The Hen House in Stockwell Heath near Rugeley | Must-See Staffordshire Hot Tub Cottage

About The Hen House

The Hen House is a stunning ground-floor lodge in rural Staffordshire. This modern wooden retreat sits right on the Staffordshire Way footpath network. You'll find peace, countryside views and complete privacy here. Owls watch from nearby trees at night. Perfect spot for escaping the noise of everyday life.

Fields stretch out in every direction. The secure garden means dogs can roam safely while you soak in the hot tub with a favourite drink from the wine cooler. Cannock Chase AONB is minutes away for woodland walks. Alton Towers is close enough for a day trip but far enough that screaming teenagers won't disturb your peace. The property sits on the Staffordshire Way footpath network - ideal for walkers who hate driving to start a hike.

Two bedrooms sleep four guests comfortably. The king-size master has an en-suite shower room, while the twin can be converted to another king if needed. There's also a wetroom. The open-plan living space features a woodburning stove and underfloor heating. Kitchen includes electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and that all-important wine cooler. Beds high enough to hide your holiday snacks underneath.

Visit Shugborough Estate (7 miles, 15 mins), explore Trentham Gardens (18 miles, 30 mins), scream at Alton Towers (25 miles, 40 mins), or hike through Cannock Chase AONB (5 miles, 10 mins). Lichfield Cathedral (11 miles, 20 mins) is worth seeing too - it's the only medieval three-spired cathedral in the UK.

The Hen House suits couples, small families and book clubs equally. That hot tub seals the deal. Four people, bubbling water, countryside views. What's not to love?

4 days of peace and quiet, lovely country scenery, hot tub a real treat, comfortable beds many thanks. Paul jacky tao Andy, defo return

We absolutely loved it. Clean and quiet. Would return. Sarah, Shell and Jett

We had a truly wonderful stay at Hen House! The cottage itself was stunning and had everything we could possibly need. The hot tub was an absolute delight and the views were impeccable perfect for making special memories as a couple with our dog Dex in tow too!. A really thoughtful touch was the bottle of prosecco and crisps left for us on arrival, which we very much enjoyed. Our only criticisms were that both bathrooms had a strong smell of mould, with visible black mould along the sealant at the bottom of both showers, and there were no tea towels provided. It would also be great if the hot tub had a cover, so guests could still enjoy it comfortably in the rain. These are easy fixes and hopefully will be sorted for future guests, as they were the only things letting down an otherwise fantastic stay. Overall, we had the best time and would happily return once these small issues are addressed!

Nicola

Fantastic stay with gorgeous views and superb facilities including lovely touches like the welcoming gifts. Only downside would be more seating required, there wasn't enough comfy seats for our party of 4! Move the dining table under the TV and put in an armchair?

Andrew

Lovely quiet location surrounded by many birds and countryside. Hen house is well equipped and warm. hot tub in private situation yet with views over fields. Welcome pack including prosecco very nice. Hosts friendly. Convenient location 10 mins from shops. Would definitely come back! Road is a little rough and due to heavy rain partially flooded but passable. Does need a new frying pan. Ensuite Shower doesnt drain properly. Main bathroom smelt stagnant before first use but then ok.

Barbara

Had a lovely stay at Hen House, the basin in ensuite is only a hand wash basin not able to clean teeth or wash as shelf above too low tend to hit your head! ! The sofa in lounge very tired, also would be nice to have a arm chair as we tended to sit in a line not good for chatting. The kitchen lacked tumbler glasses for G and T only had plastic ! Apart form these issues the house was clean and beds comfortable a real bonus to have hot tub which we used each day Shame about the weather very wet!!! Hope to return in future.

Brilliant stay and great quality accommodation! Hot tub was brilliant !

The kitchen was underequipped, with no casserole dishes or a paring knife for preparing vegetables, and the fridge was too small and not clean. There was no companion set for the log burner. The blinds were too small for the windows and doors. The wet room had an unpleasant smell, and the floor was a slipping hazard we both slipped, which felt very unsafe. There were also no grab rails for guests who may be less able. The ensuite had an unpleasant smell throughout the week, likely due to drainage problems, and there were bubbles appearing outside in the soakaway. This requires urgent attention as it may present health and safety concerns. The owners were very kind and accommodating, but the issues raised should be addressed promptly. We would appreciate feedback. It was an expensive stay, and the issues with the smells and safety concerns significantly affected the experience. We would not have stayed had we been aware of the problem beforehand. Overall, we were disappointed with the accommodation.

The Hen House is in a great location. Close to all attractions such as the National Memorial Arboretum, Cannock Chase, Lichfield, Middleport Pottery etc. The hosts were welcoming and left welcome treats which were much appreciated. Would definitely stay again and a few little tweaks would help An extra armchair so four adults could sit more comfortably, a sharp veg knife for those who want to eat in and the wet room drainage is not good. But this did not spoil our stay, and it is a lovely retreat for both humans and dogs.

We all really enjoyed our stay. Very relaxing and comfortable. So quiet, possibly a bit remote for some, but we loved it. All the facilities in the lodge that you could need. I could actually move in permanently tomorrow.

Sharon

We had a really enjoyable stay at the Hen House. It is a lovely place, well decorated, maintained and spotless. The enclosed beautiful garden is an absolute winner, especially keeping our rescue dog secure! The surrounding areas are beautiful with lots of places to visit and to go to eat. The hot tub is superb, giving us much needed chilling out time. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend the Hen House as a place to stay and unwind .

Very relaxing holiday. The only negative about the property is that its accommodation for 4 and 1 settee and a dinning table that sits 3 people. Having said that I enjoyed every minute of our stay.

