An amazing and comfortable eco house stay
Loved the house, the historic market town of Leek, as well as feeding Dave the badger each evening. A truly amazing space and beautiful modernist design. The October weather was rather poor so Leek was an excellent base, as plenty of museums and quaint towns and cities to visit eg Ashbourne, Stoke on Trent for potteries, Buxton for its historic spa as well as Georgian Derby for the Joseph Wright paintings and Arbour Low stone circle. We walked the glorious Dove Valley on the one perfect autumn day, and regretted not hiking the Roaches and Tissington Trail, but the cloud was down and wouldn't have been safe. Had no idea this part of Peak District was so pretty. The pub and music scene seems thriving in Leek, loads of lovely old pubs and would certainly recommend The Lazy Trout, the Reform and well as music in the Cock.

Nachbarschaft
Beschreibung unserer Nachbarschaft und Gegend
Our home is in a cul-de-sac. It sits in a secluded garden surrounded by trees. In the summer the field next door has cows grazing and they like to look over the dry stone wall at us on occasion. Our neighbours are of the older generation so it is fairly quiet. It is a 5 minute walk to the nearest large supermarket and 10 minute walk to a busy market town with all amenities.
