Overview
Property code: 79321

This beautiful Grade II listed country retreat is the perfect place for a large family or group of friends to escape to the country and celebrate any occasion in glorious surroundings.

Sleeping 15 guests across eight bedrooms, this historic hunting lodge is set on a working farm in rural Staffordshire. It’s the ideal place to party or scamper with your hounds on country walks, hilly hikes and river valley rambles. You’ll find Abbots Bromley (2.5 miles) nearby with pubs, a village shop, and eateries, while the attractive market town of Uttoxeter (7.5 miles) is in easy reach. Join the long-distance Staffordshire Way right from your doorstep. And you’ll find convenient bike storage and ample parking on site after a busy day of adventures.

 

Step into this magnificent lodge which oozes old world sophistication from the wood-panelled hall to the sumptuous drawing room. Sink into leather sofas in the living room with its TV and warming wood burner where Bailey and Bella can curl up in style. Create a feast in the farmhouse kitchen where there’s room for guests to gather at the breakfast table, or cook in the second kitchen and run your own bake-off. Feast in the dining room or alfresco where children and hounds can play on the lawn. Head upstairs to find lots of bathrooms and the prettiest of bedrooms with countryside views.

 

Tee off on the fairways of Uttoxeter golf course (8.5 miles), or hedge your bets at the town’s racecourse (7.5 miles) - spend your winnings in the town shops. Head to Alton Towers for the most fearless of theme park rides (17 miles). Go Ape! on the treetops, hop on forest-bound Segways, or try mountain biking in the Birches Valley forest centre (10 miles); it’s within the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where you can see an Iron Age hill fort, visit Shugborough Hall, and wander a fascinating range of landscapes - keep your eye out for rare nightjars, woodland flowers, and curious reptiles.

Lovely big house on a remote farm. 4 really good sized bedrooms. Smaller rooms are fine for a weekend but minimal storage. Great for our family weekend away.

Great size of property for a belated family Christmas celebration. Comfortable beds and bathrooms and cosy big lounge and big dining table. Although the property is a farmhouse it does need updating as it is quite tired

The accomodation was great throughout. Very comfortable, warm and cosy. Plenty of crockery and cooking utensils Lots of room for our family get together. Added bonus having the barn with snooker table etc. Great rural location. Loved the peace and quiet of the countryside but still near enough to visit the local attractions.

We had a wonderful family reunion. 4 families all together, there was loads of space to be together or find a quiet spot away from everyone.

The lodge is in the middle of nowhere. It was great! Turkeys came to visit on the lawn every morning. Hide

The cottage was very comfortable especially the beds which everyone said were great. Some areas looked a little jaded and could benefit from a a bit of a update but given the age and history of the building this was to be expected.

Spacious house with lots of character, sadly let down for us by plumbing/water supply issues all week.
