The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for The Green Man. Verbatim.
Our extended family ranging from 1 - 75 years old stayed at the Green Man for a long weekend. The bedrooms and bathroom were amazing giving everyone their own space and privacy with comfortable beds and lots of bathrooms. The living space worked perfectly. We spent time in the bar, all eating together, playing games and relaxing. It worked perfectly. Sadly the weather was terrible so we couldn't explore much but we will have to visit again.
Great place for a friend and family stay. Huge house which is situated in lovely surroundings.
I had a great experience using Peak Venues to firstly source an appropriate venue for our Sales Meeting and overnight stay. The communication was excellent and they suggested three venues that all looked fantastic. They also helped me arrange a lunch delivery for our two-day meeting which was greatly received. The Green Man venue itself was great and the host Louise was always on hand to answer the phone and support if needed. The Green Man had everything we needed and we had a great time! If I ever had requirements in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to book via Peak Venues again. 5 star!
Cracking venue and made for a wonderful weekend, highly recommend.
I think this is something like the sixteenth different Peak Venues property we have used for work away days, and this was one of the best. I'd never chosen The Green Man previously but we were delighted with the open plan, choice of rooms, great working collaboration space, breakout areas, and outside space. Great BBQ in the evening, more than enough utensils, crockery and fridge space (as there is still the remaining bar from when the site was a pub!) Great stay. Thanks as always.
Amazing venue for large groups. We had the best weekend at The Green Man, the pub is just fantastic and great for socialising and having a huge group get together. The fact that every room has en suites is a huge bonus, the rooms are spacious and bright and great that towels and toiletries are supplied. Can highly recommend booking The Green Man.
We had a fabulous stay for my partners 40th birthday. It was was ideal for a large group, had great facilities and the bar inside was amazing :) All the staff from start to finish we great, super helpful and responsive. Would definitely recommend!
We all had a wonderful time together and made lots of happy memories! The beds were very comfortable and the bedroom layouts worked perfectly for us.
Great, thanks. Really enjoyed it and the house was great.
Thank you for facilitating our stay at the Green Man. Louise Cliff was very welcoming and made our visit, arrival and departure very easy for us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your work at Peak Venues. We thoroughly enjoyed your visit and that every element of our time there will live on in our family memories.
Just wanted to say that it couldn’t have been a better stay. The property is fantastic. It still holds the feel of a pub and the rooms are amazing. Everyone who stayed thought it was just brilliant.
Thanks for a fantastic stay at the Green Man, the venue was great!
We all had a fabulous time at the Greene Man. Such a fantastic venue - we will definitely be coming back again! Thanks for everything
Lovely venue and accommodation. Perfect for a large family get together.
Perfect place for a large group. There was 30 of us….adults, children and dogs. The rooms a simple, clean and linens are great quality. The whole venue is perfect for entertaining. Massive kitchen with plenty of oven space. The dining area seated us all perfectly. We got external catering in for the Saturday night which was amazing! The bar area and pool room were SPOT ON! Felt like our own little pub just without unwanted people in it. haha Communication with the hosts was great too. Would 100% recommend.
We have just had a lovely weekend at the green man near leek. Every year we go on a large family holiday there is 32 of us adults, kids and dogs. The green man had catered for everything, it had a fully equipped kitchen including kids bowls/plates etc, two dishwashers, washing machine, two fridges, loads of work space. Lovely garden and outside seating. (The only thing I would suggest they change was the drum bbq as it's falling apart) This property is not short of space, rooms are all decent sizes and the property is fully enclosed so no need to worry about kids and dogs! The whole place was clean and tidy when we arrived. Louise was on hand for any questions and very helpful. Everyone in the group said this was the best accommodation by far from all the trips we have been on! We will definitely be booking with peak venues again! Thank you for a great mini break!
Many thanks for all your help in booking our stay at The Green Man. We all thoroughly enjoyed it, it's a super venue which fully catered to our needs, both children and adults had a great time. We'd certainly look to stay there again in the future!
The Green Man was a really great venue for our family reunion and we were blessed with lovely sunny weather.
Had an amazing time!!! Will be coming back again.
