Great Property, Idyllic Location

This is a great cottage for a family stay with all the amenities you would need from a country location. Lots of nice walks nearby and on top of the Peak District! We took out Dog too (German Shepherd) and it was perfect for him also.

Great property, lovely location and surroundings

We rented this property for a family holiday with 8 adults, the property is spacious, clean and is set in beautiful surroundings. 5 bedrooms (3 double, 2 single) and 3 bathrooms all with showers made this property perfect for our big group. Perfect location for exploring leek, stoke and surrounding areas.

A perfect break!

This is a lovely cottage set away from it all but near enough to visit local attractions. The bedding and furniture were clean and the facilities were all we needed. Two adults and five children had an amazing fun time and there was plenty of room for more. I highly recommend a stay.

Just returned from a fantastic Mon-Fri stay at the cottage. Stunning setting and well looked after.

We were two families of four with young children and it was perfect. Peak District on the doorstep and some beautiful locations within an hours drive. The cottage is stunning inside and has everything you need for your stay. The neighbours who assist in running the property were very friendly and helpful on arrival. We would definitely return.

Beautiful property, perfect for two families with young children

Lovely place, feels really nice and remote, but only 15/30 mins from lots of really great activities. Loved the roaches for bouldering, tittesworth reservoir and dimensions swimming pool. Emma and Matt looked after us well too! We’ll be back I’m sure!

Fantastic location for family getaway

Brilliant location for a few walks to the Rudyard reservoir, weather held out too. Two families staying over half term, with lots of space for the kids, plenty of outdoors and fresh air. Hosts ensured there was enough towels and bedding. Drying /coat room was great with the kids, meant there was no muddy boots in the house. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils/dishwasher/washing machine. Great stay would definitely love to return.

What a great holiday.....

Just spent 7 days at the lovely Croft Meadows Farm...Just great... It really was home from home! Super clean, children friendly, very well equipped, quiet, and views as far as you can see. We have already booked for autumn with our 2 dogs as the walking is perfect as is the cycling. Thanks for the great welcome see you in October. James and Ilona

Great country getaway house

Loved the property which everybody agreed had been renovated to a high standard. Matt and Emma were friendly and helpful hosts in every way. Would highly recommend it to anyone like e arranging a family retreat/reunion needing five bedrooms. One constructive suggestion: Needs a sigpost on the last turnoff to the farm as most people (including me on several occasions) missed it completely.

Loved our time at Croft Meadows

This home was such a neat home—the dirt track, the hill, Emma and Matt (and their boy and dog) the Peak District—it was all fantastic and we loved our time there. The house was fun and historic, spacious for a large family of 8. The kids loved the area and the fields and cows. We would totally visit again if there is another time in the area. Emma and Matt were the perfect hosts for our time. Thank you.

Excellent as always

This is the third time we have stayed at Croft Meadows Farm and this time was the best yet. There has been quite a bit of investment in the property since we were last here with new bathrooms and a new boiler. Emma and Matt look after the property and the guests cannot do enough to make sure your stay is enjoyable and to make sure you have everything you need. There was 4 adults, 3 kids and a teenager in our group and there was plenty of space for us all. The garden is a lovely place to sit and relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine depending on the time of day. A car is essential as it is very rural and situated down a long track, however this does make it extremely peaceful and a wonderful place to switch off. We will be back!

Beautiful country retreat.

We spent a long weekend for a family reunion just before Christmas at Croft Meadows. The house is spacious, with a very large qns comfortable open plan living/dining room with lots of different sitting spaces - perfect for a large group. The heating was a total godsend given the freezing weather outside: even my 87 year old Dad felt toasty! The cottage is very well equipped for cooking and baking too, making catering for a large group easy. Our hosts (Emma and Matt) were brilliant. Lovely, welcoming and so laid back but super efficient. The setting is idyllic with easy walks out (even in the snow!) through stunning scenery. A perfect stay and would definitely come back and recommend to others.
