• "Wonderful holiday ideal place to visit so many places in Staffordshire and Derbyshire."

  As the weather was amazing so didn't do much but relax and enjoy sitting outside watching the many birds at feeders, read lots of books. Cottage is so welcoming as were the hosts Caroline and Tim. Loved the welcome pack and the fact that we were on a working farm. with the added bonus of meeting "Welly" and going blackberry picking. Visited" The World of Wedgewood" well worth booking a table in restaurant if you want lunch but we were so lucky they were able to fit us in .Amazing Food at very affordable prices. Will be back to The Riddings

• "We received a warm welcome from Caroline and Tim on arrival."

  The cottage itself was lovely and in such a peaceful spot. The cottage was spotlessly clean and really well equipped. The bed linen was good quality and there were large towels provided for the shower. The strength of the Wi-Fi was great too. I did find the cooker a little tricky to get the hang of at first. All in all a great place, one to recommend and we would not hesitate to go back.

• "We loved our long weekend at The Riddings Cottage."

  It began perfectly with impeccable directions sent through by Caroline (follow them and you'll find it!),and a warm, friendly welcome from Tim. They were both wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They were around enough if we needed any assistance or advice on the local area but weren't intrusive in any way and the cottage felt very private. Is it the perfect location to explore the Peak District and surrounding area. We thought it might be busy as it was bank holiday. sunny and half term but it was very peaceful in the local areas. We would love to come back another time and will certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely break in the countryside.

• "Travel instructions are clear, and we can't miss the college."

  I spent there a week for Christmas 2019, and arrived in the college's last day, when all the students left, so the way go up was extremely busy in that short way. But after that it was the quietest place during my holiday. Warm welcome from Caroline and Tim, lovely welcome pack in the kitchen. I loved the old style of the cooker and oven and I couldn't use them enough:) Also, for me a big fridge/freezer was a bonus, as most holiday cottages provide just small ones. I also had a nice little Christmas tree in the corner, which I appreciated:) Nice, dry, clean and warm annexe, very spacious, comfy with a huge bed, double sized walk-in shower, really comfortable for all ages. The area is lovely, and though the weather and time of the year didn't allow me to see much, but I was lucky to visit a few. Close to Peak District and some National Trust sites, such as Shughborough Estate, Trentham estate and gardens, Ilam park. Relaxing, quiet and calm place and I got the peaceful Christmas I wished for.
