We rented both cottages for our wedding at The Ashes in July. The cottages were fantastic- everything is brand new and feels homely yet luxurious! Our whole bridal party and my family stayed here for 2 days and our only regret is that we didn't get enough time to enjoy the cottages. Donna was great with organising everything and the welcome pack was also brilliant.
Couple of (very minor) recommendations for improving the cottages:
1. A hook on the front of the bathroom door would be very welcome in the ensuite room for the bride's dress the night before the wedding (there is only one on the inside of the door which means the bathroom door has to be open to hang the dress).
2. My bridesmaids found the main bathroom shower slightly difficult to manoeuvre to wash hair etc. as it is a hand held- perhaps a holder would be useful?
3. An ipod dock would be brilliant- I had prepared music for the morning of my wedding and then realised I hadn't brought the dock with me to play it so a dock would be great to play music from.
All of these things were seriously minor and would just help build on the already brilliant experience we had at the cottages. Definitely stay here!

This place was fabulous, decorated to a very high standard and everything was new, the place was clean and the facilities were great. We used this as a base to travel to Alton Towers which is a bout 15 miles away and it worked very well. I would highly recommend and would definitely go back. The owners couldn't be more helpful. Thank you, Kerry
We choose rose cottages due to the close proximity to our wedding venue, The Ashes. The cottages were beautiful, they have been renovated to a high standard, with everything that you may need. We booked both cottages for a long weekend for our close family, this worked perfectly and gave us time before and after the wedding to relax and socialise. Overall a perfect addition to our wedding.
