Robin's Rest Reviews

Maggie
Excellent property. Beautifully finished and exceptionally clean. Everything thought of for a relaxing time. Fabulous welcome pack.
Stayed at this property numerous times. Hosts are friendly and welcoming. Cottage is clean, comfortable and very relaxing. Added touches to stay regarding welcome food package are a bonus. Local facilities only a few minutes away. Hottub is clean and well maintained. Highly recommend.
Rachael
We had such a wonderful time, thank you. I was surprised it had been open for a year with how well it's been maintained, it's a beautiful place to stay and the goats just brightened up our morning every day.
What a great early 2024 break. Very thoughtful welcome items provided including Prosecco, crisps, chocs, milk, cheese plus extra towels for hot tub. Cottage location was good with easy access to Trentham Gardens which is well worth a visit. The cottage really was lovely and nice and warm with under floor heating nice shower in wet room Just a couple of thoughts to put the cherry on the top not criticisms at all and relatively minor as it was raining during our stay it would be good to have a plastic box of some sort near hot tub to pop phones in etc. Also more drying facilities for hot tub towels and costumes we used it a lot lol
Raymond
Just needs a clothes rail to be perfect. The cleanliness and general finish show the owners love their work. Well done to all the team there.
Thomas
Fantastic place, immaculately clean with a wonderful welcome hamper and fresh eggs! Underfloor heating throughout kept us nice and toasty, as did the spotless hot tub. Will be recommending to friends and family and will certainly be back in the future!
The cottage was fantastic, in pristine condition, tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard, everything and more was provided. The welcome hamper was very much appreciated, all in all it made for an outstanding weekend break for my partner and I. would highly recommend this cottage to friends and family.
Beautiful and peaceful
Beautiful property. Our second stay and already looking forward to our next one.So relaxing and peaceful.touches such as the welcome treats and immaculate hot tub are an added bonus.
Carrie Ann
The property was immaculate on arrival, the hot tub clean and heated ready to use. Very welcoming owners. Lovley welcome basket made up on arrival. Would definitely look at coming again.
Jonathan
Perhaps it could do with a clothes horse for indoor drying. It was quite wet last week and we washed stuff daily. Perhaps include instructions for operating the microwave too. I use a different type and couldnt work it out. Other than that a great property and excellent value for money.
Bettina
This was my 4th stay this year. Warm welcome excellent welcome pack. Everything you could need. Hot tub is amazing. Back in 4 weeks for my birthday. Highly recommended. Saw a dragonfly on this visit. TDC
Darren
Was a lovely barn conversion done to a high standard everything was first class . watching the goats while you have a soak in hot tub is worth the stay everything was so nice and clean .loved the freebies hosts couldn't do enough for you will definitely be going back

