The cottage was just what we had hoped for. We were visiting Alton Towers, and it was an ideal base (although allow extra time to get to the park in the morning).The check in process was easy, even though we arrived later than planned.

We had a lovely stay at this property. Very cozy cottage, in a beautiful location. Host was very warm and approachable and quick responding. Property was spotlessly clean, with a book stating everything you need to know. Also, tea, coffee etc in the kitchen, so didn't have to worry about taking our own. Everything there you needed if cooking. Bedroom and bathroom very cozy and clean. Would highly recommend.

Holly Cottage

Lovely, tiny cottage in a beautiful village. Cottage was immaculately clean with very obvious attention paid to the small details. Michele is a friendly, welcoming host and met us at the cottage with the keys. We were visiting relatives in the area and are already looking forward to our next Holly Cottage visit next year.

Peaceful Retreat

Everything you needed for a relaxing comfortable stay for 2. All the essentials provided, lovely and clean, comfy bed, a quiet village setting. You could see all types of birds in the neighbouring garden including chaffinch, goldfinch, nuthatch to name a few, look through the opposite window and see field mice scurrying along and in-between the garden brick work. Thoroughly recommend if you want to get away from it all.

A cosy cottage hideaway

Lovely cottage away from the hustle and bustle. A cosy retreat for 2 wirh a gastro pub within walking distance. It is a good location for visiting Alton towers and Ashborne. An imposing church is on the doorstep which peals its bells on Sunday mornings and is a treat to wake up to. The cottage has all the equipment for cooking and all home comforts and is kept very clean and tidy. The host is very accomodating and considered all the guests needs iwhen furnishing and equipping this cody cottage. This is our second stay here so that speaks for itself.
