Throw open the patio doors to discover the enclosed garden and climb into the hot tub to stargaze as your worries melt away. When sleep calls, a king-size bed awaits, with storage to house your belongings and a wet room to prepare for a night's embrace.

The hot tub was fabulous and clean and the operation was really simple. The goats were fantastic, we were so lucky to be there to see the babies being born! Once in a lifetime moment! The owners are lovely and left us a welcome pack with loads of food including fresh eggs. It's so quiet around the place, perfect for relaxing, you can walk to the village and a 20 min drive takes you to Trentham with loads to do there. It was a perfect week for us.
