Lapwing Cottage

An extremely comfortable accommodation with fantabulous ambiance and outstanding interiors and crockeries and beddings . Highly recommended to stay.

loved it

Beautiful cottage in the heart of Staffordshire. Spotlessly clean and cosy with a lovely garden for sitting out with drinks.

The stay was spoilt by a night in possibly the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, and I’ve slept in some awful places.

The garden was nice and big, with a lovely view. Rooms were were comfy and clean. Good place to stay for a night.

We tried to cook dinner and breakfast using the oven however found it did not reach above 140° meaning it took us 2 hours to cook pizzas in the evening and meant we had to get up early in the morning to cook our breakfast knowing how long it was going to take. The cottages are connected meaning the noise levels between each property can be heard significantly and we were kept awake until 1:30am by the people staying next door. We even had to go and knock on their door and ask them to be quiet so we could get some sleep. Of course not a fault of the host, however just something to keep in mind in peak season when the properties are busy.

very spacious, good facilities (the kitchen is the best equipped I’ve seen in a holiday let) really lovely location

parking was a bit haphazard with no defined area per cottage, so I was a bit unsure where to park as someone was already parked by our entrance. I was worried I was going to be in the way where I parked. (totally understand you’re not going to mark out spaces on the amazing courtyard though!)

property was amazing can’t comment on staff as we didn’t see any however there was communication prior to our arrival property was fully equipped more so than what we expected was incredibly clean and tidy we had a fabulous stay

beds were a little uncomfortable and next door had a child that didn’t stop banging even at 3 am but that’s not a reflection on the stay just annoying we were there the same time as that child (yes I do have children )

The house is in a lovely location and has everything needed for a comfortable family stay. The rooms are big, the kitchen is modern and well equipped, beds comfy and everywhere was nice and clean.

Everything was spot on. Thank you.

The property is idyllic - settled in amongst sprawling fields and farmland and the building is so pretty, giving a proper cottage feel. Our friends who haven't really been to the rural north were blown away and loved it in the morning when they could sit and watch a neighbouring shepherd with his flock! The property is warm and has ample room. There were 4 adults in our group and it was perfect. The bedrooms were clean and spacious, one with an en-suite which we didn't expect. An added touch which really helped us was they had a selection of take away menus and had noted on the menus which ones delivered to the property which was super helpful.

The signal to the property was not great and made ordering a food delivery a bit of a challenge. They had left a little note saying they no longer had Sky and we think this extended to any Wi-Fi as there was none we could access. On the one hand it was nice to be detached from technology but did present a problem when trying to order food and trying to check in with family back home. We didn't really notice until night time that the walls were relatively thin and we could hear the other people in the neighbouring rental property. This ordinarily wouldn't be a problem but at night we were all disturbed by a poorly child crying and coughing through the night as well as banging on the wall to get their parents' attention. As said, if the neighbours are quietly asleep it wouldn't be an issue but unfortunately for us was a bit of a disturbance.

Cosy, homely, clean and very well appointed.

Nothing.
