Georgie

We had a beautiful holiday at this lovely property. It was exceptionally clean, the open plan nature of the downstairs allowed us to cook, play games and enjoy the sights seamlessly. The hot tub was great, plenty of wood supplied and easy to use. Parking is easy and right next to the gate to the patio so easy to move luggage in. There is so much to do nearby, we enjoyed walks to Thors cave, escape room and great smokehouse Hickorys in Stafford. Emma bridgewater was also great. We spent hours playing board games and in the hot tub and have returned home feeling refreshed with some great memories too. We had car problems on the day of departure and Jeff went above and beyond, throughout the stay he was quick to respond to any texts we sent. We hope to return soon!

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Acorn Lodge. My teenage daughter loved the local wildlife and got some amazing photos right from the back door. My youngest loved the hot tub. I was a bit worried about getting it going as I've never lit a fire before! But by the third day I was a dab hand and came away feeling pretty proud of myself! The rooms were comfortable and so peaceful, only noise we heard was sheep and cows in the distance Bliss. Definitely recommend anyone staying there having a bird song finding ap on their phone, it really helped us realize exactly what wonderful wildlife surrounded us. We only had one issue with a shower whilst there and the host immediately messaged back and it was fixed whilst we were out it really was a perfect stay and we would love to come back later in the year. Many thanks, just what we needed.

Stephanie

We really enjoyed our stay at Acorn Lodge. Just what we wanted, clean, warm, comfortable, quiet, nice surroundings and spacious. And loved the hot tub. The owners were very understanding and approachable when we had a change to our circumstances. I would highly recommend.

Daniel

Lovely cottage, very clean and peaceful.

Rebekah

Beautiful rural location, we have had a lovely relaxing time in the peaceful surroundings of Acorn Lodge! We enjoyed a nice long walk across surrounding fields, and relaxed in the hot tub afterwards. The eco hot tub is a nice feature, it just takes a bit of time to get hot initially. The property was warm and cosy. Lots of wood was provided, for the hot tub and log burner. The owner was very attentive, and communicated regularly, including supporting us with an alternative route to the property following a tree falling, then coming the next day to remove the tree. For anyone looking for a quiet break, this is the perfect place!

Michael & Fiona

Fantastic property with a fantastic owner who made sure everything was perfect.

Tracey

Lovely cottage with everything we needed, was well equipped. The cottage was always warm the log burner fire was cozy in the evenings. Was lovely waking up with nothing but fields to look at. We enjoyed the hot tub after trips outs. The owner was always available at the end of the phone if we had any questions. Would definitely recommend Acorn Lodge.

This is a lovely property and really quiet and peaceful location. The hot tub and wood burner are always a hit as was the waterfall shower. It is close enough to the peaks to make the drive, while also feeling off the beaten track. We would happily return again. Our only recommendations to improve would be extra towels for the hot tub and a caffetiere most places have them so I didnt bring ours these are minor points. Otherwise 1010.

Lovely place, everything you could need. Home from home. Would love to come again!! Welcome pack was lovely as was our host. One of our party left some belongings behind. Jeff has been great and is sending the back to us! All round 5 lodge and host. Would definitely recommend.

Cant fault the lodge or the hosts! We absolutely love it, its our second time staying in the last few months and even a week isnt long enough. Thanks again Jeff & Anna

Lorraine

We thoroughly enjoyed staying a Acorn Lodge. A very comfortable cottage which was perfect for our family of four. Well designed lounge, dining and kitchen area and very comfortable beds. We loved all the acorn theming and the real fire. Well equipped kitchen and enjoyed outside dining on the patio. Peace and tranquillity the only noise is birdsong, cows mooing and sheep bleating. Lovely views over the countryside. Amazing hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed. We really had a great week at Acorn Lodge, and hope to return. Thank you.

Absolutely loved everything about the property and the attention to detail from the owners. Loved it so much so that weve just booked to stay again! Tip Id take a dressing gown and sone flip flops with you, for the hot tub.