The venue was perfect for us. Everyone had a great time. Tracey was very helpful in the run up. The cottage kitchen cafe and Indian over the road were both great for food also.
Great property, will be coming back (again) and Peak Venues are always a pleasure to deal with
Perfect stay, cannot recommend peak venues enough
No everything was great.
I just wanted to write and thank you for the fabulous weekend we have just spent at The Green Man in Leek. Catering for 23 people is difficult enough but The Green Man was the best decision – we loved pretending to own our own pub and everyone took it in turns to pull a pint (great Whim Ales!) or a gin and tonic. The space was great with a fab dining area and kitchen big enough and so well stocked. It was lovely that the bedrooms were all similar size so no fighting and with the majority being en-suite, everyone was happy. I would like to thank a few of the recommendations you made. The Dinner Party Company were amazing – I would highly recommend them to any future clients – food was delicious and the service amazing. Clear Sky Events ran an amazing Sports Day for us all day on Saturday – Alan was so flexible and I was delighted with the day. Having recommendations in your pack was so helpful so thank you… just wanted to let you know that Cloves the Indian Restaurant no longer exists – it is now Mehek, which means your directions and Places to Eat will need updating! Thank you again for a really fantastic stay – we loved it.
We had a wonderful time and the property is amazing. It was so clean and tidy and the equipment and contents so good. It was a trip down memory lane for some of us as we were raised in Endon which is so close and a few of us had a small family expedition to it!! What a super part of Britain it is. We hope to be able to arrange another visit before too long
Fantastic service and venue was perfect for our needs.
The Green Man was extremely well-equipped for a large group like ours. Lovely fresh bedding and towels provided too. An excellent venue which we would recommend highly.
I also wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team. The weekend was a fantastic success and largely down to the venue. It was perfect for the group. The facilities were exceptional, the service and follow up from Peak venues was spot on.
The stay at the house was fab. Plenty of space for all our group and we hired in cateres from Sloans catering, as after some research, they were the best rated local caters and they were incredible! The bedrooms were all a good size.
Perfect accommodation for our family get together with all my family. We had a wonderful weekend and highly recommend the Green Man. Tracey made us very welcome, was very helpful and informative. We look forward to returning in the future. Many thanks.
Thanks so much with all the help with the organising! I will definitely recommend you to others,
Lovely venues, perfect for get togethers with family friends. Everything works really well and all very helpful.
The Green Man was a fantastic venue, everyone had a great time and everything worked out well. Scoffs and Whim Ales were spot on. Tracey was very kind and helpful. We are looking for next year now as my wife is 50 and you've just got to have a pub in the place, focal point for everyone!!!
I would also like to say what a wonderful time we had at The Green Man. A lovely place to celebrate my 50th year with friends. The high standard of the venue was excellent. Tracey was very helpful too. We shall definitely be coming back to another venue soon.
Absolutely delighted with the service received and the venue and have already recommended Peak Venues to other colleagues across our company and hope to be using you again soon for my own team!
We loved it. It was perfect. Thanks!
We had a great weekend, and everyone was impressed with the property, especially the kitchen, and the bar area! We had loads of fun.
We had a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves over the weekend - so much so that we are looking to book again!! On top of that I wanted to say a great big thank you to Tracey who showed me round last week and then also welcomed everyone on Friday.. She was absolutely grand and made us all feel like we were in very good hands.
We had a great stay at the Green man where 29 family and friends celebrated my 60th birthday. The property is super clean,very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. Tracey was very helpful in explaining how everything worked. The layout downstairs is a series of linked rooms, which meant that there were plenty of spaces for everyone to spread out and not feel cramped. The bedrooms are spacious, uncluttered and the beds very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property.
We had a great stay at the Green Man and there's already talk of booking our family weekend away for 2018 for this time next year back with you!
We really enjoyed our visit to The Green Man (again!) and appreciated how clean and tidy it was when we arrived – Tracey does a great job and is most helpful.
Thanks to all at peak venues. Everyone loved the place and it couldn’t have been better. Will look to stay again when an opportunity arises.
