This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

The Foxes Den is a well-received cottage in the Peak District & Derbyshire Dales, offering a peaceful and quiet stay with a comfortable setting. Guests appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, the friendly locals, and the thoughtful touches like a welcome hamper. While parking is not directly at the property, it's compensated by the cottage's charm and nearby amenities.

Cleanliness

The cottage is generally praised for its cleanliness, with guests finding it very clean and of good quality. One mention of a slightly dirty sink and draining board on arrival slightly lowers the score.

The location is highly regarded for its peacefulness, quietness, and proximity to local amenities and countryside. The lack of on-site parking is noted, but spots are available a short walk away.

Comfort

Guests find the cottage comfortable and welcoming, with special mentions of a comfy bed and the ability to enjoy warm evenings outside. The comfort of the cottage contributes to its overall appeal.

Facilities

Facilities are generally good, with everything needed for a stay. However, one guest noted a lack of kitchen utensils, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

Thoughtfulness

The owners are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly with the welcome hamper. It should be noted that such gestures are appreciated but may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Resting in the Staffordshire village of Tean, just a short drive away from the Peak District National Park, is The Foxes Den, a delightful end-of-terrace property. This pet-friendly abode offers two guests a homely interior, a private courtyard, and a prime position near a host of amenities, whilst within reach of Alton Towers Theme Park, and the bustling city of Stoke-on-Trent. Park up nearby and head into The Foxes Den, starting off in the kitchen, which is well-equipped to ease your self-catered stay, with the addition of a washing machine to keep on top of your holiday clothes. Head outdoors to enjoy meals upon the bistro set, or discover the living/dining room, also home to a Smart TV, electric effect woodburning stove, and a plush sofa to relax from. Complete your nightly routine in the bathroom, which features both a bath and shower, before making yourself at home in the spacious king-size bedroom. Come morning, prepare for a day of adventure, starting off with a hike across Tean Hills, a visit to Kingsley Bird & Falconry Centre, discover the Peak Wildlife Park, or cross the border into the national park to tour Reynards Cave, followed by a nature-filled trek across the surrounding landscape. The family-friendly attraction of Alton Towers is within driving distance, where you can expect an afternoon of fun and adrenaline, whilst Wootton Lodge, a grand 17th century country house, and Beamhurst Museum are both perfect for exploring if you're interested in history. Reaching Stoke-on-Trent, be spoilt for choice when selecting your next activity, where you can enjoy a leisurely day out at Longton Park, explore the 725 acres of gardens, woodlands, shops and eateries at Trentham Estate, or venture towards The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery for exhibits of fine art and ceramics. Spend quality time with The Foxes Den as your base.

South-east of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England, is a sizable village called Tean. The settlement is traversed by the River Tean as it flows eastward toward Uttoxeter. The village is made up of Upper Tean, which is the larger of the two, and Lower Tean, which are both located in the Staffordshire Moorlands district's Checkley ward. The southern end of the Peak District is only a short drive away, and the surrounding area is primarily rural and agricultural. Three churches, a village hall, several bars and stores, nurseries, and a small park are all present. Stoke on Trent, located farther away, is home to numerous tourist centres, award-winning museums, real factory tours, more than 25 pottery factory shops, and the prestigious Staffordshire Hoard.
