Stephen
Ideally placed, just off of the A515, it gave us good access to everywhere we wanted to go to - the highlight probably being a day at Trentham Gardens (& shopping village etc.), just south of Stoke. We also found lots of lovely pubs within a 30 minute drive serving very good food - a special mention for the nearby Sycamore Inn at Parwich which was outstanding. It was all absolutely perfect for the two of us! Thank you Pam & Mark for everything & for passing on your local knowledge.

Couldn't want for more as a great base to visit Peak District and surrounding area. Love the neighbours (cows), and owner couldn't be more helpful.
