"Saddlers is situated in a lovely quiet location."
The property is fabulous, very spacious, warm and has everything you need to make your stay memorable. Rachael and Paul made us feel very welcome, the prosecco and cupcakes were a lovely touch. We would highly recommend Saddlers and will certainly return ourselves if we come back to the area.

"Saddlers was a perfect weekend getaway for my partners birthday."
The property is clean, well maintained and has all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay. The hot tub was a nice touch and a great way to unwind. Our host Rachael was very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay and recommended a number of great activities with the family locally like Trentham Gardens. The towns of Uttoxeter and Stone are only a short drive away for nice restaurants & bars. We would highly recommend Saddlers and would definitely stay again in future!

"Wonderful place, thoroughly enjoyed the stay, very welcoming host."
Would be great to have some cushions or an improvement in the outdoor seating to enjoy being outside with a little more comfort would be my only suggestion.
Thank you for your great review. I think a great suggestion and will endeavour to purchase some outdoor furniture for Saddlers. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Lovely place to stay, clean and modern."
Very friendly owner Rachael was welcoming and helpful. Communication prior to stay was excellent with detailed directions/key code beforehand. Nice quiet location and private. Hot tub was fab and maintained throughout stay. Prosecco and cakes on arrival which was a bonus. The log burner was nice, would definitely stay here again.

-
"We had a really enjoyable stay with our kids and dog."
The property is very nicely finished and the owner Rachael was very helpful. We enjoyed local pub walks despite some rather soggy weather and the hot tub on return was super. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxed rural Staffordshire break. Thank you Rachael, you have a very nice property in a lovely setting and the cupcakes and fizz on arrival was a lovely gesture.
-
"Great property, clean tidy with all mod cons."
Comfy bed and lovely aspect. Hot tub is a must. Rachael is on hand and a great host. Loved the fizz and mince pies on arrival. Well placed for Trentham, Shugborough and the Peak District. Will return at some point.
Thank you for your great feedback, really appreciated. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful time at Saddlers."
It was a great find and the perfect retreat for us. Rachael and Paul were the perfect hosts and Nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely go back again to stay longer and explore more of the surrounding areas.
Thank you for your great review, really appreciated Property Owner

"I’m sorry we had to leave early because my husband was not well but we enjoyed it very much."
We were very sad to see you leave early, hopefully we'll see you again sometime in the near future. Best Wishes from us all and we wish your husband a speedy recovery. Property Owner

"The Saddlers is a lovely property."
It was clean, cosy and comfortable. Racheal was very responsive to all our questions and needs, a fantastic and attentive host. The log fire was lovely, sofas comfy and everything you could need was available in the kitchen. Our visits from Ted (the friendly dog from next door) were a lovely surprise, and it was nice seeing the cows graze in the field in the mornings. If I was being very critical, the bin was a little far from the kitchen, and the lid could do with fixing. And the microwave was a little rusty on the inside, it could do with being replaced. But honestly, these are very minor issues. The place really is a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle of life. I highly recommend it :)
Thank you for your great feedback and for letting me know Ted has been making social calls. I'll endeavour to make sure he doesn't visit Saddlers in the future as I appreciate that other guests and their dogs are not keen on dogs who they don't know. Thank you for your comments regarding the microwave and rubbish bin which have now been replaced. We're glad you enjoyed your break at Saddlers. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Saddlers and enjoyed time together as a family."
I think on reflection, maybe just a few points that would of allowed us to give more than 4*. Yes it sleeps 6 (2 people being on the sofabed)- but this sofa bed is in the living room with no curtains to block the light out or give you any privacy. For me, this place is better suited to 4 people maximum. We felt the place could have been a little cleaner but nothing outrageous. Eg-some dishes and utensils were dirty, floor a little muddy. There was also some dog poo on the garden out the front, not ideal when you have children with you- but, this is a dog friendly cottage so, we accept it to a degree. Overall, a lovely place, the owner was lovely and we did have a great time. Just those little things which have knocked it down to a 4*. The hot tub was lovely & private.
I am proud to say that Saddlers is thoroughly cleaned to a very high standard, as previous reviews reflect. It is in our interest as owners to ensure our property is thoroughly clean and well maintained for all our guests. A dishwasher is provided ensuring all utensils, crockery and glasses are all kept in pristine condition. All items are checked on change over along with a thorough sweep, hoover and finally mop of the floors throughout. Members of your party arrived before you, on what was a particularly wet day. They proceeded to carry in overnight bags from their car parked outside, this is why you thought the floor muddy. The dog poo you refer to was in our garden, which we endeavour to pick up religiously every day, not your private enclosed garden you have exclusive use of. The property is described very well on the Sykes website and clearly states the number of bedrooms and the arrangement of the property. The main living area does have voile curtains which you cannot see through when outside. Saddlers is not overlooked and looks out over open fields, ensuring complete privacy. I am saddened that you did not allow me to address your issues at the time of your short stay which would have been sorted out instantly. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at Saddlers. Property Owner

