HollyDale Reviews

A big thankyou we had a wonderful stay in this amazing cottage the games room , hot tub and sauna were used by all even though the weather wasn't the best we had a lovely week with all the family.

Just an amazing place warm, welcoming and very well equipped. Having the hot tub already heated for our arrival was perfect we wasted no time in enjoying the outside space in the middle of winter! Games room is a nice touch. All of the bedrooms are spacious and the bathrooms are really lovely. Simply couldn't fault the place.

Hollydale is just beautiful in every area. We couldnt of asked for anymore. Everything has been thought of to make it just so special. The owners were very friendly and super heloful. The cottage was well equipt, clean and we felt very at home. The hot tub, sauna and games room were great and everything was there to make packing so easy towels, gowns etc I was super impressed the owners even provided towels, sofa throws and treats for dogs. It was a beautiful cottage where we had a fantastic Christmas. Five star place

Beautiful cottage with great facilities for multigenerational groups. Extremely well maintained.

Wonderful place! Everything has been done to ensure you have all you need for a brilliant stay. Games room has something for all the family, snooker, table tennis, darts, karaoke, books. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spotless as is everywhere in the cottage. What a lovely find! Thank you!

Nicola

Beautiful cottage, very well equipped. Lots of useful things like built in stairs gates. Lovely owners, extremely helpful people.

Property was AMAZING! clean, well maintained, great views with all the little luxuries you could want. Hot tub on an evening looking over fields and hills after a day of walking the dog or one of the trails close by. Theres a lake less than 15 mins away with activities like kayaking and paddle boarding, and quaint villages all around to explore. For the kids and the grown up kids there is karaoke, pool, table tennis, darts, and a retro arcade games console. Perhaps you fancy a bbq one evening and sit in the pagoda for a family meal? Maybe you fancy a saunago for it! Close to Alton towers should you want a visit there too. Lots of field space for football, tennis, badminton, frisbee right on your door step. The stay here is worth every penny in my opinion and the owner is super lovely who goes all out to make sure your stay also has the personal touch! I cant recommend this place enough!

Carmel

We were a group of 7 adults and Hollydale exceeded all our expectations. From the well equipped kitchenutility room to the most comfy beds and powerful showers and every room was spacious and immaculate. It was the perfect place to spend some quality family time, like a home from home. The outdoor heated seating area was so cosy whilst we sat out late into the evening and then the heated games barn which everyone loved! The setting is also beautiful with the views of the countryside from every angle and yet a short drive to some great walks and pubs. This is one of the best places that we have stayed in this country.

Pamela

Hollydale is exceptional for a holiday break for 8 people. It is in a peaceful location but so near so many wonderful attractions that there is not enough time in 7 days to explore everything. We had a fabulous time and fully recommend it.

Phillip

Could not fault the property . Every detail was to the highest standard , and every possible requirement thought of . Except to get some more supplies , there was not need to leave the property for the 3 days we were there . This is by far the best rental property we have stayed at. For take away we would recommend the Chinse Gourmet , who deliver to HollyDale Cottage

Katherine

Host was lovely the house was ready earlier so we were able to get in before planned. Place is great, met all our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend to others. Location is also beautiful, views from the hot tub are outstanding, close enough to amenities to pop out in the car if you forget something for breakfast etc. Everything is so well thought out inc towels and robes for the hot tub

Just beautiful everything was perfect. X

Rebecca

Everything was perfect, and the owners were incredibly helpful.

Hollydale is just stunning. The views and location are wonderful and the property and everything within could not be faulted. It is very well equipped and the small touches are just fab. Our family of 8 had a wonderful time and we definitely want to return.

Our second time with 8 adults and a dog. We all love it here at Hollydale. The facilities are brilliant and the house is really well equiped. We spent most of our time playing games eating and enjoying the hot tub

Stacey

Stayed at HollyDale with family for my dad's 60th. 6 adults and 2 dogs. The house and grounds where amazing. Everything has been thought. We enjoyed the games room and hot tub daily and the outdoor sitting area is heated so we even got to enjoy it in all weather with the lovely views Couldn't fault the property or the owners and didn't want to come home. What an amazing week

Comfortable country living. From the moment you arrive you feel immersed in the countryside, surrounded by space and scenery. All weather outdoor facilities supplement the comfortable interior. Ample space and everything you need for a relaxing break. Decoration is bright and cheerful, a welcome change from the cream and green of some properties. A quiet location but only a short journey to shops, walks and attractions. Host very friendly, meals fantastic.

Carolyn

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at HollyDale. The house was beautiful and the views were gorgeous. We made good use of the sauna, hot tub and games room. We were grateful for the cot, high chair and stair gates and for the dog bowls, towels and cover. Our multigenerational family and dog had a great holiday thank you.

This truly is the property that has it all, we wanted for nothing. The family had a wonderful week and so many things to do and lovely places to visit almost on the doorstep. When the weather wasnt so kind we were more than happy to spend the day at Hollydale and were not short of things to keep us entertained. I could not fault this holiday accommodation and the owners were lovely too. Will look forward to a return visit in the future.

Great place to stay, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Good location, just 3 miles for Leek, so convenient to pop to the shops to stock up when we arrived, but at the same time never too far from all the Peaks has to offer.
