Rugeley is a great place to start seeing Staffordshire because it is a mediaeval market town near to the River Trent and the beautiful Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town, which was formerly prosperous due to its iron works and glass manufacture, is today a well-built neighbourhood that is popular with both locals and tourists. The town itself is rife with possibilities to indulge in tasty fare, from well-known pubs to independent eateries; there really is something for everyone, and that's not only true of the culinary scene. Markets have been held in Rugeley since the 13th century, making it a great place to stock up on groceries and gifts for friends and family back home. Cannock Chase is a must-see if you're in the area because of its beautiful scenery, rich history, and plenty of animals. The forest itself is home to a number of fantastic attractions, such as the treetop experiences of Go Ape, hiking trails, and the chance to see things in a new light via segways. The Cathedral City of Lichfield is only twenty minutes away by car, and its streets are filled with historic sites including Beacon Park and the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum and National Memorial Arboretum. Rugeley is a great place for a relaxing vacation, since it is tucked away in scenic countryside and close to a wide variety of exciting activities.

Itâs clear that a lot of care has gone into the property. Really quiet & peaceful, perfect escape for a short break. Everything you could possibly need in a lovely compact & comfortable package.

The situation in the kitchen whereby only one appliance could be utilised at a time was less than adequate. In the lounge the settee, which was completely too large for the space, was distinctly uncomfortable and had obviously been downgraded for use in the cottage.

She made sure everything was perfect for our stay. Her 3 dogs were such cuties and friendly. The welcome pack of bread, milk, biscuits, conserves were great and a nice touch. The air conditioner/heater worked perfectly for our purposes. The friendly sheep were very interesting as well as the numerous birds on the feeders close to the cottage. The Old Dunne Cow is superb and recommended. We suggest people the visit Wedgwood World which is not too far away. We loved this quiet picturesque property and will be back.
