Cottage vacation rentals in Greater Manchester

A hidden gem! We had a lovely long weekend here at the wonderful Stables - lots to do in the area, nice and peaceful with a range of local walks. Only 20 minutes on the train to Manchester - we will definitely be staying here again!

This was a fantastic little stay! The self check in made it easy and hassle free which after a 5 hour journey, was much appreciated. There was good parking to the side of the property which we made the most of. The place itself was incredibly clean, peaceful and all round beautiful in its simplicity. We were left some food essentials (wine (most important of course), eggs, milk, butter, bread etc) which is a small touch but so thoughtful. The hot tub was also left on which we jumped right into! And using it was easy to do and a real selling point after a day of hiking. Popular hikes are 25-45 minutes away by car which was more than manageable for us. Manchester was also accessible via train by a 10 minute car journey to the station and a 25 minute train journey- we did this from Hattersley. We even met the hosts who arrived just after we were checking out and both were absolutely lovely! Friendly, welcoming and incredibly receptive to us. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a lovely stay in glossop. The hosts were really helpful. We also were left with a really nice welcome pack with snacks and wine, which was a lovely touch. The hosts also turned on the hot tub for us even though it was out of season with a discounted additional fee and it was really appreciated. Thank you very much

11 adults and one dog visiting and we all had a lovely time. Everything in the house was well thought out from the amount of cutlery and crockery to setting out special towels for the dog upon arrival. The location is superb with gorgeous scenery and great walks but also with a local town with well known shops for supplies. The hot tubs were a great feature and the large TVs made enjoying ourselves very easy! Would definitely recommend and even stay again.

The Old Barn is spacious and comfortable - just watch for some low hanging lights if you are tall! The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking. The hot tub is great and the whole place is private. There is a narrow, steep track to get down to the lodges, but the roads and parking on the site itself are good.

Amazing place to stay, James was a great host throughout the process. Would recommend to anyone, only a 20 minute train to Manchester as well which is very convenient! 100% worth the money and would stay again. Thanks again, James.

We had a great time as a family of four. The hot tub was amazing with incredible views. Communication was great and the host replied promptly. Would stay again!

Lovely little place, very quiet and scenic. We enjoyed our stay and felt right at home!

A lovely rustic but modern house in a beautiful location. we only stayed 2 nights and we didn't want to leave. Sarah is a great host. Communication was great and very friendly. We felt right at home. The bedrooms were lovely and very comfortable. We would love to return in the future.

Outstanding cottage to stay, the place is immaculate and a great location. Communication was excellent throughout with great recommendations for local walks and restraunts. I have already shared details with a family member who is looking to book. Don't think twice about booking this place if it's available just do it. The bread, milk, butter, wine etc was a great touch too. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Lovely cottage, considerate host, as we were visiting family, it suited our needs perfectly and we were fortunate that Linda was able to extend our stay. Very peaceful area.

Really loved our stay it was great! The house had great facilities, lovely and cosy living room, great location for lots of walks! Just a tip to taller people staying make sure you bend going through the front door as my partner bumped his head a few times - all other doorways are fine :)

Richard’s place was perfect for a long weekend family getaway. The house is cosy and welcoming, with everything you need. The location is a great base to explore the surrounding countryside and in easy walking distance of several pubs and cafes in the centre of Delph. We would more than happily stay here again in the future.

Wow! an amazing beautiful place. The hosts Jill and Sean were fantastic right from the start. Very helpful, and any questions we had they were very quick to respond. Beautiful home, very clean and everything we needed. The welcome basket was a beautiful treat. The whole experience was wonderful. We felt very spoilt. Highly recommend. We will return, but we want to stay longer next time. Thank you Jill & Sean

Angela was a great host, and the property was lovely. In beautiful countryside and was very peaceful. We stayed for a nearby wedding and the location was perfect for that, and the dog sitting service was fab!

Delightful period property but had all the modern conveniences we could need. It's location allowed lovely walks along the Mersey and through nearby woods. There is also an excellent chippy close by. Steve and Maggie were very responsive to all our questions. When we had an issue with the heating they came round immediately to solve. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book again.

Clean, comfortable cottage with amazing views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Don't think twice , this is such a lovely place to stay, from the moment we pulled up and stepped in, we felt at home. A delish goodies basket filled with fresh eggs and all the other comforts of being home ..The lovely sweet garden and the little chooks a real delight. we recommend highly to other guests looking for a nice spot to stay.

This was our third trip to Hill Crest because it's just the best place to stay in the beautiful Yorkshire moors! The living space in the bungalow is so comfy and the views afforded across the valley are just breathtaking to wake up to every morning. The home is very very well equipped with everything you would expect from a well equipped airbnb - no need to pack everything from home which is a huge plus. As is now normal my boys were very sad to be leaving and we have promised them a fourth trip back up next year :)

Perfect location for a catch up with family. Cottage is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed and all the amenities we needed. Kat communicated clear access instructions before our arrival and the visitor’s guide had great recommendations for walks and highlights of the local area. We had a lovely few days, hope we can come back soon!

Liz’s cottage was the perfect place for our Easter break in the Peak District. It’s a lovely cosy cottage, well furnished and beautifully decorated, we felt right at home! Liz was proactive with her instructions and treated us to a little welcome basket and a couple bits to get us started in the fridge. I would highly recommend staying there if you are looking for a peaceful and central location in the Peak District!

We had a fab time staying with Kate and Adrian. The cottage was immaculate and stocked with all sorts of goodies, we felt right at home. In a great location in the village, close to a few pubs and restaurants and a village shop, and plenty of walks nearby. We can't wait to come back again soon, and hopefully tackle Kinder Scout!

Lovely cottage that was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed winter walks and coming back to the cottage and lighting the wood stove. Would definitely consider booking again.

Had a lovely few days over the weekend at Lisa’s retreat Beautifully decorated and everything you could need was there Great communication before we arrived Scenic walks nearby and just had an all round great weekend
