This gem of a cottage was just as wonderful in person as it was in the photographs. Maggie and Stephen were incredible generous hosts, both in amenities, as well as quick responses to any communication we had with them. They stocked the refrigerator for our arrival, so we had lots to eat for breakfast for the weekend (even with two teenage boys in tow!). I should also add that the cottage, despite being small, it was perfect for our family of four.
The area of Heaton Mersey was really interesting with some lovely shops including the zero waste store The Good Life Heaton Mersey and Black Spot Pizza. The cottage is down a sweet cobbled close with a nature reserve below it for lovely walks along the Mersey. There is also a great looking pub, The Crown, at the top of the road. The Peak District and Lyme Park (National Trust) we’re easy driving distance away. Lyme Park was great, but requires prebooking for entrance at this time.
I can’t recommend this cottage and location enough. It was really lovely and I know it will be a popular place. If it is available, book it!
