Upstairs, there is a large bedroom with kingsize bed and a spacious bathroom with shower cubicle.

Harriseahead is a quiet village nestling under the ancient folly of Mow Cop Castle which sits near the end of the Gritstone Trail, a great challenge for walkers. Situated right on the edge of the border between Cheshire, the Staffordshire moorlands and Stoke-on-Trent. There is an abundance of National Trust properties nearby, including Biddulph Grange, Little Moreton Hall, Quarry Bank Mill and Tatton park.

The beautiful town of Leek, on the edge of the Peak District National Park, is a Mecca for antique hunters and is 11 miles away. The market town of Congleton is 3½ miles away, and the heritage towns of the Potteries are also close by. Also well worth a full day visit is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jodrell Bank Observatory and the Lovell Telescope, as well as the Trentham Estate and shopping village. Shop ¾ mile, pub 700 yards and restaurant 1½ miles.

An awesome experience with fantastic hosts.

An awesome experience with fantastic hosts. We will certainly be back to stay at Hippo’s rest on our next visit to the UK. Loved the cottage and amenities, the village life experience with warm-hearted neighbours who were careful not to intrude, but also very welcoming as a community. Lots to see and do with plenty of pamphlets and information. We felt right at home and had such a good experience we extended our holiday by a week, very lucky they had it available! A fantastic holiday!

Hippos Rest is a wonderful, cosy, well equipped cottage with everything you could possibly need.

Hippos Rest is a wonderful, cosy, well equipped cottage with everything you could possibly need. Lovely cotton bedding and towels and decorated beautifully throughout. Very generous welcome pack including 6 free range eggs! It has lovely views of fields with ducks, chickens and turkeys roaming freely and were entertaining to watch. Lots of interesting places to visit nearby but a car needed. Would recommend Biddulph Gardens and Country park, Mow Cop Castle, Little Moreton Hall, Quarry Bank Cotton Museum and the Pottery Museum. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
