Ley Fields Farm Reviews

One of the nicest properties we have stayed in. Perfect for a family gathering for my birthday celebrations. The kids loved it 4,7 and 8 years old, had great fun playing with the leaves in the front garden. So much space to be together but also room to spread out if a bit of quiet time needed. Every piece of kitchen equipment that one needed, loads of pots and pans and a log burner to boot! Very friendly owners if any help needed. The hot tub was very popular and a lot of time was spent in there too. Lots of places to visit nearby and even thing we visited in November even the weather was kind to us. Definately one to return too
Lisa and the team always pull out all the stops to make our stay memorable, from the general presentation of the house to the extra personal touches, welcome goodies, and coziness for our stay. We are treated like treasured members of family. Ley Fields Farmhouse is superbly placed for days out, yet ideally suited for warm nights in. The let is once again beautifully presented, with additional inclusions this year to guarantee an easy, stress free holiday air fryer and slow cooker. Yes, we have booked again for 2025!
Absolutely great property with lots of lovely little touches. The welcome pack was so thoughtful, we loved the cake! Nice to be able to chill out in the hot tub and the beds were really comfortable. We also enjoyed making friends with the cows. Overall would really recommend and would definitely stay again, 5 stars!
A lovely house, great for our group of 8. Very clean and spacious, Garden and hot tub were well used. Area is great with plenty of activities to suit our group age range from 2 to 72 . I can thoroughly recommend this holiday home you will not be disappointed

We had a wonderful family holiday at Ley Fields Farm. The farmhouse was a fantastic place for ourselves and our 2 daughters and their families. 6 adults and 3 children enjoyed the spacious, comfortable rooms and great outside garden and small field alongside the cattle field. Lisa and Robert could not have been more helpful. Thank you!
Suzanne
Great place with lots of space and character. Would definitely stay again the welcome pack with fresh orange and cake was a nice surprise and tasted delicious.
The property is beautiful and so lovingly decorated. It felt like a home away from home. It was better than we imagined and we all said we would recommend to others or be back to visit again! The small touches from the owner made a real difference and made such a warm welcome to the property. The outdoor facilities are great for you to relax and there is a nice garden and grass area at the back to enjoy. Would highly recommend. Thank you for your hospitality!
I had a brilliant birthday weekend stay at Leyfields Farm. The house and facilities were excellent. The house was decorated in advance of my arrival which was a lovely gesture and the welcome pack included a gorgeous cake which was very tasty! The hot tub was a delight and was well used by all those who stayed. The house is close to Alton Towers which is very handy, and the town of Cheadle has supermarkets and pubs as required. Every little touch was available, hot tub towels, changing mats, high chairs etc. Lisa was so helpful in advance of our visit as well. Definitely recommended as a great place for a large groupfamily.
Kathryn
We had a wonderful stay at Ley Fields. They house is great for a big family and the garden was beautiful in the sunshine perfect for a bbq. The facilities are great, everything is thought of and we couldnt recommend this property enough. The welcome hamper with the homemade cake was really appreciated. We cant wait to return!
Amazing property. Welcome pack was very good , home made sponge and marmalade was lovely. Owners very responsive and covered all our needs. There were 7 of us ,a toddler and a baby and at no point did the house feel crowded. The Belted Galloways and gorgeous garden really added to the stay.
Rachel
Wonderful property, very stylish and bags of space. Beds very comfy, also nice to have deep baths available. Warm and cosy property, and the big kitchen makes socialising even better. The hot tub and garden are lovely and we were able to sit in the garden when the sun finally came out. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise, we had a fantastic weekend and would definitely recommend Ley Fields Farm
Darren
Excellent stay at Ley Fields Farm. Lovely property which has been meticulously equipped for a pleasant stay. Owner was brilliant and kept in touch when needed and made changes to suit our needs. This property is very well equipped and it is evident that care has been taken to ensure guests have a great stay. Nice little touch to arrive to a homemade Victoria sponge too. Well definitely be staying again when we are next in the area!