Jordan
We had an amazing stay at Robins rest, we haven't stopped telling everyone we speak to about. Honestly couldn't fault the place. It is in a beautiful location, the accommodation was stunning and the little extras just topped it off. Hot tub was amazing, even when we had rubbish weather. We will definitely be coming back
Always clean and comfortable. Lovely added touches as in food and snacks left for visitors. Warm and friendly hosts always happy to help.
Bettina
My 3rd stay at this amazing place. Booked again 5 times at one place puts it as my no.1 place to stay. Hosts are wonderful. Hottub is awesome. Highly recommended And the 2 bedroom is just as its described.
The property was immaculate! Absolutely stunning and perfect for a couple. Lovely to have a view of the goats. Had a lovely selection of treats and prosecco upon arrival and the owners were very attentive and personable. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely cottage, Very homely with the added extras such as fresh eggs. Very clean and modern the only downfall would possibly be the shower as it was all flat drainage sometimes took a while and there was no where to hang stuff so a wardrobe would perhaps be a good purchase.
Stephen
Lovely cottage on a working farm welcome food parcel on arrival hot tub was a ... Lovely cottage on a working farm welcome food parcel on arrival hot tub was a must after a days walking in the hills will definitely return again highly recommend thanks for a great stay
We have had a lovely 3 nights stay at Robins rest! The treats on arrival were delightful, thank you!! Our daughter loved seeing the goats every morning and night, I think she would have brought them home if she could! The cottage was spotless and had everything it needed, cot and high chair was provided for us and already in the cottage on arrival. The only thing we would to say improve on would be the bbq, it wasnt the cleanest so we didnt really want to use it BUT this wouldnt stop us from returning for another stay at Robins rest..only this time child free!!
Beautiful cottage . Extremely well equipped with thought given to every need. The hot tub is so relaxing all while enjoying the comedic antics of the goats in the compound over the fence.we would highly recommend this to everyone and are already looking forward to our next visit.
Bettina
This was my 2nd stay this year. And back again in September. I cannot fault it. This is my number one out of my local holidays. The hot tub is amazing. I am now ticking off the days to my next visit.
Claire
Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away at Robins rest. The best welcome pack we have ever experienced! Extremely clean, hot tub in a perfect sun spot. Goats are very entertaining. Family are very welcoming and polite. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Cheryl
Stayed in robins rest for 2 nights with my husband to celebrate our 20 year anniversary and we had such a lovely time. The cottage is decorated to a very high finish and feels very luxurious. The goats out back are a dream to wake up to and the hot tub was spotlessly clean and very well maintained. I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone x x
We had a lovely stay. It was an Escape from the city after our daughters wedding. Just what we needed. Initially there was a problem with the heating but happily it got sorted. No marks deducted. As it was fixed the next day. Lovely & warm the rest of our hols.
Everything fantastic, just one suggestion, could do with a wardrobe or rail to hang clothes.
Debbie
Everything was amazing. The owners have thought of everything a guest might want, from a fabulous welcome pack to hooks for your hot tub towels. Wet room is stunning and garden with hot tub and view of the goats is so relaxing. I'd go back in a flash!
Bettina
Wow wow wow. What an absolutely gorgeous property. Hot tub in the rain is awesome i wanted snow i was in n out the hot tub! The bed was way too comfy 11am lie in. The senor light in the wet room who thought of that thank you. The goodies were lovely. Esp the eggs. But the main thing as a foodie is the Quality kichen equipment I love cooking you have knocked my favourite cheshire place down to second. I'm planning my next holiday maybe two or three. Safe parking is a must where I stay. The alarm never went off. When it was raining I put my mobile in a zip lock bag and got in the hot tub..Best holiday ever. Clare and Phil you have the best cottage ever. Recommended too a few good friends. See you again. 1010 Very clean x
Lovely property and owners. Nice extra touches added to your stay with food and milk in the fridge. Peaceful and relaxing.

Thomas
Amazing place for us to spend Christmas
Rebecca
Absolutely lovely property in a really good location with lots to do around. Only stayed for 3 nights but was incredible. Was exactly as described, beautiful hot tub and had some treats on arrival such as chocolates, crisps and some oatcakes too. Lovely hosts who are there to answer and questions you may have. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again in the future.
Was an excellent place to stay,comfortable, clean and great little touches like the goodies left when you arrive. Bed was comfortable and noise was minimal. Hot tub was great and well maintained Only downsides I would say is it was quite difficult to find as sat nav dosent puck it up,a helpful sign on the road would help alot,also hot tub could do with a cover over it.thats why only 4 stars,but apart from that would definitely recommend.
Could not fault this place in any way what so ever! After a long drive we arrived to a beautiful, clean and warm property with a lovely welcome hamper and essentials. The hot tub just made it feel that extra bit special and the best bit was waking up in the morning to see the little goats. We will definitely be coming back and will be looking for any excuse to travel up that way again. Thank you so much.
We had a lovely stay, the accommodation was very modern and everywhere was spotless. We couldn't fault our stay here and the welcome basket, Netflix on the TV and goats to fuss every day made this one of if not the best places we have stopped at.
Charley
The cottage was amazing, so clean and modern! We had everything we needed for a week! Hot tub was massive and location was perfect!! Thank you
Helena
Wonderful! Excellent welcome pack, so clean and tidy and very well equipped. Peaceful location.
Robins Rest is a beautiful holiday home that has been finished to an excellent standard. My wife and I have stayed in lots of cottages and lodges throughout the UK, we have high standards and expectations and found Robins Rest to be amongst the best weve stayed in. The location is perfect for visiting both the Peak District and the various potteries in the Staffordshire area. As a keen runner I found the various lanes south south west of the cottage to be quiet and ideal for my morning runs. We have recommended Robins Rest to family and friends and hope to return when next staying in the area.
What a gem. The most beautiful cottage I have stayed in. The welcome basked was amazing. The family that live on the farm are lovley. I wanted a few days of peace and this farm didn't fail to give me just that. Wish I could have stayed longer. Next time I will book for longer. The only Word's that sum up this place is awesome. Thank you xx
