  A lovely cottage with plenty of good walks and beautiful countryside within a short distance.

  It was well equipped and laid out, and had been prepared very nicely for us. We use the DVD player to watch a film one evening; it worked well and instructions were easy to follow. Our group has two trips a year and we all agreed this had been one of the best - the fabulous May weather helped of course! Just two very minor niggles - one is that it looks as though no expense has been spared for most of the work in the cottage - fittings are done to a very high standard, the furnishings were great, etc. But the pans in the kitchen were very thin bottomed, and although we're all pretty experienced cooks we had problems with burning the pan bottoms. The other point wasn't one that bothered us particularly, but it might be worth flagging up more clearly that there's no wifi in the cottage. Some people will see this as an advantage anyway (it may help get the kids away from their screens!), others might not be aware of it as wifi is becoming more standard these days, and may see it as a negative. These are really minor points. Overall we had a very good stay and the cottage definitely met or exceeded expectations. Thanks!

  We really loved our stay at Gun End Cottage, a cottage full of character in a beautiful part of the world.

  The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with an interesting history that you can read about in the information folder, this folder also has a tongue in cheek poem about the cottage and its idiosyncrasies which made us smile. It has a simple quaint appeal, if you appreciate fittings from an earlier age which we do, you will love this place, the brass door knobs, the leaded window's, the fireplaces and the Duckett basin in the upstairs bathroom. The nearest neighbours are the sheep in the field adjacent to the cottage. With every trip out you are immediately on a scenic drive. We visited Buxton, Leek and Longnor all places with individual appeal, as for walks, The Roaches, Lud Church and the Manifold Trail are great and can be made as leisurely or taxing to suit your own level of fitness. Another nice walk is to leave the cottage, turn left down the hill until reaching a footpath sign on the left for 'Gighall' which leads to the river Dane. Some of the more remote roads in this area are winding,narrow,steep and 'interesting' to say the least and one gets a great sense of achievement at journey's end.

  We had a lovely stay at the Fox Bank Cottage!

  It's located at a scenic and tranquilising area so that means it's great for a retreat or relaxing holiday. Listening to the crackling and popping sound of the burning woods is the best way to wind down in a chilly evening. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we need if decided to have a night in enjoying home cooked food. A pub is just down the road if want to have something different. However, there are couple of things that might have been overlooked: - the snacks in the welcoming basket have been expired before we moved in or they might have been left from previous clients? - it'd be nice if there are some toiletries available until we manage to get some from the shops and a refill for toilet and kitchen rolls

  Gun End Cottage is situated in a lovely isolated location with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.

  The cottage itself is warm and comforting in the winter months. It has everything you need for a self catering stay and is conveniently located for functions at Heaton House Farm, where we attended a wedding. There was a slight mix up with the keys but this was speedily corrected, without detriment to our stay, and the sisters could not apologise enough for the small oversight. There are four good sized bedrooms, a large sitting room and an equally large kitchen table around which you can all eat in comfort, making it an ideal place to stay if you have a large group of people in your party. If the need arises in the future I would have no hesitation in staying at this property again.

  Had a great 3 nights stay recently, a lovely welcome pack, thank you.

  The cottage is in a good location close to many attractions, although walking from doorstep with a pet could be a little precarious with the amount of traffic that runs by. Wi-Fi and the addition of a couple of smart tvs an added bonus, a great enclosed rear garden ideal for the dog. Just a couple of negatives the double bed not the most comfortable due to condition of the mattress, also on departure as I removed the bedding in the twin room I noticed that the mattress was badly stained. If these issues were resolved I would not hesitate in visiting again in the near future. Many thanks Pete……