Amanda e
This property was amazing. It felt rural and secluded but easy access to local amenities and easy transport links. It was really spacious and the most well equipped property we have ever stayed in, they had thought of everything! Would highly recommend.
We had the most amazing stay at Ley Fields Farm. The house was fantastic. Perfect for our group of 3 families 6 adults and 3 children. Beautiful views. Everything was very clean. The house had everything we needed. The host has literally thought of everything! There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival and a very thoughtful gift from the host as I had mentioned that we were celebrating my dad's 70th birthday. Lisa, the host even added some celebration banners and balloons. What a lovely personal touch. The beds were very comfortable. The hot tub was fabulous. Lisa went above and beyond to make our stay so special and I cannot thank her enough. My dad thoroughly enjoyed his birthday weekend. We will definitely book again.
Excellent. Very clean and cheaper.
Lovely spacious house in a nice location. Very well kitted out with a nice welcome pack on arrival. Hot tub was a nice addition too. Would book this property again.
Lovely place to stay, well equipped kitchen, the best we've stayed in. Perfect location and comfortable. Would definitely stay again
Absolutely loved our stay at Ley Feild Farm, stunning house with beautiful furnishings with lots of original features just amazing. Theres nothing they haven't tought of, kitchen well stocked with everything you will need for cooking and cleaning, even dishwaser tablets and washing up liquid. Washing machine, washing tabs, tumble dryer, towels for use in hot tub and plastic cups. Toys for littles one to play with and ample outside space to play. Surrounded by stunning views, just wonderful. Do not hesitate to book this place. We can't wait to return.
WOW we were all blown away by this beautiful house . So warm and cosy when we arrived . we stayed over Xmas and the house was so thoughtfully decorated with such lovely touches . Spotlessly clean and well stocked for a family or just 9 adults I would highly recommend x
Probably the best and most beautiful place we have ever stayed in. Could not fault anything.The pictures do not do it justice!
Michael
We really enjoyed our stay, the house was very well equipped and was decorated with Christmas decorations which was a very nice touch. We highly recommend stay here.
Lisa was a wonderful host, she went above and beyond to decorate for my wife's 40th Birthday. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the Victoria Sponge cake, Lisa's mum made. Honestly we couldn't have asked for a better experience . Many thanks James and George
Excellent. Very clean and cheaper.
Camille
Lovely house perfect for families. Loads of space for little ones and great garden. Owners really helpful, would highly recommend
Heather
We spent a week at the farm with family members ranging from 3 to 75 years. The location was ideal, rural and peaceful with lovely views and yet near to towns and places of interest. The house itself was extremely well equipped and spacious, allowing comfort for us to be together and quiet spaces to be private and, in some cases, connect to work with wifi. There were toys for the children to play with, room in the garden to practise football skills and the hot tub was also enjoyed by some of the party. There was good cupboard space for our food in the kitchen and the large fridge freezer accommodated all the items brought from three families. Our host was pleasant and helpful and we could not have wished for more. We also appreciated the generous welcome pack which we found on arrival.
Absolutely spot on! Right down to the smallest details they've nailed it! Wonderful welcome package with the most amazing homemade cake!
Sharon
This was our second visit to Ley Fields farm so that is a huge inidcator as to how much we enjoyed our first stay. This second stay did not disappoint either. The property is spotlessly clean and extremely well maintained. It was clear that the owners take excellent care of the property. Lots of room for a large family like ours it would also suit one or two famillies together. Lovely outside area clean, daily maintained hot tub, grassy area and newborn calves in the next field! Lots of privacy, space and excellent facillities. Aall furnishings and fittings were of an excellent standard, extremely comfortable beds and sofas. Will be back again! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we rent holidays houses a couple of times a year and this is truly the best one we have stayed in. Very pleasant and helpful owners caretakers, polite and friendly communications and a lovely welcome basket on arrival our children were fighting over the last slice of home made cake!
