  If your looking for a tranquil stay, then this is the one for you!

  Unfortunately, the drive down the track to the property is awful. 1st gear all the way and don't take a low car, you will scrape the bottom, this is explained on the booking. The property is a really high standard, exceptionally clean and well looked after. The kitchen has most things that you would need if you were to cook for yourselves however, take note that there is a fantastic pub a 5 minutes drive away called 'THE TOP PUB'. They do fantastic food, are very welcoming, and the main meals are so filling we never got to sample the desserts! Anyway, back to the review.... the downstairs shower room is very nice, the shower is really powerful, and the upstairs bath is very nice indeed. And proper bath sheets! Not a bath towel which is always a plus in my book! For us, the bed was only a double, ( plenty of room to upgrade to a king size) so we never felt very rested in the morning, Although the bedroom is nice and dark when you pull the blinds down, and so quiet. You are lucky if you hear a pin drop. The same goes for the settee's, they weren't very comfortable for us, either. I spent most of the time on the bean bags, one on top of the other. But don't be put off by these 2 minor things. You are centrally located if you want to have a tour round. And if you go out on the train, catch it at Stoke on Trent, but park at 'The West Car Park'. its a five minute walk to the station and the cheapest option. All in all its a lovely place to stay. You will enjoy it.

  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

  Everything about Lee House was perfect!

  It was spotlessly clean & all the bedding, towels, kitchen equipment, crockery & cutlery were as new. The view from the lovely garden was absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time sitting & eating in the garden, the outdoor furniture was very comfortable. The house is very child friendly & our 6 grandchildren spent a lot of time in the hot tub, running around on the lawn & playing outdoor games such as table tennis & croquet that were provided. All the 10 adults joined in as well!! The owners were really friendly & welcoming. One of the many highlights for the children was watching the 3 'on site' donkeys being fed & being able to stroke them! We used a caterer, recommended by the owners, on Saturday night to celebrate one of our daughter's 40th birthday, ksimcockcatering.co.uk, she was excellent & the food she produced was delicious. I initially chose Lee House because of the location, lovely photos on the website & the spacious nature of the property. However, seeing & 'experiencing' the house in person was even better! We all had a wonderful & very relaxing weekend. Would recommend Lee House without reservation to anyone.

  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 had a lovely stay at the Barn.

  Elaine and Dom were very welcoming and a handy pack of essentials was provided. The property was scrupulously clean, so much so that we felt like we were the first to stay there. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. I loved the electric range cooker and also the shower. The decor was minimal but in keeping with the place. There was a great selection of books and DVDs available. We had some meals out at local pubs and particularly recommend the Top Pub in Brown Edge. The only problem was that the sofas were not very comfy for us (we're both large people) and my partner had a bad back before we arrived which made it worse. The towels were small so take your own if you like big wrap-around towels for cosiness or dignity! Overall, this was a very good location with fabulous views. We liked the eco -credentials and the addition of an EV charger was very convenient and much appreciated. We even got to watch the horses in the field next door. Many thanks
