Fabulous cottage tucked away in the moors

Stayed here to visit family in both Stoke on Trent and Bolton and this was roughly in between. Had a wonderful peaceful time here and wished we could have stayed longer. Hope to go back again sometime.

Breathtaking loc

My 7yo and I stayed at the property, there was plenty of room for us and could easily accommodate a family of 4. I’ll definitely be taking my wife back there for a weekend just the 2 of us. The location is stunning. Thank you Jo.

lovely cottage

This is an excellent cottage, located very conveniently to Buxton and Leek and Jo is a wonderful host - cozy and comfortable rooms, warm and a very friendly host. We loved our stay and highly recommend it - on top of all this, the view is to die for!

Superb Cottage

We had a fabulous stay at Ridgehead. Warm welcome and despite a slight hiccup, which was soon remedied, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Can't wait to go back.

Wonderful

The cottage is gorgeous with amazing views. The host is lovely and communication was really good. The cottage has everything we needed and we enjoyed sitting outside taking in the views and inside when it got chilly where it was cosy and warm.

Beautiful cottage and location

Very clean and comfortable cottage in peaceful location with beautiful views. The photos on the listing do not do the cottage justice! Jo was a lovely host, friendly but not overbearing. Our 2 year old loved watching the horses, sheep and chickens. We will definitely be back.

The perfect retreat

The cottage is cosy, comfortable and easy to live in. The location is beautiful and secluded with a lovely little village only a few minutes drive away. Plenty of things to do within a few miles drive and lots of walking. Jo, the host, is welcoming and very helpful. We were 3 friends catching up and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay although the weather was very windy and we had rain and snow showers so couldn’t make the most of the outdoor space. We would definitely recommend the cottage and the area and we hope to go back again for more fun times.

Peaceful long weekend away

We've been here before and enjoyed it so much we have returned and we're about to make our next booking. It is so peaceful here, the views are lovely (even with the fog!) The cottage is warm, cosy and comfortable. There is everything we needed and many things we didn't think about but appreciated having such as washing powder to use after our muddy walks. We'd definitely recommend Lud's Church as a walk, but get there early as the carpark is small and it is VERY popular. A big bonus for us is that it is dog and child friendly with and ENCLOSED garden and a lovely pond walk straight out the front door.

Great place to get away from it all

We set out to have a relaxing/restful week, which we achieved. The weather meant that staying in for some of the time was the best option and the cottage was comfortable. A car is a must here as the nearest village shop is a few miles away by busy road with no footpaths. With this in mind, a small piece of feedback would be to provide some provisions including bread with the welcome pack. Jo and Colin were great hosts and we would recommend a stay here. (Good news for owners of electric cars - they are having a charging point installed soon - so there will be no need to worry about where to charge after a long journey to get there).

This is a really beautiful cottage conversion that was originally done a while back but has been updated over the years. It's extremely quiet, very comfortable, very well-equipped (particularly the kitchen - we cooked a full recipe box meal with no problems) and a lovely place to spend time. A basket with some chocolate biscuits and wine was extremely welcome! The location is very rural - this is a farm on the ridge of the hills in the Peak District and so it's always windy and often a bit misty in the mornings as it's so high up. But when it clears, the views are wonderful and it's so peaceful! It was very helpful to be able to charge our EV (electric vehicle) here too and at a very fair cost. There were only a couple of things which could have been a bit better - a bit of time with a feather duster would go a long way, as there was a lot of dust on windowsills, cobwebs in the ceilings, dust collected in the corners of the floor and so on (even by barn conversion standards) but all the important bits were really clean. Also be aware - despite Vrbo saying that Wifi is free throughout, the owners ask people not to stream video because of it being limited each month on a satellite contract, and they even simply turn it off some evenings completely! I do have some sympathy but for a high-end luxury getaway, I don't really feel this is good enough. Mobile reception is excellent, so the owners could look at cellular broadband for wifi. But maybe a digital detox is good anyway!

Perfect stay at Curlew Cottage

Thank you again for providing such a fantastic base for our holiday. Curlew Cottage was equipped with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the en-suite was a bonus. The location was stunning with a wonderful view to enjoy from the lovely garden. Betty the Cockapoo had a great time, getting to know the other animals, though I think she might have been disappointed that Jack, the sheep, wouldn't chase her. She enjoyed meeting them all. We definitely plan to return hopefully for a longer stay next time.

A cottage with a view

I loved it here. Jo is very friendly and welcoming, she ensures you have everything required and nothing is too much for her. The cottage is well equipped with a WC, main bathroom, and an en-suite shower room. WiFi, and a fully functional kitchen with a full size fridge/freezer, and a skinny dishwasher. There is also an electric car charger, but we didn’t use it and not sure if it is part of the package. The beds were a bit too hard for us, but that’s a personal preference because we have back problems, there’s nothing actually wrong with them. The place needs a bit of updating here and there as expected from a cottage that’s 35 years old, but it is clean, and to me that’s the most important. I would definitely stay here again because it is such a peaceful place to stay that is still close to amenities.

Christmas stay

Lovely place to stay in a rural setting. The cottage was cosy and warm, and had everything we needed. The only downside was no wifi, but we had a good phone connection so managed with our hotspot. Jo & Clive were great hosts alwsys available and helpful. It is ideally situated for walk, Buxton, Leek and other peak park towns. Would definitely book it again.
