Roaches Cottages

We had a fabulous stay. Our 3rd time here. We just love it. So cosy and comfy, beautiful part of the world. Nice and relaxing. Karen is a fabulous host! Made to feel so welcome

We stayed here for 3 nights as a base for Alton Towers. We have 4 kids so it's usually quite difficult to find accommodation for us all. This place was great. The cottage was like a converted stable from a million years ago so it had a lot of lovely features and nooks and crannies. The kids loved it as did we. The kitchen was fully equiped and beds were comfy. There is a tea room next door, owned by the same people. We had breakfast there once which was great. However as we needed to get to Alton Towers earlier we missed breakfast the other days as they opened after we left. One great part of this was that there was a tastey cake made for us and left in the fridge. we arrived quite late so this was a treat. Although we used it as a base for Alton Towers, it seems like walkers and hikers would make use of this for the location. Views were stunning. We will be back

Best choice of accommodation and location we could have chosen. There were 4 of us plus 2 dogs and with not being able to dine in the teahouse because of the dogs we ordered our breakfast and full cooked lunch everyday and they brought it across. Even Sunday with full roast dinner. Excellent service and the meals were lovely and very reasonably priced. Our Son in Law had full English breakfast with oatcakes every day. Wonderful location and the views from the terrace from those dining outside were stunning. Definitely recommend staying here

What a hidden gem! Couldn’t have asked for any more from out weekend stay, a clean, cosy, comfortable cottage, with everything we needed and Set in stunning scenery. We are a family of six and came to visit Alton Towers for the weekend, and we couldn’t have picked better accommodation. 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.

Very comfortable and a great location for exploring The Roaches, Lud’s Church, Ramshaw Rocks and even further afield.

Such a lovely property. Lovely warm welcome, with lovely little touches like cakes and milk in he fridge! Beautiful location! Had a fab returning visit!

Absolutely lovely wee rustic cottage with old worldy charm. We stayed in the Smithy cottage which sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms. Has electric shower. Hairdryer. Fully equipped kitchen. Iron. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. No wifi I believe but kids just hot spotted from our phones. Cottage was spotless on arrival. Tea and coffee facilities included. Fresh milk and a cake was provided on arrival. A really lovely touch. There is a popular hill climb a short walk away which has lovely views. Met the owner and family on our arrival night and they were extremely friendly. The tea room is right next door for those who wish to have breakfast or lunch there. We stayed here as a family of 5 to visit Alton Towers which was only 25 mins drive away. Would happily stay here again. It's a great find in a lovely location.

Last minute find, definitely worth to book if you’re off to Alton towers. The owners are friendly and helpful. We arrived very late and they were very concerned until we arrived, they were glad we arrived safely. I would definitely be staying again at some point! The views were also amazing
