Lovely cottage
Lovely cottage, I was unsure when booking as there wasn’t photos of all the rooms, however they were all great. The location was perfect, right by The Roaches, great for walks from the door step and close by to other amazing locations in the Peak District. Being so close to the tea rooms was convenient for lunch, and we were near enough to the town of Leek for shops for supplies. Comfortable beds, and the whole place was clean and tidy. Leaving cakes for us was a lovely touch. Thanks for a great stay!

Absolutely perfect
What a hidden gem! Couldn’t have asked for any more from out weekend stay, a clean, cosy, comfortable cottage, with everything we needed and Set in stunning scenery. We are a family of six and came to visit Alton Towers for the weekend, and we couldn’t have picked better accommodation. The hosts were lovely, and a plate full of cake in the kitchen on arrival was very much appreciated by my children after a six hour car journey!! Already thinking of coming back.

A Great Stay!
Lovely cottage, well stocked with everything you need. You can park right outside the property. Also the views are stunning across the hills. Karen was lovely and left us milk and lovely cake in the fridge as we arrived late. We ate breakfast at the adjoining tea rooms which was really good value and the food was excellent! Tia the guard dog was on hand to meet us and, although very large and vocal, was harmless so you don't need to worry, she's a gentle giant. Would definitely go back.

Great cottage for family get away
Absolutely lovely wee rustic cottage with old worldy charm. We stayed in the Smithy cottage which sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms. Has electric shower. Hairdryer. Fully equipped kitchen. Iron. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. No wifi I believe but kids just hot spotted from our phones. Cottage was spotless on arrival. Tea and coffee facilities included. Fresh milk and a cake was provided on arrival. A really lovely touch. There is a popular hill climb a short walk away which has lovely views. Met the owner and family on our arrival night and they were extremely friendly. The tea room is right next door for those who wish to have breakfast or lunch there. We stayed here as a family of 5 to visit Alton Towers which was only 25 mins drive away. Would happily stay here again. It's a great find in a lovely location.

What a little gem
We (2 adults, 2 teenagers) have just returned from 3 nights staying at The Smithy. We checked ourselves in as we arrived late in the day, but it was lovely to be greeted by a large plate of delicious cake! The cottage is very cosy, and has some beautiful features. The bathroom and kitchen are a little tired, but if anything this added to the character. The surrounding scenery is stunning, and there are great walks from the doorstep. The adjacent tea shop is also recommended, and we had breakfast here. We would look forward to coming again if we were returning to the area. Also a great base if visiting Alton Towers - which we did on the way here. Photos are views from the windows.
