• "Absolutely lovely cottage."

  We had a wonderful time.

• "Maggie and Andrew, the owners, were so nice and made us feel really welcome."

  One of our grandsons had several nose bleeds during the week and they were so understanding and provided us with fresh linen. The cottage was very well furnished and the kitchen stocked with all the equipment that you could possibly require. The table was extendable and we enjoyed family meals, games and craft activities around it when we weren’t round and about discovering museums, stately homes, parks etc…. The village’s recreation ground was a great place for the boys to indulge their madness for football and the villagers were so nice to the boys on Halloween. A lovely stay.

• "The property was lovely, clean and comfortable, in a beautiful setting, it’s great for families, the kids loved seeing squirrels in the garden, the owners have provided games and toys which the children appreciated, it’s a great base for visiting Alton Towers, which was a 17 minute drive, Monkey Forrest is around 30 minutes, with lovely walks."

  We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay, we would have given it more stars if we could.

• "The coach house is located in a very quiet spot approx 5 mins off the main road."

  Using Google maps the post code took me straight to the location. We stayed here after needing something to comfortably host 6, inc young children whilst we was attending a wedding and then decided to bulk out our stay with alton towers (20min drive) and the peak wildlife park (30 min drive) etc. The coach house has a decent size garden space which was brill and safe for my 5yr old to be out side. Very clean and modern inside, beds were really comfy, bathrooms were very clean as was the kitchen. Everything you would need in kitchen and more. Everything was as expected pictures are accurate. We ordered takeaway a few nights from looking on just eat/ uber eat - no problem. Overall very pleasant stay. ☺️

• "Old church coach house is set in a small rural village within easy reach of many attractions."

  There is a small shop and pub, the pub does not do food but there is one at Whithington a 10 minuet walk away. The house has comfy beds and good bathrooms a large kitchen with everything you need. The only thing that let it down was the garden and court yard area which could do with a little TLC, overall a very nice place to stay.

• "Lovely little village cottage as advertised, good quality throughout."

  The owners made it special: not only a warm and practically helpful welcome, but lots of useful small touches which showed careful thought has gone into what renters might need, with plenty of handy local information and guidance. To cap it all, when floods almost cut off the hamlet Andrew volunteered to drive us to the rail station, at some personal risk. That went above and beyond any duty call, for which we are very grateful.

  It was clean and comfortable, and very relaxing and peaceful. On a practical note having three double bedrooms and parking for three cars was very helpful, as we were a family group of three couples. All in all a very pleasant stay and I would wholeheartedly recommend Old Church Coach House for anyone looking to holiday in this area.

  The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, ideal for up to 6 adults. A quiet and private location which suited us ideally, owners were approachable and friendly. Nothing negative to say given the cost for the stay, we would consider returning again in the future if we wish to further explore the area.

• "We loved our stay at Church Leigh!"

  The Old Church Coach House was a comfortable place for our family (2+3) to relax and enjoy the surrounding English countryside, with all its narrow lanes and rolling fields. It’s close enough to amenities but definitely country village living! Our hosts next door were ever accomodating and always ready with suggestions and recommendations for our stay!

• "Spotlessly clean, comfortable, converted coach house."

  Lovely little private garden to sit in at the rear. Plenty to do in the area but a car would be needed. In a quiet hamlet on the edge of the Staffordshire moorlands. Friendly owner nearby, who responded immediately when we had a minor problem, and he fixed it. Highly recommended.

  Reviewed by Jill5.0★Jun 2022

• "The cottage overall was very nice and the owners very pleasant."

  My only gripe was access to the property. On a couple of occasions we were unable to park in the property grounds as the road was obstructed with vehicles presumably from people visiting the pub. We instead parked up the road on a small housing estate which is fine as we don't have disabilities or very young children but if we did we would not have been happy.

  We appreciate the feedback. Very occasionally a vehicle at the pub causes a problem. If this occurs, we immediatly take it up with the landlady to get the vehicle moved. In response to the feedback, we have installed a prominent notice stating that 24 hour access is required. Property Owner

• "Loved the house and we were lucky with the weather."

  Had some lovely walks varying from 2/3 -8/9 miles. Definitely recommend the farmers arms pub as very friendly and grateful for your custom. Also the steak and ale pie which was full of lovely well cooked meat. We could have welcomed having some scissors in the cottage but I’m a cross stitcher so had some when we needed them. The owners were very kind keeping us informed and left a lovely starter pack and card with lots of good information. Loved our stay and had a great week. Loved the garden too. Had a wonderful week with friends now need to loose weight!

• "This cottage was brilliant."

  We’ve stayed in many holiday rentals before but this was exceptional. We stayed with our 3 and 1 year olds and were relieved to find they not only had a high chair and cot, but toys and books suitable for them too. The place was spotless and you can tell it was recently renovated to a high standard. Lovely location and plenty of days out are within a 30 minute drive away. Would definitely recommend staying here!

  The property also benefited from lots of little extras that we don’t usually get with holiday let’s such as many children’s toys, cleaning products, cloths, loo rolls, and lots of other little thing that you usually forget to pack. They were very much appreciated in this well loved property.

• "This is a lovely house, Spotlessly clean and beautifully kitted out."

  It was ideal for our young family (2 adults, 3 year old, 1 year old). The hosts have been very helpful and we cannot wait til we come back. 30 mins from Alton Towers, 60 mins from Drayton Manor and there is plenty for a family to explore around Stoke. For those who want peace and quiet, the cottage is surrounded by lovely countryside - that also means if you need to be in a town with a lot of amenities or you don’t have a car this is probably not the place. We’ve had a brilliant time and have loved the house.

  But a few minor niggles: 1. Only duvets available were too warm for the weather (an issue at most cottages we have stayed at) 2. Only one bath mat, so were constantly moving it between the bathroom and ensuite shower room. 3. Heated towel rails would be good (think they were probably the type that heat up with the heating but no good in summer) - we did manage to dry the towels off each day by putting up the airer in the downstairs toilet and rotating them twice a day, but not ideal!
