About this property
A superb detached stone barn conversion, on a former working farm near Leek, with underfloor heating, open fire and impressive full-length window with wonderful countryside views. One of three cottages, this property is next to Refs. 3563 and 3565, together they sleep 33.
The village of Meerbrook is on the edge of a popular walking area known as the Roaches, and is just four miles from the market town of Leek. Meerbrook is a short walk away from Tittesworth reservoir, which offers many activities and has a visitor's centre. Buxton is only 12 miles away and has a wider choice of places to eat and an interesting selection of shops. The town's museum is well worth a visit as is the Opera House, with its wide variety of entertainment on offer. For thrill seekers, Alton Towers is a short drive away and has year round activities available for all ages. This area has a lot to recommend it to the visitor and makes a great holiday base.

The house was perfect, there was plenty of space in the barn to accommodate our party of 11. With 5 lovely bedroom, 3 of which were en suite and a beautiful fire in the lounge we felt very comfortable. Suzanne was incredibly helpful with any questions we had, she recommended the pub for food which again was very nice. We all had a lovely stay at Goldcrest.

Otherwise this place was fantastic! Rooms were great sizes, perfect space for hosting our trip! Would highly recommend booking one of the cottages if you are planning a group trip to the peak district! The heated floor in the kitchen was a nice addition!

We were a party of 7 and it was perfect for our group. The house is stunning and in a great tucked away location. The rooms were all clean and comfortable and the kitchen was excellently kitted out. Suzanne was lovely and accommodating both prior to our booking and during our stay. We spent a lot of the weekend commenting on how lovely the house was and I'm sure we would all happily stay there again. It was a perfect home from home. We hired a hot tub from party-tubs.co.uk and Lee was amazing! He set it all up in a gazebo with lights and music for us which was such a nice touch. We'd worried that we wouldn't be able to use the hot tub until the Saturday but it was hot enough and ready to use pretty much as soon as he'd set it up on the Friday. Highly recommend getting in touch with him (he's local to the area too).
