Set in a peaceful corner of the Staffordshire countryside near the village of Endon, this unique adults-only retreat is a charming hideaway for couples seeking a slower pace and a connection with nature. Surrounded by open landscapes, it places scenic walks right from the door, with the Staffordshire Moorlands and Peak District National Park both within easy reach.
This characterful summerhouse sits on a working homestead beside the Caldon Canal, surrounded by farmland, wildlife and friendly resident animals. Inside, the cosy retreat has been decorated in soothing tones, with wood-panelled walls, handcrafted details and countryside-inspired touches throughout. A comfortable double bed takes centre stage, with a Smart TV nearby for quiet evenings after days spent exploring. A compact kitchenette is available for preparing breakfast or simple meals, which can be enjoyed at the window-side table overlooking the surroundings. Across the path, a separate wood-panelled building houses the contemporary shower room and WC. Outside, a private garden surrounds the summerhouse with lawned areas, colourful planting and peaceful views. A picnic table creates a lovely setting for al fresco dining, while the covered seating area is perfect for enjoying a drink or reading in the fresh air. A gas BBQ and fire pit add to the outdoor appeal. Guests are welcome to explore the surrounding 12 acres of farmland and meet the donkeys, alpacas, emus, goats and other animals. Ample private parking is available.
