Freshwinds Reviews

Charlotte

We went to Freshwinds for a large family Christmas. Loads of space and something to entertain everyone. The bedrooms were great sizes and very well looked after, the living areas were cosy and homely. The extra effort made for our family was lovely, Christmas lights everywhere and presents under the tree. We were worried beforehand about lack of fridgefreezer space to accommodate 13 of us, but there are extra appliances dotted about. A night out in Newcastle under Lyme only cost 20 back in an uber. The nearby Coop.was well used. So many little quirky extras to this place, we loved it

Very comfortable house with everything you need, we were a party aged 1 to 60, made good use of the hot tub and a couple of people even braved the pool despite temps of 4 outside. The decorations lit up the house outside and inside making it feel very much like Christmas. Walked to Loggerheads for a meal which took around 20mins and would recommend a visit to Trentham Gardens, well worth the admission fee with a number of shops at the entrance to the gardens too.

Stayed here for a week at end of September with family members ranging from ages 579. The weather wasnt particularly nice, quite a lot of rain so unfortunately children couldnt enjoy the garden as much as they would have liked. BUT it didnt stop anybody enjoying the pool & the hot tub, both very nice & warm. The indoor sporty facilities were used & thoroughly enjoyed. The rooms & facilities were clean & comfortable if a little dated in places. Plenty big enough for our family party of 11. Maybe lacking in another bathroom & would have been great to have had an outdoor shower & toilet. But, all in all an extremely enjoyable break. Thank you.

Great location and house. So many facilities and things to keep you entertained at the property! Would stay again

Mohammad

Lovely house was enjoyed by the whole family. Host was super helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Furnishings and decor require updating. Kitchen units need attention as do some torn and ripped carpets. Hot water was not always available.

Dated, but very clean, great facilities x

Carina

Lovely house perfect for our stay. We were a party of 11 adults with 8 children 5 of which were in travel cots so plenty of room for all! The house was clean well equipped and we had a great fun. The pool was a bit too cold for us to use in the weather we had but clean and wellaibtained would be fab in summer. The hot tub was well appreciated as was the darts and ping pong area. Garden was massive and spanned several areas which was great for an Easter egg hunt and the football pitch was also well used by the young and adult boys. Thanks to the hosts for an easy and pleasant stay including returning items left behind!

We had a lovely stay at Fresh winds, friends travelled from all over the country and it was easy to get to. Great facilities and lots of room. The house is a little bit dated but that didn't impact on our stay at all.

Outstanding facilities for leisure activities, very spacious and comfortable ... Outstanding facilities for leisure activities, very spacious and comfortable the only minor draw back is there are only three bathrooms with one being ensuite Highly recommended for family weekend

We went here for a belated 30th birthday get together with family and we couldnt of asked for a more perfect property. It had everything you could ask for, the hot tub & pool was such a treat and the lights outside made it even more special,The location was stunning and so peaceful, lots of special memories were made here that well remember for a long time. Thank you!

George

We were four families and stayed for the weekend. All the boys aged 10 had a fantastic time and made full use of all the facilities including the games rooms, pool and hot tub. We too thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the house comfortable and clean. We were 13 people in total and the only downside was the hot water run out fairly quickly, so a few of us had to have cold showers and the heating didnt seem to work all the time. This did not however take away from our experience and we will def be looking to book again in the future.

Tracey

This place was amazing every think you need. We will definitely be returning

Jeffrey

Freshwinds was an absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Lots of room and lots to do. From the pool table to the football table, to the heated outdoor pool that isn't small! About 8ft deep at one end and a comfortable maybe 4 ft at the other, plenty of room for lots of fun!, to the amazing hot tub, which comfortably sat 5! to the extensive gardens where there is always something to see, to the football pitch, to the selection of games both indoors and in the summer house too. There is also the karaoke, another nice addition, although we didn't use it, it was nice to know it was there. Comfortable beds, beautiful views. Amazing. My words of advice to anyone is this, please be aware, it is based on a hill, which is quite steep. Also, there are a fair few steps, so please bear that in mind...But honestly, once in, I only popped out for supplies and we spent the whole week there relaxing and enjoying the house! Stephen then maintenance gentleman, popped by most days, just to make sure all was OK, and the gardener came most days to upkeep the garden, but we rarely saw him, if we did he was helpful and kind. The biggest issue we had was the fridge, as it simply wasn't big enough or working well enough, for the size of the house. There is an extra American fridge freezer in the shed by the pool, but, not practical for food for the kitchen all the way through the house. I'm hoping this gets sorted as that was the only major issue we had. I can highly reccomend this stunning house to anyone. Thank you for letting us enjoy it! I'm hoping to return in the future.

