So peaceful all around, cows out the kitchen window and horses out of living room window, our little girl loved this! So clean, bed sheets smelt lovely and beds were comfortable. Property has 2 bathrooms which was great for us! Beautiful views, the property is even better than the listing, we were so happy when we arrived! Living room very cosy with fairy lights, cottage was lovely and warm and having a washing machine was brilliant too! We stayed here to go to Alton towers, which is about 30 minutes away. Sainsbury’s and Aldi nearby and a nice chippy 10 minutes down the road. We would stay here again!
This was our 3rd stay at the Dairy Cottage which never fails to impress! We always stay for New Year's providing a lovely escape from the City, with it's cosy rustic interior and lovely walks on the doorstep. The Cottage is very well equipped, a proper home from home. Clare and her family are so welcoming and accommodating, cannot speak highly enough of them Looking forward to the 4th visit!
We loved our stay here. Beautifully presented, warm and cosy. Very generous living space upstairs, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds.
Excellent communication from the host. Great location.

The property was a beautifully converted milking parlour, with lots of decor reflecting its previous incarnation. Surrounded by gorgeous countryside with a lovely view from the sitting room. The furnishings were comfortable and kitchen well equipped, though could do with more mugs and glasses.
My young family (and our dog) loved our stay at this beautiful cottage. It was really spacious for a family of four (+dog), yet also full of character.
The enclosed outside space was huge, and our Hungarian Vizsla dog loved running around the garden and horse paddock.
It's a great spot from which to explore too - we went on lots of lovely countryside walks from our doorstep.
We had a wonderful stay!
I had a long weekend stay visiting family in the area. The Dairy was a delightful base to stay - deep in the countryside as part of a group of farm properties with cattle and horses in the nearby fields. Being fairly high up there are wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and it is very quiet and peaceful.
The Dairy had everything I needed of a good standard. Clare was very helpful and responded quickly to all communications. I really enjoyed my stay at the Dairy and recommend it for a solo or small group stay.
This hcottage is absolutely beautiful. It is likehome for home. Everything u need is there. The place is very clean and spacious. Beautiful views. Our dog loved the garden area. The horses and cow's around was lovely . There so friendly. Clare the owner was lovely and welcoming and gave plenty of information
This is a fantastic property, we thought slightly undersold in the listing if anything! The view from the lounge window was stunning, and the quality of the finishes overall was really good and made for a comfortable stay. We hadn't seen that there was an ensuite bathroom so that was a bonus. Little touches like the fairy lights, great kitchen equipment and washing machine were great. The fit of the skirting boards against the dishwasher meant this couldn't properly be opened, so we didn't use it - but this didn't detract from our stay.
Beautiful cottage with an amazing view from living room window. Right out in the sticks and perfect for walkers. We were visiting old family haunts in Endon and Stanley Moss so location was perfect.
This was our 2nd stay here, its a lovely cottage spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The secure outside area for our doggies is ideal.We will definitely return for another visit.
Stunning in every way. Beautiful property, spotless throughout. Stylish and creative layout and decor. The hosts were beyond lovely and the views were ridiculous (in a VERY good way). Faultless to be honest. THE BAR HAS BEEN RAISED. We will return. X
Perfect ,short brake with family,beautiful cottage with breathtaking views.House was very well maintained , equipped and
very clean.This place is perfect when you need to get away from busy every day life as is situated in beautiful countryside.We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely recommend.
The diary is an absolutely stunning property with everything you could possibly need, the photos do not do the dairy justice, we had a problem with the dvd not working I popped over to Claire she came to have a look, and it seemed it had broken, she got a new one for us the next day, the dairy was also decorated for Christmas which was lovely.
The bed was also so comfy and view from the window was just beautiful. I would definitely recommend the dairy the heating system kept us lovely and warm as well
Thank you Claire
Once again I cannot fault anything about this holiday let! It is truly beautiful and worth every penny and Clare is a wonderful host/ person! Thank you for having us again! Definitely will be coming back!
Very comfortable and well finished, with everything you need on hand.
Bed comfortable and very peaceful location. We used it as a base to visit family in the area and it was great. If you're not used to narrow lanes beware! fortunately we knew the area well but the roads could be challenging in bad weather.

Close to wedding venue
Chose this property as it was close to a local wedding venue. Set in a beautiful location with idyllic views of the Staffordshire countryside, this is the property’s biggest selling point. The cottage served our needs (4 adults) but we did encounter a number of issues. The cottage was extremely hot (it was a very hot weekend) and we found it difficult to sleep as the bedroom windows did not open. There were a lot of flies in the property, this was probably due to the nearby cowsheds. The TV in the main bedroom did not work. The biggest issue is the bathrooms, the showers had either freezing cold or scalding hot water, it was impossible to get a suitable mix of both which
is unacceptable. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds contained only 1 pillow per person with no spares on offer. Overall, for the price the property was OK, but we did feel disappointed and would not return.
The Dairy Cottage was perfect! Impeccably clean, super layout. Clare the owner is lovely and very communicative despite not getting to meet her! Could not ask for any more…thanks to Clare!
The perfect quiet getaway. Clare was a wonderful host & answered any queries promptly. The cottage itself is in a lovely area surrounded by countryside. Cows & horses out of every living area window. Easy reach of some lovely family friendly walks. Many thanks
Had a brilliant weekend - Clare was the perfect hostess without being intrusive. Cottage was extremely clean and comfortable, and the weather made it a truly relaxing mini break
