Cheadle Guide
Cheadle's cottages with hot tubs offer a perfect blend of Staffordshire countryside and easy access to the Peak District. Most properties sleep 2-8 people, with prices averaging £450-£950 per week depending on season and facilities.
The area boasts Alton Towers (15 minutes away, TripAdvisor score 4/5), historic Cheadle town centre with its 200-foot spired St Giles Catholic Church and excellent walking routes. The town sits on the edge of the Churnet Valley, often called "Staffordshire's Little Switzerland" for its dramatic landscapes.
Interestingly, Cheadle has connections to JRR Tolkien who visited regularly in the 1940s. Local historians believe the Churnet Valley inspired parts of Middle Earth in his Lord of the Rings books.
Cottages range from converted farm buildings to modern eco-builds. Many feature private hot tubs, wood-burning stoves and enclosed gardens. Group accommodation is available for up to 20 people, perfect for family gatherings where everyone can enjoy the hot tub experience.

Sightseeing
Cheadle sits in a brilliant spot for exploring both Staffordshire and the Peak District. I've found it's a great base if you want countryside but don't want to be miles from civilization.
Alton Towers Resort (ST10 4DB) is just 5 miles away and opens 10am-5pm most days (longer in summer). It scores 4/5 on TripAdvisor from over 16,000 reviews. The theme park gets busy, so I recommend arriving early or visiting midweek.
St Giles Catholic Church (ST10 1EF) dominates Cheadle's skyline with its 200-foot spire. Designed by Augustus Pugin (who also worked on the Houses of Parliament), it's free to enter and worth seeing for the stunning interior. Open daily 8am-6pm.
The Churnet Valley Railway (ST10 2JW, TripAdvisor 4.5/5) runs steam trains through gorgeous countryside. Tickets cost £14-18 for adults and trains run Wednesday-Sunday plus bank holidays. The railway's 10.5-mile route follows the old North Staffordshire Railway line.
Pet Friendly
Many Cheadle cottages welcome dogs, often with secure gardens where they can run about while you enjoy your hot tub. Most charge £20-30 per dog per stay.
Dimmingsdale Valley (ST10 4BU) offers excellent dog walks with miles of woodland trails. The terrain varies from gentle paths to more challenging routes. The Ramblers Retreat café here welcomes dogs in their outdoor seating area.
The Huntsman pub (ST10 1NS) in Cheadle town centre is properly dog-friendly - they even have dog treats behind the bar! Their Sunday roasts are excellent too.
If your dog loves water, try the River Churnet walks where they can splash about. Pack old towels for drying them off before heading back to your cottage - nobody wants wet dog smell in the hot tub!
Top 3 attractions you have to see in Cheadle
Pugin's Gem - St Giles Catholic Church (ST10 1EF) isn't just another church. The interior will knock your socks off with its riot of colour and detail. Augustus Pugin spent his own money making this his "perfect church" in the 1840s. The guided tours (£5, Saturdays at 11am) reveal fascinating details you'd otherwise miss. One visitor called it "the Sistine Chapel of the Midlands" on TripAdvisor.
Churnet Valley Railway (ST10 2JW) gives you a proper old-fashioned day out. The steam trains chug through gorgeous countryside that most people never see. We recommend the dining experiences - having afternoon tea while watching the landscape roll by is brilliant. Kids go wild for the Santa Specials in December, which sell out months ahead.
Foxfield Railway (ST11 9BG) offers something different - the steepest standard gauge railway in Britain. Their "Footplate Experiences" let you actually drive a steam locomotive (£225, must book months ahead). One TripAdvisor reviewer wrote: "Driving a steam engine was on my bucket list for 40 years - worth every penny!"
What's the best time to visit Cheadle?
May to September gives the best weather for enjoying your hot tub. October offers stunning autumn colours in the Churnet Valley. Avoid school holidays if you want quieter attractions and better cottage prices.
Can I walk to pubs from Cheadle cottages?
Cottages in Cheadle town have several pubs within walking distance. Rural cottages typically need a car, though some have pubs within a mile. The Huntsman and The Wheatsheaf both serve good food and local ales.
Is Cheadle good for walking?
Yes! The Churnet Valley offers walks for all abilities. The JCB Lake loop (3 miles) is fairly flat, while Dimmingsdale has more challenging terrain. The Staffordshire Way long-distance path passes nearby.
How far is Cheadle from the Peak District?
The Peak District National Park boundary is just 8 miles from Cheadle. You can reach Dovedale in 25 minutes by car and Bakewell in 40 minutes.
Are there good restaurants in Cheadle?
For a small town, Cheadle punches above its weight. The Yellow House offers excellent modern British food. Zari serves top-notch Indian cuisine. For special occasions, try The Duncombe Arms in Ellastone (15 minutes drive) - it's in the Michelin Guide.
What should I pack for my hot tub cottage break?
Bring flip-flops for going between cottage and hot tub, extra towels and plastic glasses for drinks. Swimwear obviously, but also warm clothes as evenings can be chilly even in summer when you get out of the tub!
