"Beautiful cottage, clean and cosy."
Everything you needed available. Secure enclosed garden for a dog and you can even block off the small gap under the gate should you have a small dog eg chihuahua. Best of all is the location, it is so quiet and peaceful just the sound of the birds to listen to. Excellent place to relax and recharge your battery. Phil was very friendly and lovely to be met at the property in person and shown around. We loved it so much we have already rebooked for 2025. Can not wait to return.

"Lovely stay, perfect for a family trip to Alton Towers ."

"Had a good stay here on the way back from a long trip."
The fully secure garden was really great for the dogs. Cottage very dog friendly in genetal Very helpful owners. Only one small request, could please have some brighter light bulbs or some lamps? Would stay here again.

"Fabulous holiday property used for the third time this year."
All amenities are there and it is such a relaxed site. Phil is always there, if needed. We would highly recommend it to anyone…… and the dogs loved the fully enclosed garden.

"The property was perfect for us and our two dogs."
The garden is beautiful and secure and so very peaceful. The wi-fi was not an issue, with a very good signal. The track up to the farm.. is a farm track.. but in good order for a farm track.. and not an issue at farm track speed. We feel this property was truly a perfect find, and we will be returning.

"We very much liked the cottage and the surroundings."
Clean, quiet and all necessities were present. Unfortunately the was no phone signal in the area and no mobile internet nor was the wifi in the cottage working but of 2 nights. As much as we like it quiet we would have needed to be contactable as we had animal sitters on our place at home. And we were unable to plan next days walks. Also any instructions for the appliances and for the leaving day were not present in the cottage. Luckily we could sort the heating system so it wasn't making the loud noises at unexpected times.

"Fabulous spacious countryside cottage with all necessities."
Such a helpful owner. Great surroundings, so very peaceful. Lovely enclosed garden, ideal for the dogs. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
-
"The cottage is located on a farm which is found down a single track road and then up a farm track, so don't expect it to be easy on your suspension."
But it is worth it to find the lovely cottages with a superb view out across the rolling hillside. Horseshoe cottage is well kitted out with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Mobile phone signal is poor to being non existent, but there is some wi-fi to keep you connected to the outside world. Cheadle is only a couple of miles for takeaways and shopping. Good location to access all the Peak District has to offer. Will definitely be visiting again.

"A really lovely cottage, well equipped, comfortable and a wonderful location."
Out in the countryside, peaceful and quiet, but close to Cheadle, Leek and Stoke if you need the shops. We had a great week, so relaxing to get away from everything and wind down for a week
-
"Wonderful stay."
The owner even went above and beyond to put up Christmas decorations for us! It's peaceful, warm and the walks are fantastic. Thank you very much.

"First Class."
On a farm out in the country, only the birds singing and the moo of the cows, what else could you ask for.
-
"Lovely character cottage set in a quite location."
Great enclosed garden for your furry friends. WiFi and phone signal poor but plenty of dvds to watch. Central location for walkers and visiting Alton towers and peak district. Will definitely return.

"Gorgeous cottage , has all you need, beautiful country walks , 2 x dogs loved it , lots of space , lovely walks."
-
"A Bostinly quiet and peaceful area on a working farm."
Just the sounds of some cows going to be milked, birds singing and Bostin views .. what more could we ask for? Horse Shoe Cottage was really spacious and comfortable with a spacious kitchen, big enough for 3 people to cook at once! The bedrooms were again spacious and comfortable, the only little problem was our daughter suffers from ME and it tired her out going to the bathroom and bedroom up and down the stairs, but we had a Bostinly wonderful time. We will recommend it to all we speak to!
-
"Super cottage, handy location and exceedingly quiet."
This was our second visit and will definitely stay again ❤️
-
"A beautiful cottage in stunning countryside."
We really enjoyed our week here, the cottage is a good size with everything you could need. We couldn’t get any phone signal, but there was a weak open Wi-Fi. This just meant we kept off the electronics for a bit, did lots of walking and played cards
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Horse Shoe Cottage."
A comfortable, sensible cottage, surrounded by beautiful countryside and views. Great for dogs and there human pets. Good base for visiting the Moors, dales and for those with the urge, Alton Towers. Plenty of walking, hiking and cycle tracks within easy reach. The local owners were very helpful and very friendly. Would happily visit again.
-
"Second time we’ve stayed in this cottage and would stay again."
Lovely cottage, beautiful views. Very accommodating owners. Noisy central heating if radiators not opened full, but then for us, the cottage is too warm, great though if you like it cosy
-
"What a beautiful cottage."
It’s set in the most beautiful tranquil area. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s warm, cosy and homely with stunning scenery. The owners are lovely. And very accommodating. There were fresh flowers on the table and milk in the fridge. It’s fully furnished, with towels provided and kitchen appliances and utensils all there. We only stayed one night, however we’ve decided we will be booking again for longer. Highly recommend.x

