  • "Ideal location for Alton Towers."

    House was clean and comfortable. The treats left for us were a lovely touch. We had a problem with the EV charger but Sue was very responsive and this was resolved quickly. We would stay again.

  • "The corner house was clean and comfortable and well equipped."

    Just a couple of things we thought could have been done, putting blinds in living room and kingsize bedroom to make it more private. We did have a lovely relaxing holiday there and would recommend it. The kingsize mattress was so comfy we ordered one when we got home.

  • "Excellent house for exploring the peak district and wider areas."

    It is really a home from home, very well equipped, it even has a slow cooker. Lovely secure garden for the dogs and the electric charger is a huge bonus and well priced. Recommend the food at the local.oub the Red Lion, this is a true locals pub so can get loud. The local Panacea is also worth a visit.

  • "The house was lovely and exactly as advertised."

    It was spotlessly clean and had every item you could possibly need. A good location for days out. Perfect for a dog with the secure garden. The only downsides were the 'Alexa run' TV which try as we might could not get a TV guide on so had to go into every app to see what each channel was showing, and the fact the property had only one toilet which was in the main bathroom, which meant if anyone was using the shower/bath/toilet then everyone else had to cross their legs, which with 2 adults and 2 teenagers made it quite difficult in the mornings. Even just a toilet downstairs would have made it much easier. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property to rent and use as a home from home whilst visiting the area

  • "What a wonderful house made into a home."

    They have really thought of everything that you may need during your stay. The cul-de-sac was lovely and quiet, such a perfect location for visiting the peak district and close enough to visit the big cities. Lots to do within the area and supermarkets only 15 mins away. Highly recommend.

    We were celebrating my birthday and our anniversary. The corner house has everything you could need and more. The welcome basket of biscuits, wine and flowers was a lovely touch. We went into Ashbourne, fairways garden centre and Denstone farm shop. We also attended a lovely Sunday market in Leek. A walk round JCB lake is a must if you have a dog. Our dog loved it! Would love to come back again! Many thanks

    It was clean on arrival, and we were impressed with the level of amenities at a high standard, and the extra items provided for guests. It is well placed, - in a quiet cul de sac, with secure parking, and a well maintained and pretty garden. As described, the house is in easy walking distance of the central shop. Plenty of interesting and varied places to visit within an hour's drive, many of these much closer.

  • "As soon as we walked into The CornerHouse in Rocester we knew we'd found our spiritual home."

    Beautifully decorated, maintained, furnished and curated, this house in "the JCB village" put a smile on our faces straight away. The flowers on the dining table, a welcome card from Tony & Sue and the beautiful welcome pack, with dog treats, made us feel very welcome indeed. The garden is a super size and really pretty with the, initially shared, driveway opening out into a private, gated, parking area that is a real asset. The garden is fully enclosed for our doggy pals, with plenty of sniffs to explore. We had a couple of minor issues, one being with the smart tv which needed a retune, but Tony was super responsive and came over to sort it out really quickly, which was brilliant! The village is a delight and it benefits from some of the JCB money that comes into the area. A walk around the grounds of the JCB World Headquarters site is well worth it. Although with the extensive birdlife in the grounds and on the lake you do need to keep your dog on a lead. You might even see the boss man arriving or leaving in his helicopter, as we did, how the other 0.1% live huh. Tony and Sue have thought of so many little extras in the house, things like digital scales in the kitchen if you want to cook "properly". The kind of thing that we bring from home, not usually expecting to find them! The lounge / diner is very comfortable and a good size. We didn't get to benefit from the log burner as we were there during a late summer heatwave but we can confirm that the central heating on our last, chilly, evening is super efficient. The kitchen is a delight, and very well equipped, although I would suggest that some tiles or a piece of glass are put up behind the stove top to save the beautifully painted wall from cooking splashes. The two bedrooms are super comfy with plenty of wardrobe and storage space. The bathroom has been well fitted out, although the fixed glass screen on the R shaped bath can make reaching the taps a little bit tricky on the old back, but that's a minor hassle overall. The bed linen and towels are sumptuous, together with proper flannels and liquid soap, bubble bath etc all in beautiful glass bottles. We suspect the products may come from the Eco shop in Uttoxeter but we can neither confirm nor deny that! I think Sue's keeping her sources a closely guarded secret myself ; - ) This part of the country is stunning, however we were somewhat taken aback at the relative lack of dog friendliness locally. Although Denstone Farm shop is lovely being banished with your dog to a wooden hut away from the main building that is quite literally labelled "The Dog House" isn't our idea of dog friendliness. The Ramblers Retreat slightly further afield does the same, we didn't stay there for brunch in the end because sitting in a cramped wooden shed on a cold, wet day in September really wasn't our idea of fun. We can, however, thoroughly recommend BEAR on Uttoxeter High Street. It is properly dog friendly with water bowls easily to hand for you to fill up for your pooch. Over the border in Derbyshire Chatsworth House is really dog friendly too and although there is a separate area for dog owners to sit with their hounds to eat in the Courtyard cafe you don't feel like a pariah. Indeed most of the sofas in that area were being taken up by non dog owners on the day we visited as they are so comfy! Although naturally you can't take your dog into the main house they are very welcome in the shop. A very sensible marketing trick in my humble opinion because you're far more likely to spend money somewhere where you're made to feel welcome. We didn't pay to go in the cultivated garden but the surrounding parkland makes for a great, lead on, dog walk after lunch. The Duncombe Arms in Ellastone in the next village along to Rocester is also very dog friendly, with brilliant service. We had a delicious evening meal there on the Sunday evening. All in all we can heartily recommend The Cornerhouse, we hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Thank you again to Tony and Sue for their hospitality.

