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.

Just returned from a fantastic stay at Serenity. The accommodation was perfect for the two of us and Jess our cocker spaniel. Cosy and very well equipped, we especially enjoyed the log burner in the evening. Plenty of enjoyable walks and some county parks nearby. Loved the quietness and the open field with the wood at the bottom (so did Jess). Even spotted the deer one morning. If you looking for off the beaten track, this is the place. Although, a short drive brings you back to shops, pubs and lovely walks along the canal.
