What a wonderful place to stay, very welcoming owners. Lovely surroundings and very peaceful location perfect for our dogs. So spacious with a seperate snug and cosy log burner, also a large bright conservatory. The kitchen had everything we needed, certainly a home from home. We had a lovely week away and highly recommend this gem in Staffordshire.
