We stayed at Croft Meadow for the weekend of my daughter's wedding. The house was lovely and everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished. It was so nice having 3 bathrooms too. Matt was very helpful with our queries and we were left some nice goodies including wine, cookies and milk. The fresh red roses on the dining room table were appreciated too. The cottage is down a country lane and therefore a bit secluded but I think this adds to the appeal and makes it quiet and surrounded by lovely countryside. I would highly recommend this property and think that it is brilliant value for money.
Everything was clean, a welcome bottle of wine, plenty of tea coffee and biscuits, so despite bad weather we had a great weekend, our third time in three years!

Thanks Danny we're glad you enjoyed your stay.
Hope to see you again in the future.
Just returned from a wonderful stay with my family to celebrate my sons 30th birthday at this farmhouse. It was a perfect size for 6 adults, a 2 year old and a dog. Matt the host was on hand to help if needed and really friendly. We were surrounded by cows, sheep and beautiful countryside and will definitely be returning for another celebration. Only downside was the slow communication through the app.
Lovely cosy property! Immaculate and well looked after. Location was perfect for our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning
Great farm cottage in the Staffordshire moorlands. Perfect for a peaceful time away. Rooms were all very clean and lovely decor.You need a car to get there and visit places but a footpath runs straight from the cottage if you want to get out into the countryside which is stunning.Great communication from the host. Would definitely recommend!
We stayed for a wedding which was very local to the house, our host Emma was excellent nothing too much trouble. I would recommend the rural location but it was also close enough to local towns like leek , Buxton, bake well etc
A reunion of friends, with exploring of NT properties, & walking the Roaches, and Tittisworth reservoir

Great Property, Idyllic Location
This is a great cottage for a family stay with all the amenities you would need from a country location. Lots of nice walks nearby and on top of the Peak District!
We took out Dog too (German Shepherd) and it was perfect for him also.

Great property, lovely location and surroundings
We rented this property for a family holiday with 8 adults, the property is spacious, clean and is set in beautiful surroundings. 5 bedrooms (3 double, 2 single) and 3 bathrooms all with showers made this property perfect for our big group.
Perfect location for exploring leek, stoke and surrounding areas.

We had a lovely time at the house, which was as described and the approach no where near as bad as some reviews have made out. The beds were comfortable and the cookies delicious! Emma was very helpful and April a delightful bonus visitor.
This is a lovely cottage set away from it all but near enough to visit local attractions. The bedding and furniture were clean and the facilities were all we needed. Two adults and five children had an amazing fun time and there was plenty of room for more. I highly recommend a stay.
Lovely large farmhouse, light and airy. Beautifully furnished. Private garden with wonderful scenery. Hosts Emma and Matt are amazing hosts who are helpful in every way. On our list to return !
Wonderful stay over a VERY warm half term week. We are a mutigenarational group including some with mobility issues and the cottage was pretty perfect for us. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of space for everyone, and it is well equipped. We used as a base for exploring by both car and foot, and also had quiet restful hours in the garden very much enjoying the beautiful location and local wildlife. Matt was very helpful and responsive, and we enjoyed the resident goats! As per previous reviews the approach is a narrow farm track, but this caused us no problems with the three very different vehicles in our group. Our GPS took us to the exact place, we just had to trust it for the last mile! We very much hope to visit again.

Just returned from a fantastic Mon-Fri stay at the cottage. Stunning setting and well looked after.
We were two families of four with young children and it was perfect. Peak District on the doorstep and some beautiful locations within an hours drive. The cottage is stunning inside and has everything you need for your stay. The neighbours who assist in running the property were very friendly and helpful on arrival. We would definitely return.

Beautiful property, perfect for two families with young children
Lovely place, feels really nice and remote, but only 15/30 mins from lots of really great activities. Loved the roaches for bouldering, tittesworth reservoir and dimensions swimming pool.
Emma and Matt looked after us well too!
We’ll be back I’m sure!

We're very happy you enjoyed our cottage and the surrounding area, we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Brilliant location for a few walks to the Rudyard reservoir, weather held out too. Two families staying over half term, with lots of space for the kids, plenty of outdoors and fresh air. Hosts ensured there was enough towels and bedding. Drying /coat room was great with the kids, meant there was no muddy boots in the house. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils/dishwasher/washing machine. Great stay would definitely love to return.

We're glad you enjoyed your time at Croft Meadows and the surrounding area. We hope to see you again soon.
Loved the property which everybody agreed had been renovated to a high standard. Matt and Emma were friendly and helpful hosts in every way. Would highly recommend it to anyone like e arranging a family retreat/reunion needing five bedrooms. One constructive suggestion: Needs a sigpost on the last turnoff to the farm as most people (including me on several occasions) missed it completely.
