Not ideal but we made do
Positive: Good location for Alton towers visit, close to shops

Sofa bed had leaves and other dirt on the mattress when folded out. Downstairs toilet stunk of damp/damp marks on various walls

This was a very convenient stay in the middle of Leek, yet still quiet in the evenings and during the night. Supermarkets, pubs and restaurants all local. Ample space to sleep 5 or 6 people. Parking wasn’t an issue between 3.30pm and 9.30am, and during the paid times there is a car park opposite for £2.50 per day. We enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here for 2 nights in order to attend a wedding close by. The property was as described and shown in the images. It was clean and really well equipped with all we needed. Communication beforehand was excellent with clear instructions for access and WiFi, even including a Youtube video of how to find the property. The house is a short walk into Leek with plenty of restaurants and pubs. We would recommend this property to others

3.0/5
The property is in a great location for the shops in Leek and has the potential to be a lovely place to stay. The bedrooms and bathroom were very good and appeared clean and well prepared. However, the property lacks a homely feel and feels quite bare, with little character.
The kitchen had limited utensils, which made cooking difficult, and the extractor fan wasn’t working so we had to open the back door. Although towels were provided, there was no tea towel, only thin blue roll which isn’t ideal. Some items, including glasses, the cheese grater and oven shelf, were not clean, and the freezer seemed to be constantly half defrosted.
The decor looks quite tired in places, especially the kitchen skirting, and the downstairs toilet extractor fan is extremely loud. The garden was also disappointing, with branches everywhere, rubbish and cigarette butts.
Overall, it was reasonably comfortable but very basic. With a few small improvements and more attention to detail, it could be much better

Great location for exploring Peak District as close to national park yet lots on doorstep in terms of coffee shops, supermarkets, restaurants. There was a dirty sheet left on the sofa bed that the cleaner had forgotten to change but the host dealt with this super quickly and brought the sheet round within half an hour of us alerting them on the emergency number. Overall a comfortable stay in a handy location.

4.0/5
Cheap and pleasant. Being a home run by a corporation, it lacks homeliness and character, but it has most things you need for a couple of days in the Peak District.
The primary bed could do with a new/fimer matress as it was feeling pretty dead, and if you plan on cooking at the apartment, check what pots/pans you need before buying your food as it could do with a few more items (baking trays, larger fry pan, etc.) as it is not setup for a large group even though the apartment can host a family of 6. There are a few stores within walking distance, and the general area is pleasant and quiet in the evening.

Great place for an overnight stay before going to Alton Towers 20 mins drive away. Close to shops/supermarkets right in the doorstep. Fully equipped kitchen great for home cooking.
We did have a couple of issues with the cleanliness of the kitchenware which had stains on the crockery & pots/pans hadn't been cleaned. Also we found a pile of ladies underwear in the drawer with the pots & pans which was quite a surprise! And the toilet brush in the bathroom was really dirty. These are small issues & probably just an oversight, the host was quick to respond when I messaged about it. However, the issue was not resolved & no solution was offered by the host, we had to resolve the issue ourselves. The walls are also very grubby looking, full of marks/stains & there was quite alot of dust around.
So due to this we didn't feel it was good value for money because the cleanliness wasn't up to standard for the price. Therefore, we couldn't give a 5 star review, but enjoyable stay all round.

House was perfect for what we needed, parking right outside overnight and the information provided from the host made check in straightforward. The host was responsive to any questions I had.
Comfy beds and clean linen much appreciated.
The main attraction for us was Alton Towers nearby, but the town seemed lovely. I would happily return to this property. Thank you 🙂

4.0/5
The host was very easy to deal with, and communication throughout our stay was excellent. The property is located within a car park, but free parking is available outside the house from 3:30 pm to 9:30 am, which was convenient. Alton Towers is only about 20 minutes away, making it a great base for our trip.
The house itself was clean and tidy, though some areas could use a refresh — particularly the lounge ceiling and kitchen skirting, which showed noticeable water staining. The furniture and beds were serviceable, but on the basic side and not especially comfortable. A fresh coat of paint and some updated furnishings would make a big difference.
Overall, a clean and practical stay in a convenient location, with a host who was a pleasure to communicate with
