Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michele Robinson
Hi. I'm Michele and I have owned Holly Cottage for a number of years, running it as a bespoke holiday let since 2013. I love to welcome guests to share our beautiful countryside, with amazing walks, great pubs and quirky local villages (and we are only 2.5 miles from Alton Towers theme park).
Why they chose this property
Holly Cottage was totally refurbished in 2012. Previously it had been semi-derelict and used as a garage and store room since 1967. We have tastefully and sympathetically brought it up to the very high standards expected by our guests. The tiled floor downstairs features underfloor heating, which makes the lounge cosy on the coldest of days. Our fully fitted kitchen provides everything that you need during your stay, including a full sized cooker, a dishwasher and a washing machine incorporating a tumble drier. We have hand made oak door throughout the property, and solid oak floors upstairs. The bathroom features a free-standing, double ended bath tub for a long relaxing soak, along with an electric shower for alternative bathing.
