• "Very clean and comfortable cottage in a lovely secluded location."

  The two welcome packs were much appreciated. The small garden was lovely to sit in and enjoy the countryside view. We thought the area was lovely and the nearby monastery ruins are beautiful.

  Thankyou Kevin for your lovely feedback. John and I are glad you both enjoyed your stay. Regards Marion Property Owner

• "Throughly enjoyed my stay at Abbey View (Croxden Abbey is well worth a walk around)."

  Marion and John were very friendly and accommodating, yet the cottage is tucked away and private, so perfect for a quiet retreat. The cottage has everything and was home from home. As for the welcome pack - if there was a school to go to learn how to do a great welcome pack, this lady would be running it! The best welcome pack I've ever received in a Sykes Cottage and I've stayed in a fair few. Really doggy friendly too, would definitely return. Lisa and Walter

  Hi Lisa Thank you for the lovely feedback. John and I are really pleased you and Walter enjoyed your stay. Regards Marion Property Owner

• "Spent a lovely few days at Abbey View Cottage."

  Perfect, quiet setting with a lovey view was just ideal for us to chill out and near enough to visit family and the Peak District. Marion and John made sure that everything we needed was available and made ideal hosts. The welcome provisions were naughty but nice, especially the bottle of wine. Would certainly recommend their cottage.

• "A wonderful cottage in a tranquil setting."

  The cottage is beautifully furnished and so comfortable. Walks straight out the door in such a lovely area, yet near enough to shops and pubs, ideal! We had a lovely week, and as it was a special birthday for one of us, the kitchen was well stocked with all needed to make a special meal. Marion and John are lovely people and really helpful, thank you so much. Hopefully one day we will be back!

• "Wow! This property is amazing: immaculate, clean, beautiful furnishings, everything you could want."

  Thank you Marion for such a friendly welcome. The welcome boxes went above and beyond, even Yuki's box of goodies was lovely. The cosy, relaxing garden was ideal for eating outdoors as the weather was good. We walked to The Raddle Inn for Sunday lunch, along country lanes but there is a public footpath from the farm. Would highly recommend and will be returning again

  Thankyou Mandy for your amazing feedback John and I are so pleased you all had a lovely time. We both appreciate your feed back and look forward to seeing you again on your return. Marion. Property Owner

• "Abbey View Farm Cottage was a wonderful choice, in an attractive area of countryside, with friendly and helpful owners (Marion & John)."

  It had everything necessary for us to enjoy our stay in a peaceful setting, as well as a welcome pack of cake & wine (in addition to the more normal milk, bread etc !). The cottage is fully furnished with a comfortable bed and with plenty of hot water, and was beautifully clean when we arrived. The only snag (if, like us, you are elderly / stiff / arthritic), you may find the sofa rather low and difficult to get up from. However, there was also two armchairs so we didn’t use the sofa! There is plenty of room for parking, and the private garden was a delightful place to sit and and have a coffee / drink / snooze (depending on your wishes) We found lots of places to visit nearby (including a local butcher selling the “best pies in Staffordshire” - we devided the claim was valid. We would recommend Abbey Farm View Cottage wholeheartedly - if’s a pity we can only give it 5 Stars and not 5+. Jim

  Thank you Jim for your lovely feedback . John and I are really pleased you both had a lovely time with us and had a lovely break. Property Owner

• "A last minute booking, but a first class experience."

  A very well appointed cottage in a very peaceful location. Having stayed at quite a number of Sykes cottages this one is definitely up there with the best of them. Thank you to Marion and John for letting us enjoy their peaceful corner of the world (and the most generous selection of bread, milk and treats!). We would happily stay there again.

• "I spent five wonderful days and nights at Abbey View Farm cottage last week."

  I just needed time for myself with my greyhound, Blue, which is what I found, be it taking walks around the area, or relaxing in the garden where all you could hear was the water feature and the birds. We took several walks up to the Abbey which is only half a mile away. If you want a relaxing place to stay, or a base for visiting near or far, you will certainly not be disappointed. Marion and John were very accommodating, making sure I had everything I needed, and if not I only had to ask. Marion has provided plenty of information for eating out and places of interest to visit. She also provided lovely boxes of treats for humans and dogs alike, which was much appreciated by both of us. There are lots of lovely touches to make your stay extra comfortable, again for humans and dogs. I left feeling a little sad that I was leaving, but I also left feeling totally relaxed in a most wonderfully peaceful place. A promise to myself? I will return Marion.

