Hednesford, known for its delightful history as a market town, rests in the heart of Staffordshire and on the edge of the Cannock Chase National Landscape. With a lively high street lined with shops and restaurants, the town makes for a wonderful base for a holiday, enjoying the comforts of ample amenities and the serenity of the surrounding natural beauty. Dating back to 1153, the town has a rich history, with the more recent past showing a strong mining-town development, but don’t worry, Hednesford has kept its charm as time rolled into the 21st century. Within easy reach of Hednesford is the town of Stafford and the cities of Wolverhampton and Birmingham, should you want the hustle and bustle, but the real hidden gems lie amongst picture-perfect scenery dotted around the area, with places such as Alton, Eccleshall and Church Eaton just a scenic drive away.

I have spent a wonderful month here. It's very quiet, and it's just so easy to get out for a run or a hike whenever I want to. I've had some very memorable adventures exploring the Chase. In terms of facilities, it has everything I have needed, and it's all pretty much new. It's not large, but big enough. Rachael has been really lovely and hospitable. It is located on stables, so if you're a horsey sort of person (I'm not particularly) I wonder if something could be arranged. There are certainly loads of folks taking their mounts for a hack around the area.

The lodge was cosy, well equipped, clean and very welcoming, it was on a secure site with close access to town, the Cannock chase, and other smaller shops! We had a very friendly welcome from the owner with a little welcome basket that even had some snacks for my little one, and some milk in the fridge for that first hot drink! It's a small gesture but it made the world of difference! Loved the fact that the cot provided was a proper cot not just a travel cot and the owner was always happy to be contacted if we needed anything! The property itself was well maintained, plenty of space and plenty of things for organising meals, the walk in shower was perfect and the bathroom could be nice warm with the little heater. Huge thank you for a very friendly welcome and a lovely little holiday lodge!

The property was spotless and everything you needed for your stay . The only fault I would say was the sofa wasnât very comfortable and very low . It was lovely having the chase literally on the doorstep. My dog absolutely love it . I would definitely go back again as there is so much to see and do in the area . 5*