Cheryl
Fantastic property! Loads of space, yet a really homely feel. Especially the kitchen area, where we seemed to spend a lot of our time. Fantastic hot tub area and garden too. Just what we wanted for our hen weekend. Thank you so much x
Stanley
This is a lovely, comfortable house, in its own grounds, with a smashing childfriendly garden at the back hot tub great looking out onto fields. We were 8 in the party with 2 visitors one day for lunch but it never felt cramped. It is extremely well equipped and the owners seemed to have thought of everything. Family of the provider live on a connected farm and were hospitable and attentive but not intrusive. This also meant one little glitch was handled rapidly and efficiently. Only slight negative was that walking into the countryside meant a few yards along a fairly fast road outside but this was negotiated on several occasions without any problems.
Frances
Ley Fields Farm was perfect for our party weekend! Lisa even put up special decorations for us, thank you for that. The beds were really comfy, the house was spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the hot tub was excellent! Everything has been thought of separate towels and plastic cups are provided for the hot tub. The welcome gifts in the kitchen were a lovely touch too. Thanks again!
Eileen
Stayed 7th 11th April. What a amazing property. The property was perfect although we never took advantage of the hot tub it was available to use. There was plenty of room for the 8 adults and 2 young children. Our 3yr old granddaughter loved being out in the garden and playing with the toys supplied lovely thought A big thank you for the goodies on arrival cake went down a treat The owners had decorated the house for Easter which everyone loved. It was a perfect get away and will be recommending it to family and friends.
Absolutely fabulous. Wonderful house, benefits from 2 lounge areas both with TVs so no arguments over wanting to watch different programs. Fantastic kitchen with everything you need to cook, American fridge freezer so plenty of space for the week's food that we had preordered. Hot tub well maintained and checked daily. Hosts friendly and helpful. The home made cake and courtesy items on arrival were an excellent surprise and delicious! The little touches like the Easter decorations showed how much care and pride is taken in preparing the property for guests. A perfect place to stay, especially with our mix of 3 generations of family.
Suzanne
This is by far the most comfortable, welcoming and spacious Sykes accomodation we have stayed in. A homely home from home indeed. The welcome pack was very much appreciated as was every thoughtful addition to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. I had informed Lisa the owner, our grandson has a very severe tree nut allergy before arrival and she kindly ensured every product used prior to our arrival and within the property was completely nut free. This is no mean feat as many many products do contain some kind of nut product. The level of thoughtfulness for our grandsons safety and the enjoyment of our long awaited holiday was exceptional. We would definitely recommend Ley Fields farm house 100 and will definitely book again in the future.
Fabulous house. Hot tub overlooking the fieldssheep. Lovely touch of hamper and home made cake on arrival. Pleanty of parking for multiple cars. Hosts available for an issuesquestions. So much space to spread out. Would recommend this property to families or as we were a group of friends having a chill out holiday.
We all really enjoyed our stay at Ley Fields Farm. Lovely welcome on the kitchen table on arrival including homemade Marmalade and Victoria Sponge cake. Very private location but the owners are never far away should you require assistance. Lovely rural setting providing great access to the Staffordshire Morlands and the Peak District and the small market town, Cheadle, is less than 2m away for your groceries and takeaways.
Lovely spacious house in a nice location. Very well kitted out with a nice welcome pack on arrival. Hot tub was a nice addition too. Would book this property again.
We honestly couldnt fault this property, everything was perfect. We came to celebrate Our Twin Sisters 50th Birthdays and we had a wonderfully weekend even though we didnt have the weather , The owners who lived on the farm were perfect hosts. All the homely touches We couldnt have chose anywhere better. Everything we could possibly need was available. It was absolutely spotless. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and the home made cake was delicious. Lisa even left a bib and a packet of baby snacks on the high chair for 8 month old Elsie. There were toys for Ivy aged 3 who really enjoyed playing with them all in the Big House. We had a wonderful weekend break and would definitely recommend this Beautiful Farm House. Thank you.
