Shunters Nook

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and had everything needed for a pleasant stay.

Good to have the owners next door in case anything was needed and to get information on things to do, places to eat etc. If we are back in the area we will try to book Shunters Nook again.

Lovely clean, cosy and very well equipped cottage.

Very nice welcome basket (who doesn't love a WB?) Plenty of storage. We didn't have any problems with the internet service. Bed comfy, shower hot (very powerful so be careful when turning on). Walks from the door along the canal path. Nearby towns and villages worth a visit. Close to a mainline railway so can be noisy (if you are noise adverse). Didn't bother us though. One of the best Sykes Cottages we have stayed in .....and we've stayed in a lot!!

We had a lovely stay at Shunters Nook.

It's a very comfortable, clean and homely cottage with a well equipped kitchen and relaxing bedrooms. Nice walks along the canal from the front door and a lovely area to explore. My kids loved staying here and didn't want to leave. Owners next door were very helpful and friendly and on hand if needed. We hope to return some day!

Excellent traditional, comfortable cottage in a lovely part of the country.

Canal walks from the doorstep with friendly people in every direction including the owners and their dogs. Modern kitchen and cottage updated but still has a lovely homely traditional feel in keeping with the local area. Enclosed garden perfect for 4 legged friends with great walks for the more energetic. A fantastic find to which we hope to return.

Without doubt the best cottage we have visited.

Great welcome, fantastic area to visit and the cottage had everything you could wish for. The owners made us feel welcome throughout the visit. Enjoyed tow path walks along the canal and wonderful weather. Lots of information in the cottage of places to go. Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a reastful break.

Lovely cottage, next to the Trent and Mersey Canal.

Lovely walks to Great Hayward and Tixell Lock. Nearby Lichfield and Stafford were great. Shugborough Hall a short walk or drive away. Lovely owners next door were so helpful. We will be back.

Lovely well equipped and comfortable accommodation We met the hosts on arrival….

very welcoming and helpful, providing usual information about the area. Close to fields, canal and river so ideal for walking our dog. We would thoroughly recommend this property

This accommodation suited our needs for a break that wasn’t a long way from home and to visit an area we wanted to visit.

The property had everything you could need! Nice location by the canal for walks too. Wouldn’t hesitate to return if we wanted to visit the area.

The cottage has been refurbished to a high standard and provides a lovely, relaxing base to explore the countryside and attractions of the area.

Parking is really easy and the patio area is well cared for; with a good patio set and a wide range of plants. When at the cottage we appreciated the view across the field to the canal and over the tree lined ridge of Cannock Chase. We also enjoyed taking local walks along the tow path, past the Shrugborough Hall Estate, to the Canal side farm shop at Great Haywood, in one direction, and Wolseley Bridge in the other. Further afield, we found plenty to do within a short drive and enjoyed an evening meal at Ye Olde Dun Cow at nearby Colton, on the recommendation of Jonathan, the friendly, but unobtrusive, owner and neighbour. With so much still to explore, we'd have no hesitation in returning to Shunters Nook.

Cottage was worthy of 5 star rating, a generous welcome pack greeted us on arrival, the information folder was really useful on walks,places to see & eat.

The owners were very friendly & helping,overall a great holiday

We stayed for 4 nights and the location was fantastic.

Plenty of walks from the door. The cottage was clean and well equipped and the beds were comfortable. We loved the sound of the trains and even saw a steam train. Would highly recommend and we will be back.

We found the cottage cosy and comfortable and very much enjoyed our stay.

We received a warm welcome and and appreciated the welcome pack and information file. The surrounding countryside is very attractive and varied. We particularly enjoyed the Wolseley Wildlife Centre.

We enjoyed our stay here.

The cottage is comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. Shugborough Hall and Cannock Chase are a short walk away along the canal towpath and are both worth visiting. We also walked to Litchfield and Stafford along the canal. The Shimla Palace Indian restaurant nearby was also very good.

We had a very pleasant two night stay and it was very comfortable with good facilities.

There are some great walks around the cottage and we hope to return soon to explore them, and maybe, the pubs.

Jonathan made us so welcome and the cottage has been renovated and decorated sympathetically.

It was cosy and warm near to the Trent Mersey canal. Excellent location , plenty of walks and we would love to return . I hope the owners do well . Best wishes.

We had a very enjoyable short break.

The cottage is situated in the perfect position for walks along the canal, and we also visited the Canalside farm shop which had some lovely produce. We spent our evenings sat outside listening to the birds final chorus before bed, and watching bats fly overhead. We did find the sofa a little uncomfortable but the beds were extremely comfortable, and the cottage had everything we needed for a comfy stay. Thank you!

Gorgeous cottage home from home with everything you need and more.

the beds were super comfortable and we have loved our stay here. we will definitely be coming back Thank you so much John and Deborah and the dogs for making it a special stay love Karen Stewart and Rosie

We had a wonderful stay at Shunters Nook.

The property was very comfortable with a beautiful kitchen and bathroom. The property was central to getting around. We visited several places including Litchfield Cathedral & Chasewater Country Park. There are also great walks along the canal which is located a few yards from the property. We have a very thoughtful hamper which was much appreciated. Jonathan was a lovely & welcoming host. We will definitely be returning soon

Arrived on a dark wet night to a lovely welcome.

Lights were on and the cottage was warm. Jon made sure to introduce himself and check we had had a safe journey, giving instruction to his whereabouts should we need him. The cottage is very well presented, and has everything you would need. The information book is very detailed including nearby walks, once completed, fall into a spacious bath and enjoy relaxing in front of the TV, super smooth streaming provides plenty for all ages to be entertained. If only we would have had the sun to sit out and enjoy the view. A return visit is simply a MUST do.

What a beautiful cute comfy cottage.

Set on the woodlands of Cannock Chase, perfect for walks in the countryside. A super clean, super comfy well needed break. No complaints, will be back

A brilliant cottage, a real home from home with everything you could need!

We had a very relaxing stay over New Year in Shunters Nook!

It is a very cosy, comfy and clean cottage. The king size bed was very comfy and I slept for 11 hours one night! The kitchen had everything we needed and the owner provided a welcome pack! There are wonderful walks on the doorstep along the canal paths, local pubs selling great food and a farm shop up the road with a cafe and tasty produce! Shugborough Hall and Cannock Chase are a short distance! Owner was helpful and attentive, thanks for a great holiday!

We had a really lovely Christmas in Shunters Nook.

When we arrived the cottage was warm and inviting with mince pie treats, and milk and butter in the fridge, and to complete our stay Christmas decorations including a tree had been put up which made everything perfect. The cottage is very cosy, the kitchen fully kitted out (we managed to cook a Christmas dinner for 5!) And really comfy beds. The setting of the cottage in a little village with views of the canal and church was lovely and to hear geese and birds on waking was incredibly peaceful and calming, a lovely cottage and a perfect stay.
