"Having stayed at both your properties I can honestly say that they are outstanding in the most beautiful and peaceful surroundings."
Just one small point given that the facilities are well catered for, an iron and ironing board would have come in handy.
Thank you for staying at both properties, your support is appreciated. Should you return and require an Iron please do not hesitate to ask us, as we have these and can provide upon request. Property Owner

"Lovely property and it had everything that we needed."
The hot tub was our favourite place. We went as a group of 4 with 2 dogs and were very comfortable. Wonderful place to stay.
I am glad you enjoyed the break and it met your groups needs, we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

"There were a couple of problems with the heating/boiler but the maintenance people were totally responsive and helpful."

"Well what can I say other than wow!"
We were fortunate enough to arrive at the end of a cold snap, to what can only be described as a winter wonderland. Snow and a frozen lake, but a warm, cozy house with amazing views. The house is stunning and in an amazing location, with some lovely touches like the bath in bedroom with views over the lake and the hot tub. The team are really friendly, and answered our queries really quickly. The only thing we can think it’s missing is a cafetière. We would very happily spend another week here.
Thank you for the positive feedback and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for suggesting a cafetiere, there should have been one in the property. Apologies if it was not there. We will replace. Property Owner

"We had a great stay at the Sheiling."
Its a beautiful house in a beautiful setting. Especially the circular walk around the Lake is great for walking the dogs. The house itself had all the comfort we need, a cosey livingroom a and diningarea. All with views on the Lake. Its really idealic and sereen. The caretaker was also very friendly. There was a Christmas tree and decorations which made the Sheiling experience around Christmas time superB. Thank you very much!
Thank you for taking the time to review the property. We are delighted you had a great stay and look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

"This place is amazing!"
The views are out of this world! Even when it rained! It felt home from home - but more luxurious! We didn’t want to leave!
Thank you for your feedback and the location and setting are amazing (even in the rain). We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to have you back soon. Property Owner

"We had a 7 day stay here and it's a beautiful property."
Perfect to relax and enjoy the scenery, especially from the rear of the house. Plus, the hot tub has been the best and the biggest one we've had, when on holiday. Plenty of room to stretch out, even with four people in it. Would certainly book The Sheiling again.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we are delighted you had a good stay and enjoyed the hot tub and other facilities. Property Owner

"The sheiling is a very nice, cosy and warm property overlooking Rudyard lake."
The hot tub is fantastic and well maintained, a couple of reasons for not scoring 5 star is mainly the access from the top where you park the car down into the property, this is navigated by a steep downhill on a pea gravel path with few sleepers as steps there should be a picture of this on the Sykes site when viewing, I am sure some people will book this and arrive thinking I can't get in to the property. Secondly if you wish to cook yourself the kitchen had limited utensils. Overall a beautiful house just needs a tweak thank you.
Thank you for the feedback and as discussed when we spoke on then phone we have taken your feedback on board an made some amendments to the property access and added some additional steps to reduce the gradient. We have just been waiting for a week where the property was not rented. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

"The Sheiling is a beautiful property."
It is well equipped with everything you can think of, particularly in the kitchen, but also things like hairdryers and coat hangers, and towels for use outside. The furniture is comfortable and clean and the layout of the property is perfect and spacious. The house is down a single track road which is fine in daylight, slightly precarious arriving in the dark in Winter. I would suggest that the owners use what3words for the location/directions as well as the postcode, even though the directions given from that postcode were easy to follow. The owners/manager was super helpful and friendly but in no way intrusive. It was great to stay somewhere so high-end without having unnecessary rules to follow which we have experienced in other places and can make the stay uncomfortable - the Sheiling was the opposite of this. Would love to return again and highly recommend.

"Fantastic cottage and setting."
Minor issue with sink being loose and toilet seats moving. Would recommend and will be back next year
Thank you for your feedback and we apologise some of the sanitary wear were loose, this was rectified immediately post your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back next year! Property Owner

"A simply stunning place to stay."
The views of the lake are incredible, even on rainy days. And on those rainy days there was nothing nicer than lighting the log burner and settling down with a good book. The house itself is gorgeous, finished to a high standard, with some lovely touches (thanks for the fizz). The hot tub was a fantastic bonus. I wish we'd booked for longer, just what was needed to recharge the batteries.
We are delighted you enjoyed the stay and feel fully refreshed. We very much look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

"The Sheiling absolutely lived up to our expectations, it is a beautiful property in a very special location."
It was spotlessly clean on arrival and has been refurbished to a very high standard with high quality fittings in abundance, it is obvious that everything has been very carefully thought out. I must also add that the host was very helpful and very responsive when contacted (Many thanks Richard) overall a wonderful holiday was had by all and we definitely intend to return next year!

Where you’ll be staying
RUDYARD LAKE
Leek 4.5 miles.
Rudyard Lake lies in a thickly wooded hillside area of the Staffordshire Moorlands. The 2.5 mile-long lake, part of which is a conservation area, offers many activities including sailing, boating and fishing, as well as many lovely walks and cycle routes and is a haven for wildlife, flora and fauna. There is a small shop and cafe on the lake, as well as a steam railway, a sailing club which offers courses for all abilities, and a hotel with a friendly bar and restaurant. Just 4.5 miles away is the hillside market town of Leek, known as 'The Queen of the Moorlands'. Leek boasts numerous antique shops, real ale pubs, restaurants and a local park and leisure centre. The town’s cobbled market place has many examples of fine Victorian architecture influenced by William Morris, a reminder of when the town was a silk manufacturing centre. The Three Shire Head is close by, the meeting point of Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire, as is Tatton Park, a beautiful historic estate with manor house, landscaped gardens, parkland, shops and a restaurant. Styal County Park and Gawswirth Hall are also well worth a visit, and Alton Towers and the beautiful Peak District National Park are just a short drive away.