"Lovely property, with everything as advertised making for an easy break away with our dog and 5 month old baby."
Would highly recommend to anybody and would go again.
-
"Such a gorgeous barn in a fab location owners rachael and paul are so lovely Would highly recommend"
-
"We knew as soon as we saw the property online that it would be a lovely place to stay and we were right."
The location was perfect, the property was clean and had everything we needed and the owners were very helpful in providing additional facilities (grab rails, shower seat etc.) for a guest with mobility issues. Finding such a nice property that’s also dog friendly and with a hot tub was a real bonus. The owners went out of their way to replace a kitchen item damaged by previous guests (within a couple of hours of mentioning it!) and couldn’t have been more helpful. We rarely return to the same place as we like seeing new areas but it was so lovely here that we will book again. Would highly recommend to all but especially anyone looking for a dog/disability friendly place.
-
"We had an amazing stay at Saddlers."
A lovely greeting on arrival and the little bonus of a chilled bottle of fizz and cupcakes was a nice touch. Some lovely dog walks around the area too. The hot tub was all ready and up to temperature when we arrived
-
"Saddlers is a lovely quiet place and gave us a chance to relax and recoup."
The most important thing to us, when we stay anywhere, is cleanliness and this place was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, well equipt and perfect if you have a dog as the property is secure. The underfloor heating worked well and the hot tub was fantastic. Our host Rachael was welcoming and you get the feeling no ask would be too big. It has a wetroom, and the the next time we visit we'll take my mother in law as it is also accessibility friendly. We'll be back.
-
"What a stunning house!"
The owners had treats for us on arrival and had thought about all the little personal touches to make our stay perfect, the property was 10/10 and perfect for out girls weekend away. Just 5 mins away is the best spa we have ever been too. If you are looking for an escape from the world, this is the house for you!
-
"A secluded, peaceful and relaxing holiday was enjoyed by our family due to approachable and helpful hosts, a warm fire, comfortable beds and a great hot tub."
Visiting a nearby farm where organic milk shakes, eggs and potatoes could be purchased was also a bonus.
-
"We had a lovely relaxing week away."
The wheelchair ramp and wet room made our stay easier. There was enough room to get her wheelchair around. Had everything you needed. The hot tub was nice but it could do with a wind breaker.
-
"Our mini break away at Saddlers provided everything we needed for rest and relaxation."
The owners were lovely, helpful and courteous of our needs. My 3 year old daughter's haven't stopped asking about our return to the 'holiday house' since we left.
-
"Would like to say a big thank you to Rachael, Paul & Ted for an amazing stay, we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone."
Rachael was very kind to show us around when we first arrived and we were greeted with some lovely cupcakes, Prosecco & a small carton of milk in the fridge to start us off with. We took our Labrador Winston who also enjoyed his stay very much, the area is great for dog walking and we visited some beautiful places during our stay especially in stone where we found some lovely coffee shops. The amenities were great and we really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a long day! The property was fantastic and had everything we needed, we couldn’t of asked for more! Thanks again.
-
"This was a beautiful and tastefully decorated property with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay."
Spotlessly clean and well maintained and with the added bonus of the hot tub. It was also lovely to watch the cows in the opposite field in the mornings which being townies we don’t see much of! Perfectly located for Alton Towers and the potteries and with a safe and enclosed garden for our dogs. Thank you to owners Rachael and Paul for the welcome Prosecco and cakes! Would definitely like to return but preferably without the dogs so that we can do more exploring.
-
"We all loved our stay, including our pet dog."
Owner was really friendly and happy for us to move furniture to make a bit more space for 2 wheelchairs. So very wheelchair friendly as advertised. Shower room could do with a grab rail but other than that loved it. Would book again if come back to this area. Thank you!
Hi Emma, thank you for your great review. We do have grab rails for the shower room, they are located in the large storage cabinet in the hallway. Rachael Property Owner

