Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean and well-kept, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. A few guests mentioned minor issues, but these do not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.
The cottage's location is frequently described as peaceful and well-placed for exploring the Peak District and local attractions like Alton Towers. Its quiet setting on a farm adds to the charm, although one review mentioned a temporary issue with farm smells.
Guests generally found the cottage to be comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere and modern amenities. Some guests mentioned low ceilings in bedrooms and a distant downstairs toilet as minor discomforts.
The facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living spaces. However, some guests noted that certain kitchen items and frying pans were chipped or worn, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance.
The hosts are frequently commended for their thoughtful gestures, such as providing a welcome pack with bread, milk, and eggs. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
A beautiful barn conversion tucked away in the village of Kingsley, sitting on the Staffordshire Moors, and reached by a country lane. Perfect for couples or friends, this retreat oozes charm and comfort, an all-round wonderful base to begin your holiday in style. The spacious kitchen/diner welcomes you inside, designed with a country cottage feel, oak units and exposed beams that offset the formation in a loving fashion. All the appliances you require are on-hand and a table for four people ensures you have somewhere to rest in the morning hours with a warm cup of tea. After a good start to the day, why not spend some time in the lounge? The cosy little snug room with a wall mounted electric fire and 2 x two-seater sofas is the ideal place for you to make the most of your downtime. Two bedrooms mirror each other; both accessed via their own staircase, adding a touch of character and quirkiness. Presented with double beds and overlooked by beams, you will look forward to relaxing after a long afternoon and admiring the fields which can be seen through the Velux windows. The walk-in shower room is a modern suite and makes a classic addition to the property. When the sun is shining, why not spend an hour or two in the garden, relaxing on the patio area and taking in the lovely scenery? Or explore the local area and beyond; the Staffordshire Way, a long distance walking route, runs through the village and there is a vast selection of walks for all abilities on the doorstep, plus there is an excellent golf course in Whiston. The Peak District National Park is easily accessed to the North; whist the Pottery towns of Stoke-on-Trent have a wide array of interesting museums to visit. The famous Alton Towers is also a short 8 mile drive away, a perfect day out for all ages. A home-away-from-home not to be missed.

Bread, milk and eggs provided to start you off, which was a nice treat. Some saucepans need replacing as the non stick coatings almost disappeared . A small non stick milk pan would have been nice too.
