  We had a wonderful week at Pastures Barn.

  The house was clean and well equipped, especially for children and dog owners. Jo and Giles provided dog beds, towels and throws for the furniture and the artificial grass in the gated patio area meant the dogs paws were clean if they nipped out for a wee. Outside the gated patio was a larger section of grass, great for garden games, which were stored in the shed. The games room was a fantastic addition to the accommodation, we spent hours playing pool, darts, fussball, air hockey, table tennis and singing on the karaoke. The hot tub and sauna were lovely for relaxing in. Additional towels were also provided for the hot tub and sauna. The gates at the top and bottom of the stairs gave us reassurance that the dog couldn’t sneak up the stairs and the toddler couldn’t sneak down without our knowledge. This allowed us to sleep well in the comfortable beds. We also took advantage of the dog sitting service so we could have a family day out to Alton Towers. Jo sent me a couple of reassuring messages throughout the day and our 15-year-old Collie was very content in their home. In addition to Alton Towers there are some lovely places to visit. If you like a market day, head to Bakewell on a Monday. Monkey Forest and Trentham Shopping Village are about 40 mins away and worth a visit. Closer to the barn there is a large park, café and beautiful walks at Tittesworth Wate

  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.

  Genuinely cannot think of anything negative to say about this let.

  Three lovely bedrooms, gorgeous spacious kitchen and cosy, relaxed lounge. The games room is wonderful and could not have been better for my husband and teenaged son. Loved that there were safety gates top and bottom of stairs and 'no dogs upstairs' policy as it would have been impossible to keep our energetic black dog off the white bedding without them and I would have spent 3 days stressing over it! Great place for dog walks. Secure garden area with AstroTurf for dog so he could run in and out freely without having his paws wiped every time. Dog towels and throws provided for the 3 leather sofas (although we'd taken our own). All the little extra welcome gifts gave it a really special holiday feel and including the important supplies like bin bags, dishwasher tablets and kitchen rolls (although I'd taken them, not expecting everything to be so well stocked) was very thoughtful as it's a bit of a faff to drive into Leek everything you've forgotten something. Everything was spotless, especially considering it's a dog friendly let. Will definitely return.

  We booked Pastures Barn for my daughters 21st birthday celebration and I'm delighted we did.

  The place was amazing and didn't disappoint as we were especially keen on enjoying the Games Shack as a family. There's a great choice of games and it was great to see our children playing and enjoying the same games we did in our youth, rather face-planted on their iphones for the duration. On arrival we were even greeted with a welcoming Valentines assortment of bubbly, chocolates and rose petals on our bed! On our first night we struggled to get the hot tub going but the hosts came out and fixed it within 10 minutes which is indicative of the service we experienced from the hosts throughout our stay. In fact we were so impressed with the service of the hosts and the place itself that I have recommended this place to family, friends and even clients.
