About this property

Leek 5 miles. This lovely, stone-built annexe is attached to the main farmhouse within the grounds of the owner’s working farm, in the small hamlet of Bradnop, near to the historic town of Leek. Cosy and welcoming, this traditional cottage is perfect for a couple or a small family wishing to discover the rugged beauty of the Staffordshire Peak District and beyond. All on the ground floor, with splendid views of the rolling open countryside, when you step inside this property you’ll find that it has been furnished with convenience and flexibility in mind. There are two comfortable bedrooms, one double and one twin, as well as a wet room with a shower. You’ll also find an open plan living area, featuring lovely exposed beams and a well-equipped kitchen, not to mention comfy seating and a dining area in which you can enjoy an evening meal with your loved ones. Outside, to the front of the cottage is a patio with furniture, making this a great spot to take in the sights and sounds of the farm, as well as the views of the countryside beyond. After a day exploring the local area and a hearty evening meal in your splendid cottage, why not take a stroll in the pretty gardens and observe the rare-breed hens roaming around? The Peak Wildlife Park is just down the road and with its large walkthroughs, allowing you to come face-to-face with exotic animals, it makes for a great day out. For any keen horse riders there’s Beaver Hall Equestrian Centre close by and for those who enjoy walking, there are endless stunning trails, including Dovedale, with its rocky slopes and woodland. For the thrill-seekers in your party, Alton Towers is just a short drive away, as are the delightful market towns of Leek and Ashbourne, offering a tempting array of antique shops, real ale pubs and restaurants. At any time of the year, this lovely cottage will provide the perfect base from which to enjoy a memorable holiday.

    Friendly hosts nearby. Beautiful location.

  • Zoe

    It is located in beautiful countryside and is more spacious than the photos suggest. All areas of the cottage were spotlessly clean, and the owners, who live next door, were very friendly. Thank you very much.

  • Emma

    It was nice to be able to park right outside. Nice to be able to have a cup of tea with a biscuit upon arrival, however there was no sugar to put in the tea. There was also no condiments such as salt and pepper to have with any of the meals we cooked at the property.