We had an amazing time at the Green Man, couldn't fault the property or the service of the staff in the lead up to our stay. You made a difficult job of organising it very easy for me! The property was fabulous and I will write a review for you on trip advisor. We would really like to book again so fingers crossed we will be in touch in the future!
Thanks again. We had a lovely stay. Beautiful accommodation
Thanks so much, we had a really wonderful time and will certainly be booking with peak venues again at some point
What an amazing weekend we all had at The Green Man, such a special place with all its quirkiness for celebrations with family. My Son loved running the bar, serving drinks for all the family.
We had a fabulous time and can't wait to do it again. Your team were very helpful
The venue was fantastic - everyone had a great time, thank you.
We had a wonderful weekend at the Green Man, the venue was perfect for us! Everyone was saying how brilliant the accommodation was. Thanks for being so efficient, making the booking process so easy and sending lots of information through to us prior to our stay.
Dear Peak Venues Team We had a fantastic weekend at the Green Man. We were very impressed with the quality of the accommodation, how well it was equipped and how helpful Tracey was in explaining the property and helping us to get the DVD players working. Thank you all.
We had an absolutely first class weekend and I will be more than happy to add to the glowing reviews I’m sure you’ve already received
We had a great weekend at the Green Man, thank you! Tracey was also very friendly and helpful and the venue was very clean and modern. Our favourite was the bar with drinks fridges available; made it feel like we had our own pub for the weekend!
Thank you we had a lovely stay at the Green Man. It was perfect for us and we hope to come back another time!
The stay was amazing thank you. We all had a great time. Once again, thanks very much for a great stay.
We had a fabulous time at the Green Man!
Thanks for a terrific stay.
We absolutely loved our stay.
We all had a great time at the Green Man a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely no complaints about the property at all.
We had a great time thanks.
I would just like to take this opportunity to say what a wonderful venue you have and it was perfect for our weekend. Also I would like to say that Tracey was extremely helpful right from the moment we checked in throughout the weekend and right up until the point we checked out. I have 34 women urging me to book out the venue again for next year. The whole booking and payment process was made extremely easy by the peak venue staff and I just wanted to thank you. The Green Man is an amazing venue and completely exceeded not only mine but all 34 of our expectations.
We had an absolutely wonderful weekend with our friends and children. The Green Man was the perfect size and had excellent facilities
We had a truly wonderful time. The Green Man was absolutely perfect for our group. Now that there are tons of children running around it is really hard to find somewhere that can suit both the adults and the little ones but this place was just right. The ability to pour our own pints from the bar was a real highlight too. I am sure that everyone will want to book it again next year.
Thank you for a brilliant time
There were 14 adults, 10 children and 2 dogs celebrating Christmas and a 70th birthday at The Green Man. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough - beautifully clean, warm, and with a very well equipped kitchen. Whim Ales supplied a cask of beer which was so good that it ran out sometime on Boxing Day and the bar area was the gathering point of an evening for carols, billiards, darts and silly games. Waitrose delivered a huge food order from Leek, and the 2 range cookers, each with a double oven were indispensable on Christmas Day. A truly wonderful time was had by all, with lots of happy memories.
We had an absolutely fantastic weekend at The Green Man and I will have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation and Peak Venues to friends and family
We really enjoyed our stay, a beautiful part of the world and the cottage had everything we need. The pub is such a focal point!
The Green Man was a fabulous venue and was everything we expected and more!
We have just returned home from our weekend at The Green Man with our family of 27 ( age range 5-76 years) to celebrate our 50th Birthdays. We had a wonderful weekend , everyone enjoyed the facilities at the venue. It had everything needed for a really enjoyable stay. All the bedrooms are very comfortable, the kitchen is fabulous as is the dining room , lounge and bar area which makes the place a bit different and certainly got our party started. The Green Man exceeded our expectations! We had an Indian take-away from Cloves on Friday which was very good and self-catered the rest of the weekend. The keg of beer went down very well and pulling our own pints was a treat! We visited Ilam Park, walked to Dovedale stepping stones and up Thorpe Cloud and also ran and cycled along the Manifold trail. All were great. Thank you to all at Peak Venues who made the booking process and everything involved in our celebrations so straight forward and easy. We would certainly recommend the Green Man to anyone wanting to organise a large group get together or holiday.
