We very much liked the location of Sheep Cottage. The property is equipped to a very high standard, everything you need is there. We found plenty to do in the area, visiting World of Wedgewood, a number of National Trust properties and playing golf at Leek and Buxton. The information provided at the property was very helpful in finding pubs and restaurants, all those we visited were of a good standard. Our only criticism was the double bed which we found to be very close to the ground and not as comfortable as we would wish, we are in our mid seventies. Overall we had a very enjoyable week visiting an area of the county which was new to us..

Lovely accommodation. Clean and well equipped. The owner was really helpful with any questions or issues. My kids especially enjoyed having the sheep, cows and cats around. It was beautifully quiet and the hot tub is a great size. Just 20 mins to Alton towers which was perfect.
