• "Amazing cottage with great views and fully equipped with all modern amenities that made our stay most comfortable."

  We were unable to use the lovely outside patio as it was winter but excellent views overlooking the Livery. Frog Meadow Barn is very spacious, very comfortable and well maintained. Washing machine and dishwasher were a great comfort. . The kitchen was very spacious and all equipment worked well. The bathroom and shower are really spacious too and the shower unlike many properties is powered. The welcome goodies on arrival were an added bonus. We rang in the New Year from the comfort of Frog Meadow Farm. Jan and Terry recommended restaurants in Congleton which were excellent. The cottage was exactly what we were looking for and it was a real treat. Thank you Jan and Terry for a relaxing and quiet week and a great way to ring in the New Year.

  we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and the local restaurants best wishes for 2025 Jan & Terry Property Owner

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at frog meadow barn."

  The essentials provided were above & beyond, plenty of tea, sugar, kitchen roll, toilet paper, washing up liquid, cleaning items. A pint of milk, luxury biscuits & a bottle of wine provided were very much appreciated! The towels & bedding were excellent. The views from the living room & outside veranda were lovely. This was a very convenient place to stay to spend time with our daughter who has recently graduated as a neonatal nurse at royal stoke university hospital. Thank you for your hospitality.

  thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback.We are so glad you enjoyed your stay best wishes jan and terry Property Owner

• "We had a lovely week at Frogmeadow Barn."

  The cottage was perfectly situated for what we wanted to do in the area. Terry and Jan are very friendly and responsive when needed. The television set up is a bit complicated but Terry sorted it out each time it was necessary. Lovely powerful shower. Regarding an earlier review we didn't see any mice in the house. There is a lovely gazebo/decking area with fabulous views, although we didn't have the weather/time to make the most of this. Would definitely recommend.

  Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Jan & Terry Property Owner

• "The property was generally tired."

  Except for bathroom Skirting Boards half inch from walls. Blind in kitchen stuck half down. Staining in fridge. Bottom of kettle not good, used pan to boil water. Brush for washing up dirty. At approx 22.30 on saturday a mouse ran across the floor to under the sofa my wife was sitting on. My wife has a fobia about mice and was in a terrible state. We had to leave. I informed the owner and he said I'm sorry about that, no offer to get rid of the mouse was made. It wouldn't have have made any difference we would still have left. We left at 23.20. But for the mouse we would not have complained but we payed for 7 nights rent and only used 1 . This made us a little angry .

  we are sorry that you chose to leave early having sighted a mouse.we have since provided two 'mouse motel' humane traps to catch the culprit.As in all country residences it is not unusual for the odd mouse to visit..On the other issues you mention; the kitchen blind functions well.We are replacing the washing up brush and looking into the disclolouration at the bottom of the kettle and the small stain in the fridge.The skirting boards have warped and expanded over the years resulting in some small gaps between the boards and the walls.we will add this fix to our off season maintenance plan. The decor is exactly as shown in the sykes photographs with the exception of the shower and master bedroom carpet which were newly installed this season. lt is therefore subjective as to wether the property is 'tired'.Thank you for your detailed and helpful feedback.

  The property offered good value for money, was comfortable warm and well equipped. Nice welcome pack thank you. It’s worth noting that if you suffer from allergies the quilt and pillows are feathers, lovely and comfortable but aggravated my asthma.

  Thank you for your kind comments. We note your concern on allergies and have added a note in the bedroom to say that synthetic duvets and pillows are available on request. This in addition to the existing note in the blue guidebook in the lounge. best wishes Jan & Terry Property Owner

• "The facilities and convenience of the position was excellent."

  Because of the time of year it would have benefited with an extra source of heating in the living room due to the heating not coming on until 5.30. We were very pleased with Supply of leaflets and information, together with books, games and Dvd's.

  thank you for your kind and helpful feedback. We could have adjusted the heating to be more comfortable for you if you had mentioned it during your stay. best wihes Jan and Terry Property Owner

• "A lovely barn conversion."

  obviously originally for personal use. Good setting and close enough for local shops etc. Fully equipped a lot of which we did not use. Comfortable lounge and bed. (Slept well). We needed to have some better help in the shower. Both well into our 80's with some mobility and balance issues a grab rail and longer shower mat would have been beneficial. Never the less we would highly recommend the barn to anyone. Certainly the best one we have ever rented. Thank you Terry & Jan

• "This was our second visit, it is peaceful comfortable and within easy reach of Supermarkets."

