1 Bed Lodge in Oakamoor

About this property

Escape to the Staffordshire countryside for an off-grid stay at this woodland property that combines two shepherds' huts into one magical retreat. Sleeping two guests, the huts sit in the scenic Churnet Valley and beckon couples and solo travellers alike for a one-of-a-kind holiday. Keen walkers and outdoor enthusiasts will love the wealth of hiking and cycling trails that start from the doorstep; explore peaceful woodlands, dramatic valleys and quiet lanes together. For more outdoor adventure, the Peak District National Park begins just 8 miles away; popular spots within 30 miles include Bakewell, Youlgreave, Darley Dale, Matlock, and Matlock Bath. Wildlife enthusiasts will love an afternoon at the Peak Wildlife Park (8 miles), while adrenaline seekers should head to the thrilling rides of Alton Towers Theme Park (2.5 miles). For the nights you don't fancy cooking, the nearby village of Alton (1.5 miles) offers a good choice of traditional pubs.

As you step into the quiet woodland clearing that hosts this charming property, pause for a moment to appreciate the sights and sounds of the surrounding nature that sets the scene for an immersive stay. Set on raised decking, you'll find two shepherds' huts joined together to combine cooking, unwinding and sleeping into one unique retreat. The first hut hosts the lounge, kitchen and dining area. Arranged around a roaring wood burner, this charming space is perfect for cooking up light meals and sinking into the sofa after days of outdoor adventure. If you're bringing extra guests, the sofa here converts to sleep two additional children or one adult on request. At the end of each day away, retire to the second hut to find a restful sleeping space, featuring a double bed and the luxury of an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower and WC.

The highlight of this retreat is the fantastic outdoor space. Step out onto the elevated decking each day and find outdoor seating and a gas BBQ that invite quiet morning coffees and al fresco evening meals. In the evening, as the stars emerge, take your place in the wood-fired hot tub for total relaxation, then gather round the fire pit to toast marshmallows as you plan tomorrow's adventure. Guests will also benefit from ample on-site parking just metres from the huts.
