  • "The host Marion is so ready to sort out any differculties as we found out when we found that medication had been left at home."

    Marion not only helped find out what we needed to do but drove my husband to the chemist to get it! The Cottage was the best Cottage we have stayed at . We've been renting Cottages over the last 15years I have only left one review before and that was a poor one. Even the dog enjoyed her stay . She was very relaxed.

  • "I really enjoyed my time at abbey view it was very clean and comfortable and warm."

    Marion was very helpful and was able to answer any question I had about the area and able to point me in the right direction for going to church on Sunday and where best for lunch. Thank you for the gift pack left for me and my dog they were very gratefully received and the milk and bread was a bonus. I would recommend anyone looking for a place in Staffordshire to go here from Barbara

  • "Exceptional hospitality from Marion (property owner) in providing mini hampers for us and our dog beforehand and providing a warm friendly welcome on arrival too."

    The cottage was amazing, wonderful to hear woodpeckers and it provided beautiful views of the surrounding area, we wholeheartedly recommend walking through the Croxden abbey ruins and where the cottage is situated for further afield adventures with or without dogs in the scenic Staffordshire Moors. The local pubs are dog friendly and food amazing (as recommend by Marion). Overall an excellent experience and definitely work a visit again in the summer. Thank you to Marion for the extra treats on arrival, our dog Daisy enjoyed them

  • "Where do we start, we have just had the great pleasure of starying at the cottage for 4 nights."

    We were met soon after arrival by Marion who was very welcoming and helpful. The cottage was amazing, comfortable, cosy, set up with everything you could possibly need and beautiffuly decorated. Marion had added lots of personal touches and treats for us which were much apprecited. We were so chilled and could have spent all our days sitting watching the birds and squirrels on the bird table in the garden, but we did manage a walk to the Abbey which is a must visit and a trip to the nearest pub which served lovely food. We would highly recommend the cottage and will definitely be re-visitng in the spring/summer so we can enjoy the surrounding area more and the garden in the warmer, hopefully drier weather.

    Thank-you Angela so much for the lovely review John and I are so very pleased you both had a lovely time. It was a pleasure meeting you . Glad you both enjoyed the treats. Thankyou again for booking AbbeyView Farm Cottage. Marion. Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely property."

    It’s nicely decorated, well maintained and is fully equipped with everything that you would need during your stay. The log burner is an added treat. Marion the owner came to see us after we arrived to make sure all was ok and she thoughtfully put in a nice welcome box of treats for us and also a separate one for our puppy. A really nice touch. We would certainly stay again hopefully when it’s not so wet. The only drawback which we mentioned to Marion was that the front door goes straight into the front room and so taking shoes off and wiping muddy paws was a must. A wooden or tiled floor would be better . Overall a lovely place, nice owner and a nice area.

    Thank you Jeffrey for your lovely comments and feedback . I’m so pleased you had a most enjoyable stay. Both John and I hope to see you again it was a pleasure meeting you both. Thank you once again. Marion. Property Owner

  • "We were absolutely delighted with this quiet peaceful cottage."

    Great care has been taken with the decoration and the things provided. We had very pleasant contact with Marion and John who did everything they could to make our stay as good as it could possibly be. It is a very well set-up cottage in a really attractive area. We were warm and cosy despite the sub-zero temperatures. Watching the birds on the feeders gave us lots of pleasure, as did the welcome packs for us and and Suki the dog. We fully intend to visit again. Thank you for our much-needed break.

  • "Abbey view farm cottage was a lovely break away."

    The cottage is well equipped,clean and very cosy. The bed is very compfy so get a good nights sleep and it's in a peaceful location. The owner Marion was lovely, very welcoming and helpfull. There is leaflets in the coattage provided of where to go in the peak district, so that is very helpfull if your new and have never been to the peak district. Its also not far from the main shops and takeaways around 10 mins in the car. The welcome pack provided was a lovely treat it included milk bread biscuits etc and a bottle of wine wich was so lovely. The log fire was nice to light at night and everything that was needed for it was provided. Overall a lovely stay and the cottage has everything you need whilst you are there. I would definitely stay again and recommend Abbey view cottage if your looking for a needed break away in the peak district.

The property

Alton 2.5 miles.

Abbey View Farm Cottage is a detached cottage set in 103 acres within the curtilage of Abbey View Farm, in the village of Croxden, Staffordshire.

Boasting stunning views overlooking Croxden Abbey which was built in 1178 by the Cistercian monks and Abbey View Farm cottage, dating back to the 1600's, offers a charming bolthole for couples seeking a weekend away in Staffordshire.

Follow a single-track lane to the cottage, where you can leave the car directly outside in the off-road parking area, before stepping into your new home-from-home.

Pop off your shoes and make yourself comfortable in the sitting room, getting the woodburning stove roaring before flicking on the Smart TV and easing into the evening.

The kitchen/diner is equipped with all the necessary amenities so that you can cook up a storm, perfect for enjoying a romantic dinner with your loved one.

On those warmer evenings, escape to the enclosed garden patio, complete with furniture, the perfect spot to admire the views of the rolling hills of the Staffordshire countryside.

As the night grows dark, head to the shower room for a freshen up before retreating to the double bedroom to catch some shut eye.

In the morning, take a short car journey to the town of Rocester, home to a selection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants.

A similar distance away lies Alton Towers, one of the most popular theme parks in the country, home to thrilling rides and a fantastic waterpark, a must for adrenaline junkies.

If you’d prefer a more leisurely day of exploring, see a variety of species at the Peak Wildlife Park or embark on a hike around Dimmingsdale Valley & Furnace Forest Walks.

Why not head to Uttoxeter and experience the atmosphere at a race day?

Choose Abbey View Farm Cottage for a romantic stay in Staffordshire.
