"The cottage was absolutely perfect, a lovely open kitchen space with all equipment needed, a comfy bed and perfect bathroom/wet room."
The hot tub was fabulous and clean and the operation was really simple. The goats were fantastic, we were so lucky to be there to see the babies being born! Once in a lifetime moment! The owners are lovely and left us a welcome pack with loads of food including fresh eggs. It's so quiet around the place, perfect for relaxing, you can walk to the village and a 20 min drive takes you to Trentham with loads to do there. It was a perfect week for us.
-
"We both said that we had struck gold with Robin’s Rest!"
It was a fairly late booking and I am amazed that such a fantastic place has any vacancies. Very well equipped with everything we needed and the welcome pack was a lovely touch…especially the freshly laid eggs
-
"This barn conversion with hot tub was the best one we have stayed in by far."
The quiet location was perfect for what we wanted. Hot tub was perfect. The welcome package was unexpected but a lovely touch. Feeding Dotty and Dora every morning was lovely. We would definitely stay here again. The conversion itself was done exceptionally with everything you needed.
-

Absolutely stunning and spotlessly clean, had to leave early as my son took ill but we had a few drinks and a laze in the hot tub, owner left out some fresh laid eggs etc, very nice touch we have a great time
-
"We just had an amazing week at 'Robins Rest'."
It's beautifully finished to a very high standard. The goats 'Dotty and Dora' were adorable and loved their ginger nuts! The hot tub was amazing after a long day of cycling and the welcome pack was a very welcome addition. Thank you! Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon.
-
"Spotless Cottage, with very thought out extras."
Dotty and Dolly were wonderful neighbours.
-
"Beautiful property."
.our third visit and already booked another.perfect place to chill and relax.the hot tub is a bonus as are the goats that greet you each morning….nothing to do with the ginger biscuits ! Home from home
-
"We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Robins rest."
It really is an idillic retreat with lots of lovely home comforts. We loved our welcome box, and biscuits for the goats who eagerly met us in the morning. Thank you to Claire and Phil for all of the thought that has gone in to providing such a lovely place to stay. Hope to be back again.
-
"This is an amazing property."
The attention to detail is first class and it is well maintained. Everything that you could want is there and the Welcome Pack is great. The ginger biscuits for the goats are a nice touch - rattle the tin when you go out on the back and they will come running. We loved finishing off the day in the hot tub. We had a lovely, restful much needed break.
-
"Perfect."
-

Home from home..booked again for later in the year. Secure safe parking. Fantastic welcome pack. Fantastic hosts. Goats and ducks are so cute. Dotty n Dora love ginger biscuits. I always ask when feeding animals. Fresh eggs Can't wait for the next get away.

-
"Stayed at this property numerous times."
Hosts are friendly and welcoming. Cottage is clean, comfortable and very relaxing. Added touches to stay regarding welcome food package are a bonus. Local facilities only a few minutes away. Hottub is clean and well maintained. Highly recommend.
-
"We had such a wonderful time, thank you."
I was surprised it had been open for a year with how well it's been maintained, it's a beautiful place to stay and the goats just brightened up our morning every day.
-
"What a great early 2024 break."
Very thoughtful welcome items provided - including Prosecco, crisps, chocs, milk, cheese plus extra towels for hot tub. Cottage location was good with easy access to Trentham Gardens which is well worth a visit. The cottage really was lovely and nice and warm with under floor heating - nice shower in wet room Just a couple of thoughts to put the cherry on the top (not criticisms at all and relatively minor) - as it was raining during our stay it would be good to have a plastic box of some sort near hot tub to pop phones in etc. Also more drying facilities for hot tub towels and costumes (we used it a lot lol)
-
"Just needs a clothes rail to be perfect."
The cleanliness and general finish show the owners love their work. Well done to all the team there.
-
"Fantastic place, immaculately clean with a wonderful welcome hamper and fresh eggs!"
Underfloor heating throughout kept us nice and toasty, as did the spotless hot tub. Will be recommending to friends and family and will certainly be back in the future!
-
"The cottage was fantastic, in pristine condition, tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard, everything and more was provided."
The welcome hamper was very much appreciated, all in all it made for an outstanding weekend break for my partner and I. would highly recommend this cottage to friends and family.
-
"Lovely property, great owners."
Welcome pack very good. Hottub real treat. Very relaxing. Booked again for a few months time
-
"Beautiful and peaceful"
-
"Beautiful property."
Our second stay and already looking forward to our next one.So relaxing and peaceful.touches such as the welcome treats and immaculate hot tub are an added bonus.
-
"The property was immaculate on arrival, the hot tub clean and heated ready to use."
Very welcoming owners. Lovley welcome basket made up on arrival. Would definitely look at coming again.
-
"Perhaps it could do with a clothes horse for indoor drying."
It was quite wet last week and we washed stuff daily. Perhaps include instructions for operating the microwave too. I use a different type and couldn’t work it out. Other than that a great property and excellent value for money.
-
"This was my 4th stay this year."
Warm welcome excellent welcome pack. Everything you could need. Hot tub is amazing. Back in 4 weeks for my birthday. Highly recommended. Saw a dragonfly on this visit. TDC
-
"Was a lovely barn conversion done to a high standard everything was first class ."

