The presence of friendly animals adds to the charm, and the property is considered good value for a delightful stay.

The cottage is consistently described as clean and tidy, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests are satisfied with.

The location is frequently highlighted for its peacefulness and beautiful scenery, with easy access to walks and nearby towns, making it an ideal holiday spot.

Guests find the cottage very comfortable, mentioning the excellent beds and furniture, which suggests a high level of comfort throughout their stay.

The cottage is well-equipped for guests' needs, though one mention of missing instructions for the oven and microwave suggests a slight room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

While guests speak highly of the host's welcoming nature and helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts, so it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness in this context.

The village of Waterhouses lies between the market towns of Leek and Ashbourne on the southern fringes of the Peak National Park.

The track is flat and traffic free for cyclists, walkers and horse-riders. Waterhouses offers a selection of shops, pubs and places to eat. The famous Alton Towers Theme Park is only a short drive away.

  • Jill

    The cottage is brilliantly located and so much to see and do with very little driving. We enjoyed lots of bike rides on the various trails and walks - we clocked up 50 miles altogether, pretty good for the little legs we had with us. The cottage was great and the owner was super friendly and my girls loved visiting her pony and watching them in the field. The cottage was just what we needed for our weeks stay.
