"What a place!"
Absolutely gorgeous. My favourite thing was learning to use an Aga and how it is so multifunctional. Everything has been thought of to make your stay so comfortable. When you are townies like us, to go somewhere so peaceful and dark takes some getting used to but we soon got used to it. Communication was fab from hosts too. Thanks so much, we will be back.

"An amazing cottage."
!!! Luxurious throughout, and set in picturesque scenery. It was lovely to meet Liz and Kelvin.
-
"We were totally blown away with how beautiful Stag Cottage is."
Every single detail in the decor and furnishings has been thought of. Liz and Kelvin were amazing hosts reassuring us if we needed anything we only needed to ask. Nestled on the farm you are surrounded by rolling hills and countryside. We could not recommend a stay here enough. We have already booked again for next year! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"This place is truly special."
The interior of the cottage is everything you could wish for, it feels like pure luxury yet so cosy and a home from home feel. So spacious, and the most comfortable bed ever! The location is great, the property is easy to locate and you’re only a short drive from many surrounding places to visit, plenty lovely local pubs to chose from and loads of nice walks to adventure on in The Peak District, and even directly from the cottage. The wildlife & animals surrounding the property is wonderful to see and it gives the perfect rural setting, with the added bonus of a hot tub under the starry skies. This place allows you the perfect mix, for either a relaxing break to do nothing but chill or explore the area and go on an adventure, we were spoilt for choice. The hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful, they have really created something special here, we were absolutely gutted to leave but it just means we have to come again! This place (unknowingly to me at the time) would also become the place I got engaged which only added to the whole experience. I couldn’t have wished for anything more, thank you for everything.

"Stay cottage is absolutely stunning and the interior decoration has been done to an exceptional standard."
It really is like a country show home with a warm cosy feeling. The location is idyllic with stunning scenery and great places to visit within a short driving distance. It was lovely meeting Liz and kelvin when we arrived and knowing help was quickly available from them if needed. We had never visited the Peak district before and now cannot wait to return and stay at the cottage again

"Highly recommended!"
What a fantastic place! Came home with house envy and still depressed now. Beautiful location, great walks and perfect place to relax - just what we needed. The Fletchers are the perfect hosts too. Thanks again for a fabulous stay.

"Stunning cottage, much larger than expected."
Loved the Aga, hot tub and the fact it had a washing machine. Pure luxury and the decor is to a very high standard. Fab location with many places locally to visit. Leek, Biddulph and Blaze Farm being our favourites. Watching the chickens potter around the garden from the conservatory is a pleasure. Host family very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

"It was lovely to receive a bottle of champagne on arrival."
Was unclear which paths we could use from the cottage. The Ryles Arms was excellent for an evening meal.
-
"We had an amazingly relaxing few days at Stag Cottage."
It is in a wonderful setting, is beautiful throughout, with every attention to detail in terms of the visitors’ comfort. We loved everything about it. Special thanks to Liz, who has returned my husband’s wallet and keys, left in the kitchen. Senior moment! The quality of the renovation is wonderful - clearly a great deal of thought, imagination and hard work have gone into making it a very special holiday home. There is a lovely atmosphere about the place and we have already booked again. Thank you. We are already looking forward to our next trip.

"Stag cottage was everything you needed for a quiet ,peaceful , beautiful place , with lovely country pubs nearby , lovely to meet Liz and Kelvin , and family made it extra special, would love to go and stay again ."
-
"The cottage was just as it appeared in the pictures."
Everything was done to a high standard. Having never used an Aga before I thought we would find it difficult but the instructions were spot on. The hot tub was a lovely extra - I’d probably allow it more 3 hours to heat, than 2 though. There are some beautiful walks around the area. We did walk to the Ryles Arms which was a good 35/40 min walk via the road - the food is lovely there. All in all an absolutely lovely, peaceful, relaxing weekend and the owners were very helpful.
-
"Outstanding cottage, beautiful surrounding."
Highly recommended.
-
"The cottage was fabulous and Kelvin Liz and the children could not have been more welcoming to us as a family."
We will definitely be going back once we are a family of 5!

"The cottage is beautiful and is a wonderful place to stay."

"What an amazing holiday cottage which has been sympathetically restored with no expense spared."
We spent a long weekend with friends there and we felt at home there straight away. It has everything and more that you could wish for! The hosts, Liz and Kelvin, were so friendly and helpful, taking time out to chat to us and helping us sort the hot tub out which is heated by a log burner! We loved that we could collect freshly laid eggs for breakfast from the chicken coup at the bottom of the garden. The scenery around is beautiful, ideal for a chilling weekend away. We visited Leek and Bakewell and the Ryals Arms just up the road does wonderful food! All in all we had the perfect weekend with friends in a beautiful cottage and the hosts couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend and we will definitely return!
-
"Wow what a stunning cottage, set in a highly admired, peaceful space."
Everything was so perfectly placed and it was so nice to admire the hard work and thoughts that have gone into every guests stay. We had a great relaxing time here with our family and friends and will definitely be visiting again. Love The Hawdon’s
-
"Really lovely cottage which was extremely well presented yet felt homely."
We had a really lovely time staying there and Liz and Kelvin were really helpful. Our daughter loved that she could let the chickens out and collect the eggs and she was fascinated by the goings on at the farm. Great location too.
-
"We had a wonderful time at Stag Cottage, The cottage has everything you need and looks like a show home."
All furnishings and facilities are 5 star. The area is ideal for exploring the Peak District with plenty of local walks. The owners (K & L) are very friendly and you are left alone to enjoy your holiday. The cottage is located on a working farm and therefore for safety reasons you are not permitted to wander around the farm yards or buildings. We had a wonderful holiday, and even had some snow.