Beautiful cottage had everything we needed , hot tub was lovely so was the welcome pack very thoughtful, would highly recommend, ❤️
-
"We had an amazing stay at Robins rest, we haven't stopped telling everyone we speak to about."
Honestly couldn't fault the place. It is in a beautiful location, the accommodation was stunning and the little extras just topped it off. Hot tub was amazing, even when we had rubbish weather. We will definitely be coming back
-
"Always clean and comfortable."
Lovely added touches as in food and snacks left for visitors. Warm and friendly hosts always happy to help.

"My 3rd stay at this amazing place."
Booked again 5 times at one place puts it as my no.1 place to stay. Hosts are wonderful. Hottub is awesome. Highly recommended And the 2 bedroom is just as its described.
-
"The property was immaculate!"
Absolutely stunning and perfect for a couple. Lovely to have a view of the goats. Had a lovely selection of treats and prosecco upon arrival and the owners were very attentive and personable. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Lovely cottage, Very homely with the added extras such as fresh eggs."
Very clean and modern the only downfall would possibly be the shower as it was all flat drainage sometimes took a while and there was no where to hang stuff so a wardrobe would perhaps be a good purchase.
-
"Lovely cottage on a working farm welcome food parcel on arrival hot tub was a ..."
Lovely cottage on a working farm welcome food parcel on arrival hot tub was a must after a days walking in the hills will definitely return again highly recommend thanks for a great stay
-
"We have had a lovely 3 nights stay at Robins rest!"
The treats on arrival were delightful, thank you!! Our daughter loved seeing the goats every morning and night, I think she would have brought them home if she could! The cottage was spotless and had everything it needed, cot and high chair was provided for us and already in the cottage on arrival. The only thing we would to say improve on would be the bbq, it wasn’t the cleanest so we didn’t really want to use it BUT this wouldn’t stop us from returning for another stay at Robins rest…..only this time child free!!
-
"Beautiful cottage ."
Extremely well equipped with thought given to every need. The hot tub is so relaxing all while enjoying the comedic antics of the goats in the compound over the fence.we would highly recommend this to everyone and are already looking forward to our next visit.
-
"This was my 2nd stay this year."
And back again in September. I cannot fault it. This is my number one out of my local holidays. The hot tub is amazing. I am now ticking off the days to my next visit.
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away at Robin’s rest."
The best welcome pack we have ever experienced! Extremely clean, hot tub in a perfect sun spot. Goats are very entertaining. Family are very welcoming and polite. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"Stayed in robins rest for 2 nights with my husband to celebrate our 20 year anniversary and we had such a lovely time."
The cottage is decorated to a very high finish and feels very luxurious. The goats out back are a dream to wake up to and the hot tub was spotlessly clean and very well maintained. I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone x x
-
"We had a lovely stay."
It was an Escape from the city after our daughter’s wedding. Just what we needed. Initially there was a problem with the heating but happily it got sorted. No marks deducted. As it was fixed the next day. Lovely & warm the rest of our hols.
-
"Everything fantastic, just one suggestion, could do with a wardrobe or rail to hang clothes."
-
"Everything was amazing."
The owners have thought of everything a guest might want, from a fabulous welcome pack to hooks for your hot tub towels. Wet room is stunning and garden with hot tub and view of the goats is so relaxing. I'd go back in a flash!
-
"Wow wow wow."
What an absolutely gorgeous property. Hot tub in the rain is awesome i wanted snow i was in n out the hot tub! The bed was way too comfy 11am lie in. The senor light in the wet room who thought of that thank you. The goodies were lovely. Esp the eggs. But the main thing as a foodie is the Quality kichen equipment (I love cooking) you have knocked my favourite cheshire place down to second. I'm planning my next holiday maybe two or three. Safe parking is a must where I stay. The alarm never went off. When it was raining I put my mobile in a zip lock bag and got in the hot tub..Best holiday ever. Clare and Phil you have the best cottage ever. Recommended too a few good friends. See you again. 10/10 Very clean x
-
"Lovely property and owners."
Nice extra touches added to your stay with food and milk in the fridge. Peaceful and relaxing.
-

