Great Weekend
This property has a real homely feel and makes you feel relaxed straight away. We were staying primarily to attend a family wedding but the house enabled us plenty of space to spread out relax and have a nice weekend break too. The beds were extremely comfy and the house was spotlessly clean. We would love to return at some stage. The hosts were friendly and helpful to show us around when we arrived, even down to having the log burner lit and welcoming!

The Old Vicarage
The Old Vicarage was a lovely place to stay during a work trip to Staffordshire. Our hosts were delightful and provided some really helpful suggestions about places to visit or eat. The cottage is well presented with plenty of space and - very excitingly - super fast fibre broadband, which was a huge plus. I'd heartily recommend the Old Vicarage.
