fenced garden and parking space. Helpful but non intrusive hosts. WiFi variable but not in great area for reception. TV signal intermittent.

Mrs Shattock October 2020

“Lovely cottage & hosts.”

I felt very safe with the covid situation. Good walks locally. Lots of extras provided in kitchen & bathroom. Biscuits & cake also. Louise changed the heating for me twice. Very comfy large bed and small sofa. She cooked me a breakfast & brought it over. Good tv & wi fi reception. Cupboard space in kitchen was limited so I used the dishwasher as one. Toilet was high for my little legs. Dog didn't like the underfloor heating & was tempted to leap the wall after the limited traffic he also found he could push through the chicken wire at bottom of hedge. He is only just a year old, I had taken a horse training lead just incase. If he were older I think he would have been fine. I had a brilliant time & came away feeling completely refreshed.

Mr Mclaughlin February 2020

“Hi We had a lovely stay , Louise was really friendly and helpful in communicating our arrival details and offered her help if we required it during the stay.”

Lovely accommodation and right on the doorstep of good places to visit - we took the dogs for a walk up at the Roaches which has fantastic views and we’d highly recommend.

Mrs Judd September 2019

“This cottage is small but very comfortable.”

The bed is very comfortable and the whole place was clean. There are fantastic views and a large secure garden for a dog. The owner very nice but not intrusive. Plenty of parking and in an excellent location. All in all a really great place to say.

Mrs Sheppard August 2019

“Lovely clean well equipped cottage, spacious garden ideal for the dog, plenty of places to visit nearby.”

Louise & Darren are extremely welcoming, we will return!

Mrs McCollin August 2019

“Swallow Cottage is an absolutely beautiful place to rest up, recoup and explore the local areas.”

Absolutely wonderful place and Louise is a gem at looking after you and the cottage. Nothing to fault there at all. I know where I'll be if I am heading up to the Peak District area again! Thank you so much.

- Mrs McCollin, August 2019
Mr Henderson August 2019

“When we first walked in to the cottage, we thought it was a lot smaller than it looked in the pictures.”

However, having settled in to it , we found it to be a very nice and comfortable cottage. Garden was great for our dogs. Owners not on top of you, but very nice and available if wanted. Maybe a bizarre comment, but the raised toilet was excellent for someone with dodgy knees. Probably the only "down" thing is the TV reception (limited channels) but lets face it, you don't go on holiday to watch the box. Will probably return some time.

- Mr Henderson, August 2019
Dr Hall August 2019

“Great location - loved the outdoor space for the dog”

Mr Stevens March 2019

“Great cottage, location and hosts.”

Had originally booked for seven nights, but arranged with the owners to arrive one day early and because we enjoyed our stay so much extended stay for another two nights. We were familiar with the area and in spite of worse than terrible weather it did not detract from the enjoyment of our time there. We will be returning to the area and intend to stay at the very same cottage and perhapsdwe will be luckier with the weather!

Mr Williams December 2018

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

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

- Mr Williams, December 2018
Mr Rodwell-davies October 2018

“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.

- Mr Rodwell-davies, October 2018
Mr Kraus October 2018

“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.

- Mr Kraus, October 2018
Mrs Chapman September 2018

- Mr Hickman, August 2018
Mrs Lowe August 2018

“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

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