  A real home from home. Marion, the host was excellent. She called round the evening we arrived to check everything was ok for us ( it definitely was) and the goodies she had left for us were brilliant and much appreciated. We hope to return possibly November time. We already know it will be lovely and cosy. Thank you Marion for being so caring about your guests.

  Marion not only helped find out what we needed to do but drove my husband to the chemist to get it! The Cottage was the best Cottage we have stayed at . We've been renting Cottages over the last 15years I have only left one review before and that was a poor one. Even the dog enjoyed her stay . She was very relaxed.

• "Exceptional hospitality from Marion (property owner) in providing mini hampers for us and our dog beforehand and providing a warm friendly welcome on arrival too."

  The cottage was amazing, wonderful to hear woodpeckers and it provided beautiful views of the surrounding area, we wholeheartedly recommend walking through the Croxden abbey ruins and where the cottage is situated for further afield adventures with or without dogs in the scenic Staffordshire Moors. The local pubs are dog friendly and food amazing (as recommend by Marion). Overall an excellent experience and definitely work a visit again in the summer. Thank you to Marion for the extra treats on arrival, our dog Daisy enjoyed them

• "Where do we start, we have just had the great pleasure of starying at the cottage for 4 nights."

  We were met soon after arrival by Marion who was very welcoming and helpful. The cottage was amazing, comfortable, cosy, set up with everything you could possibly need and beautiffuly decorated. Marion had added lots of personal touches and treats for us which were much apprecited. We were so chilled and could have spent all our days sitting watching the birds and squirrels on the bird table in the garden, but we did manage a walk to the Abbey which is a must visit and a trip to the nearest pub which served lovely food. We would highly recommend the cottage and will definitely be re-visitng in the spring/summer so we can enjoy the surrounding area more and the garden in the warmer, hopefully drier weather.

  Thank-you Angela so much for the lovely review John and I are so very pleased you both had a lovely time. It was a pleasure meeting you . Glad you both enjoyed the treats. Thankyou again for booking AbbeyView Farm Cottage. Marion. Property Owner

• "This is a lovely property."

  It’s nicely decorated, well maintained and is fully equipped with everything that you would need during your stay. The log burner is an added treat. Marion the owner came to see us after we arrived to make sure all was ok and she thoughtfully put in a nice welcome box of treats for us and also a separate one for our puppy. A really nice touch. We would certainly stay again hopefully when it’s not so wet. The only drawback which we mentioned to Marion was that the front door goes straight into the front room and so taking shoes off and wiping muddy paws was a must. A wooden or tiled floor would be better . Overall a lovely place, nice owner and a nice area.

  Thank you Jeffrey for your lovely comments and feedback . I’m so pleased you had a most enjoyable stay. Both John and I hope to see you again it was a pleasure meeting you both. Thank you once again. Marion. Property Owner

• "We were absolutely delighted with this quiet peaceful cottage."

  Great care has been taken with the decoration and the things provided. We had very pleasant contact with Marion and John who did everything they could to make our stay as good as it could possibly be. It is a very well set-up cottage in a really attractive area. We were warm and cosy despite the sub-zero temperatures. Watching the birds on the feeders gave us lots of pleasure, as did the welcome packs for us and and Suki the dog. We fully intend to visit again. Thank you for our much-needed break.

  The cottage is well equipped,clean and very cosy. The bed is very compfy so get a good nights sleep and it's in a peaceful location. The owner Marion was lovely, very welcoming and helpfull. There is leaflets in the coattage provided of where to go in the peak district, so that is very helpfull if your new and have never been to the peak district. Its also not far from the main shops and takeaways around 10 mins in the car. The welcome pack provided was a lovely treat it included milk bread biscuits etc and a bottle of wine wich was so lovely. The log fire was nice to light at night and everything that was needed for it was provided. Overall a lovely stay and the cottage has everything you need whilst you are there. I would definitely stay again and recommend Abbey view cottage if your looking for a needed break away in the peak district.
