"Had a really lovely stay at Beech House over 10 nights."
Being 4 bedrooms meant we were able ti have a room each! The 4th bedroom is really more for children with L shaped bunks but my sister was happy to have this and have her own room. The large family bathroom was only next door. Having 4 bathrooms was something we’ve not experienced before! We loved all the outside areas to sit - would be nice to return in the summer months to make the most of them. But there 2 conservatories to enjoy in the poorer weather. We were unlucky enough to be there during two very bad thunderstorms which took out the electricity in the whole village. Very grateful to have the emergency lights in the bathrooms and dining area and an emergency torch on the upstairs landing. We did look for candles but I understand there has been a problem with visitors and candles before and hence a reluctance to have them in the house. A couple more torches left in the kitchen may have been of benefit as it is large house. The internet was affected the next night and we were reminded what it was like to play games and talk with no phones or tv etc!! The house has everything you need with space to be on your own if you want it. Great for families, up to 3 couples and 3/4 single people. Thank you for a lovely stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

"Lovely holiday cottage, we all really enjoyed our stay here"

"The ground floor bedroom is up one stair so it would be good to make that clear incase people need flat like my son who is in wheelchair."
. we bought our ramp so worked well for us…. Second visit.Some large pasta bowled would be good.large rubbish wheeler bin for outside . Fantastic place to stay. Garden needs a little attention and path is a bit awkward.very cosy.

"I would recommend this cottage to anyone, really cosy and comfortable and the owners have gone above and beyond to provide everything that could be needed."
-
"As mentioned to the owners the top half of the banister rail could not be fully gripped and was therefore precarious particularly coming down for our age group."
-
"We aboslutely loved Beech House!"
The property is welcoming, relaxing and comfortable. The location is excellent, the views from the garden are beautiful. Would highly recommend!

"Great place."
Well equipped. Beautiful area to explore.
-
"Lovely, cosy and welcoming cottage with everything needed for an enjoyable stay."
The location was perfect for exploring the area. Having 3 en-suite double rooms was a treat. Thank you for the firewood and kindling too - it was great to light the stove on our return.
-
"Lovely house Spacious and clean Great bathrooms Loads of kitchen equipment The owners decorated the house for us with a lovely tree etc They even left presents for the grand children which was very thoughtful and much appreciated We couldn't fault a thing!"

"Lovely cottage, great hosts!"

"We had a lovely stay at beech house for 4 nights, we are a family of 7 (2 adults and 5 children aged from 6weeks up to 18)."
The cottage had everything we needed and was only a 15 minute drive away from Alton Towers. We are Gold Merlin Pass holders so we visit Alton Towers as often as we can and would definitely stay here again. Amazing views from all rooms. Rooms were all clean and lovely. We opted for the super king bed instead of the twin zip beds but one mattress was really soft and the other more firm which wasn't ideal but manageable for only a few nights. As a family of 7 a tumble drier or extra clothes airers would have made our stay even better but we did just about manage with the over the bath airer.

"A lovely cottage in a perfect location - the owners were incredibly helpful and welcoming, and the cottage itself was comfortable, clean and well-equipped."
-
"A comfortable and very clean cottage in a really good location for exploring the the Park District."
Onecote is a quiet village and there are pretty views from the cottage, with cows in the next field who look in hopefully through the kitchen windows. It was great to have WiFi since there was no mobile signal, but this could be obtained close by. The Black Lion pub in the next village of Butterton (sounds like a place in “Postman Pat”) was excellent, so good we went twice. National Trust properties, pre-historic sites and numerous walks all within easy driving distance. Don’t miss the cheese shop in Hartington. We had a most enjoyable holiday.
-
"This is the best cottage in the that we have stayed in so far."
It had everything that we needed and more. The kitchen was well stocked, the rooms clean and tidy, the beds comfortable and the owners communicated well. The teenagers in our party agreed because the Wi-Fi was great too. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to stay there again in the future.

