Everything was clean, a welcome bottle of wine, plenty of tea coffee and biscuits, so despite bad weather we had a great weekend, our third time in three years!
Lovely cosy property! Immaculate and well looked after. Location was perfect for our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning

Great Property, Idyllic Location
This is a great cottage for a family stay with all the amenities you would need from a country location. Lots of nice walks nearby and on top of the Peak District!
We took out Dog too (German Shepherd) and it was perfect for him also.

Great property, lovely location and surroundings
We rented this property for a family holiday with 8 adults, the property is spacious, clean and is set in beautiful surroundings. 5 bedrooms (3 double, 2 single) and 3 bathrooms all with showers made this property perfect for our big group.
Perfect location for exploring leek, stoke and surrounding areas.

We had a lovely time at the house, which was as described and the approach no where near as bad as some reviews have made out. The beds were comfortable and the cookies delicious! Emma was very helpful and April a delightful bonus visitor.
This is a lovely cottage set away from it all but near enough to visit local attractions. The bedding and furniture were clean and the facilities were all we needed. Two adults and five children had an amazing fun time and there was plenty of room for more. I highly recommend a stay.
Lovely large farmhouse, light and airy. Beautifully furnished. Private garden with wonderful scenery. Hosts Emma and Matt are amazing hosts who are helpful in every way. On our list to return !
As A group of musical friends , we get together annually to play music and meet up as we live in different places. Croft Meadows Farm was exactly the right place , and we were well looked after by Emma. Would not hesitate to recommend to others

Just returned from a fantastic Mon-Fri stay at the cottage. Stunning setting and well looked after.
We were two families of four with young children and it was perfect. Peak District on the doorstep and some beautiful locations within an hours drive. The cottage is stunning inside and has everything you need for your stay. The neighbours who assist in running the property were very friendly and helpful on arrival. We would definitely return.

Beautiful property, perfect for two families with young children
Lovely place, feels really nice and remote, but only 15/30 mins from lots of really great activities. Loved the roaches for bouldering, tittesworth reservoir and dimensions swimming pool.
Emma and Matt looked after us well too!
We’ll be back I’m sure!

We're very happy you enjoyed our cottage and the surrounding area, we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Brilliant location for a few walks to the Rudyard reservoir, weather held out too. Two families staying over half term, with lots of space for the kids, plenty of outdoors and fresh air. Hosts ensured there was enough towels and bedding. Drying /coat room was great with the kids, meant there was no muddy boots in the house. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils/dishwasher/washing machine. Great stay would definitely love to return.

What a great holiday.....
Just spent 7 days at the lovely Croft Meadows Farm...Just great...
It really was home from home! Super clean, children friendly, very well equipped, quiet, and views as far as you can see.
We have already booked for autumn with our 2 dogs as the walking is perfect as is the cycling.
Thanks for the great welcome see you in October.

Thank you James and Ilona and we are looking forward to welcoming you back later this year.
Loved the property which everybody agreed had been renovated to a high standard. Matt and Emma were friendly and helpful hosts in every way. Would highly recommend it to anyone like e arranging a family retreat/reunion needing five bedrooms. One constructive suggestion: Needs a sigpost on the last turnoff to the farm as most people (including me on several occasions) missed it completely.

Loved our time at Croft Meadows
This home was such a neat home—the dirt track, the hill, Emma and Matt (and their boy and dog) the Peak District—it was all fantastic and we loved our time there. The house was fun and historic, spacious for a large family of 8. The kids loved the area and the fields and cows. We would totally visit again if there is another time in the area. Emma and Matt were the perfect hosts for our time. Thank you.

A.J thank you for your kind words, we loved having you at Croft Meadows Farm and hope to see you again if your ever in the area again.
Spacious, comfortable and warm. Ideal for a group of6 plus baby. We used it as a base for attending our daughter's wedding. It's a rural area. The track to the property is very rough. The details sent to me about the WiFi were incorrect but we eventually sorted it
This is the third time we have stayed at Croft Meadows Farm and this time was the best yet. There has been quite a bit of investment in the property since we were last here with new bathrooms and a new boiler. Emma and Matt look after the property and the guests cannot do enough to make sure your stay is enjoyable and to make sure you have everything you need.
There was 4 adults, 3 kids and a teenager in our group and there was plenty of space for us all. The garden is a lovely place to sit and relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine depending on the time of day. A car is essential as it is very rural and situated down a long track, however this does make it extremely peaceful and a wonderful place to switch off.
We will be back!
