  • "A lovely holiday accommodation with top quality fittings."

    Comfortable, clean and quiet. Great views to the west. In fact we visited Jodrell Bank on our visit and then realised it’s visible on a clear day. Recommend Jodrell Bank for all ages.The Potteries Museum in Stoke was interesting and has a real Spitfire. If you are into aviation the visitor centre next to Manchester Airports runway is a must. Obviously loads of walks and other things to do. Make sure your car is in good condition lots of long climbs. Also beware of all the cameras and pot holes. All the people of Staffordshire from visitor locations to supermarkets we found were very friendly and helpful. My brother and I both said we’d had a good break.

  • "Amazing stay at Fern cottage."

    Great location would recommend as it’s secluded enough so you have amazing views but also not too far away from some lovely towns. The cottage was really lovely, comfortable and had everything we needed. We have two young daughters and the owners were really accommodating by offering and fitting a stair gate. Cottage was really new and kitted out so had everything we needed- we would definitely like to stay again.

  • "Fern Cottage offers an exceptional holiday getaway."

    It is decorated to a very high standard affording a very stylish and comfortable place to stay. The internal images really don’t do the cottage justice. The cottage itself is a true tranquil and stunning retreat, with probably one of the best vistas of the cheshire plains and Staffordshire moorlands you can get, and you can take it all in from ur very own private patio - the sunsets seen from the patio are absolutely stunning. The only drawback was that there was no outdoor furniture on the patio, I’m sure the owner who was also a great host will remedy that in the near future. Thanks for a wonderful stay

  • "We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at Fern Cottage."

    It is a beautiful property with amazing views across the Cheshire Plain. The property itself is decorated to a high standard, with a lovely contemporary style. It is perfect for 2 - 4 guests and is very dog friendly. The spacious lounge/dining and kitchen area is well designed, comfortable and very well equipped. The owner lives nearby and was very welcoming and attentive and responded extremely promptly to any issues. Great location, handy for the Potteries, Biddulph, Congleton and the North West. Would highly recommend and we hope to return soon.

  • "Fern cottage was very clean and comfortable and close to Biddulph which had all the amenities you needed."

    The owner Mike was extremely helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay there and the sunsets while sitting at the dining table were a highlight at the end of the day. We would highly recommend Fern Cottage to our friends and other Sykes users.

    Thank you for generous feedback I am so pleased to hear you all enjoyed your stay as the first visitors to Fern cottage best regards from Mike and team Property Owner

About the location

BIDDULPH

Stoke-on-Trent 7 miles; Leek 10 miles.

Biddulph nestles in a lush green valley, and is surrounded by Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Known as 'The Garden Town of Staffordshire' it prides itself on the display of flowers throughout the town which can be seen from spring through to late autumn. There is an abundance of activities to occupy visitors, from the National Trust owned Biddulph Grange, with its renowned gardens designed by James Bateman featuring Egyptian temples, oriental pergolas and Scottish glens, and the outstanding Little Moreton Hall is 4 miles away. The town has two delightful country parks to explore, and the short distance to the Peak District National Park makes this town very popular with walkers and hikers. The renowned Jodrell Bank Observatory, home to the Lovell Telescope, is just 15 miles away with Alton Towers 22 miles. All within easy reach are the Staffordshire Moorlands, Derbyshire and the Pennines, and for a day out, why not visit Chester, Liverpool or Manchester, all within an hour and a half’s drive?
