Mount Yard - Stylish Cottage - Close to Alton Towers - Peak District - Stoke-on-Trent Sleeps 5

Great location with a co-op, Chinese and fish and chip shop within walking distance. Easy commute to Alton Towers.

The shower wasn’t great - not enough water pressure to wash hair and also very low (if you’re a tall person). The front door needs fixing as very hard to open and close.

We liked the easy access to Alton Towers and the property itself was a nice size with plenty of room for our stay.

The shower was a massive disappointment. I had to crouch just to get under it and, once we worked out how to start the pump, the water pressure had all the power of an asthmatic hamster blowing through a straw. The wall was full of holes where the shower had clearly been mounted several times before and it was coming loose again. There’s also a beam running straight through the middle of the bathroom which we both managed to bang our heads on. It’s actually a good-sized bathroom, just very poorly designed and in need of some attention. The bedrooms also only had very thin blinds and no curtains, so the rooms were fully lit by around 6am with no real way to block the daylight out, which wasn’t ideal after a long drive. We also noticed when washing up that the dish brush was still covered in old food or egg residue, which immediately made the kitchen area feel unclean and gave the impression it hadn’t been properly checked before our stay.

Toys and games a great bonus which children really enjoyed

Great space in the property. Bedrooms and bathroom a nice size. Kitchen has all you needed. Easy parking. Coffee shop and co-op just round the corner. Good location.

The shower wasn’t very warm or strong. Would be nice to have better bed linen. The boiler or radiators made a knocking noise all night.

Lovely little house. Perfect location to the venue next door. Clean and comfy beds. Has everything you need. 2nd time staying. The hosts keep in touch and are accomodating. Woukd definately stay again

It was cold when we arrived but with instructions we worked out the hive heating

This is a lovely cottage, with a well equipped kitchen and two generous sized comfy bedrooms. Perfect for us staying over a part of a trip to Alton Towers. It’s ideally located with the coop shop around the corner and a great bakery for the morning!

The directions to the property could be improved. The entrance to the car park is directly opposite “Hall Yard” For anyone booking in future this is a really minor thing. Don’t let this put you off.

was easy to get the key from the box and we were able to access the wifi easily

there was not anything that we had a problem with

It is very quiet and clean .