Thank you for your e-mail below and yes we did thoroughly enjoy our stay at the Green Man. Tracey was extremely helpful when we arrived and with a couple of minor issues during the weekend.
As for a review.... we absolutely loved it. We had 32 of us in total, adults, teens, kids and babies, celebrating my 30th birthday. We all had ample space, everything we could possibly need for our stay and more. Tracey was most helpful and even showed up to give us some milk in case we hadn't got any!! We arranged a food shop to be delivered when we arrived and had more than enough kitchen space for it all. Whim ales was fantastic and the ale was ready to pour when we all arrived. More than enough cots, beds, highchairs etc. Everyone absolutely loved it. We had a takeaway from the Indian restaurant down the road which was delicious, and walked it off at the reservoir not too far away the next morning. I can not wait to book again! Thanks so much.
Just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had over the weekend. The Green Man is an exceptional venue and we had compliments from all our guests. Tracey was a an absolute star and so helpful so want to send a BIG thank you to Tracey. Many thanks we had the best time ever!!
The Green Man was a great property and Tracey (the Housekeeper) is a credit to your company.
We have all had an excellent weekend at the Green Man, to celebrate my mum and dads 60th wedding anniversary. The place is amazing, well equipped and Tracey who met us was excellent.
Everybody had a great time and thought the Green Man was a great venue for my 60th.
Thank you very much for your email. We all had a fantastic weekend and can honestly say the feedback on the venue was nothing but positive! Thank you again. We will definitely recommend Peak Venues and I am sure we will stay with you again.
We had a fabulous time thank you. The accommodation was ideal for our group
Had a fabulous time at the Green Man, everyone had such a good weekend catching up and letting the kids all meet up. Would definitely hope to book it again but might let someone else organise it next time!
Thanks for the email, our stay was great thanks
Thanks for the use of the property for the weekend, we used it as a base for our wedding weekend. our guests loved it and it was great to spend the night before and the morning after with our guests.
We had a great time during our stay at the Green Man, and would like to say how great Tracy, the housekeeper, was during our stay also.
We had an excellent weekend at the Green Man, the venue was spotlessly clean and everything we needed to make it a great weekend was to hand. all our family and friends that were there commented on how good it was and they all enjoyed it and we didn't have one complaint. We will certainly be booking another weekend with you. Tracey was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her and she looked after us very well, as you did and all the staff that I dealt with
We had an amazing weekend the venue was perfect
Thank you so much for a great weekend... particularly to Tracey.
Regarding our stay at The Green Man - it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We were there to celebrate a 50th Anniversary and had a wide age range of guests from 2 years old to 100 years old! From the initial contact I made with the company in February I have only positive experiences to report. The pictures on the website are a true reflection of the property's high standard. All the facilities and equipment provided have been well thought out and we did not require anything extra. Tracey, the housekeeper, made us feel very welcome on arrival; even providing us with milk to make a drink as soon as we arrived. She remained contactable all weekend in case of an emergency. The house was warm, comfortable and large enough to accommodate 40 people. All the rooms were clean and laid out as we had requested. There was an area of water damage in room 12 due to recent roof leakage, but this is due to be repaired. Plenty of shower gel and handwash provided and lovely fluffy white towels. Bathrooms were all clean and in good working order. In the kitchen there was plenty of working space, large pots and pans, serving dishes, crockery and cutlery. The fridge and freezer space was large enough to accommodate 3 days of food for 40 people and there was also ample storage space for cereals, tins etc.. Having child friendly crockery was an unexpected bonus. All the communal areas - dining room, sitting room and bar area were well used throughout our stay. The pool table and darts board were a definite hit! Even though the grassed area was wet, we managed to use the large car park for a game of cricket (bat and stumps provided). Overall a wonderful venue with superb facilities that helped us make a truly memorable 50th anniversary weekend for our family. I am sure that this is not the last time we will be booking with Peak Venues; we will all be recommending The Green Man to other friends and family! Once again, thanks for everything
Thank you we had a wonderful stay.
