The place
Tucked in rural Staffordshire, this is the spot to really stretch your legs and relax. With an acre to roam around in, whether you’re two-legged or four, you can soak up that fresh countryside air and idyllic scenery. The place itself is incredibly spacious too, with light, airy rooms, and regal fixtures at every turn. There's a large dining table, where you’ll enjoy dinner with the whole gang, a big squishy sofa for post-walk cuddles and a free-standing bath for relaxing evening soaks. Outside, you'll find a huge enclosed garden, a patio with seating perfect for al fresco dining, the luxurious hot tub and the ‘Swim Spa’ pool, that lets you swim against a current, for as much paddling as you wish.