"Having to book Friday to Friday is not ideal."
Traffic is much heavier on Fridays & therefore driving potentially more dangerous, especially when having to travel long distances. Saturday to Saturday bookings would be much better for most, we would have thought. Also, we’re retired but working people would have to take an extra days holiday when booking Friday to Friday.
-
"Delightful cottage in a great location and full of character."
Plenty to do and see for our mixed age group. Our 2 year old grandson loved the visitors in the attached field and we were very spoilt by the weather and the views. Trips to the Manifold Way and a paddle in the river at Wetton Mill with a trek up to Thor's cave. Tissington is just one of the beautiful villages in the area, Peak Wildlife Park with POLAR bears.is a must.and Alton Towers is close by. Mehek restaurant and take-away was a great find and the owner so welcoming.
-
"A beautiful cottage in a picturesque location, the whole family enjoyed their stay."
Everything needed to make a relaxing holiday! Easy access to lots of lovely walks and places of interest. Good communication throughout by owners. Would highly recommend to others
-
"A lovely property in a nice setting."
Useful to have a bike shed which we used.
-
"Lovely house, very nice bedrooms and bathrooms, enjoyed our stay there"
-
"What a super property."
Very comfy, clean, cosy and everything you could need. A real bonus having en-suites to the three doubles and an additional bathroom for the grandkids, who also loved the garden. All capped off with great weather too and will hopefully return soon. Thanks to Jane and Ed for the welcoming bottle of fizz which went down very well on the veranda and for keeping in touch to make sure everything was ok.
-
"Jane and Eddy keep an exceptionally clean cottage."
It is full of little touches which make the stay so enjoyable. Beautiful scenery, warm and cosy accommodation and well equipped for all ages. Would definitely have another booking here.
-
"Very well equipped kitchen, great for groups or a family."
Plenty of space.the rooms are nicely decorated and beds have nice linen . Key collection was easy. Several towns within a short easy drive for those that don’t want to go walking . We had a great 2 nights and the property is very reasonably priced
-
"Great property, suitable for 3 couples, 2 children and a baby, plenty of rooms an ensuites."
Lots of attention to Christmas decorations, which made the stay even more special, but still comfortable with little ones around.
-
"A beautiful and delightful house that was exceptional in all areas."
So spacious and finished to a high standard. The owners have clearly gone out of their way to think of everything that a number of families or groups of individuals might need, as there were books, games etc in abundance and different areas to go to if needed. The beds in particular were incredibly comfortable too, and lovely bed linen, which was hugely appreciated. We’ve stayed in many, many places and this is in the top three easily. Excellent.
-
"We have had a fantastic week at Beech House."
Felt like a home from home, with great facilities and comfortable rooms. The en suites were an added bonus. Kitchen very well appointed and the milk and wine was a lovely touch. Great location for gorgeous walks. Beautiful setting. Couldn’t fault it and would highly recommend.
-
"Beautiful cottage."
Very well equipped and just like home from home.
-
"This was a lovely comfortable family getaway house."
Great location for exploring the white Peaks, Leak, a lovely little town that has everything you need, Alton towers just a few minutes drive away. I only really had two issues. The positioning of the rotary washing line; it was a bit awkward to use because it was surrounded by shrubbery. Second, The leather sofas, I knew they were leather when I booked and it is just a personal preference of mine to have fabric sofas. Not easy to keep clean though in a rental house, so totally understand.
-
"An excellent holiday house."
In contrast to some houses that provide you with nothing more than beds, this house had EVERYTHING we could want, from the already-laid fire in the living room, to the bottle of plonk and milk and tea. There was even packs of barbeque briquets and wood. The rooms were clean, fresh and the beds just perfect. The whole week was hugely enjoyable by everyone in our group, which considering we had 3 stroppy teenagers is saying something.

"Lovely house, great place to stay"
-
"A very spacious lovely house, a bathroom for each bedroom is a nice luxury"
-
"Our girls weekend was amazing, the cottage was cosy and very clean with nice added touches such as a bottle of wine and condiments left for us."
The kitchen was very well equipped and had all the little things we forgot to bring. The outdoor spaces at the cottage were lovely on a sunny day and we would definitely stay again!
-
"Well equipped, comfortable and lovely cottage."
Owners very helpful and even brought over a parasol for the garden bench. Beautiful countryside surrounding the cottage.
-
"Lovely cottage, great location, convenient for days out."
-
"This was a beautifully equipped cottage, the owners were really helpful and kind and we would readily return for another stay."
Do book, you won’t be disappointed!

