• "Lovely holiday cottage that was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained."

  An added 'extra' - the delightful goats at the end of the garden! They were so cute and perfect if you have children! The place was very well equipped, though perhaps could have done with a few more instructions on things, i.e how to work the blind in the second bedroom; which bin to use for the different types of rubbish etc. Then again, with the lovely, friendly owners right there, it was always easy to ask about such things! All in all, this is a holiday cottage to thoroughly recommend and would be perfect in the summer months.

• "We recently had the pleasure of staying at Pipistrelle holiday cottage, and I must say, the experience exceeded all our expectations."

  From the moment we stepped through the door, it was evident that the accommodation was outstanding. My wife and I tend to bring everything with us when traveling to holiday rentals, but at Pipistrelle, we needn't have bothered. These hosts have truly thought of everything, leaving us feeling utterly pampered. The welcome gifts were a delightful surprise, setting the tone for our stay. Moreover, the standard of the cottage itself was exceptional. In fact, I can confidently say that this cottage is the best we have ever rented. It's fully equipped with every amenity imaginable, from the luxurious underfloor heating to the convenience of TVs in both bedrooms. And let's not forget the highlight of our stay – the wonderful hot tub in the back garden, which provided the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. One aspect that particularly impressed us was the cleanliness of the cottage. It was spotless upon our arrival, a testament to the care and attention to detail of the hosts. Honestly, we struggled to find anything to criticize. If I had to nitpick, the only thing I would change is the ability to transport the entire cottage to Scotland with us. That's how much we loved it! Overall, our experience at Pipistrelle holiday cottage was nothing short of magical. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable getaway. Huge thanks to the hosts for creating such a haven of relaxation and luxury. We can't wait to return!

• "The accomodation is set in a very beautiful and serene area."

  The weather was wet most of the time that we were on our holiday so the comforts of this accommodation helped us keep warm and the facilities provided were everything we needed for a lovely holiday away from home. There were several family games left on the shelf to keep us busy in the evening too. The hot tub helped to warm up after a cold day outside. The welcome package provided by the owners was a huge bonus. How generous of the owners to go out of their way to provide numerous treats for both the grownups and the children in the family; a big thank you to them for their very warm welcome. The goats in their paddock adjoining the backyard were a pleasant sight every morning; the children loved interacting with them. We would definitely visit again.

• "Fabulous little cottage, which was warm and cosy and immaculately clean."

  With added bonus of hot tub and friendly goats in the next field. Situated in the countryside but so near plenty of attractions. i.e. Biddulph gardens NT, Buxton and Peak District, Churnet valley railway, Denby Factory ( booked tour recommended) As well as central Stoke with all its shops and potteries. The owners were nearby and very friendly and helpful if needed but didn’t intrude. Two bedrooms each with en suite facilities made this a perfect stay for two couples. Highly recommended.

• "A perfect place to relax - clean, tidy, well appointed, and quiet (these are important aspects for us)."

  The owners were available for assistance but were not intrusive. For all these reasons I would stay again in this delightful accommodation. The rural location requires your own transportation to get groceries/supplies but short trips to Tesco are always a treat for Canadians!

• "This was a carefully and lovingly converted Barn."

  The owners have clearly understood the needs of guests by providing relevant quality fixtures and fittungs. The en suites were particularly well appointed, and under-floor heating throughout kept the cottage cosy. Nowadays, we never go anywhere without a hottub! Another bonus was that both rooms were doubles, so no need to toss for the twin-bedded!!! The owners were lovely. Even with a full compliment of extended family of their own, they still invited us over for midnight fireworks at New Year.

  The hot tub was a big bonus out children loved it and was nice for us once they were ticked up in bed to relax and have a glass of champagne, generously given by the hosts along side a welcome pack which included an assortment of snacks and some eggs laid by there own chickens. The kids loved saying hello to the goats from the back garden every morning too. I recommend this to anyone, and we will definitely come back again.

• "A few welcome essentials and treats were there for us on our arrival and we were warmly greeted by the host."

  The property was spotless! Simple in design and spacious airy rooms with high ceilings! Facilities were as new with every need catered for. Lovely kitchen with quality appliances and the bathrooms with powerful hot showers! We are not normally fans of wet rooms but these were of a good design and with the underfloor heating dried floors quite quickly! The hot tub was that extra special addition which just made the stay even more fun and relaxing! Excellent location! Hidden away yet easy access to shops, pubs and restaurants. The friendly goats in the field at the back provided their own bit of entertainment! . Overall simply a lovely stay and to be recommended.
