Beautifully presented and had everything we needed. Parking was good. The views from the bedroom and lounge were amazing. We wanted to visit JCB and it was a perfect location for that area. Thank you

Highly recommended cottage

Delighted to find this gem of a cottage for our stay in the area. Plenty of places to visit nearby, not just Alton Towers. Cottage has everything you might need in a home from home holiday and very comfortably laid out. Couldn't fault a thing, right down to the friendly neighbour next door. We'll be looking to make this our go to accommodation whenever we go to Alton Towers from now on.

Faultless!

We stayed during Christmas week and were delighted to arrive at the cottage to find it tastefully decorated with Christmas lights. The cottage is finished and furnished to a high standard and feels like a home from home.