"Loved this place."
Really friendly owners, quality accommodation and a really secure garden for the dog which was also an all-day sun trap. Looked out over a field with visiting cows. Great pub down the road.
-
"We loved our time at Saddlers."
Rachael and Paul are very welcoming and easy to contact if you need help. The accommodation is immaculate and clean, it’s very modern and contemporary. Beds are very comfortable and ample storage space. The Hot tub is excellent and unlike previous holidays where they say it’s a hot tub and leave you a inflatable one, this one is amazing. Would highly recommend a visit. Thanks for such a great holiday.
-
"We enjoyed our stay, thank you."
-
"The property was to a very high standard - It was very clean and the Owners really made it lovely, being very approachable and adding some little extra touches - milk, cupcakes, prosecco, etc."
Thanks Rachael, Paul and of course, Ted the dog for such a great stay!
-
"A lovely property with great hosts."
-
"Had a fab time, it was perfect for our little family and we can't wait to return."
Thank you for all the extra little touches and making us feel so welcome
-
"Had a fantastic stay Rachael and her husband were very helpful."
The only tip would be to take a powerful fan if staying in the summer months.
Hi Paul, thank you for your review. We do provide a fan, it’s kept in the wardrobe. Property Owner
-
"Such a beautiful property, it immaculately clean and everything inside looked brand new."
Hot tub was lovely too! Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family!
-
"We had an amazing time at the barn!"
It had all the facilities required and the hot tub was wonderful. Lots to do in the local area, we visited trentham gardens and a local spa! Rachael was a lovely host who came to introduce herself then left us to it! Would highly recommend!
-
"We had a perfect break here, exploring the area and meeting up with family."
Saddlers is comfortable and well equipped and the owners couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. Hot tub was a real bonus.
-
"We had everything we wanted at Saddlers."
The setting and accommodation is beautiful. Would definitely recommend. The host could not have done enough for us to ensure our stay was perfect.
-
"Lovely place to stay for quiet relaxing break facilities were fantastic"
-
"Wow! We had the best time away at Saddlers for my birthday!"
We arrived and Rachael came over to say hello and showed me around and let me know everything and anything we needed to know! Saddlers was incredibly clean and well laid out, perfect if you are visiting with someone who is in a wheelchair! My partner is wheelchair bound and found it easy to use the wet room and get over the toilet in her shower chair. I don’t think we can fault Saddlers in any way! We will definitely return again in the future!
-
"Had a wonderful stay at Saddlers with very attentive hosts."
Hot tub was lovely.
-
"We had a lovely relaxing few days away here at saddlers."
A lovely little cosy lodge with everything we needed. We even took 2 little dogs who settled very well and was able to run around the garden securely.
-
"Outstanding!"
Everything was perfect. Property is built to a very high standard, but maintaining its Coziness throughout. Cannot fault anything. Ideal getaway.
-
"A great week, owners really accommodating, it does what it says on the tin!"
-
"Lovely place to have a break and some nice places to visit highly recommend"
-
"Had a lovely break."
The accommodation is lovely and spotless. Very nice touches leaving us cakes and Prosecco and milk. The garden was great for the dogs. My daughter and partner stayed in the Holly s barn one bedroom and also agreed how lovely everything was. Rachel the owner is very helpful if you need anything. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Hi. The only one comment I would make."
When the sun is coming through the glass doors in the kitchen/lounge area the voiles aren't strong enough to keep the sun out. So it becomes hard to sit in there. I though there may be some blinds fixed within the doors. The rest of the accommodation was amazing, so thank you!!!
Thank you for your feedback, we would like to advise that this is the first time we have had a complaint about the voiles and have in fact had positive compliments from previous guests during the summer advising that they kept the sun out. Property Owner
-
"We had an absolutely lovely stay here."
The property was super clean and stocked with everything you could need. The garden was great for our dog, who loved to watch the birds and cows from a safe enclosed place. The beds were comfy and the log burner was a real cosy treat. Would definitely recommend!
