Lovely place but beware of damp issue!
The only issues I had was the tv stopped working, there was no signal. This didnt bother me at all but the overall damp issue did bother me and was overpowering, unfortunately. I, too, live in a very old building but there is no damp or musty smell. I agee with previous reviewers in that the damp is an issue which causes health issues during stay and needs to be resolved.

I booked this for my daughter and her partner as part of a surprise birthday trip after they have worked all through lockdown, he took a video and the cottage looked amazing and really inviting, it’s spotless and really comfortable, fair to say they didn’t want to come home. Thank you for making their weekend complete.

Very well equipped property, peaceful and handy. The only negative is the parking, we had to sit and wait ages for a space and didn’t feel 100% about leaving it on a cut through car park overnight but can appreciate there is not much space in town.

Perfect Location and Cottage for Alton Towers Visit
Practically fully equipped and lovely cottage perfectly hidden away in the centre of Cheadle. Me and the Mrs had an absolute blast and the cottage was perfect for a well deserved time away for us both after 17 months of the COVID pandemic. Would recommend for a quiet romantic break away or a gallivant to Alton Towers.

Lovely property with everything needed inside. The only thing we found not very clear was where the property was and we had to ring to find out.

Very cosy and clean cottage!! However shower was very poor, & we struggled to find it as no sign
Really lovely place to stay and would defiantly recommend and come back. But I think the shower needed looking at, as it kept going from freezing to boiling hot back to freezing and took about 10 mins of it running to work. We loved the little fire in the front room and the cottage was lovely and warm all the time. Great place to stay if you’re off to Alton Towers. However the cottage could do with having a sign/label to stay where it is or at least say what colour gate it is in the description as we walked to the very end of the ally trying to find it. Thank you!!

Dear Chloe, Thank you for your input. I and my cleaner have checked the the shower and could not find anything wrong with it. It clearly states in the directions to go up the alley a short way and the cottage is behind a the black wrought iron gate which is on the left. You never mentioned any of this in comments to me when I asked you if you were happy with everything. Best wishes Joanne

Aptly named Hidden Cottage is great!
The cottage is beautifully renovated, and furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Cheadle (Staffs) is ideally situated for visiting local places of interest, and walks.

A gem in the centre of Cheadle
A well-equipped, beautifully decorated one bedroom cottage, hidden in the centre of Cheadle. The bed is comfortable and the lounge is cosy. The gorgeous walled garden at the back would be a great coffee spot in summer.

Gemütlicher Aufenthalt in Cheadle
Von der nicht so schönen Stadt und dem Zugang zum Grundstück etwas geschockt, waren wir vom Ferienhaus sehr positiv überrascht. Wir haben es sehr genossen dort zu wohnen. Auch der sehr kurze Weg vom Parkplatz war kein Problem. Supermarkt in der Nähe und die Lage der Stadt waren für uns auch sehr wichtig. Insgesamt sehr schön. Nun noch einmal zur schwarzen Grundstückseingangstür, die so schlimm klemmt, dass alle in der Umgebung merken (hören), wenn man ankommt. Mit einem Schraubenschlüssel oder einer Rohrzange lässt sich die schiefe Stellung der Tür in 1 Minute korregieren.

Hidden cottage is a gem
Hidden Cottage is a gem very aptly named as it's hidden behind the shops on the High Street Cheadle and can only be accessed up a small laneway between shops. Very tastefully decorated and a delight to be in. Everything you need is supplied. Completely private. Perfect retreat for two wanting a relaxing time away from home.

Charming and comfortable hideaway
We had a lovely two nights here. The cottage is beautifully decorated and so well equipped. It was too cold to use the garden much but it was lovely not being overlooked from any direction. We had a fab stay and hope to come back in the future!

Hidden Cottage is a lovely place
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hidden Cottage in Cheadle. The cottage contained everything that we needed, except maybe a washer/dryer. It was well laid out, clean and very welcoming. Cheadle is also very central to a number of locations. We visited Northern Wales, Liverpool, the football at Stoke-on-Trent, Lyme Park, Chatsworth House to name a few spots. I would thoroughly recommend it to others.

Wonderful Hideaway
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Joanne had left essentials so we didn't have to go shopping after our long drive. She even left us treats. The property was well equipped for home from home living. It was clean, tidy and immaculately decorated to a high standard. The location was surprising as only a few steps to Cheadle High Street but the cottage was a haven of peace and quiet.

Fantastic little place!
At first trying to find this property we were a bit dubious going down a little lane but when we opened the black iron gate, my god, it was stunning! Beautiful landscaping in a small space. On entering, it was spotlessly clean, very cosy and inviting. Joanne let us go in a bit earlier which was so good of her. She called to make sure everything was OK. The cottage itself basically has everything you could need for your stay. I absolutely loved the decor and all the quirky pieces of furniture. Before we even left we said we wanted to go back next time we are in the area. We travelled to Cheadle for my birthday and to visit Alton towers theme park which was only a 10-15 minute drive away. If you are looking for somewhere nice and private for 2 in this area then book this place now, you won't be disappointed!

Right in the middle of Cheadle and quiet and private at the same time
Behind the black iron door there is a lovely well equipped cottage. The best thing is that it is right in the middle of Cheadle and at the same time a quite retreat, the best of both. We are not the absolute nature lovers, but made trips tot Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. Close enough for a days visit. But we explored the Peak district as well. We did Buxton and Ashbourne and Leek too. We find the cottage very cosy. We didn’t miss a thing. Everything was there, including good Wifi.
