Set in around 12 acres of woodland, this is real country living at its best, but with the convenience of local facilities nearby. Both properties have wood burners taking pride of place for cosy winter months, and for the long summer days the gardens are perfect for simply soaking up the peace and quiet. You’ll find a selection of food serving pubs and a local convenience store less than a mile away with the villages of Endon and Stockton Brook easily accessible. Further afield the market town of Leek can be reached in a 15-minute drive and offers a lot including a wealth of high street shops and eateries.
The Caldon canal runs close by so is perfect for waterside walks and cycles with maybe a spot of lunch at one of the canal-side pubs on the way. There’s also Rudyard Lake for some water-based activities surrounded by some of the most dramatic scenery to be found in the Staffordshire Moorlands. Thrill-seekers mustn’t miss Britain’s premier theme park Alton Towers which is just a 30-minute drive away, and the location is also just a few miles southwest of the magnificent Peak District National Park. The position is excellent for exploring Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire and is also just 40 minutes from the fascinating market town of Ashbourne with its abundance of eateries and renowned antique shops.

My wife and I, along with our three dogs, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners live on site and are very warm and welcoming. The property itself is well-maintained. It's clean with a very high-spec interior. For those with dogs, the garden is very secure, so there's no need to worry. The local village has an excellent local pub and eatery called EGO. You must give it a try during your stay. Ade and Carolyn are the perfect hosts. We would strongly recommend Serenity. We will be back next year.

This is a comfortable and well equipped cottage which we thoroughly enjoyed. The owners are on hand and welcoming but not intrusive.The cottage is up a narrow lane and we were lucky never to meet anything coming in the other direction all week!We found plenty to do in the area; pottery visit, a trip to Buxton, lovely walks but the highlight of our week was the visit to the National Memorial Arboretum which is just over 1 hour away.
