Rugeley is a great place to start seeing Staffordshire because it is a mediaeval market town near to the River Trent and the beautiful Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town, which was formerly prosperous due to its iron works and glass manufacture, is today a well-built neighbourhood that is popular with both locals and tourists. The town itself is rife with possibilities to indulge in tasty fare, from well-known pubs to independent eateries; there really is something for everyone, and that's not only true of the culinary scene. Markets have been held in Rugeley since the 13th century, making it a great place to stock up on groceries and gifts for friends and family back home. Cannock Chase is a must-see if you're in the area because of its beautiful scenery, rich history, and plenty of animals. The forest itself is home to a number of fantastic attractions, such as the treetop experiences of Go Ape, hiking trails, and the chance to see things in a new light via segways. The Cathedral City of Lichfield is only twenty minutes away by car, and its streets are filled with historic sites including Beacon Park and the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum and National Memorial Arboretum. Rugeley is a great place for a relaxing vacation, since it is tucked away in scenic countryside and close to a wide variety of exciting activities.

It was in an ideal location for us as we needed to visit Stafford and Uttoexeter. We found the two pubs nearby, which were in walking distance and very good. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was so good, lots of hot water. The area was quiet, you did hear the passing trains but they were not intrusive to the stay. We had sunshine so we were able to have a glass of bubby on the decked area. Thank you also for the basic essentials of milk, eggs, bread and tea/coffee etc. We would stay again. Thank you Mel. Regards, Stephanie

The floor to ceiling window in front of the bed was our favourite view, and with the electric blanket on the bed it was sooo gorgeous to get in bed, and we loved lounging in the morning, watching the sheep, chickens and birds - lots and lots of birds flying around. Loads of wood included with the log burner. Always plenty of hot water. Very very comfy bed with lovely bedding. Sofa was also lovely and comfy too. We love the area, it was very wet when we were there, but we still managed to get out for walks. We particularly enjoyed the walk through Colton village to Ye Old Dun Cow in Colton. Amazing food there, we ate there four times in 6 days, couldnât fault it at all, definitely added to our stay. We both said we felt so relaxed after the stay at this cottage, the owner, Melanie, was lovely and we met her daughter who works at the Ye Old Dun Cow too,who was also lovely and helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend this place for a lovely romantic and chilled getaway.

The owner was very welcoming without being overbearing, I knew they were there if I needed them. The venue was really beautiful, comfortable and felt like a nice treat. I have already recommended it to a few people who commented on my social media posts about my stay.
