  Needed to find accommodation that would take two collie dogs due to taking part in the 70.

  3 Stafford Half Ironman in June 2019. Hunters Moon wasn't close to the start in Chasewater but it allowed more than one dog. Prior to arrival I'd asked whether we could get in early due to travelling up from Cornwall overnight and for the owners to text me if this was possible on the day. They duly text when the accommodation was ready and I text back to say that we were very wet due to the current weather conditions (pouring down with rain!). On arrival the heating had been turned on so that we could dry out and also there was a bottle of wine for us and a number of doggy treats for the collies. Steve, the owner, showed us where everything was but said to text him if we needed anything further. (We only needed to do this once when a bulb blew and tripped the fuse switch and he came round immediately to fix it.) They also supplied an information folder with everything in it which you need - wifi code, vets, doctors, shops, pubs, etc. There's also an interesting folder in the office with the history of Fulford in it (Hunters Moon used to be the post office at one time - hence the postbox in their wall). There is loads of storage space here as well as living space. We didn't even use the lounge or office as we spent most of our time around the kitchen table as there was plenty of room here. The location is ideal for getting around Staffordshire. Morrisons is in Stone, about five miles away, for food and fuel. Good road links to Stafford, Lichfield, Cannock Chase, Shugborough (NT). We have an older collie dog (14) so we brought out own rubber-backed mats as he has problems on wooden floors which they had here (legs go in all directions except the way he wants them to go). Overall we had a lovely week except it rained most days but that didn't stop us going out and seeing as much of Staffordshire as we could. Would definitely come back here next year.

  Lovely, warm, clean, quiet and well-kept accommodation.

  Great to have 2 TVs, comfortable seating in the lounge and an office with a large desk, especially as I had some work to do on my laptop. The bed was very comfortable, the overhead lighting excellent for reading and the amount of cupboard and wardrobe space was astounding; also plenty of storage space in the well-equipped kitchen. Just one niggle: we found that the very small fridge/freezer wouldn't initially accommodate all we had brought and, as it's free-standing on the floor, we had to keep kneeling down to see inside and optimize its space. The pleasant and helpful owners gave us useful information and very kindly provided a bottle of wine. The village is very nice and walks on quiet lanes are possible in various directions. A pleasant walk can be had at Downs Banks (National Trust) and from there along the Trent & Mersey Canal towpath to Stone centre. We had excellent lunches at the Shoulder of Mutton in the village and at the Black Lake Inn and the Spotgate Inn, both of which are within easy walking distance. Despite some poor weather we had a very enjoyable week and have no hesitation in recommending this charming and good value accommodation.

  I had a lovely relaxing stay at Hunters Moon Annexe.

  It was the perfect place to stay whilst looking after Stella a friend’s dog. We both enjoyed the local walks and places of interest. I know the area and it is well placed for visiting Ashbourne, Alton Towers, Belper, Matlock, Stafford and the Peak District. The annexe has everything you could want for a restful relaxing stay, a perfect home from home. There is a garden and private patio for you to use, please bear in mind the garden is not gated so if you have a dog you will need to keep an eye on them. However, this was not a problem for me. The owners Steve and Jane couldn’t be more helpful. They messaged to check I was ok when I was much later arriving than expected due to heavy traffic, such a thoughtful gesture. When I eventually arrived they had put the heating on for me which was much appreciated after my long journey. The next day they checked to make sure everything was ok and that I had settled in. They also gave me some coffee and marmalade which I had forgotten to take. The owners are there if you need them but are not intrusive. I have no hesitation in recommending Hunters Moon Annexe to anyone looking for dog friendly accommodation.

  From start to finish this was the perfect break.

  Fulford itself is a great location for a base as we found everything we needed within a 5 or 10 mile radius (Fulford's only negative was that the pub isn't dog friendly). As for the cottage (annexe), where do I start. I received pre-arrival welcome messages during the few days before arrival which set things up nicely. When we got there everything was clearly cleaned and prepared for us - even a bottle of wine and some dog treats for our enjoyment. The were precious few problems to encounter - I think I'd class a broken spatula as being about the most major!!!! That really is how good the place was. Our hosts were brilliant (including resident BC Milly), and our own Border Collie was made very welcome and made full use of the beautiful garden. We found the lounge, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom all to be very high quality and this settled us in within minutes of arriving. All in all I'd highly recommend Hunter's Moon Annexe 110% - so much so that after all our 'cottage holiday stays' this is the first one that we will be be returning to for definite. Location - brilliant. Cottage quality - fantastic Welcome/hosts - totally superb

  The owners were warm and welcoming.

  We even spent our last night in the local with them. So lovely and down to earth. Bella our dog loved the garden and felt right at home from the off. It was clean, quaint and peaceful, exactly what we needed for the couple of nights to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life we live. The shower was fab and the kitchen was fully stocked of everything possible you would need. We couldn't get the TV in the bedroom to work, and the WiFi was too weak for us to pick up, but in some respects I was glad we didn't have it to have some respite from social media and the TV was not missed as we have the living room and plenty to keep us entertained and relaxed. If it would have been a problem we know we could have enquired and they would have looked at it for us. The owners couldn't do enough for us.xx The added touches like the bottle of wine and doggie bowl and treats were the added unexpected little additions that truly made us and our fur baby welcome. We can't wait to return.xx
