About this property
Abbots Bromley 3.2 miles. The Lazy Mare by The Water is a delightful shepherd's hut, surrounded by rolling countryside and resting just alongside the Blithfield Reservoir in Admaston, Staffordshire. Offering a solid fuel-fired hot tub and a compact yet romantic dwelling, this charming shepherd's hut is perfect for a couples break in the glorious greenery of Staffordshire's countryside. Arriving at the hut, an off-road parking space greets you; park up and climb the steps onto the decking to make your way into the space. An open-plan layout benefits from a dining table with benches where you can enjoy your breakfast and plan your day of adventures, before swapping it into a plush double bed for the evening. Whip up a quick meal with the kitchen facilities, including a mini fridge, an electric one-ring hob, a microwave, and an all-important kettle for your morning cuppa, before snuggling up in bed and getting some rest. Guests will also benefit from a shower room, fit with a walk-in shower, a basin and a WC, where you can freshen up and prepare for the day. Making your way outside, the decking provides a wonderful space for savouring a glass of wine in the warmer months while gazing over the nearby reservoir and open fields, while the charcoal barbecue offers more cooking facilities for a spot of alfresco dining. Take the steps back down from the decking and treat yourself to a dip in the hot tub to soak your muscles after an adventurous day.

Most comfortable bed i have slept in away from home.Very small but compact and had everything you needed to cook with.We took our airfryer as it was March and a charcoal bbq was too much hassle to have to light and get up way to early.Perhaps a gas bbq would benefit,just light it and go.Bathroom could be slightly bigger,you had to tilt your neck to one side while on the loo because of sink.But overall a lovely pleasant and peaceful stay,and we would come back.

The hut was so perfect and nestled away quietly in the fields over looking the water. Mandy was lovely and messaged before to ask if we wanted the hot tub lit before our arrival. The hut had everything we could have needed; a full size fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, camping stove, all the towels/plates/bedding were provided along with milk and Prosecco, we couldnât have asked for anymore! The location was ideal too, plenty to do in the area but the hut was so amazing we spent most of our afternoon sat in the hot tub in the sun with a bottle of bubbles! My only fault with it and itâs ever so minor, was the cat. Great if you like cats but Iâm allergic so having the fluffy guy rubbing up on everything and scratching at the door in the early hours to get in wasnt so great. But again only minor and not at all a reflection of Mandy and her property, we would 100% come again and we will be recommending the stay to everyone we know! Thank you for such a pleasant weekend x