  On arrival Terrry did the meet and greet, he had put milk in the fridge and a bottle of wine plus my favourite Border biscuits. If you have any issues Terry or Jan are usually on hand. They have a rainfall shower which is great. All in All I would recommend Frog Meadow Barn be it for just a bit of peaceful comfortable change of scenery or if you like exploring there are plenty places to visit, they also have many leaflets on nearby attractions. Oh and while I remember a DVD collection that is possibly in to the hundreds, so something for everyone.

• "We had a lovely time at the Frog Meadow Barn."

  We stayed for four weeks so we had lots of time to experience the property throughout. The cottage is very well situated at the end of the cul-de-sac with a big clean private drive. Very quiet and peaceful property. The owners live right next door but we didn't really see them very much and felt very private. But when we had an issue the owner was on hand and we got it solved very quickly. The property is rather spacious and very well equipped for a long stay or even having some people over. The kitchen has everything you need or could wish for. Coffee, tea and spices are provided. Maybe the kitchen worktops could do with a bit better lighing though. We even got some wine and snacks provided. Very thoughtful. Thank you!! The beds are really comportable, the double bedroom very spacious and the wardrobe was even big enough for a month long stay. Very thoughtful decoration themes going on and lighting throughout the barn made us feel very cosy and comfortable. I terms of entertainment there is a big smart TV with anything under the sun to watch. Also tones of DVD's, books and magazines to indulge in. Infortunately due to cold weather we didn't enjoy the garden. But the view of the country side and padocks from the living room was definitely one of many blessings that made this stay a memorable one. The owners didn't spare a penny to make us feel welcome and comfortable. All in all it's a five star property, situated in a beautiful setting and owned by a very hospitable couple. Anyone looking for a treat should definitely consider it!!!

• "Under kitchen unit lighting will help as a bit dark."

  Smoke alarms mounted on ceilings should be installed. Guests would feel safer. Sharp sand on patio decking may help as algae was very slippy which meant we couldn't go outside easily. This said we still had a very enjoyable stay so no regrets. Thanks.

  The gardens & views from the patio window in the lounge were beautiful. It was very relaxing & change of scene after this terrible year of lockdown. We were able to meet up with our grandson & his fiancé which we hadn't seen since Christmas.

• "Frog Meadow Barn was absolutely perfect!"

  The owners were incredible - going above and beyond when we needed assistance with alarms going off during our stay. They had all the amenities we could have possibly wanted. Both spacious and cosy, as we spent a fair few days inside rather than exploring (due to a rather rainy week in October) Perfectly located if you wish to explore into the Peak Distrcit and the many Cave systems in the area. Wonderful walks nearby - would highly recommend the Knypersley Reservoir. There is a supermarket just minutes up the road, as well as the high street if you wish to shop. Overall, it was an incredible break for us, and would definitely go back again when we are able!

• "The accommodation was really nice, spacious, modern and did have everything you needed."

  The garden was beautiful and having the horses in the field was an added bonus for us. The view was amazing. However, the owners property is attached and the garden is not sectioned off so they share it with you, which does give you less privacy. Also, they have 2 dogs and a cat so if you are wary of dogs I wouldn't recommend staying here. We did have company at the table when we were eating outside which wasn't ideal. Also we found the cat in the house a couple of times and had to shoo it out. If you have allergies, not for you. The location of the property is ideal and the owners gave us great recommendations for places to eat nearby.

  Thank you for staying at Frog Meadow Barn and providing feedback on your stay. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the house and the area. We have taken on board your comments regarding the garden and have now screened off the section between us and guests for privacy. Property Owner

  The property was in a lovely location. It is near to all amenities and wonderful sightseeing locations. The house itself was wonderfully maintained. The hosts Jan and Terry were so inviting and helpful. Jan has done a lot of detailed thinking on house decoration, her attention to detail was immaculate. The view from the house opening to back garden and mountain is breathtaking. The hosts have thought about smallest detail, like how to guides with diagrams for using TV, a good collection of DVD's, nice collection of cookies, sightseeing pamphlets and local restaurants suggestions with menus. Our car broke down and they also have helped us with finding a local mechanic and made us feel incredibly welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and strongly recommend the property.I will most probably return back just to enjoy the quiet and calm along with the host#s's hospitality. This visit was fully satisfying and give 5 stars. ***** Loving regards, Gowri :)

  Dear Gowri, We are so pleased that you and your parents enjoyed your stay in the Barn. Please wish your parents an enjoyable journey home and tell them we would be honoured to welcome you all back again in the future. Warmest regards Terry and Jan Property Owner
