Guests say

Basford View is a well-regarded cottage praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and stunning views. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, the property's proximity to local attractions, and the thoughtful touches provided by the friendly owners. While some guests suggest minor updates and maintenance, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.

The majority of guests have reported the property to be extremely clean, with only a single review mentioning issues with mould and water stains. The high standard of cleanliness is consistently noted across reviews.

The location is frequently praised for its beautiful views and proximity to local attractions and walks. However, a few guests noted the lack of nearby major supermarkets and suitable dining options, slightly affecting the score.

Guests find the property comfortable, highlighting the quality of the beds and the cosy atmosphere. The presence of a reclining sofa and a big TV in the lounge adds to the comfort. There are a few mentions of issues with the shower temperature and a noisy bathroom floor.

Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, some guests have suggested that certain aspects, such as the bathroom and kitchen appliances, could benefit from an upgrade or maintenance.

While guests have expressed gratitude for the thoughtful touches, such as a small gift in the fridge, there is not enough information to determine if such gestures are consistent or guaranteed for all stays. Therefore, a score cannot be provided, and guests should note that such gifts are not guaranteed.

About this property

This is a lovely, well-maintained semi-detached property, set in a quiet residential area of the little village of Cheddleton in Staffordshire. Simply furnished throughout to offer welcoming accommodation, this holiday home is just the spot for small families or couples to enjoy this lovely part of Staffordshire. With some countryside views from the first floor, the property also offers a well-equipped kitchen, and a cosy sitting room with gas fire to stay toasty warm after a day of exploration. Outside is a very pretty rear garden with a patio, furniture and a raised lawn to enjoy an evening drink, and there is also a playing field and children's play area backing on to the rear of the property. Cheddleton is a lovely village to explore, with the Churnet Valley Railway and some stunning walks and cycle trails taking you through the moorlands. Just a short drive away is the market town of Leek, which offers a wide selection of shops, including fascinating antiques emporia, bookshops and galleries, along with a number of restaurants and real ale pubs. A little further on is the fantastic Roaches, which is ideal for walking, climbing and mountain biking, or just as a place where you can admire and take in outstanding views and scenery. Tittesworth Reservoir and visitor centre is just six miles away, and Alton Towers is also within driving distance.

The market town of Leek is situated on the western side of The Peak District National Park and is surrounded by lovely Moorland countryside. The town has a charming cobbled market place and there are many examples of fine Victorian architecture - a reminder of the town's prosperity when it was renowned as a silk manufacturing centre. Today Leek offers a wide selection of shops including vast antique emporiums, bookshops and galleries and there is good selection of restaurants and real ale pubs. Alton Towers is less than 20 minutes drive away.
