Just returned from a stay at Old Church Cottage in Church Leigh. The owners couldn't have made us feel more welcome and at hand for any minor questions or just a chat about the area was great. They made it clear the house was ours to relax and they would leave us be unless we needed them. The house is spotless and cosy fitting 4 adults and 2 children on this occasion. Our purpose was Alton Towers, however we ventured to lots more places and had some lovely meals out and in! (2 meals at the Raddle Inn not too far away as it had play area and bouncy castle and pool table for us all enjoy, with big food portions, excellent prices and tastey too). The cottage has toys and books and puzzles, which was great even though we had our own things, the children enjoyed new things. The owners had kindly left out some tea, coffee and biscuits just a lovely touch! We had so many more places to visit and wanted to stay longer. This house is a great place to stay and would highly recommend it to all.

I looked the way the cottage was fitted out - it was a cheerful place with little touches that appealed to me..

Mrs Cowie, July 2019

This is a lovely house, Spotlessly clean and beautifully kitted out.. It was ideal for our young family (2 adults, 3 year old, 1 year old). The hosts have been very helpful and we cannot wait til we come back. 30 mins from Alton Towers, 60 mins from Drayton Manor and there is plenty for a family to explore around Stoke. For those who want peace and quiet, the cottage is surrounded by lovely countryside - that also means if you need to be in a town with a lot of amenities or you don’t have a car this is probably not the place. We’ve had a brilliant time and have loved the house.

Mrs Fitch, May 2019

Helpful owners, nothing not to like

The location is perfect for Alton towers, with Uttoxeter on your door step. The owners, Mr and Mrs Bellchambers were lovely and very welcoming. We would strongly recommend the Old Church Coach House and we will definitely be back in the future!

The owners are friendly and helpful if you need any help or information about the area. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

Mrs Parker

May 2018

Absolutely gorgeous holiday cottage.. Felt totally at home as soon as we arrived and didn’t want to leave! Very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Great location. Would definitely recommend.

Mrs Carr

A lovely cottage with a well-kept garden in a nice area with plenty to do within about 40 mins drive, eg Trentham Gardens, Tissington Trail, Sudbury, Cannocks Chase.. But a few minor niggles: 1. Only duvets available were too warm for the weather (an issue at most cottages we have stayed at) 2. Only one bath mat, so were constantly moving it between the bathroom and ensuite shower room. 3. Heated towel rails would be good (think they were probably the type that heat up with the heating but no good in summer) - we did manage to dry the towels off each day by putting up the airer in the downstairs toilet and rotating them twice a day, but not ideal!

Mrs Middleton, October 2016

September 2016

This cottage was booked by Mrs K Duckworth on behalf of my mother, Mrs B Paterson and 2 friends who were attending my wedding in the church at Church Leigh.. They liked everything about the cottage, pristine condition, very good value even though they only stayed 4 nights. Lots of interesting things to do in easy reach, and plenty of really good places to have dinner out. Particularly recommend The Dunscombe Arms at Ellastone, though essential to book as it's very popular.

Mrs Bowes

The cottage was even prettier than we had expected and felt even more homely than it had looked in the pictures. The owners could not have been more helpful. They were exceptionally welcoming and willing to share information about the local area. We had a terrific time, it was exactly what we were looking for and would definitely recommend to friends.

Mr Wynne

Modern clean property with everything you could want in a home away from home and set in picturesque and quiet location. Recreation ground with kids playground a short walk through the grounds of the nearby church. We are a family of Merlin pass holders so was a great base camp for multiple trips to Alton Towers (25-minute drive) and Warwick Castle (80-minute drive).

Old Church Coach House was a beautiful house, and very stylishly decorated and in a quiet setting. It was very comfortable for all five of us, including our two children and father-in-law. There were so many more places we could have visited in the surrounding area, given more time. I would recommend this house and the area as a great place for a family or couples holiday.

The facilities Old Church Coach House were lovely and there was a high standard of finish across all rooms. The kitchen was especially well finished and well supplied. There were six of us and it did not feel cramped in fact we commented that it could easily be a permanent home rather than a holiday let.
