Cheshire self catering holiday cottages
Originally part of an 18th century stone barn, Clough Brook
Cottage has been sympathetically converted to self-catering accommodation of an
exceptionally high standard.
Located in a peaceful valley yet only 20 minutes away from Leek, Buxton and
Macclesfield, the cottage is the perfect base from which to explore the unspoilt
scenery of the Peak District National Park and the many attractions of Cheshire
and Staffordshire. And some of the most magnificent walking country in Britain
is right on your doorstep.
In virtually every direction, the cottage has stunning views of the Dane Valley
and surrounding hills. Authentically simple and rustic from the outside, inside
the accommodation is bright and colourful, tastefully furnished and equipped
with all the home comforts you could want, whatever time of year you choose to
stay.
As well as being the perfect spot for a holiday, Clough Brook Cottage can also be let on a short break or longer term basis. So if you would like a weekend or an extended stay with us in any season, please do get in touch.
Subject to availability we will offer you lower prices than published on long lets - so if you are moving house, have a business contract in the area or have any other reason for needing temporary high-quality accommodation, check with us.

Although Wincle feels like a long way from anywhere, it’s actually only minutes away from the local towns of Macclesfield, Buxton, Congleton and Leek which, between them, have all the shops and services you might need.
There is a great selection of eating and drinking places in the area serving local beers and freshly prepared food. We will be happy to book tables at local pubs or restaurants, and trout fishing at the local trout lake. You can let us know if you would like a delivery of papers and milk.
Shopping
Groceries can be bought at the Sutton Post Office (4 miles) or in Macclesfield
or Buxton (Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S etc – 6 miles). Tesco and Waitrose (through
Ocado) also deliver locally – if you have an account already you could set up a
delivery before you leave home.
There are also regular farmers’ markets in the surrounding area, including Butterlands Farm in Wincle every second Saturday in the month with a lot of organic and local produce, fresh fish from the trout farm and home-made ice cream from Blaze Farm just up the road.
Eating out
There is a wide variety of eating places within a walk or short drive from Clough Brook Cottage.
The Ship Inn in Danebridge, Wincle is the nearest local, and most definitely the best. It tends to be in all the major good pub guides and so can be busy, so it’s worth booking a week in advance for weekends, and 2 or 3 days for weekdays. It serves a good range of guest beers and excellent food.
The Cragg Inn Just a mile from the cottage in the hamlet of Wildboarclough – ideal for lunch after a walk through the beautiful valley.
The Wild Boar Inn On the Congleton to Buxton road less than five minutes from us, where they serve good food and beers.
The Hanging Gate Inn Beautifully situated high up on the moors between Wincle and Macclesfield with panoramic views over the Cheshire Plain - serves great food, wines and beers.
Macclesfield A wide selection of restaurants including European, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Spanish tapas and Mexican.
Leek A quite special Indian restaurant (Bolaka Spice) good for vegetarian dishes, No.64 has an excellent reputation for modern innovative cooking in beautiful surroundings, and also a coffee shop and wine bar. Café Davide offers modern Mediterranean food in a stylish setting, and there is also a Belgian beer bar and restaurant, Den Engel.
The Swan in Leek has regular major folk music acts in the function room (Dylan Project, Fairport Convention etc.) for afters.
Alderley Edge Our favourite, the Wizard, right on the Edge, and Est Est Est, a bustling Italian.
Wilmslow A profusion of wine bars and casual eating places including a Japanese restaurant.
