“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.

“Great place to relax & get away from it all.”

Cottage was just right for 2 & dog, who loved the garden. Lots of nice walks, especially Milldale. Would return. Liz,Dave& Harvey.

- Dr Hall, 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
“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
“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 Sheppard, August 2019

- Mr Roberts, April 2019
“Fantastic weekend, meet all our requirements, definitely use again.”

- Ms Winders, April 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!

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

- Mrs Garratt, March 2019
“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
“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
“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
“Lovely cottage with everything we needed.”

Well placed for good eating places at local pubs. Great walking country with our dog. Lots of country parks and lakeside walks. Excellent holiday

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

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

- Mr Hickman, 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

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

- Mrs Dawber, March 2018

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

The friendly owners lived nearby should one need help.

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
