The Old sty was a lovely small one bedroom cottage perfect location for Staffordshire and Derbyshire peaks.lots of local and further afield walks
The cottage was clean and well equipped. Will definitely come again in the future.
There was nothing bad about the old sty
It covered all the bases

The property was very well appointed and ideal for a cosy getaway for two. The kitchen was very well equipped, with everything you'd need to cook and eat at the cottage. The lounge was perfect with a comfy sofa and small table and chairs to dine at. Wi-Fi was fast with a router in the cottage so great signal, which worked well with the smart TV. The bed was very comfy and could be configured as two singles or a double (you just have to let the hosts know). We stayed over Easter, so the weather was warm, but I got the impression this would be equally nice for a cosy winter break.
We bumped into the owners when we picked up the keys, who were friendly and helpful, but mostly conversed over WhatsApp which worked perfectly for us (although I got the impression they were around and available if we needed them for anything).
What sets this cottage apart is the fantastic location - we woke each morning to the sounds of the sheep in a nearby field, the views are lovely, the cottage is away from the main road so nice and quiet and the Llamas are fun to go and say hello to. You're not too far from anywhere - both Leek and Ashbourne are 15 mins away by car, and if you're looking for somewhere to stay to visit Alton Towers - it's less than 10 minutes door to door via a nice quiet country lane - so perfect to get there in the morning and ideal to come back to after a day riding coasters.
There were other cottages on site to sleep more people, so if we were to head back with friends we'd have no hesitation booking one of the other cottages, they looked just as nice from what we saw.
Nothing - the cottage was perfect as it was.

The property was very cosy and well decorated. The kitchen was well kitted out and we were able to make a number of meals whilst staying here with ease. The lounge area is comfortable with a smart TV meaning you can access Netflix etc with ease. There is a small dining table that was great for breakfast and dinner. The bathroom was very clean with a large velux window meaning it had natural light and ventilation .
The bed was very comfortable and good quality pillows and bedding provided.
The property is fully central heated and this is very efficient
A good base which is situated in a quiet location and with great connections to the peake district meaning we where able to explore much of this area.
Also located very close to alton towers if thats your thing.
The property was maybe a little smaller than expected.
The property has many windows but not many that open. We were a able to leave the door open which allowed good ventilation.
The heating is very efficient... which is great but goes from zero to boiling in next to no time.
Parking space was a little awkward as located right next to property entrance but after being there a few days realised not an issue