"Nice and quiet setting; very comfortable property."
shower very good. well-equipped kitchen too. we enjoyed sunshine too so could use the nice backyard/garden maybe lighting in the lounger area needs to be brighter- not the best for reading and writing in evenings. the central hetaing quite noisy at times - but easy to get used to!
-
"A lovely cottage in beautiful area ."
My carers and I will be back. Thankyou
-
"Very nice cottage."
.lots of space, well equipped, comfortable and warm. However, the visitor book and our experience logs several instances of the boiler being vary loud. It wasn’t just the clunking but for us the real problem was really noisy reverberation of the pipes at 6.30am! The owner advised put the heating on full blast to ease the pressure but then it was red hot! Next was to leave windows open as well and that was a solution but seems very wasteful!
-
"The cottage was excellent and and so was the welcome."
It was very comfortable and very well equipped we lacked for nothing
-
"The cottage is in a lovely location, close to the Derbyshire Peaks and Dales."
Margaret, the owner, is a very friendly, helpful lady. The nearest town, Cheadle, has lots to offer in terms of facilities and sights of interest but the cottage is also within a short distance of Buxton, Matlock, Tissington and Ashbourne, all worth a visit
-
"Spacious and comfortable."
Perfect location for walking and seeing the Peak district.
-
"This cottage is lovely - the host is friendly and leaves supplies in the kitchen, such a lovely touch!"
Walks are beautiful and even though this is our 2nd visit we are back next year as there is still so much more to see... love this place!!

"A beautiful location and comfortable stay in a well equipped cottage with pretty garden."
-
"We had a lovely break at the Horse Shoe Cottage."
It’s a lovely cottage set in picturesque surroundings. Facilities were good but the Wi-fi did not work at all which was frustrating. Overall I would say the cottage is not in the luxury bracket but for the money we paid it was good value.
-
"Lovely cottage and setting."
-
"Great garden"
-
"Lovely cottage."
This cottage is two floors, very spacious rooms. The shower and bath are next to each other not shower over bath as stated. Highly recommend this cottage.
-
"The owners of the cottage put in some nice touches , such as decorating the cottage with christmas decorations over the christmas period."
Cottage was nice and warm throughout.
-
"The cottage was lovely, it had a slightly different lay out to what your website said."
It has a halogen job, a full size fridge/ freezer and a separate shower. It has plenty of kitchen utensils and was very welcoming as we were there at Christmas and they had put up a tree and decorations. It is in a lovely quiet spot and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back.
-
"For a quite retreat, an ideal setting with lovely views this cottage is ideal."
Perfect for dogs owner's come all weathers, as the floor downstairs was easy to keep clean and upstairs was comfortable and warm. Not to far to travel for shops in the Town of Cheadle and within easy walks in woodlands.
-
"My family and I had a wonderful stay at Horseshoe Cottage, which we found to be a lovely, clean, tidy, and cosy base for us to explore the surrounding area."
Everything we could possibly need had been provided, even down to instruction manuals for the kitchen appliances being left easily accessible should we have run into any problems.There were shops and pubs/restaurants within a ten minute drive of the cottage, and plenty to do to entertain our two young children within an hour's drive, including Alton Towers, Poole's Caverns, and Waterworld Stoke. I would highly recommend Horseshoe Cottage, it was the perfect countryside retreat!
-
"An absolutely brilliant cottage."
Perfectly located, full of everything you could want and a reat place to stay. I will be returning.
-
"Owners very welcoming , lovely walks and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life."
Mobile phone signal quite poor which may not suit some people.
-
"This cottage is deceptively larger than it looks from the outside, it is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need."
Lovely enclosed garden for the dogs, and plenty of walks from the farm. The only downside was, the radiator in the bathroom wasn’t working, which was a little on the chilly side as it was snowing outside, also bath sheets would be nice as towels are very small. Having said that this is a beautiful cottage and we had a lovely stay, it was very quiet, with lots of wildlife, we would love to return in the summer.
-
"A very relaxing stay, well placed to visit local towns and villages."
Secure rear garden for the dogs. Owners very friendly, home from home. Returning again very soon.
-
"Nice big cottage, perfect for families."
it is very close to Alton Towers and local shops. it is a good starting point to discover the Peak District. we will be back for sure :)
-
"People very friendly, less than 10 minutes from Alton towers by car, lovely peaceful location"
-
"We had an enjoyable stay in this nice cottage."
The positives certainly out-weighed the negatives. It would have been nice to have Wi_Fi & a Mobile phone signal, but a week without internet was not the end of the world. The bigger downside was that the guests in the twin bedroom, slept poorly, due to the constant noise created by the Boiler/Radiator. This was something previous guests had commented on in the Visitors Book. The directions to the property need updating, as the Highwayman Pub has long gone,being replaced by newish housing. All in all a great week away, & hope these comments are helpful. Regards REX CAMERON