"We have had such a wonderful time here at Stag Cottage!"
The minute we walked in, we knew this cottage was very special. It’s been decorated beautifully and it has such a cosy feel to it. We love all the accessories. The sofa and beds are so comfortable! It’s a very peaceful place. We enjoyed cooking on the arga, a whole new experience for us! Loved seeing the farm cat and the dog, sheep, horses and goats! We met Kelvin and Liz and they are such lovely, welcoming hosts! Thoroughly enjoyed our time. Will come again! Thanks so much Kelvin & Liz. Jules & Chris, Suffolk.

"We arrived at this beautiful cottage with a very warm welcome from Kelvin and Liz they were so friendly."
It was a lovely weekend with it having the Christmas village taking place on the farm, even though the weather was terrible it didn’t spoil it, we got to see all the animals and taste the mulled wine even got to meet Chef Marcus Bean and eat some of his amazing food. The cottage is outstanding the furnishings are top class, and the beds were so comfy, hot tub was great very hot, we had the best time and would definitely come back. Thank you Kelvin and Liz. Love from the ladies from Nottingham xx

"A very enjoyable stay."
Kelvin and Liz were excellent hosts and have renovated the cottage to an extremely high standard. We had an amazing weekend at the farm and were lucky enough to see the Christmas Special being filmed. To top it off we had real snow!! We will most certainly be back next year. Thanks Guys..

"This property is absolutely stunning, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The owners were friendly and welcoming. The views are amazing, we will definitely be back

"Luxury. We had a great time staying at Stag Cottage."
Would certainly recommend.
-
"We really loved this cottage."
Beautifully designed and presented with 3 large bedrooms and two bathrooms and an enormous kitchen with an Aga. Outside was a very large wood fired jacuzzi which we used and was really nice.. They also left us a very generous welcome pack of wine, chocolates and popcorn. There are several pubs nearby where you can eat at and ,20 mins drive, is the pretty historic town of Buxton which is a must see. We would highly recommend this house.

"Beautiful cottage in a delightful setting creating a peaceful rural retreat from the hurley burley of modern life."
From the moment you enter the drive towards the property you step into a world of relaxation and tranquility. Liz and Kelvin are caring, very approachable and determined to make your stay memorable. A thoroughly enjoyable week. What a pity that Sykes Cottage admin before our departure from home was nothing like the experience we had with our previous 4 bookings.

"We spent a week at the cottage as a family, and had a great time."
The hosts K&L were gracious, friendly, responsive and personable, and really went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The kids loved seeing all the animals on the farm, feeding the chickens and holding the newborn piglets! The cottage is spacious, well-stocked, and recently decorated to a high spec. The hottub was a bonus on a cold, wet week! The location is perfect - it’s remote enough so we could switch off and relax, but close enough to amenities in case needed. The village of Wincle (about 2 miles away) has a charming micro brewery and pub, and can be used as a departure point for some stunning country walks. The cottage is also within easy driving distance (or ambitious walking distance) of Lud's Church and the Roaches. A couple of really minor things - - Google Maps took us to the wrong farm (just down the road), so some clearer directions would be helpful. - I really appreciated the laundry service and it was professional and really quick, but as a family (who did not pack enough clothes for a muddy week away!!) it would have been helpful to do our own laundry once or twice - so just worth noting that there is no washing machine - a few extra kitchen utensils would have been helpful, e.g. peeler, spatula, serving / cooking spoon, more crockery But all that being said, we had a fantastic week and would love to come back!

"Fantastic property - even better than the images suggested."
Plus the family who owned the cottage were very welcoming. We loved it and would definitely go back for another trip.

The property
Sutton 2.9 miles.
Set on the outskirts of the rural village of Wincle, a short drive south from Sutton in Cheshire, lies this fabulous, detached, stone-build farmhouse, Stag Cottage.
Resting on private farmland, boasting off-road parking, gorgeous interiors, and superb views of the surrounding countryside, this beautiful property welcomes a family of six for a relaxing, self-catered escape near the outstanding Peak District National Park.
After parking up and unpacking, make yourself at home in your wonderful new lodgings, by getting to work in the fully-equipped kitchen, complete with a central island and all the appliances you'll require to whip up a tasty, home-cooked dinner.
Enjoy your meals as a family gathered around the dining table, or take your feasts outside into the idyllic rear garden, the perfect spot to sit back and raise a glass of your favourite tipple to toast your getaway.
When you're finished wining and dining, take time to relax with an indulgent dip in your very own private hot tub, before you settle down to watch a film on the Smart TV in the plush sitting room as you're kept warm by the crackling embers of a woodburning stove.
When sleep finally calls, head upstairs to refresh with a rejuvenating shower or a restorative bath before you finally hunker down for a well-earned rest in one of the three sumptuous, king-size bedrooms.
Enjoy your morning coffee out back whilst soaking in your rural surroundings before you head out to explore your local area.
In Sutton, stock up on essentials at the aptly-named Sutton General Stores, before you settle down to enjoy a hearty pub lunch at the historic Sutton Hall.
For a day out, head east into the Peak District National Park, where Bamford Mill, Peveril Castle, and Speedwell Cavern are all waiting to be explored.
For an unforgettable holiday in Cheshire, choose a stay at Stag Cottage.
