  • Me and my boyfriend stayed here October 2023, and it was amazing, such a magical location and so cozy! Was close to leek and a nice pub nearby, short walk to the roaches and beautiful walks and scenery. Highly recommend and will be definitely booking again, it will remain my favourite place to stay!

    "The cabin was great, really well equipped, and in such a lovely area. The hot tub was fantastic and located in the perfect spot for some privacy. I was really impressed with the cabin for the cost and will absolutely be back!"

  • "We had a lovely stay at Nicola’s place. The directions were very clear, making it easy to find and enter. The cabin itself is super cosy, and Nicole had thought of everything to make it a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It was within walking distance to a couple of hikes that we did, which was super ideal. There is a lovely pub very close too, which served delicious food. I would definitely recommend this place! 🙂"

  • "We stayed for 3 nights at the Pumphouse! It was a perfect relaxing and picturesque getaway! Surrounded by nature on all sides and phenomenal views, even in the wet February weather! The walks around Upper Hulme range from easy to hard, and there’s a bit of everything! The hut itself is spacious, and the log fire is the star of the show! Scrabble, record player (7’), puzzles, and cards were all perfect ways to get off screens and take some time to relax! The bed was so comfy, and they had included hot water bottles, which was such a lovely touch! The local pub up the road was friendly and reasonably priced, although it was also easy to make food in the kitchen at the Pumphouse! The bathroom was good, the shower was hot, and it was all clean! The garden is a highlight—so beautiful with wonderful solar-powered lights all around! Even in the cold weather, I sat out drinking my coffee as it was such a treat! Would 100% recommend! It takes you right out of the stress and busyness of everyday life and into nature!"

  • "Just as described, perfect little stay in the peace and quiet. Amazing host who explained everything before we arrived. Close by for walking in the peaks, with an amazing pub just a 2-minute walk away. Given we stayed in December and knew it would be cold, we were supplied with extra blankets, hot water bottles, and firewood, so we were nice and toasty. 100% recommend staying here!"

  • "Had an amazing stay for my anniversary. I had a wonderful stay at Nicola's cabin on Airbnb. Her clear instructions made it easy to find, and she provided excellent guidance on using the amenities. The flexible self-check-in option added a lot of convenience to my experience. The location itself was picturesque and conveniently located, making it easy to go to Manchester and other nearby attractions. Nicola was quick to respond and truly enhanced my getaway. Would certainly recommend!"

  • "Absolutely gorgeous place! I spent a couple of days there for my birthday with my partner in a beautiful, rural area. Everything was as described, and the hut had everything you need—lovely and clean. The stove was easy to use, and the BBQ in the garden was just lovely to sit outside. The ford next to the drive was a beautiful touch—so peaceful and lovely to look at. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful. There are some lovely walks up The Roaches with beautiful views, and we tried the Roaches Tea Room and Restaurant, which had stunning views, and the Three Horseshoes for a delicious roast dinner. Overall, the experience was amazing, and I highly recommend it for a cosy getaway!"
