The local area is full of interesting places to visit; the Trent and Mersey Canal runs through the village, whilst just a couple of miles away is the Blithfield Reservoir with a wide selection of walks, a great place for a spot of birdwatching. The Potteries are just north of Hixon, whilst Uttoxeter features horseracing throughout the year and Alton Towers is a half hours drive, ensuring kids of all ages will have a fabulous days thrillseeking. This is a great house to enjoy the Staffordshire countryside, offering a varied holiday throughout the year.

We felt welcome and could feel a lot of love has been through those walls. The residents of the area were friendly and welcoming also. Shops with friendly staff near by and good eateries. The views from the bedroom across Cannock Chase were serene and beautiful. Whilst having a lived in feel the house was so homely, with all appliances to make a stay pleasurable, and a lovely healing feel. Left feeling relaxed and happy. A very special place. Thank you to the owners for sharing such a beautiful place with us.

The front door doesn't have a handle and is very very stiff to the point it could not be opened from inside and had to climb out the window a few times to open the door. Oven kept burning all the food no matter what setting it was on the bottom of the food was always burnt. The 1 TV that was provided did not work at all. Bin in bathroom had not been emptied upon arrival. Was also lots of dust around the borders of the rooms as if they hadn't been hoovered properly for a while.

A pleasant enough stay for the price, but it needs a good clean and some decorating/upgrading to increase overall satisfaction.
