Description

A charming 1912 stone-built terraced cottage with wonderful views of the Churnet Valley, at the heart of the Staffordshire moorlands.

At the bottom of the garden sits a Shepherd’s Hut which overlooks woodland in the valley beyond, giving guests total privacy in which to unwind.

Perfect for a cosy romantic getaway, or special break with family and friends.

This traditional Staffordshire miner’s cottage combines original features with hand-picked contemporary furnishings, making it a warm and homely base for hearty walks from the door, or simple rest and relaxation.

Upstairs, the cottage has two luxury bedrooms, both with feature fireplaces and Farrow & Ball finish, with the rear bedroom offering beautiful English countryside views.

The well-equipped fitted kitchen boasts a range cooker and Staffordshire ceramics, with a farmhouse table for guests to relax with friends when dining in together.

A cosy woodburner is at the heart of the tasteful sitting room, with French doors leading onto the patio.

The pretty hamlet of Foxt has the Fox & Goose village pub serving real ale and good food, plus Hetty’s Tea Room by the Caulden canal - whilst the nearby village of Ipstones has a village shop/Post Office, excellent butcher, and two village pubs.

Just a short drive from this lovely Staffordshire cottage are Alton Towers, Chatsworth House, Ashbourne and Bakewell.

With many lovely walks from the doorstep and numerous outdoor activities on offer close by, this is a perfect base for a memorable holiday, at any time of year.

Wowser, what a little gem of a cottage!

It was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, and as for the views....just stunning! Every window you look out of you are spoilt with beautiful views, and waking up each morning to see horses grazing outside was lovely also. Parking was tight as others have said, and not for the cautious, but there was plenty of space up the top of the road to park if you are a more nervous driver, but thankfully we managed to park outside house each time with no bother. There is so much to see and do in the local area, and if you love walking you really are spoilt for choice of what to do next! We walked down to Hettys tea room which is a lovely but steep walk through the beautiful countryside. Definitely good to have a cuppa and one of their infamous scones before you head back up. Can highly recommend Thors Cave too for stunning views, and Trentham gardens and monkey forest was a great day out also. This week away was just what we needed, and it really was a privilege to stay in such a beautiful cottage in incredible surroundings. Thankyou Anna for being a great host, and for your suggestions of places to go.

The cottage and garden were lovely, with great views.

We had a very good week exploring the Staffordshire moorlands and the western side of the Peak District and the cottage was a great base to come back to each day.

We had a wonderful stay at Lucky Cottage.

We so appreciated the care taken with the decor and furnishings. All facilities were high end, lovely beds and bedding. We breakfasted in the garden every morning, beautiful garden surrounded by forest and fields. Plenty of walks from the house and near places to visit. Friendly neighbors. Hope to return, have no hesitation in recommending.
