The Saddlery is a quaint little place on an old picturesque farm, in a village with a great pub/restaurant and for the three days we were there, we used it as a launching point to visit parts of the Peak District as well as Stoke-on-Trent. It is nicely decorated, and for the two of us there was plenty of space, the shower had great hot water, and the kitchen provided the equipment we needed for cooking in. Unfortunately, it wasn't as comfortable as we'd hoped and we wouldn't recommend it for winter stays. Our stay coincided with the first cold snap of the season and the space heaters provided just didn't provide enough warmth to overpower the cold seeping in. There are wall radiators, but they weren't turned on and no instructions, although for our last night, we happened to see Ruth and she offered to have her husband program the main room one and that did help, but it was still a chilly place, especially the bathroom.
