Positive: Close to Alton towers
Negative: Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our stay. The cottage was unbearably hot with very little ventilation – one window was taped shut, another was locked with no key, and the loft bedroom had no blind or curtain. We contacted the owners during our stay, but nothing was resolved. We were also concerned about the lack of ventilation and fire safety. There were not enough towels, cutlery or seating for the number of guests, and parts of the property didn’t match the listing. The location is great for Alton Towers, but overall we expected much better.

Great value, a few issues but the hosts were extremely responsive.
Positive: Great value and good location for our needs. The hosts were very responsive when we alerted them of a couple of issues.
Negative: The sofa bed wasn’t comfortable at all, and we weren’t able to open the downstairs window which would have helped to cool the house down in this heatwave.

The Airbnb was suitable for what we needed over the weekend. We would come back.
Only thing is that you need to pay a security deposit.

The house was fine. Good value for money etc. A sour taste has been left in my mouth, due to having to pay additional fees to get the lock box code from them. This just seems sneaky and did not make the accom feel as welcoming.

A nice compact place with good bed provision suitable for an overnight stay, very close to the town centre
Positive: Short walk to the town centre which had lots of small bars and places to eat.
Ample sized rooms. Two doubles and a twin. Spacious. Sofa beds were two-seats wide. So good for small kids only.
Parked right outside the property on yellow line (6pm-8am restriction)
Nice looking place.
Good shower
15 mins from Alton Towers!
Negative: We didn’t use the dining table, but it is undersized if you were planning a meal for all available bed spaces. Similar for size of lounge area.
Otherwise nothing much not to like!

I would stay again. Great location and very homely
Positive: It was lovely. Home comforts. Like a home from home
Negative: The front window was not secure, so it made the room really cold. And it took me a while to figure out the heating as I didn't realise that it flipped up.

The property was clean and the shower pressure was good, but overall the comfort and finish were well below what we expected from the listing photos. The place felt cold and some furnishings and fittings need attention. We chose to leave early. Hopefully some improvements can be made.

Dirty, needs maintenance and tidying up. The back garden was an eye sore, a broken chair left, overflowing bins and cigarettes everywhere, as well as an overflowing cigarette bin on the wall… Not safe or pleasant for our dogs. The price was discounted due to a late booking which worked out a fair price for what it was but i would’ve been extremely disappointed if i had paid full price (almost double what we paid). Location was convenient with pubs and shops nearby, parking is opposite on the road, bit of an iffy area but it was fine in the end.
Hard uncomfortable sofas, no wine opener? We had to go buy one and not even milk or oil left so we struggled and had to go back out!
Communication was over the top, i’m talking perhaps 10 emails between booking and checkin (5 days) but communication on check in was simple and clear.
Wouldn’t stay again based off our experience!

We had a fab stay in a gorgeous house.
Positive: How big the house was and the facilities with in it.
How close it was to the town center
Negative: The seating in the living room was very uncomfortable but do take into consideration it is a sofa bed. It was a little too low and hard for older parents.

Ok for what we needed it for but wouldn’t want to spend a full holiday there!
Positive: Good central location but no parking at the actual property, just on streets nearby.
Lovely and clean!
Negative: The bathroom is downstairs so it was a bit tricky for my elderly mother in law to come down for the toilet in the night.
The sofas are not very comfortable to sit on.
Couldn’t seem to find normal live tv.

Positive: Close to the racecourse where our event was being held. Very clean and well stocked with everything.
Great shower!
Negative: Parking was a bit of an issue as we had 4 cars between the 8 of us, but we found room a few streets away.
Very steep stairs up to the "attic" room.

Convenient location but the house was tired and not particularly clean.
Positive: Great location
Negative: I found the house to be in a tatty start floorboards were a trip hazard.
Kitchen had a stall smell and the kitchen could have been cleaner. Food on cupboards and dirty plates.
Bathroom needs a good deep clean as there was brown grin around the edges, attention to detail.
Beds were ok but mattress protectors weren’t clean. They had stains not what I would expect.

We only stayed one night - 3 adults, 2 teens, mixing a business meeting in the area with next day fun at Alton Towers.
Nice character property, very clean and tidy. I was easy to find and access, the host sends comprehensive instructions anyway. Located 5 minutes walking from what I believe is the town centre, so easy access to local pubs and places to eat.
Good internet, no issues with heating if needed. The top bedroom is lovely.
I can't comment on anything else due to our brief stay. Didn't use the kitchen facilities.

Positive: Location was great. Close to town and local facilities and close to Alton Towers.
Negative: No bins in the bedrooms. Parking was an issue but only because they were resurfacing the roads whilst we were there. No washing up brush or cloth.

The accomodation worked for us and, despite criticisms in other reviews, was clean.
It is a little basic though and if we were staying more than a night or two, rather too basic.
So fine for a short stay but if you are using all of the beds anything longer will become uncomfortable.
