What a gem!
We booked the cottage for a week's stay whike work was being done on our home. It was a real home from home too. Everything's there, including electric blankets to warm the beds. Although thd heating kept the cottage toasty, we turned most off except living room and bathroom. Loved the log burner too, a real focal point. Internet provided was good, a bonus as the phone signal there is poor, as is most of the local area due to hills etc. Would certainly recommend.

The property was very clean, and well equipped. Being an older type cottage, it had plenty of charisma. The village is situated in an ideal place for exploring. The main town of Leek is only a few miles away. The property owner is nearby for any queries, and was most helpful.

Lovely cosy cottage near Leek.
Lovely cosy cottage near Leek. Some good walks nearby - recommend the Manifold Valley especially in Autumn colours. Good for families but best suited to older children because of the layout of the stairs, stone floors and wood burning stove etc. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We have just got back from Garden cottage and we had the best time. The cottage was full of character and had everything you could need on holiday. Mick (the owner) was absolutely wonderful. On hand if you needed any help but also left you to your own devices. It was really central to lots of attractions. Perfect. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Garden Cottage is a traditional cottage in a beautiful location.
Garden Cottage is a traditional cottage in a beautiful location. Mick, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful and had ensured additional cleaning had been done for our arrival, which was a weight off our minds in the current climate. In fact, the cottage was spotless and there were an abundance of cleaning products, cloths, handwash etc for our use, which was pleasing as they haven't always been included in past accomadations we've stayed at. The property is traditionally and sympathetically decorated,which was exactly what we wanted. The view from the courtyard garden is stunning, and The Jervis Arms is about 50 yards away. The have a large beer garden with a stream which the kids can play in, and the meal we had there was gorgeous. Leek is only a 10 minute drive, with supermarkets for supplies. We visited Rudyard Lake (25 mins away) and Heights of Abraham (40 mins) which were great. If you are looking for power showers and light and airy rooms, you'll be disappointed. But if you want cosy rooms, log fires, beams and to emmerse yourself in country life for a few days, then I would absolutely recommend Garden Cottage. We will visit again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Garden cottage.
Really enjoyed our stay at Garden cottage. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed, hosts provided several additional items for our 2 year old son which was much appreciated. Lovely location in centre of Onecote just near Jervis Arms pub and restaurant (which is excellent), numerous places in Peak District easily reached by car. Would highly recommend.

A warm, cosy, well equipped cottage located a short drive from The Roaches, Luds church and Thors cave. We were made to feel very welcome by our host Mick who also checked in mid stay to make sure all was OK, Mick really couldn't do enough for you and even had the fire made up on our arrival, ready to light should it turn cold. The Jervis Arms public house is a very short walk away, the food and beer was good and was reasonably priced. If we need accommodation in the area again we will definitely consider Garden Cottage.

Stayed at Garden Cottage between 21st and 28th December so celebrated Christmas in this lovely property in Onecote village. The cottage was fully equipped and we didn't need any 'just in case' kitchen items so no need to bother with taking corkscrew, grater, peeler etc. Mike greeted us on arrival and was really friendly and helpful re local area e.g. recommended good field for our dog and the close by Jervis Arms. There were logs for the wood burner, a stunning Christmas tree and much appreciated tea bags and milk. Lots of handy leaflets about local attractions too. The cottage was simply charming with its deep set windows, wooden beams and slanted ceiling. We felt so relaxed there and would definitely book again. Gable Cottage, on the other side of Moorland House where Mike and Lorraine live, is equally delightful and we would try to book both cottages as a larger party to visit family in Leek over the holidays.

The cottage was clean and tidy. The proprietor lived next door and was very pleasant and solicitous about our comfort. There was off-road parking, but it could be a bit tricky emerging onto the road which was sometimes quite busy. We stayed with two dogs; they were happy there.

Have just returned from a blissful week in Onecote. Perfect cottage in a idyllic setting. If you love getting away from it all, surrounded by the beautiful English countryside, then this Cottage is for you. We met Mick (owner) on arrival and he kindly showed us around this gorgeous little cottage and even provided a bottle of milk so that we could have a cuppa straight away. Very close to Alton Towers, much to my daughter and niece's delight. We loved it here and just wish we could have stayed longer.

Quiet village stay
We were very happy with the property and the facilities therein. The owner could not have been more helpful. There's no mobile phone signal in the area but the WiFi in the cottage was adequate for our needs. One suggestion for a small improvement: a wall-mounted mirror in the bathroom would have been nice.
