Set in around 12 acres of woodland, this is real country living at its best, but with the convenience of local facilities nearby. Both properties have wood burners taking pride of place for cosy winter months, and for the long summer days the gardens are perfect for simply soaking up the peace and quiet. You’ll find a selection of food serving pubs and a local convenience store less than a mile away with the villages of Endon and Stockton Brook easily accessible. Lovely walks are available from the doorstep and access is available to the adjacent field. Please bring suitable footwear some areas may be muddy! Please note that the return walk back is up a steep climb! Further afield the market town of Leek can be reached in a 15-minute drive and offers a lot including a wealth of high street shops and eateries.
The Caldon canal runs close by so is perfect for waterside walks and cycles with maybe a spot of lunch at one of the canal-side pubs on the way. There’s also Rudyard Lake for some water-based activities surrounded by some of the most dramatic scenery to be found in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Thrill-seekers mustn’t miss Britain’s premier theme park Alton Towers which is just a 30-minute drive away, and the location is also just a few miles southwest of the magnificent Peak District National Park. The position is excellent for exploring Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire and is also just 40 minutes from the fascinating market town of Ashbourne with its abundance of eateries and renowned antique shops.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 6 guests.

The cottage had everything we needed for a perfect, relaxing short break and equipped to a high standard. There were plenty of local walks along the canals and a number of local pubs providing quality food. The enclosed, safe and secure garden was perfect for the dogs. Carolyn and Ade were very welcoming . Would highly recommend.
