A lovely cottage.. The situation on a working farm in beautiful countryside is lovely. Friendly hosts. A great base for walking in the beautiful local countryside - lots of walking books provided by the hosts. No internet and no mobile signal downstairs but I did get a signal in the bedroom.

Mr Hansell, September 2020

Lovely place, ideal for long hikes and cosy evenings.. Thank you for having us!

Allowing for the cost of the holiday, I feel the cottage was pretty good value for money.. it was clean and ready for us when we arrived, with an excellent view from the front of the property.

Absolutely lovely cottage, very nice welcome when we arrived, fresh flowers on .... Absolutely lovely cottage, very nice welcome when we arrived, fresh flowers on the table and a pint of milk in the fridge, would recommend a peaceful week to everyone

Mr Bowen, September 2019

Owners welcomed us and we had some lovely welcome flowers and milk to tied us over.. Beautiful, clean and welcoming cottage, lovely views, peaceful and not far from places to visit.

Mrs Rigby, May 2019

It is imperative that prospective clients are made aware BEFORE booking that there is NO mobile phone signal or internet.. I am self employed and my clients need to be able to speak to me at all times. As a consequence we only stayed in the cottage Sunday evening to Tuesday. One of my properties in France had been broken into over the weekend and the Gendarmes were unable to contact me.

From first contact the Skye’s team were super helpful and knowledgable.. The property was of a very high standard and the owners were lovely. Thoroughly recommend both Skye’s generally and Orchard Cottage (the single room really does only have room for 1 small person though)

Miss Newbold

July 2018

Wonderful accommodation and friendly welcome.. Left to our own devices which was exactly what we wanted and very comfortable place. Very peaceful and a spectacular view with a morning visit from the cows just outside the door. No phone coverage or 3/4g so be prepared!

April 2018

Orchard cottage is a beautiful cottage.. The open plan kitchen/dining area/sitting room area is lovely. Beds very comfy - a king size bed and a single cabin bed - ideal for older children/young teens. Modern bathroom with a wonderful power shower. Lovely views from the cottage over the Staffordshire moors. Alton towers is just a seven minute drive away (we timed it!) so the cottage is perfect for relaxing in after a busy day. I would also reccomend dovedale nearby there is lovely scenery of the peak district and stepping stones across the river. I feel we didn't get to explore the area as much as I'd have liked - partly due to unfortunate weather conditions - I will be returning to Orchard cottage!!

It is a beautiful cottage, in lovely surroundings.. Very well maintained, and decorated and furnished to a high standard. The owner greeted me and my dogs, with his Collie dog too, very friendly. Having no internet or mobile phone signal was different, and slightly frustrating, as we had a couple of occasions when someone needed to contact us, one a serious matter, but couldn't. I only got the news late, when out walking the dogs, and picked up a signal, it then made one resourceful to find one. It hasn't put me off and we would stay again. It was a very relaxing week

We enjoyed the setting of the cottage, it was quiet and relaxing yet close to shopping and other amenities. It is a good quality conversion; excellent craftsmanship, all solid wood with no synthetic materials in sight. There is lovely doorstep walking and other beautiful countryside and walks just a few minutes' drive away.

Lovely, clean and modern cottage, with fab views over open farm fields. Quiet location. Helpful owners. 10minutes from Alton Towers, and many other local attractions. Second bedroom bed is a top bunk only, not suitable for very young children. Could suit slim adult too.

Mrs Turner, August 2015

Owner was really friendly; he explained everything to us and then he didn't bother us at all.. We spent some really nice quality time with our family. Our daughter loved the little bed in the small bedroom. Generally very pleased; we will definitely go back soon!

The view from the lounge bedroom was lovely, a bit of a wow factor! We enjoyed the fact that it was a little bit out of the way because it was so peaceful quiet, a great retreat. We enjoyed going to Dovedale and the Churnet Valley where the steam train runs is also lovely. We can thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Guest

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay although it was a little of the beaten track. The property was excellent in all respects. Would certainly recommend for a quiet holiday. Only problem was lack of Wifi and mobile telephone signal.

The cottage is a lovely, high quality barn conversion in a peaceful location. It is warm and comfortable, and the owners were very friendly and helpful without being obtrusive. Although it is situated in a quiet area, there is plenty to see and do within a short distance. We would definitely recommend it, and would love to stay there again.
