The hosts were lovely, and a plate full of cake in the kitchen on arrival was very much appreciated by my children after a six hour car journey!! Already thinking of coming back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/062ADDA98676D5AC0120A15AFFBB6D0E738290151683569273456.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Claire Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 1 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### A Great Stay! Lovely cottage, well stocked with everything you need. You can park right outside the property. Also the views are stunning across the hills. Karen was lovely and left us milk and lovely cake in the fridge as we arrived late. We ate breakfast at the adjoining tea rooms which was really good value and the food was excellent! Tia the guard dog was on hand to meet us and, although very large and vocal, was harmless so you don't need to worry, she's a gentle giant. Would definitely go back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/241FA969798E03627F36B0928E2E79B1E1852DE71667309552881.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B877809E25A1913C006D13BA16011629823982081667309548092.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Good base for family visit to Alton Towers. Had a great 3 night stay at Smithy Cottage . We were family of 5 and using it as a base for Alton Towers . Comfy beds and enough proper beds for all of us . The cottage was well equpped and in lovely setting . Just a shame it was so misty weather when we were there . There were a few cobwebs on the stone walls in the cottage but it added to the character that shouldnt put you off everything else was clean and tidy. There was no wifi which actually made a pleasant change as the kids actually had fun playing charades instead of glued to there phones . The tearoom was lovely too and busy with walkers . We would definately stay here again . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### A stay at the Roaches A very pleasant stay in a beautiful area. A good location for walks in the south of the peak district, particularly up to Hen's Cloud and the Roaches, Gradbach Mill and Lud's Church, and a little further away Miller's Dale & Chee Dale gorge. Nice to have a welcoming couple of slices of homemade cake and a jug of fresh milk on arrival. The accommodation was comfortable and had everything we needed. The mobile service (EE) is not the best from within the cottage through the solid stone walls but better upstairs. The TV has all the usual freeview channels. No wifi available. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Julie Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Ruth Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salhin 21 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Salhin Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 5 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Love it here We had a fabulous stay.