-
"Brilliant place to stay."
The hosts rachael and paul were very helpful, had lots of information on hand to support with our stay! Thank you both!
-
"Amazing property, had such a lovely weekend, Owners were really helpful, lovely welcome."
Amazing hot tub. Squeegy instead of sponge mop for shower.
-
"We was greeted by our wonderful hosts who showed us around and told us everything we needed to know and congratulated us on our recent wedding."
The cottage was beautiful and super clean. I had the best nights sleep id had in a long time and swear the bed and pillows are made of actual clouds. We will definitely be back.
-
"Great little place, thanks so much."
Lovely little extra touch of the bottle of fizz on ice for our arrival. We found a great walk at Downs Banks to take the dog, each day we went a different route and it was brilliant - just a short 10/15 min drive from the property. A small suggestion - we got lucky with the weather and it was very warm. A fan or two would be a great addition to the facilities. As it’s south facing and we get the sun all day, the addition of a parasol outdoors to provide some shade for us but also our four legged friend would be hugely beneficial. Thanks again!
-
"Such a lovely place to stay, we didn’t want to leave and we would definitely go back."
The accommodation is so tasteful and comfortable, and the hot tub is amazing. As a family we include a 5 and 6 year old, and a larger dog who all also loved the garden. The owners are close by, helpful if needed, but were very respectful of privacy. They knew our dog could bark when seeing another dog so kept the lovely Ted (black lab) away. The local pub is a fun footpath away and it was also easy to travel to lots of places of interest, and stock up at a supermarket. Really can’t recommend enough
-
"We had a lovely time at Saddles, and we would not hesitate to return."
We didn’t know before we booked that the property is next door to the owners and normally this may have put us off however please don’t let it, they were lovely, very knowledgeable about the local area and where to walk our dogs, we only really saw them when they checked the hot tub, which by the way is one of the best and well kept we’ve used. It is very private and we returned totally relaxed. The interior of the accommodation is very luxurious and the beds are the comfiest we’ve stayed in. Thank you for a wonderful week and as I’ve said we would love to return at some point.
-
"Lovely venue, it gave enough privacy and was rural enough without being too far from everything."
The hosts (Rachael and Paul) were wonderful and friendly too and were extremely accommodating.
-
"Sadlers is a lovely holiday venue."
The accommodation is high quality with everything you need and Rachael and Paul are on hand if needed. The area is quiet and tranquil, which suited us well. But there is plenty to do if you are happy to jump in the car. The National Abroretum, Trentham Gardens and Alton Towers are easily accessible and all worth a visit. Definately recommend this lovely hideaway.
-
"It’s a really lovely place in a lovely setting."
The couple that own it are lovely.Can highly recommend!
-
"The cottage is finished to a very high standard."
There is everything you would need for your stay. The enclosed garden was brilliant for the dog and the views are lovely. The local village is a short walk away and would highly recommend The Shoulder of Mutton at Fulford. They do amazing meals and all the people in the village are very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend.
-
"The view was amazing, the hot tub was amazing, and the hosts were so friendly and helpful."
-
"If you have dogs and want somewhere to go away look no further."
Large fully enclosed garden our whippet and greyhound had lots of room to run around in. Gives complete reassurance that you don’t have to worry about letting your dogs out like at some places that isn’t enclosed. The barn is lovely to stay at. You’re roughly about 40-50 yards away from owners property but they are lovey and give you all the privacy you need. Literally everything you will need to stay there has been provided. Beyond amazed at home much stuff was there. We brought too much but always better to be prepared. Slight ongoing issue with WiFi (Sykes hadn’t updated advert correctly for mobile viewing) and the roof is a metal roof so you don’t get any mobile signal once inside. So if you are like us and watch everything through Netflix/Amazon/Disney etc download things first. Once this issues has been sorted(nothing to do with the owners all down to stupid BT) it’s literally the perfect place to stay. Stone is a short drive away and has plenty to offer. A+ place