    We had a very comfortable stay even though the weather was not the best. The kitchen was well equipped only one addition needed was a pair of tongs to help turn things over but personal choice. The greeting pack was very good, cupcakes, crisps, a bottle of plonk and a pint of milk, a great start. The drive way was tight for our car to get in with the warning lights going off as I gingerly proceeded through each time. Plenty of room to turn once inside and a great garden, not overlooked. The beds and bedding were clean, comfortable and the heating worked well to keep us cosy in the evening. The bath/shower worked well, only thing I think should be passed on to the owners as they may be unaware is the bath waste takes a long time to flow away leaving one paddling after a shower. The location is central to get to most parts of the peak district easily, situated in a quiet corner of a housing estate. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and yes would recommend.

It is beautifully decorated and furnished and we felt at home immediately. The utility room and lovely secure garden was such a bonus with our 2 dogs, especially when the weather wasn’t so great!! We will almost certainly go back as our daughter lives nearby and sometimes she just might not want us in her house for our whole stay!!!

When I made an enquiry about something they were quick to respond and would have come to help if necessary (not needed in the end!!) It is perfectly placed for Alton Towers, Uttoxeter races, a short drive to the Peak District and lots of lovely local walks too!! The JCB lake is in easy walking distance of the property and is ideal for a not too long and not too dirty dog walk. The village of rocester itself has a friendly pub, a tasty chippy (which we sampled) and also an Indian takeaway and a local shop (which we didn’t!!). There is a farm shop in the next village and the pies from there were amazing!! It’s only a ten minute drive to Uttoxeter where you have tesco, Waitrose, asda plus lots of smaller shops!

  • "We would have given this property full marks if only it had been equiped with an iron and ironing board."

    A quick phone call to the landlord resulted in an immediate delivery of said missing items.When you have been away for more than a few days then those 2 items are essential.Thank you for prompt delivery.Everything else was perfect. Val and Mike Reynolds.

    Hi Val &Mike, Many thanks for finding the time to leave us your feedback and we are really pleased that you found everything other than the lack of an iron and ironing board to be "perfect". To be honest, we had never considered these to be necessary in a holiday let. Possibly because Sue would kill me if I suggested her getting a bit of ironing done whilst we were away! That said, we do always react to guest feedback and a new ironing board /iron was delivered the day after you advised us you needed them. We did the same when we had the suggestion of installing a washing line! Thanks again for choosing to stay at the Cornerhouse and we hope to see you again soon! Tony & Sue Property Owner

    village very close by and the small shop was will stocked, the only grumble we did not like the water and when we go again take bottled. the week away the weather was kind to us. you can park off road which is a bonus and behind looked gate if you want to but we never did felt safe there.

    Hi Brian, Many thanks for finding the time to leave us your feedback and we really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We are very grateful for your comments on the garden. It took a lot of work to get to what it is now but it was well worth the effort! Also, thank you for letting us know about the water. It will enable us to make sure others don't have the same problem. The house does have a water softener and we changed the cartridge in January this year. We have ordered a replacement today and made a note to change it every three months from now on. Thanks again for choosing to stay at the Cornerhouse and we hope to see you again soon!

    It was perfect. Lovely sunny garden with interesting plants in what felt like woodland setting Plenty of room for us and the dog. I cooked lots of meals from scratch and everything I needed was provided. It was one of the best places we have stayed with lots of extra comforts provided. Local walks from doorstep so we were very happy !

    Hi Sally, Many thanks for finding the time to leave us your feedback and we really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We love peace and tranqility of the garden too! It took a lot of work to get to what it is now but it was well worth the effort. Also, grateful for your comments regarding the availability of cooking utensils. When we setting things up, there were many discussions on whether a stick blender, slow cooker, cake tins etc. were really necessary. However, Sue always reminded me that we had agreed to set up the property with a view to creating memorable experiences for our guests, not seeing what we could get away with!

  • "Lovely house with everything you need in kitchen."

    Sofas comfy (not always the case in holiday lets) and nice plush carpets. Garden was wonderful with plants & shrubs. Lovely welcome pack (cup cakes, crisps, wine, dog treats, milk and a bunch of flowers on the dining table. Despite it being in quite a built-up area, it was surprisingly quiet. Would highly recommend.

    Hi Sara, Many thanks for finding the time to leave us your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Your comments regarding the garden are particularly welcome.

There is also a fish & chip shop and an Indian restaurant in the village, if you prefer a takeaway option.

About the location

ROCESTER

Alton Towers 5 miles; Uttoxeter 5 miles; Ashbourne 10 miles.

A pretty little village, Rocester lies on the Derbyshire and Staffordshire border, located on a triangle of land between the River Churnet and River Dove. The site of a Roman fort exists today and the village was also mentioned in the Domesday Book. Rocester is home to the famous JCB factory, and the company has landscaped the surrounding area to provide some wonderful walks with some interesting sculptures around the site and the nearby parkland. Most significant of these is The Fossor, which is made entirely of digger parts and is a powerful representation of JCB. Rocester is halfway along the Staffordshire Way which runs the length of Staffordshire and is also at the start of the Limestone Way which goes to Matlock. Close to Rocester is the lovely market town of Ashbourne, and just a short drive away is Alton Towers, with fun for all the family. Explore either the Staffordshire or Derbyshire part of the Peak District National Park with historic houses, market towns, moorland, rolling hills and valleys, all easily accessible from Rocester.