Lovely stay perfect retreat only one downside the hot tub could do with a overhead cover so you can still use whilst raining
-
"Amazing place for us to spend Christmas"
-
"Absolutely lovely property in a really good location with lots to do around."
Only stayed for 3 nights but was incredible. Was exactly as described, beautiful hot tub and had some treats on arrival such as chocolates, crisps and some oatcakes too. Lovely hosts who are there to answer and questions you may have. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again in the future.
-
"Was an excellent place to stay,comfortable, clean and great little touches like the goodies left when you arrive."
Bed was comfortable and noise was minimal. Hot tub was great and well maintained Only downsides I would say is it was quite difficult to find as sat nav dosent puck it up,a helpful sign on the road would help alot,also hot tub could do with a cover over it.thats why only 4 stars,but apart from that would definitely recommend.
-
"Could not fault this place in any way what so ever!"
After a long drive we arrived to a beautiful, clean and warm property with a lovely welcome hamper and essentials. The hot tub just made it feel that extra bit special and the best bit was waking up in the morning to see the little goats. We will definitely be coming back and will be looking for any excuse to travel up that way again. Thank you so much.
-
"We had a lovely stay, the accommodation was very modern and everywhere was spotless."
We couldn't fault our stay here and the welcome basket, Netflix on the TV and goats to fuss every day made this one of if not the best places we have stopped at.
-
"The cottage was amazing, so clean and modern!"
We had everything we needed for a week! Hot tub was massive and location was perfect!! Thank you
-
"Wonderful! Excellent welcome pack, so clean and tidy and very well equipped."
Peaceful location.
-
"Robin’s Rest is a beautiful holiday home that has been finished to an excellent standard."
My wife and I have stayed in lots of cottages and lodges throughout the UK, we have high standards and expectations and found Robin’s Rest to be amongst the best we’ve stayed in. The location is perfect for visiting both the Peak District and the various potteries in the Staffordshire area. As a keen runner I found the various lanes south / south west of the cottage to be quiet and ideal for my morning runs. We have recommended Robin’s Rest to family and friends and hope to return when next staying in the area.
-
"What a gem."
The most beautiful cottage I have stayed in. The welcome basked was amazing. The family that live on the farm are lovley. I wanted a few days of peace and this farm didn't fail to give me just that. Wish I could have stayed longer. Next time I will book for longer. The only Word's that sum up this place is awesome. Thank you xx
-
"Absolutely beautiful cottage and one of the nicest places we've ever been to!"
We were amazed by the cleanliness and attention to detail. Decorated beautifully and so modern. Had everything we needed. The hot tub was such a nice treat and so relaxing every night. Loved seeing the goats each day just over the fence in the garden. The owners were so friendly and left us a lovely welcome package. Lots to do nearby but we ultimately just felt so relaxed and enjoyed being in the cottage. The farm is in a beautiful location and it was so peaceful. Very comfy bed, lots of storage space, underfloor heating, netflix on the tv's, amazing shower, gorgeous outdoor area and barbeque. They really had thought of everything. We felt so lucky and would love to return again one day.
-
"Absolutely loved this place!"
Was a lovely getaway greeted well, scenery was lovely and quiet will be booking again! Thank you again!
-
"We had such a good stay at Robin’s rest."
All the facilities were as described, modern and with a homely feel. We enjoyed the hot tub and especially liked that it was cleaned daily! I cannot recommend this place enough! There is loads to do around the surrounding area - monkey forest, Trentham gardens. I have recommended this place to all friends and family. Thank you to the owners for such a great stay.
-
"Absolutely amazing place."
It’s the second time we have stayed here and we love it. It has everything you could want for a relaxing stay.
-
"A 'Gem' of a cottage."
Exceeded our expectations for our 2 week stay. Firstly, the cottage itself was perfect, modern, well equipped and with a great small garden (with hot tub) . Location was perfect, rural but within easy reach of places of interest, Steam railways, Trentham Gardens, etc. For us the 'Icing on the cake' were the owners and their family. Phil and Clare were welcoming, helpful and very friendly. We felt we had made new friends. We highly recommend this property.
-
"What a fantastic property, the owners were amazing throughout our stay."
Always on hand if we needed anything. A beautiful modern well designed place, very clean, everything was provided that you could need. The gift basket was a very thoughtful guesture and definitely appreciated. The hot tub was a big hit. The goats were also very friendly and would wander over to have a nosey! It was our first holiday with a 10 week old baby and having everything we needed there was definitely a bonus. I cannot rave about this property enough and we are looking forward to visiting again soon. 5 stars plus for sure!
-
"Robin's Rest was a beautiful and comfortable cottage."
It was very peaceful and we enjoyed our dips in the hot tub.
-
"Stunning property, so clean and it was a 20 minute drive to Alton towers so we spent one of the days there."
Would definitely visit again

