Chew Valley Cottage Saddleworth, Manchester

We had a great stay, the property was as described the beds and chairs were very comfortable and we enjoyed the fire in the evening as the temperature dropped. The shower was decent as was the oven.There are lots of great local walks and a few pubs in the town/village which we stopped in.Our dog also had a great time, the only rule upon arriving was not to let him on the furniture which we had no issues with. Just a note re the garden, if you have a dog who's a bit of an escape artist then this property may not be suitable as the fence between our garden and the next doors was only 2 foot tall, although this wasn't an issue for us it might be useful to know for future guests. One last thing, we didn't receive the welcome pack with milk etc so we didn't bring any and had to go to the shops (tesco superstore only a 10 min walk) so if the welcome pack is no longer being offered it might be worth removing from the photos. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and thought it was brilliant value for money!

Lovely cottage, great location and helpful hosts, would definitely be booking again when we come back to visit family

Although compact this little cottage had everything we needed for our stay. 15 min walk to the station with an hourly service into manchester. Lovely scenery and i wish we had more time to explore the area, walks etc. Parking out the front not for the feint hearted but

Pros • Good location and easy access for fell walking. • Safe enclosed gated garden for dogs (assuming won’t jump over 4’ high stone wall) • Gas-glow fire in living room. • Good internet Wi-Fi. • Good local amenities e.g. pubs, pharmacy, Tesco super store, buses. Cons • Access to main bedroom is via the only bathroom. This is probably OK for a couple with 2 small children but could be problematic with teenagers and/or non-family guests. • Box room with two bunk beds has no direct exterior window or ventilation. • Parking space used by others. Had to park across the road. • Location and access instructions inadequate. Google maps gives wrong location on main road.
