Perfect for the kids
Booked to stay for 1 night after a trip to Alton Towers. It's a shame we didn't stay for longer as the kids absolutely loved it - particularly the garden which was packed with things for them to do, including a zip line. Would definitely recommend for families and groups of friends with kids.

Fantastic
Booked for a relaxing hen do for me and friends - we were not disappointed The host showed us round and how to use the hot tub which was the main reason for booking. We all had a go on the zip line in the garden which was great. Brilliant for children and adults as there is so much to do and the house is so well laid out. I would definitely recommend it

Amazing place!
Stayed at squirrel barn as a group of 11 adults for my 40th birthday. What an amazing place! Communication was brilliant throughout the whole process. David met us when we arrived and was so helpful and friendly. The accommodation was perfect, it had everything we needed and more! Everyone felt at home, really enjoyed the hot tub and there were plenty of beds, towels, etc for everyone. Such a relaxed and fun place to stay. We cant wait to return with our children as we know they will absolutely love it too! If you are considering staying here, definitely do it, you wont be disappointed!

40th Birthday Celebration
The cottage is quirky and ideal for a group of friends to celebrate together. Prior to checking in, David could not have been more helpful, answering every question and arranging for some of us to get there early and decorate the house. We had a fab time relaxing in the hot tub and chatting around the huge table listening to music. I would definitely recommend Squirrel Barn to others.

Tony's 60th
The location was amazing. The property needs a good deep clean to get rid of cob webs, food spilage in the freezer and dusty skirting boards. The property does not have a bedroom with twin beds they are twin mattresses on the floor behind a curtain. The hot tub was dirty and not sure had H&S checks so didnt use it. The garden needed weeding and the grass cutting. The owner was very helpful and really goodxat tesponding to questions.

Lovely stay and great value for money
We had a party of 11 and the property was perfect, plenty of beds and facilities. The zip line was great fun. Our hosts were helpful, friendly, and informative. The relatively short distance to Alton Towers was handy too. And to top it all off I thought the price was very reasonable. We would love to stay again 😊

Great place with so much to do
The property is a great location for families of all ages. There are more toys, games and outdoor activities than you could imagine. The zip wire was a firm favourite for all ages. The host is very responsive to messages and goes out of the way to support which is great to see. Only caveat is the sofa bed is not the most comfortable (and for the second night we arranged mattresses on the floor to overcome this). All in all a great place which keeps the children entertained so the grown-ups can have a good catch-up.