I booked this cottage as a short break for my wife, her friend and my two daughters. My wife has written this review. The cottage itself was beautiful, very comfortable and with everything we needed. How lovely it was to wake in the mornings to hear nothing but the birds , Ive never been somewhere so quiet. The hot tub was an added bonus and we made the most of it enjoying the amazing views around. Thank you so much to Jeff who turned up just as wed got ourselves a bit lost trying to find the cottage and getting us back on track. . Any questions we had from helping us with the hot tub to where the nearest pub to eat was he was quick to respond.

An absolutely stunning cottage and location. Really clean and thoughtfully managed. The location was so peaceful and beautiful, we had a really restful and relaxing break. Communication from the owner was excellent, as was the welcome package. Would wholeheartedly recommend and would absolutely return for another holiday here!

Pauline

Excellent facility Highly recommend if you want to escape the hum drum of life. Beautiful property. Well maintained easy access to surroundings points of interests. Jeff and Anna hosts made our New Year Eve Memorable and will definitely return when available. Thank you

Daniel

We had a fantastic stay. Great communication from the host. Would stay again. Thank you.

Matthew

We had a wonderful stay at Acorn Lodge, the accommodation was very comfortable and provided everything we needed. A lovely quiet spot but not too far from a town or city. Hot tub was great as well, would recommend. The owner was spot on as well, thank you.

Lovely rural location. Spacious accommodation.. loved your attention to detail, right down to the firelighters. Enjoyed the Acorn theme too, very thoughtful.

Michael

This accommodation was lovely, peaceful and comfortable. The weather wasn't too good whilst we were there, so we enjoyed a few evenings in either watching TV or playing games. However on a sunny day, the garden would be a lovely sun trap. The view was peaceful. We enjoyed sharing the garden with pheasants, partridge, robins and blackbirds... and of course Jenkins.

Amanda

Cottages was beautiful, the only thing to consider is that the pillows are quite flat. We had a fab weekend

Our third stay here it is a lovely property, comfortable and spacious, with excellent hot tub and is set in a beautiful tranquil location.

Accomodation was of the highest standard and the location was wonderful, so quiet and peaceful. The hot tub was a hit with everyone and the owner was so kind, friendly and helpful. There was no cafetierre but that was no problem, everything else was there that was needed. Highly recommend.

Elaine

Lovely cottage, in an idyllic situation. It is comfortable, spacious and wellequipped. The owner was friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to visit within easy travelling distance.

Lovely homely feeling Jeff the host was most welcoming we knew that if needed he was there but left us to enjoy our holiday. All ok tight squeeze for dishing up four meals but we managed it!! All facilities good and Jeff came an cleaned the tub in between a couple of uses!! As said before Jenkins the cat was very friendly and came to talk to us each day. A very relaxing week shame the weather wasn't glorious for the week!!

Kathryn

Great property! Very peaceful and quiet exactly what we were hoping for. All the facilities are as described, and it is really clean and well appointed. Great views of the surrounding farmland. Good position for touring the Peaks and the Potteries, and surrounding places of interest. Five stars!

Where to start, what an absolutely beautiful ans secluded place. Big parking area, private fenced off garden and patio, luxury wood fired hot tub which was big! With jets and LED's to enjoy an evening dip. Garden furniture to sit out and enjoy the view and sun. Big spacious livingdiningkitchen with a big fridge freezer, cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishwasher and other utensils etc in the cupboards. Plates, bowls, cups, cutlery and place mats all provided in the unit by the dining table. Games under the tv cabinet, as well as badminton set under the stairs qhere the recycling bins and ironironing board are. The sofas were cosy and the log fire was gorgeous, although the weather was so nice during our visit it was too hot to use, but Jeff called over and asked of we wanted any fans, which we accepted. The bedrooms were spacious, and nice comfy double beds, the downstairs bedroom can be changed to 2 singles if needed, which Jeff asked before our visit. The bathrooms were really nice and underfloor heating! There was a welcome pack and booklet to ahow all local places including pubs, towns, walks etc. Which was so nice to have. And not forgetting jenkins, the cute little ginger cat who comes to visit often. All together it was a pleasure to visit and we will definitely be back. Thank you, jodie, kyle, Brandon and Patrice xx

Beautiful Lodge, everything was perfect for a home from home stay, really warm and cosy, tranquil and relaxing location to enjoy the views and wonderful hot tub. Thank you to Jeff for hosting, really good communication about my stay and for the lovely welcome pack.