It is a fabulous venue for a big group of families
We had a fabulous weekend in a fabulous venue; the whole set up with the bar area was ideal.
We had a fantastic time at The Green Man
Our weekend was fabulous. Thanks so much and particularly thanks to Tracey and her team. We will be back!
The venue was great and everyone had an amazing time. Already looking at booking again.
We visited The Green Man a year ago with the view to booking it for a long weekend for our family, friends and their (grown up) children to celebrate our 60th birthdays; we were hugely impressed with the whole setting and accommodation. So, moving on a year.........we, and 26 others had the most fantastic time one could imagine. The whole experience from start to finish was way beyond our (and our friends) expectations, from the quality of the rooms, the abundance of equipment in the kitchen, the fact that everything worked, the delivery and set up of the barrel of beer, the cleanliness of the whole building; just fantastic. Our guests didn't really know what to expect, and couldn't believe that we actually had a REAL pub for the whole weekend. We would like to make a special mention of Tracey; what a star! From when we had our first visit to when we left, nothing was too much trouble for her. She obviously takes great pride and pleasure from ensuring that people have a wonderful time. Brilliant! Although our visit was a one off experience, we would have no hesitation recommending The Green Man to others, and, indeed the younger members of our group were already talking about future 'get togethers'!
Just returned from celebrating a 90th birthday with 20 members of the family & 1 dog. Everyone had a fantastic time at the venue. From the warm welcome from Tracy the Housekeeper, the cosy warm rooms (snow outside but didnt even need to light log burner!), the well equiped kitchen, immaculate and comfortable bedrooms, relaxing lounge, large dining room to accomodate all the party at once to the the quirky bar areas allowing us all to be Landlords! (Get out of my pub!). Plenty of parking & outdoor space. Would definately recommend the Green Man for any large get together or party. Leek is only short drive with lots a supermarkets (found sainsburys, Morrisons. Waitrose, Asda, Aldi & CO-OP!!) nice market town with some quirky shops & market. On edge of peak district with great views!
Recently stayed at the Green Man for a long weekend to celebrate a 90th Birthday! Could not fault the place, it had everything we needed and more. Tracey the housekeeper provided a warm welcome and all the rooms were immaculate. We ordered a keg of beer which went down really well and added to the bar experience. Would recommend it for any type of celebration as plenty of room to accomodate a large party without feeling cramped. The bar provided a good meeting place and we all got to play Landlord! Lovely location with great views up to the Peak District
we all had such a great time at the Green Man and the facilities for a celebration are excellent.
Thanks for the email. We had a great time. It's a great place and really well kept. We would recommend it to anyone.
Hi there all first of all can I say a big thank you to you all at the Green Man we all had an amazing time it’s an amazing place we all can’t thank you enough. Our wedding went brilliantly well at the Ashes and then coming back to the Green Man afterwards and spending the day after to relax and reflect was perfect. Once again from the bottom of our hearts we would like to say a big thank you
Thank you. Our friends were very impressed with the house and are already talking about rebooking in the summer! The whole service has been very professional from initial booking right through to the visit itself.
Many thanks for giving us the opportunity to stay in The Green Man for a wonderful weekend! Everybody was amazed at the place as your website photos actually give it a smaller look!! It really did suit our party perfectly.
Yes we all had a great time. The Green Man was perfect and have already recommended to other friends.
Thank you – we had a super time, and I will provide comments/review. In particular tracy was fantastic and very helpful. I am sure we will be back!
We had a fabulous time last weekend. The venue was perfect for our group.
What a weekend!! This was a perfect venue for my wife's 40th birthday celebrations. We had friends and family aged from 1 to 75 this last weekend and they all had an amazing time. Loads of space for everyone to spread out, with the teenagers pretty much taking over the pool table and dart board. The bar area is fantastic with loads of room in the fridges. The beer on tap from Whim Ales was great, the first thing everyone wanted to do when they arrived was to have a go at pulling a pint. Kitchen is fantastic with loads of space and every thing you could ever need. The dining room was plenty big enough to fit us all in at feeding time! George's Fish and Chip Shop in Leek was perfect for the night of arrival, they coped very well with such a large order and the food was great. Bedrooms are fantastic, with loads of space and beds for everyone. Beds really comfy and bathrooms really nicely done. The garden is great with loads of space. We brought a football goal with us which went down really well with the kids. House keeper Tracy was fantastic and really helpful throughout our stay, even when one of our guests managed to lock themselves out of their bedroom. I would highly recommend, already planning our next visit!
