"We loved our stay here!"
It is such a beautiful cottage so cosy and super clean. Definitely would return! The welcome pack was such a lovely touch and we were so grateful. The area was beautiful to walk around and to head back to a beautiful fire and such a comfortable bed was amazing. I thought I was living in the scene of the film The Holiday! (This is the wife) We cannot fault this property! Outstanding! Thank you
We are delighted you enjoyed your recent stay at Rock Cottage & the surrounding area of beauty it has to offer. Thank you for your kind review & gratitude. We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Best Wishes Dean & Debra Property Owner

"My wife and I spent a very enjoyable week in this charming and characterful country cottage."
Well equipped including a lovely log burner which we made full use of. Set in a quiet, picturesque location with numerous lovely walks close by and a pub just a few yards down the road. Owners Dean and Debbie were most helpful and provided an excellent welcome pack on arrival. It's a traditional country property so be aware there are steps to negotiate,but would not hesitate to recommend this property in a lovely part of the Peak District.
We really appreciate your feedback & are pleased you had an enjoyable stay. Many Thanks Dean & Debra Property Owner

"Lovely stay at Rock Cottage, really cosy, facilities very clean and modern."
Great to sit outside after a days walking straight from the door in the beautiful white peaks area and a pleasure to sit in front of the wood burning fire on an evening. The host was very welcoming and attentive if required. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

About the location
ALSTONEFIELD
Ashbourne 8 miles; Alton Towers 10 miles.
The delightful village of Alstonefield lies on the borders of Derbyshire and Staffordshire between the valleys of the Dove and the Manifold Rivers. A village of real charm and character, Alstonefield has won the 'Best Kept Village Award' ten times (most recently in 2005) and been in the final of the 'National Village of the Year' award in 1998 - a remarkable achievement. A lovely village, it has a truly delightful country pub set on the village green and is surrounded by lovely verdant green countryside. The Manifold River cuts a course through superb scenery and is a delight for both walkers and cyclists with the 'Manifold Trail' following the route of the old Leek to Manifold Light Railway. Nearby are pretty Ilam and Hartington with nice pubs and a wide range of shops and cafes, whilst further afield are the market towns of Ashbourne and Leek.
