About this property
Alton 2.5 miles. Abbey View Farm Cottage is a detached cottage set in 103 acres within the curtilage of Abbey View Farm, in the village of Croxden, Staffordshire. Boasting stunning views overlooking Croxden Abbey which was built in 1178 by the Cistercian monks and Abbey View Farm cottage, dating back to the 1600's, offers a charming bolthole for couples seeking a weekend away in Staffordshire. Follow a single-track lane to the cottage, where you can leave the car directly outside in the off-road parking area, before stepping into your new home-from-home. Pop off your shoes and make yourself comfortable in the sitting room, getting the woodburning stove roaring before flicking on the Smart TV and easing into the evening. The kitchen/diner is equipped with all the necessary amenities so that you can cook up a storm, perfect for enjoying a romantic dinner with your loved one. On those warmer evenings, escape to the enclosed garden patio, complete with furniture, the perfect spot to admire the views of the rolling hills of the Staffordshire countryside. As the night grows dark, head to the shower room for a freshen up before retreating to the double bedroom to catch some shut eye. In the morning, take a short car journey to the town of Rocester, home to a selection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants. A similar distance away lies Alton Towers, one of the most popular theme parks in the country, home to thrilling rides and a fantastic waterpark, a must for adrenaline junkies.

Marion and John have thought of every detail. We stayed over Christmas and they had decorated for us, it was very festive and welcoming, the wood burner was great especially as it was cold outside. We will certainly stay again the next time we are in the area. If you are looking in this part of the world for a great place to stay, Abbey Farm Cottage should be top of your list.

The two welcome packs were much appreciated. The small garden was lovely to sit in and enjoy the countryside view. We thought the area was lovely and the nearby monastery ruins are beautiful.