We had a fabulous time at the Green Man, thank you
Many thanks, we all had an amazing time
We had the most fabulous time, already planning a return stay. Thank you! Huge thanks again, it's a fabulous place - love the thought that has gone into equipping it, so many places I've stayed don't have tea pots big enough or large enough tables etc.
We had an absolutely fantastic time At the Green Man and I have already had lots of people asking me to send the details - I can't recommend the venue highly enough and I will fill out our feedback - all very positive.
We had an absolutely fantastic weekend at The Green Man, it was perfect for us all and we have all said we would love to use it again. The bedrooms worked great for us, we LOVED the bar and the kitchen catered for all our needs.
As the Student Sport Team from Loughborough University we usually strive for high standards, and we weren't disappointed with The Green Man! As a large group of 25 we had ample space to both work and relax, as well as enjoy the fantastic facilities at The Green Man. If you're looking for a place to have a work conference or a work away week, this would be a good option.
Where do I begin.............we had an absolute blast. The Green Man went beyond all expectations, it was the perfect weekend in every way. A number of people in the group said that they would be looking at the Green Man as a venue for their own family party's. Our age range was 7 to 70 and it catered for all. Please pass on our gratitude to Tracey the place was immaculate when we arrived and we all worked hard to ensure we left it as we found it. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Green Man to anyone for any occasion and once we have sorted the deposit, I will be straight on to Trip Advisor to do exactly that!! Thanks again, you made my wife's 40th birthday bash go down in folklore!!
We have just returned from a fantastic weekend, at The Green Man which I had booked for my 50th Birthday weekend with friends. This renovated pub is an excellent venue for family or group get togethers that has everything that you need. It is very spacious, immaculately clean and the bar area is an added bonus and a great Hub of the house. We will definitely be returning to The Green Man as everyone party member was very impressed and talking of future celebrations for friends and family. One very happy 50 year old 😊
I just wanted to say a big “thank you” for the fantastic venue “The Green Man” in Ashbourne. The venue was ideal for our 3 day business meeting . All facilities were of a very high standard. The kitchen was modern, well equipped and the living areas were ideal, especially the bar, pool table and darts! The bedrooms were also of a high standard, especially the bathrooms, which were modern and well equipped. Our business meeting went without a hitch and we would highly recommend this venue.
What a fantastic venue the Greenman is! We had a wonderful stay. I cannot express in words how fantastic it was. It definitely exceeded our expectations and we will be back as soon as we can find another excuse for a get together. Every single person commented time and time again how lovely it was; the kitchen, the bar, the lounge and dining areas, the bedrooms, not to mention the views...they were all fabulous! Thanks again team for a great experience. From booking to arriving, every aspect was seamless and we got all the credit from our family!
Thanks for such a lovely time. Everyone enjoyed their stay
We had a great weekend at The Green Man and thought it was a wonderful venue
We stayed at the Crew and Harpur last year and that set our expectations for The Green Man high but they were smashed out of the water. The Green Man is amazing. Our group has now used Peak Venues twice and because we've had such great times the event has become an annual thing. We ordered kegs before we arrived and they were ready to pour when we got there. All rooms were spotless, towels and bedding all set up as requested. The Venue was immaculate, plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Also a nice patio outside, which we were lucky enough with the weather to use. Every single one of my group had an amazing time. We're already looking to plan next years event. I can't recommend The Green Man enough, or any of the other peaks venues. There a few local pubs nearby within walking distance and plenty of landscape to take in. The only downside is living with the troughs after you spend a weekend at the Peaks!
