What our customers say about their holidays

  We chose this cottage as we were meeting up with friends living nearby.

  Both location and description of the property suited our needs. The cottage is high up in the hills and when weather permits allows fantastic views over superb countryside. On arrival we were warmly met by Janet who gave us all the information we needed for our stay, It's always nice to meet the owners face to face. We have holidayed with Sykes over the years and most owners have left a welcome pack on arrival. On reading the reviews I was amazed on the comprehensive welcome pack awaiting us. The cottage itself was spotless, comfy beds and everything we needed for our stay. The log burner was a bonus, we had to light it twice as it was rude not to. We really didn't need to as the heating system was excellent. Found a real quirky pub..... The Black Lion at Butterton. Rudyard Lake is well worth a visit. Go to Tissington village, have a look around the quaint shop, the Hall.....what a fabulous piece of history. Trentham gardens for some retail therapy. For you train spotters there is the Churnet Valley heritage line but check to see operational days. Jodrell Bank is visible from the grounds of the property. We have booked for next year!!!!!

  Stunning accommodation where attention to detail has been applied everywhere.

  The kitchen is well equipped with x2 freezers and fridges and drinks fridges galore (here and in the bar / games room). The dining room has the largest dining table I’ve ever seen outside a stately home and we had Lee Lance (private chef) cook a brilliant meal for us on the Saturday. The bedrooms and en-suites are large and luxurious with very comfortable beds. The games room / cinema room and cellar bar are brilliant. Our top area has to be the pool which is just amazing - large / warm / dressing room and loo in the same area / towels galore and inflatables galore - there’s also a lovely sauna. Our grandchildren spent the weekend in the pool and didn’t want to leave. Jay the owner was helpful and very informative as to how this listed farm building had undergone such a glorious transformation. A fabulous place to stay as a treat / celebration and we cannot recommend it highly enough. I hope we can go back for longer than a weekend in the future.

  We have just returned from a wonderful few days at The Granary.

  We were made to feel very welcome and were very well looked after during our stay. The added food was extremely thoughtful and really helped us out. The cottage was just perfect for us; beautifully decorated, lots of space, well equipped kitchen and a lovely log burner, all set in a beautiful part of the country. My only comment would be to have a larger quilt on the double bed. The children loved the animals and were well occupied with the toys and games provided too (we've now bought Monopoly Junior!). We have already recommended to our friends and we would love to visit again in the future - we'd time it better to see the lambs being born though! Many thanks for a lovely stay.

  Janet was so welcoming and friendly nothing was to much trouble, and gave us lots of advice of places to visit.

  The cottage was spotless couldn’t fault it. Such a lovely thought there was plenty of food in the fridge and freezer as well as fresh fruit, chocolate biscuits, crisps eggs and bread didn’t have to worry about going shopping for a few days, plus there’s tea coffee, sugar and so much more it was like home from home Janet has thought of everything. Great location so much to see and do we went to Biddulph Grange Gardens well worth a visit absolutely beautiful, Leeks a nice town to visit, the Roaches: Rudyard Lake and the steam railway to name but a few. We loved staying at at The Granary and will definitely be back and would definitely recommend staying here.

  When we arrived the owner was very friendly and welcoming and The Granary gave you a big hug as you entered.

  The owner had kindly filled the cupboards and fridge with food for us, which was lovely. When we met the rest of the family, they were also so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The Granary was clean, comfortable and warm and was in a lovely place with extensive views. Everything you needed was provided for from kitchen utensils to linen and towels which was great. We would like to say “Thank you” to Janet, Cynthia and all the family and feel that we have made some lovely friends. We would definitely recommend The Granary to anyone who wants a lovely, restful holiday with owners who really make you feel at home. Thanks again