Bethan

We had the most wonderful time staying at Acorn Lodge. Facilities were pristine, hot tub was incredible and the hosts were so thoughtful and kind. There we so many wonderful little touches that made our stay so easy and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend and cant wait to book again for a longer stay! Thank you Jeff and Anna!

Matthew

A fantastic secluded property, that was warm, and beautifully finished. We will be staying here again in the future.

I Stayed at the Acorn lodge with my partner for our birthdays. The property is beautiful, very peaceful and quiet had a wonderful stay. The host Jeff was extremely accommodating and responded instantly, second to none! Thank you. Would really recommend the property.

We had a really lovely stay at Acorn Lodge, and would highly recommend it. The Lodge was beautifully furnished and included everything you could need for a weekend away. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, along with relaxing in front of the wood burner. If you're after a peaceful weekend away, this is the perfect place! Jenkins the cat was a great addition, always happy to receive a fuss and the occasional little treat, our children were quite sad to say good bye at the end of our stay! The only thing that could do with some attention is the access road, a few of the big holes could do with being filled in, but that's being picky.

Recently stayed at Acorn lodge, beautiful lodge with great views. Very well stocked and had everything we needed for the break. Owners were lovely . Kids enjoyed Jenkins the cat visiting. A home from home .

Caroline

Acorn Lodge was lovely and perfect for our weekend away. We arrived on the Friday when there had been rain and flooding, however the owner was helpful and responsive when asking for advice about how to get there. The hot tub did take a while to warm up, but once it was, it lovely. The owner was great, easily contactable and nearby to help if needed. Would stay again.

We enjoyed our holiday and the personal service was excellent

Steven

Lovely and clean quiet cottage , very comfortable, helpful owner , would happily return again.

We had an absolutely amazing bank holiday weekend! The location of Acorn Lodge in close proximity to the owner made sure any silly requests we had and there were a couple, nothing to do with the lodge itself though! were dealt with quickly. The owners are friendly and attentive and we had a good amount of communication with them and they are open to any feedback or recommendations, even whilst you are there. Acorn lodge itself made for the perfect holiday stay, we were welcomed by the very friendly Jenkins cat on arrival, the hot tub was great and once hot it really doesnt take that long to reheat at all in fact we overheated on a couple of occasions and had to call in for help

We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

The lodge is absolutely perfect and exactly what wed hoped for. It is set in beautiful countryside with a field of cows just over the fence which we loved to watch as we relaxed in the hot tub as the sun set. The hot tub is incredibly easy to use and is far superior to any other weve used before. The lodge is stunning. It feels really cosy and traditional but has all the modern appliances you need. Excellent showers and really comfortable beds. Its incredibly private and peaceful but Jeff and Anna were always on hand if we needed anything and the welcome box of goodies was much appreciated. Weve stayed in many Sykes cottages over the years and this was our favourite. P.S We spotted a negative review on this website. The review we read is completely at odds with our experience. We recommend you ignore it.

Could not use the hot tub as it was NOT tested daily and chemicals added. . Dining chairs were very rickety and on the point of breaking. Beds were atrocious. Bedding cheap nylon. Only 1 pillow each supplied. The lodge reeked of cigarette smoke when we arrived. The cupboard doors and drawers on the dresser were very poor quality and didnt close or open easily. We left them open because they were in such a poor condition. This place was a disgrace.