Freshwinds was a lovely holiday home in a lovely quiet area. We had views of fields with horses and rabbits every morning. There were 5 families altogether and there was plenty of space for everyone. Great choices for entertainment with TVs with Sky and Netflix, karaoke, table tennis, game consoles, football, trampoline and toys for kids. The hot tub was kept on throughout and they came to clean it during the stay so we could make good use of it, which we did It was a little cold when we stayed but we were able to use the pool a couple of days as the heated aspect took the edge of. The inflatables provided were a nice touch and gratefully appreciated by the kids. We went on some country walks and visited Tretham Monkey forest nearby which is a must. However most of the time we spent relaxing at the house as there was so much to do and the main reason we had come. The staff who look after the house and gardens are extremely friendly and helpful. They even came to help us diagnose a car issue wed had on the way up and recommended local garages for us. Our only negative was we felt their should be more towels provided considering the hot tub and pool but as long as you pack some extra towels youll be fine as there is a washing machine and tumble dryer available. Would definitely consider booking again!

Amazing family stay at Freshwinds. We were so lucky with the weather so made full use of the pool, hot tub, BBQ please provide matches or a lighter for this though, had to ask the gardener!. Karaoke machine was a big hit, as were the Xboxes and tons of tellies for the children! Would benefit from a bigger fridge and indoor recycling bins but we were very happy with our choice of holiday house. Thanks to Steve for showing us around when we arrived, very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic house,one of the best we have rented from Sykes. A big thankyou to Steve and his team were really helpful,sorting out quickly the small problems we had. Pool a real hit with the family as well as the table tennis table. Had a super meal at the Peel Inn, real home cooked food, and within walking distance of the house. Hope to return soon.

We all had a brilliant stay at Fresh Winds, it's a beautiful house with everything you need for your stay, would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for a Hen weekend & had a lovely time. The house has amazing space inside & out. The only reason I've not given it a 5 star is the towels do need to be abit bigger & please buy a better hoover as the one you have is way to small for the size of the house. Overall I would recommend this property to others. Thankyou

Yvette

It is a lovely property but very difficult to find unless you have spoken to Steve or Rob who will then tell you the better directions to put in your satnav to find the property. Steve and Rob are both very approachable. The property is ideal for a multigeneration family holiday. Helped by really good weather we were all able to make full use of the pool, hot tub, table tennis and the fabulous gardens.

We have just spent a week with family at the property, the rooms were spacious and comfy, with pretty balconies. Inside space was good and plenty of room for us all to sit and eat together, The outside space was better than we thought, the pool was heated perfectly, along with the hot tub which both got used by everyone all ages. The hosts were helpful and waiting for us when we arrived, would return.

It was a great to have such a great place for holiday and everything was there ... It was a great to have such a great place for holiday and everything was there I would say 5star and mr steave and his wife so great and they eat there when we need them

Matthew

The house was exceptional. The house is sat so high up. The views are incredible. Balconies in the main rooms are are a sun spot, sky on basically all rooms. The outside entertainment area is amazing, swimming pool, hot tub, outside fridges for drinks, BBQs and an incredible summer house with sky inside. Were so glad we found this house. Its so difficult to find places these days for groups of friends but this place was perfect and Stephen was the perfect host.

A perfect large house for family and friends to get together for a staycation The highlight to this property is the outside space. There are lots of little hidden corners to explore. The pool and hot tub are both in good condition and were used constantly throughout our stay. Both being heated made then accessible even on cooler days. Bring your own pool towels. Overall the garden area gets top marks. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. However there are a few issues that need addressing. The house needs a good declutter as well as the kitchen draws and cupboards a good clear out and clean. The dishwasher could do with repairing or replacing but does work. Instructions are needed for the TVs, DVDs, XBox etc as well as again a good clear out of remotes, batteries, spare wires etc. This is the reason I havent rate top marks overall. However we honestly we had a fantastic time and made use of the local pub, Lodge India and walks in the surrounding area..

We were a group of 15 and have just spent 4 days at Freshwinds and we had a brilliant time to be honest we did have the hottest week of the year so far so the pool was well used. The house is lovely, very spacious and well equipped. The pool house fridge was a god send for cold drinks and ice creams. There are smart TVs in all the rooms with sky and Netflix. The beds were very comfortable, and the rooms are good sizes. The gardens are just beautiful and very well maintained, Ken the gardener, was lovely and turned up most days to potter about, but we rarely saw him and he certainly didnt bother us. Any issues we had were quickly within the hour resolved by Steve the manager, who was great, nothing we asked of him was too much trouble. Theres a coop a couple of mins drive away, and a big Morrisons about 10 mins drive away. Can highly recommend The Peel Arms too, they were very accommodating and the food was delicious.
