Property is great, just as described. Very peaceful area with stunning views. Secluded and in the middle of nowhere just enough for peace and quiet (all we heard were birds and the odd tractor) but close enough to nice walks, tourist attractions, shops, restaurants and cafes. Only met one of the owners, they were very nice and friendly. Only thing missing (just a small thing that would’ve been nice to have) was a small jar of coffee/tea bags. Really enjoyed our time there. Will be booking again, maybe even for colder weather next time so we can enjoy the log burner. Places nearby worth visiting: Blithfield reservoir Bishton Hall Canalside farm shop/cafe Antlers Cafe Mary’s Tearoom Shimla Palace

Fantastic property in the heart of the Staffordshire countryside. The cottage is very well equipped and extremely cosy with underfloor heating throughout. Loads of space in the garden with plenty of seating and extensive views over the peaceful fields. Lovely place to sit out in the evening with a chilled glass of wine ! The highlight is of course the hot tub which was well used during our week's stay. Hayley, the host, was very helpful and met us on the first evening to explain all the controls for appliances etc. and give all details about how everything worked. Although cottage is right out in the country it's only s five minute drive from Rugeley which has all the shops, supermarkets, restaurants and pubs you need. Loads of visitor attractions within a half hours drive and we would highly recommend Shugborough Hall, Cannock Chase and especially the National Memorial Arboretum. Overall we had a fantastic week's holiday at the Hen House and would completely recommend this to anyone.
