Well equipped kitchen and all very clean. Very comfy bed, slept SO well! Good location for Stoke and all its surrounding areas. Thank you

“This cottage was booked by my daughter as a ruby wedding anniversary present.”

She was guided by the description on the website and rented it based on this information. The cottage was exceptionally clean and of a very high standard. The space is outstanding and it is so peaceful and quiet. It's location gives relatively easy access to the main areas. We were greeted by the owner who was very pleasant indeed. The pubs in the village are ideal for meals both tasty and reasonably priced. The whole stay was totally relaxing and I would certainly recommend this property.
Mr Jones July 2019

“A fantastic cottage that is spotless clean in a great location and equipped with everything you need for your stay, 5 star and definitely 100% recommend.”
Mrs Lunn June 2019

“Beautiful area with many easily accessible sights to see.”

The cottage was lovely, well equipped, very comfortable and in a stunning spot. It was a credit to it’s owners and we would definitely book it again.
Mr Thompson May 2019

“Nice comfortable cottage in a quiet location.”

Ideally located to access the numerous local attractions.
Rev Taylor May 2019

“This was among the best self-catering accommodation we have had the pleasure to occupy.”

The high quality of simple things, such as the crockery and cooking utensils, typified the facilities of this delightful cottage for two. As it so happened, the weather was marvellous all week and in the evenings we were able to sit out on the patio, using the loungers provided; but there's no doubt we could have been very cosy there in the depths of winter. Excellent value for money, too.
Mr Knights May 2019

“Lovely comfortable Cottage, perfect for a quiet get away from it all, a good base to explore nearby places of interest.”
Mrs Flannagan April 2019

“The Lavender House is a very spacious and comfortable property, it's quiet and peaceful enough to just sit and relax or reflect, indoors and out but not too far from anything if you're doing the "sites".”

If you're lucky enough to have the sun during your stay it's on the patio all day into early evening. The cottage (and kitchen in particular) is well stocked with everything you could want - and what you don't realise you require! Crockery, utensils, linens etc are all excellent quality and the place is very clean and clearly proudly looked after. For those it matters to the wi-fi is excellent, there are ample electrical sockets in all rooms and plenty of coat hangers! Key collection and return was easy and done on property. A very comfortable place to stay, at a more than reasonable price.The photos and description although accurate do not do it the justice it deserves! I definitely recommend a stay here and wouldn't hesitate to return.
Mr Holt April 2019

“Our stay in Lavender cottage was really relaxing in its peaceful surroundings with great views.”

The weather was also fantastic over our stay, this will definitely be a place I will return to without hesitation, highly recommended
Mr Lamble April 2019

“The holiday accommodation we booked through Sykes was excellent as was its location.”

However, it is unlikely we will use Sykes again as ever since booking we have been bombarded with Sykes adverts on almost all websites we have visited since. This is overkill to the extreme.
Mr Edwards March 2019

“A lovely quiet location in the countryside with far reaching views towards Cannock Chase, but an easy drive or 15 minute walk to Yoxall with pubs and a supermarket.”

The cottage itself is extremely comfortable and has everything you need for a short or long stay whatever the season. I highly recommend this holiday home.
Mr Teed November 2018

“Lovely cottage, great views to rear, good location”
Mr Smelt October 2018

“Great cottage, sleeps 2 however with a sofa bed in the lounge there is room to sleep up to 4.”

The cottage is very well designed and has a very large roomy living area. Bathroom is very well appointed, bath and separate shower is great, sky light means you can look at the stars whilst in the bath. Kitchen is a little small, however has extra room in the utility and an extra sink too. Kitchen has all you need to cook a Sunday roast. Wood burner is great and wood supplied by the owners. One down side, there are only 2 small 2 seater sofas. A large, long sofa to curl up on together would make this the perfect romantic cottage. A stay in this cottage will not disappoint.
Mrs Spirling October 2018

“Lavender House was absolutely stunning.”

Beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable. This is without doubt the best cottage ever! The setting close to Needwood cottage was delightful. We have no complaints. The village was attractive and we enjoyed our visits to Litchfield which was convenient. To conclude - the best ever. Sandra and Tom Spirling
Mr Powell August 2018

“The cottage was as expected from the discription.”

The access to the road had very poor visability and required extreme care when leaving, the addition of mirrors would have been helpfull.
Mr Earl June 2018

“It was nicely positioned & very peaceful ,& clean.”
Berniesuzieallport October 2017

“A lovely little bolt hole”

We had a delightful weekend in Lavendar House to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The cottage had everything we needed to eat in and sit in front of the log burner. It was also a great place to explore from and take in some of the countryside around Yoxall. We had a superb meal in the nearby Crown and enjoyed our visit to Shugborough too. We would definitely return.

“Excellent Holiday Cottage”

We booked this lovely little holiday cottage for a long weekend hoping to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a few days and that is exactly what we got. The family who own and run the place are very pleasant and accommodating and there is everything and more you could ask for in terms of a holiday house. It was spotlessly clean and we had great fun starting up the fireplace and making it nice and cosy. The area itself is great, very relaxing with lots of green. It was my first time doing something like this but after such a great experience it definitely won't be my last!
Karen W April 2017

“Excellent, comfortable, relaxing, spotless..what more do you need.”

The photos on the website really don't do justice to either the inside or outside. Wonderful large lounge windows make for perfect relaxation looking onto open views for miles. Great location for visiting the amazing National Memorial Arboretum, walks along the canals and numerous National Trust sites. Fabulous meat (and cakes, bread) available from the butcher in Yoxall, delicous Indian restaurant 10 minutes away. Definitely recommend The Lavender House.

“Excellent”

Excellent cottage of a high standard, very clean and well presented. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge with usual TV/DVD/Wifi. Very welcome wood burner with a starter pack to get you going. Bedroom is large, light and has a very comfortable bed. Even though the cottage is next to the main house it feels secluded and overlooks beautiful scenery, with a patio area if the weather is kind. Alternatively the views can be enjoyed from the lounge through the large patio doors if the weather is too cold. The owner is friendly and helpful - the whole booking process and key pick up was very smooth. Plenty of local walks and attractions further afield. A visit the to the National Memorial Arboretum is a must, but allow plenty of time to wander. I read previous reviews on other sites before booking and was hopeful that it would be as described. I was not disappointed and would certainly recommend this cottage.