Just wanted to say a big big thank you for making a special get together with a group of fantastic friends even more amazing. The Greenman excelled all expectations. The website did not do it justice. What an amazing place to stay. The accommodation is perfect, the standard of the facilities is 5 star, I will happily spread the word about Peak Venues and what perfect venues they have. What could be better than having your own bar as the focal point of the place your staying. We had such fun and never stopped laughing all weekend. I'm certain this converted pub made the difference between a fantastic weekend and an amazing one. Another big thank for the lovely Christmas tree to help us have our early Christmas wonderland, it made the atmosphere even more cosy and Christmassy. After staying at Cliff House 2 years ago didn't think you could better it, can't wait to see what venue we stay in next year.
Thanks for a great stay. Just returned from a weekend away with a large group of friends. This converted pub makes for a unique accommodation and we were blown away with the quality of the place. From the ice making machine behind our very own bar, to the underfloor heating which kept us cosy all weekend. A fabulous kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need and great bedrooms full of character. Lovely touches from the owners with so many items provided for us like coffee, tea and sugar and lovely hand washes and shower gels in all the rooms. The character of the place has been retained well with the original pub loos complete with hand dryer, all made for a very special stay. Amazing place can't recommend highly enough.
Dear all We very much enjoyed our weekend at The Green Man, and everyone agreed that we would love to stay there again. Tracey had made sure that the house was in great order when we arrived – beautifully clean and tidy bar was a huge hit. The kitchen is a great size, and very well fitted Hoping to stay with you again soon
40 members of my family gathered at the Green Man to celebrate my 50th Birthday. Without exception we found the venue PERFECT for our needs. With an age range of 2 - 83 that is saying something! The particular "extra" that wasn't advertised was the on-call availability of the housekeeper through the weekend. She cheerfully and promptly assisted us wether it was someone locking their keys in their room, an extra long extension lead needed or the whereabouts of the nearest hospital when my Dad fell en route to the pub. Her willingness to help has extended past the weekend as Dad is now unable to drive for the foreseeable and she has liaised with Green Flag to arrange collection of his car. Tracy is the hidden bonus of this extraordinary venue - her "can do" attitude, warmth and graciousness was an exceptional and unexpected perk and we will all be coming back for sure.
The place was fantastic and we all had a great time
Our stay was great and your venue was lovely. A few of our guests were so impressed I believe they are going to be in contact to check if you have any christmas/new year availability.
If you have comments you'd like to leave then please get in touch. We love to hear all feedback - good or bad.
It is always best to check the websites for any seasonal opening times as some places do shut early or close over the winter months.
Arguably one of Britain’s best theme parks, Alton Towers is only a 7.5 mile drive away. The infamous Alton Towers resort offers a great family day out, as well as the renown rides which provide enough excitement even for the most ardent fun seeker, the Cbeebies land is a great addition to cater for the youngest family members. The waterpark is also not to be missed, with rides for the adrenaline junkies as well as relaxing areas for those who just want to chill out in the Lagoona Bay.

Just down the road from the Green Man at Winkhill, this wildlife park is a great destination for families, with walk throughs which allow you to come face to face with exotic and endangered animals such as lemurs, penguins and wallabies. There are opportunities to feed the animals by hand and also a large outdoor play area, sandpit and bouncy castle to keep the little ones occupied.

The Roaches, with Hen Cloud and Ramshaw Rocks form a gritstone escarpment which marks the south-western edge of the Peak District. A mecca for walkers and climbers with some of the best gritstone climbing in the country. Once you have reached the top of the rocky ridge there are stunning viewing across the Staffordshire moorlands. Obviously no trip would be complete without catching the ‘winking man.’

A short but very attractive walking/cycle route along the route of the former Leek & Manifold Light Railway. Look out for the impressive Thor’s Cave and interesting rock formations along the way and stop for lunch at the lovely National trust tea rooms at Wetton Mill, or take a picnic to have down by the river.

A nice afternoon out for the family, children and adults alike will enjoy a ride on the miniature steam railway, which hugs the outline of Rudyard Lake. As well as the miniature steam railway, Rudyard Lakes offers picturesque walking and you can also hire rowing boats and canoes out.
