    There was quite a bit of traffic noise in the night and it’s a tricky corner to get in and out of with the car. The twin room got a bit cold through the night.

    We liked the privacy and loved sitting in the cosy lounge area. The fresh eggs and fridge essentials were a lovely touch. It was well positioned for getting to my brother in Macclesfield. We also loved the doggies and honking goose!

    Location was beautiful but slightly hard to find, for the taxi drivers anyway. Even the host offered to take us to the nearby wedding venue, which was so nice of him to offer. Also offered to collect us at the end of our evening. Most welcoming and kind people.

    Beautiful places, so lovely and had everything we could have needed.

    The washing machine advertised was out of service and we found the central heating difficult to control.

    Hosts Barbara and Angus went out of their way to help us, from steering us in when we were lost to making everything pleasant during our stay. Their property is exceptional and all the animals will delight visitors. Views from the property are particularly special.

    We initially struggled to find the property, look out for the sign for farm fresh eggs! There is also lots of dogs on the property, which is something to be aware of if anyone in your party is afraid of them.

    Barbra and the hosts were so lovely, very helpful and accommodating. They regularly checked in to see if we needed anything and made our stay very homely. The room and location were nice. Breakfast included fresh eggs from the farm, bacon, yogurt and more which was amazing!

    A relaxing, quaint and cosy country cottage with lots of unique features.

    Initially we had trouble finding it but if you know that it is opposite Dingle Lane it is easy to find by entering the Post Code into Sat Nav.

    We were pleasantly surprised by how central the location was for so many activities. Our Grandchildren, paddle boarded, Kayaked, rowed and enjoyed a motor boat. Aldo close by was Rudyard's steam railway. We will be back for rock climbing and walking. The accommodation at the Jewel was very comfortable, probably best described as a small, cosy, country cottage. The lounge was a lovely environment for a family of four to enjoy an evening of games or just chill. For breakfast the cottage contained bacon, fresh eggs, bread, milk butter and a range of cereals. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. If you enjoy unique experiences with a hint of eccentricity then this is accommodation you will enjoy, there is nothing of the bland hotel chain about it. The hosts are a lovely couple and very amenable. The shower was excellent.

    There was a cupboard rather than a wardrobe. It would have been better if there had been a small wardrobe so that things could be hung up.

    The countryside was beautiful. Barbara and Angus couldn't have been more helpful. Ingredients were left for us to make a very sustaining breakfast. All basic items for food and drink were there and were fresh. The rooms were decorated in a quirky but attractive manner and were very clean. We enjoyed meeting the farm birds and animals on the site.