"This is the only property I've stayed in where the description is 100% accurate."
Spacious, clean and with everything you need to be home away from home. In regards to the local area, I imagine it would be lovely for sunner walks, however as we were staying in the middle.of a snowstorm, we didn't leave the house except to pop to a local pub for Sunday lunch (Not within walking distance). Owners were very helpful and actually have a real 'house phone' which came in handy, as there was 0% phone signal - a welcome distraction from real life! Wi-fi was strong for Sky TV and Netflix.
-
"Great location."
Fantastic house. Great that there were 3 ensuites. Such comfortable beds!. Very likely to return.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Beach House."
Everything we needed and more. The bedrooms were great the living room was comfortable and the garden and views were beautiful. The cow's in the field behind the house were great fun. The owners were very helpful and gave us some great tips on eating out when we asked. There are plenty of places to visit round and about. We had a brilliant time at Beach House. If you book this cottage you will not be disappointed.
-
"We had such a wonderful stay at beech cottage, it was the perfect end to the summer holidays, perfect cottage set in beautiful surroundings and worked amazing well for 8 of us ranging in age from 1-70 years old."
So many amazing places to visit that were close by from wonderful walk, beautiful villages and towns to wildlife park and Alton towers were super close too.
-
"Pretty house, lovely garden in a picturesque hamlet."
Excellent location. Manifold Valley, Rudyard Lake, Tittesworth Reservoir and various National Trust properties close by. Leek also is worth a visit. The house was spacious and comfortable. Beds and showers were excellent. We would have liked the use of a bigger fridge and better lighting in the communal rooms for reading at night
-
"A lovely family home with everything you could want for a for a great holiday"
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Beech House, perfect cottage, perfect location."
Great family holiday celebrating Mum’s 80th here in style. Lots of lovely walks and places to visit nearby - Manifold Trail, Dovedale, Leek, Hartington, RSPB Coombes Valley, Rudyard Lake. We enjoyed cosy nights in too in this lovely cottage which had everything we needed and was a great place to relax and unwind. Many thanks to Jane for lovely flowers on arrival and communication before, during and after our stay.

"Beech House cottage is an absolutely lovely property."
It is very clean, very well equipped and very warm. Having a downstairs bedroom was a bonus, and with three out of the four bedrooms being en-suite and with two conservatories and a separate dining room and dining room, there is plenty of space for all to enjoy. The kitchen has everything you need and there is a small garden for young people to enjoy. I rarely take the time to review a property but this is one on the most pleasant cottages my family and I have stayed in. It would’ve been a near perfect break away had the weather been kinder!
-
"Very well appointed and comfortable cottage."
The owners were very helpful and bent over backwards to make our stay enjoyable. Would love to visit again. (6 adults & 2 toddlers)
-
"Our family holiday at Beech House was an great success and completely exceeded our expectations."
All of the rooms, both upstairs and downstairs, were very comfortable and well appointed, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The owner was very helpful and welcoming. I cannot recommend it any more positively!
-
"We were a family group staying in this lovely character property, well equipped and comfortable with plenty of space for all to enjoy."
Many things to do in the area to suit all ages and we were very lucky with the weather, particularly being able to use the fantastic BBQ area. Reid's of Leicester & York.
-
"Very comfortable and spacious house - spotlessly clean and very comfortable."
House had more than enough space for 5 adults and a 8 year old. Having en-suite facilities with the adult rooms and a bathroom next to the children's room was perfect. Contact from owners was good and precise. Very good location. Lovely holiday.
-
"Thank you so much for a lovely stay Jane and Eddie!"
Our group had a great, relaxing weekend at Beech House. We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful garden and using the BBQ & outside table and chairs. Lovely homely cottage, would recommend to anyone. Thanks again, Lizzy

"Booked the cottage as a surprise for my mum's 70th birthday and we had a lovely time."
The cottage had everything we needed and is a wonderful setting with lovely views from almost every room. We went for a walk straight from the house on the Saturday and had a fantastic meal in the local pub, the Jervis Arms, which is literally just across the field. Jane and Ed brought a cot for my son and it was lovely to meet them. Great hosts and great cottage. Would definitely recommend.

"We booked the Beech House for the weekend just gone for a surprise 21st Birthday get together for a friend."
There were 8 of us in total and none of us can fault the accommodation and overall experience at all. Everything was outstanding. The owners were extremely helpful and only at the end of the phone. They went the extra mile and supplied us with a bottle of fizz upon arrival. The Property itself was beautiful and very suitable for our party (8 Adults). The property was exceptionally clean and had a very warm and cosy feel to it. The log burners were also a great touch. The beds were amazing comfy and the the showers were out of this world. Excellent use of kitchen equipment and the perfect amount of space. The Garden was beautiful along with the decking. Even though the majority of the time it was raining, it didn't make a difference to the stunning views. I can imagine this also being quite something on a summers day with the use of the barbecue and sitting area on the decking. Overall an amazing experience and weekend to which all of our party were overwhelmed with. We certainly will be looking at booking again over the summer but hopefully next time for a longer duration.