Beautiful accommodation and surroundings. We had a wonderful time at Robin's Rest.
-
"Absolutely perfect stay!"
Hosts were great, so accommodating and the extras provided were much appreciated. The property was immaculate and the hot tub was lovely. We have recommended you to our friends and family already.
-
"What a lovely outstanding, high end, attention to detail cottage, an ideal couple’s retreat, a very kind bottle of wine chilled in the fridge, milk and lots of other treats too along with a lovely welcome on arrival."
We had fresh eggs throughout our stay and the wonderful hot tub was needed after our walk’s at the end of the day. Such a warm family environment on the farm, we will be coming back and will definitely recommend to friends thank you for a lovely stay! Stephen and Tina from Norwich.
-
"The property was perfect, immaculately clean, the welcome pack was superb, couldn’t fault anything about the cottage"
-
"Was a great experience can’t fault the place atall!"
We will be returning at some point most definitely
-
"Everything was brilliant, kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils you would need, the welcome gifts were a lovely touch, very comfortable settee, the hot tub was just brilliant, the place was just lovely and warm and cosy, the bed was very comfortable as well, the bathroom was very well equipped as well."
My one negative (which actually turned out to be a positive) was that for some reason only one of us could log into the WiFi at a time which I di think was a negative at first, but my partner needed it more than me, having younger children, I ended up actually being able to fully relax without the distraction. So don't change it, I would definitely recommend Robins Nest to anyone who wants to relax.
-
"Absolutely perfect never been somewhere so clean and lovely!"
Your place is beautiful! And how lovely to open my bedroom window to goats!! Honestly perfect first getaway with my partner.. we will most definitely be rebooking again! X
-

"Thanks to Phil and Clare for a fantastic break in their superbly appointed cottage at Blythe Bridge, the interior was amazing very comfortable in both living room and bedroom and of course the private hot tub outside very relaxing!"
