The estate features woodland walks and wild pools for those who fancy exploring. Just 2.5 miles away is Eccleshall with its cosy pubs and independent shops. Alton Towers is only 24 miles away - close enough for thrills but far enough that you won't hear screaming rollercoaster riders.

Accommodation includes 3 super king rooms, 5 zip-and-link super kings, 5 king-size rooms and 1 double master suite. 12 bathrooms ensure minimal morning queues even with a full house. The farmhouse kitchen comes fully equipped with a Smeg induction range, two dishwashers (because nobody wants to wash up after 28 people) and a traditional AGA.

Nearby attractions include Trentham Gardens (10 miles), Wedgwood and Emma Bridgewater Potteries (15 miles), Hawkstone Park Follies (18 miles) and Cannock Chase Forest (21 miles). All are under 30 minutes by car, giving you plenty of options for day trips.

After a day of exploring, sink into the 7-person hot tub with a glass of prosecco bubbly. The Hall At Sugnall offers luxury without pretension - it's like staying at your posh friend's country pile, if your friend happened to own a manor house with a piano and hot tub.
