Where most of our returning guests first stayed.

The Cottage was, in 1842, where the farmhand and his family lived. It is now where guests come for a quiet two or three nights, a king bedroom, a second bedroom with two singles, and a kitchen that is small but considered.

The Cottage sits at the heart of the working farm, pet-friendly with secure bike storage included at no extra cost. The fully equipped kitchen has a coffee machine and Smart TV, with fast WiFi throughout. Cannock Chase is on the doorstep for walking and cycling.

Sleeps up to 6 in two bedrooms, with a king bed, two single beds and two pull-out beds. Pets welcome with a small pet fee.

Perfect for

  • A quiet long weekend
  • A small family escape
  • A walking holiday
  • A working week away
