Hippo's Rest
Hippo's Rest is in Harriseahead, north Staffordshire. It's a semi-detached cottage for two people, next to our house. You get your own patio and front door.
It's a 4 Star place, so it's modern and well-equipped. Everything is on one level inside, which is good. The main living space has patio doors out to the garden. Upstairs is just the bedroom and bathroom. The shower is a proper cubicle.
The garden is shared with us, but we keep to our end. There's a large pond, so it's not suitable for young children. You have your own table and chairs on the patio.
The village is quiet. There's a pub about a ten minute walk away. It does food. The shop is a bit further. Mow Cop Castle is up the hill. It's an old folly, good for a short walk with a view. The National Trust page for Mow Cop has more.
You're well placed for getting out. Leek is about twenty minutes drive, and Congleton is ten minutes. The Potteries are a short drive for the museums and factories. The Peak District boundary is maybe half an hour.
There are a lot of National Trust places nearby. Biddulph Grange Garden is about fifteen minutes away. You need to book ahead. Little Moreton Hall is similar distance. Jodrell Bank is about forty minutes.
The cottage has parking right outside. It has WiFi, a TV, and a washing machine. All bedding and towels are included. The entrance and living space are wheelchair accessible. Because of the stairs to the bedroom, it's not fully wheelchair friendly, but the downstairs toilet is adapted.
