• "The Barn was extremely clean and comfortable and we all had a comfortable few nights sleep."

  However it wasn't the best for dogs we originally had planned to take 2 dogs with us and ended up only taking 1. The Garden was extremely small and not enclosed. We were allowed to roam on the fields aslong as the animals were not around although these were all surrounded by electric fences so I couldn't take my dog off the lead at any point. We had assumed that the pictures showing the fields were what we would have for the dogs. Although it is mentioned in the description that the garden was not guaranteed to be enclosed we did not expect to have electric fencing and therefore would be unsafe to take our dogs off the lead. There is also a small cabin in the garden that was rented out to another couple during our stay so we found there was very little privacy with the owners attached next door and then the cabin in the garden. We had planned to go to Alton Towers for one day of our trip which in the description was 2.3 miles away. However we found that it was actually 8.8 miles away from the property according to our car sat All in all beautiful barn but not good for any four legged friends.

  We thought it might be helpful to provide some information for guests staying with their dogs. The garden/grass area around Greenacres is not an enclosed garden for dogs. We sit in 11 acres and you are very welcome to walk your dogs in the fields. An organic dairy herd sometimes graze in the fields and so we do ask that you pick up after your dog as that can have health implications for ‘the girls’. As they are dairy cows they come and go for milking and they move around this and other grazing land too so you might not see that much of them. You can walk through the fields whilst the cows are there as long as you take care as you would walking near any livestock. We ask people to keep their dog on a lead going through the field when the cows are out just to be on the safe side. You can access some walks direct from Greenacres - you can join the Staffordshire Way and the old railway line walk up the Churnet Valley from the corner of the field. We are having our fence replaced later this year and until that has been done there is a secondary electric fence in place just as a precaution, to keep the cows out, not to keep you in. It wont stop you walking around the fields or joining the walks mentioned above. There is some lovely countryside and great walks to enjoy in this area with your dogs and some dog friendly cafes on the way that we can recommend to you. Greenacres is about 3 miles away from Alton Towers by road, not 8.8. Turn right out of the top of our drive, to Alton village and follow the signs for Alton Towers. You can’t miss it as it’s well signposted. Property Owner

• "The 4 of us and my doggy stayed at this property over a long weekend."

  It was very spacious, nicely appointed, very clean and most importantly comfortable. Views across open fields were delightful. A car is pretty much essential as the property is in a rural location with not a lot in the very near vicinity. We had no complaints and offer only positive feedback. A lovely area, hosts were friendly/welcoming, a really pleasant stay was had by all…many thanks! Louise

  We stayed in the downstairs bedroom, the bed was a little uncomfortable and the pillows very flat and could do with replacing. Also, I think the kitchen could be better equipped, for instance a larger pan or wok and more cutlery as there is a dishwasher.

• "Lovely big cottage in a beautiful area."

  Cottage was great but we felt it would benefit from more kitchen equipment (without having to ask for it) also an information pack of the area. Shepherds hut too close & gives no privacy. Parking a bit restricted.

  Thank you for the feedback, glad you liked the area and the Cottage! The Cottage comes equipped to cater for a party of 4 and we try to keep clutter to a minimum so that guests have plenty of room for storage. We always ask arriving guests to let us know if there's anything they would like so that we can cater for any particular requirements. Rather than having a printed guide, we put all the information on our website to keep printing to a minimum and be a little more environmentally friendly. A link to our website is included in the welcome email we send before guests arrive. If you are coming as a group of 4 in two cars, we can accommodate both. The property is set back from the road in its own land, so it's very private however it is also our home and there is a Shepherd Hut in the grounds some distance away and separated by a willow hurdle fence.

My only criticism would be that there wasn't a great range of kitchen ware ( no measuring jug, or any sort of jug, no roasting trays or serving dishes) But maybe I like to cook on holiday more than many

  Thank you for staying with us, lovely to meet you! We cut down kitchen equipment a little during covid changeovers so that we could process everything through the dishwasher but thank you for flagging up some missing bits and pieces, we’ll review what’s there and top up! For anyone staying at Greenacres, if you find there is anything else you need, do let us know and we’ll probably have it and be able to pop it round.

• "Cottage was a good size for 4 people and generally very comfortable."

  Kitchen equipment was basic but adequate for standard meals. Hot water and heating worked well. Internet was surprisingly good for a rural place. Location was charming with a very pleasant walk along the disused railway close by. The property accepts dogs but due to the immediate presence of chickens and livestock they have to be on a lead to go outside which was a bit of a pain. It would be very useful if there was a fenced off area outside the cottage. However there is lots to see in the local area, which is very attractive and I would recommend this cottage as a holiday destination.

  I particularly appreciated being able to walk the dog across the field to the Churnet Valley Railway path, which is a short stroll to the pub in Denstone or a slightly longer one to Alton or further along to Oakamoor. There's lovely walking country from the doorstep or a short drive away, and of course Alton Towers is a short hop in the car too. Also, the wifi is sufficiently strong that I was able to work from the Barn for a couple of days without any glitches (apart from the distracting view!). Thoroughly recommended.

  The local pub does great food and is in walking distance although having to get the dogs across the first cattle grid was a bit tricky. The Barn was clean and the utility room with a washer was a bonus and great for the dogs. Due to current restrictions the kitchen wasn't as well stocked with dishes and utensils as i think it normally would be but it was sufficient for our needs. The downstairs bedroom would have benefited from having some ventilation in there at night but it was ok. The space was great and the kitchen/dining area was just fab for 4 people and 2 dogs. The downstairs bathroom has a good bath but no shower/shower attachment so this made hair washing a bit tricky! The garden wasn't as enclosed as we expected and the caravan was quite close by but again this was fine. Overall I would recommend The Barn, the hosts were very friendly when we met them and it was ideal for a weekend away, we would stay there again if we go back to the area again.

I love the little room as you enter the property, this came especially handy to dry off the dogs before letting them into the rest of the house!
