Description
Nightingale Cottage is a welcoming semi-detached family holiday home set in the historic town of Stafford, offering a relaxed and comfortable base for families or friends keen to explore this well-connected corner of Staffordshire. Walking distance to Stafford town centre and Stafford train centre. Excellent road connections to the M6 and M6 Toll, the home provides easy access to Birmingham and Manchester. It is also a short drive from Cannock, Stoke and Alton. Pet-friendly and thoughtfully laid out, it suits both laid-back breaks and days filled with sightseeing, walking and eating out. Step inside and you’ll find a bright kitchen and sitting that naturally becomes the heart of the home. It’s well equipped for preparing everything from quick breakfasts to proper evening meals, before settling down by the electric fire to unwind after a busy day. A separate dining room provides space to gather, linger over supper and plan where to head next. Upstairs, three inviting bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements, including a super-king-size room that can be arranged as twins if needed, alongside two comfortable doubles. A smart shower room serves the bedrooms, while a handy cloakroom downstairs adds extra practicality. Outside, the enclosed garden offers a pleasant mix of patio and lawn, ideal for relaxed mornings with a coffee or quieter evenings outdoors. It’s also a great space for dogs to stretch their legs safely. To the rear of the property you are surrounded by mature trees ideal for walking your dog.

What guests are saying
The house was perfectly adequate for the two of us but 6 would be a squeeze.
More storage space in the bedrooms and kitchen would be useful. Parking was easy. Visitors with dogs were well provided for. It was very well situated for our needs: a ten minute walk from Stafford town centre, which has lovely old buildings, a small but interesting museum, nice cafes and pubs/restaurants; and easy access to surrounding towns and sites, such as Lichfield, National Memorial Arboretum, Cannock Chase. The castle and Doxey marsh at Stafford are definitely worth visiting too.
The property is lovely the host has thought of everything including lovely treats for humans and dogs.
It’s well situated for the town (walking distance) and with plenty of places to visit nearby. Would highly recommend as a base and if in the area again would definitely stay here.
Great place to stay.
Well stocked and very clean cottage with plenty of car parking space. Highly recommended.