The Hen House is a lovely place to stay. It has all you need, including a hot tub! It was beautifully clean and very comfortable

This was the perfect location for a book club. The cottage is beautifully decorated and brilliantly designed. The hot tub was large and comfortable for four people. The views were gorgeous and we saw a few owls on our final evening observing us from the tree overlooking the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils. Martin was very helpful and friendly when he came to show us how to work the hot tub. Would definitely book again!

Jessica

The holiday cottage is maintained to a good condition. The property was warm and inviting with lots of helpful information provided. The hot tub is well maintained and is a large part of what makes the property appealing to our young family as we spent most afternoons in it after venturing out for a little fresh air in the morning it would have been difficult to keep our five year old busy at the property without it! The owner is friendly and accommodating. We would like to return if given the chance.

An excellent property with great facilities.

Malcolm

Beautiful peaceful very clean, went for Xmas and loved every minute, hot tub was fab, love to go back in summer when its dry.

This place if absolutely fantastic

Natalee

What a wonderful time we had! The cabin was absolutely spotless and our hosts were so welcoming and friendly. We will be back again soon!

An absolutely lovely place to stay, peaceful and relaxing, and the hot tub was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Shirley

The beds were comfortable but much too high for small people or people with arthritis. The sofa in the lounge was too low, for the same reasons and difficult to get up from. There were no other comfy chairs in the property, only 4 kitchen chairs. No chairs in the bedrooms. The cups and glasses were in a cupboard too high to reach and behind a board which made it difficult to get them out. There were also lots of flies about. Fly spray was provided but made no noticeable difference.

We had a lovely stay at the Hen House. We loved the privacy the cottage gave us, the views over the fields and, of course, the hot tub. The prosecco was a nice touch, thank you. Hayley was great with communication in the lead up to and during our stay and it was nice that she met us when we arrived. We found the property smaller than we expected the photos show a kitchen, dining area and a small living area but to get the furnitute like this, the sofa would need to be almost touching the opposite side. The table was folded down next to the side wall rather than behind the sofa as shown and the chairs didn't fit under it making g the already small space seem smaller. We were lucky with the weather and ate outside most days but if the weather had not been kind we would have had to rearrange the furniture to fold the table out to fit the 4 of us 2 children, 2 adults. This is not what we had hoped for so we just didn't use the table. This was disappointing. The second bedroom was also much smaller than we expected and a bit of a squeeze for the 2 children. We had our labrador with us too, and it just felt a bit cramped. Overall though, we had a pleasant stay. We would recommend the Wolesley Arms pub in Wolesley Bridge great after a dog walk by the canal and the Shugborough estate in Cannock Chase. We also made the 50 minute trip to Ironbridge for the victoriana museum and that was doable. There were also lovely walks from the cottage and we took the dog round the fields at the back, where there is a little stream.

My mum and I have just returned from a wonderful weeks stay at the hen house with our 2 dogs. We both had an incredible time & would love to go again! The location is far better than I expected, I originally booked as I thought it was the Peak District and although its not, its still fabulous. So many wonderful walks on your doorstep, Trentham gardens was wonderful as was the canal walks at great Haywood. The hot tub is amazing and speaking with the lovely owner Martin upon leaving he informed me he emptys the tub every changeover which was great to hear. The beds and really comfortable and the whole place is brilliantly looked after. Lovely enclosed garden too. The front gardens hedge has almost grown up enough to just have a little gate for that to be enclosed to so that may be something the owners could consider? If you are looking for a place in a great location, complete privacy and peaceful environment i thoroughly recommend the hen house. It has given me such fabulous memories with my mum.

We stayed in both properties The Hen House and Hen House View as a family of 4 adults, 2 little children and a small dog. This is a lovely, peaceful, countryside retreat within close proximity of shops and activities. Very private. Very comfortable beds, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Fridge is standard under the counter size but with Tescos and Morrisons not far away thats not a problem. Fridge in Hen House View is bigger. The six of us ate comfortably in The Hen House on a rainy day. Martin offered to bring extra chairs but we didnt need them. Good BBQ which was adequate size for all of us and we enjoyed the food we cooked from Canalside butchers. They also have a good range of fresh fruit and veg. We ate outside whenever weather allowed. Hot tub is a great size and the children loved it. WiFi worked well for us. Nice small enclosed garden which was good for keeping the children and small dog safe. Trips to Lichfield, Amerton Farm, Trentham Gardens and the Monkey Forest all greatly enjoyed. Ye Old Dun Cow was good for food and within walking distance although we found it a little expensive. This was our 2nd stay at The Hen House. All in all we had a lovely time and would love to return again. Thank you Haley and Martin for the welcome treats and for the use of your properties.

Our stay at Hen House was lovely. We had beautiful views from the back garden and we saw pheasants and rabbits. The property owner Hayley didnt meet us and was quite laps with answering enquires. However we did meet Charlie and he was extremely helpful. The first day we didnt have heating or hot water but Charlie was there within half an hour and fixed it for us. The listing states the fields surrounding the property can be used if dogs are on leads but this is untrue. We were told its private land and couldnt be explored. This was disappointing. The BBQ was filthy so couldnt be used. I booked through Homes to go which didnt give an option to add dogs to booking which caused a bit of an issue so this listing needs to be amended. The listing states freeview but it is not set up. We tried to use Apps on Tv ITVX but it kept stopping because the WiFi is unreliable. The bait box in garden is of concern when taking dogs and would be a risk to small children also.

Andrea

A beautiful little retreat. I will definitely be booking there again.

Louise

Absolutely gorgeous

Really lovely property but there were only 2 of us. 3 seater sofa so if theres 4 of you its a dining chair. Tv small & plenty of room for a bigger one in lounge. Lovely stay Owners very helpful Would stay again

We really enjoyed our stay. ..some great local walks etc. The kitchen was well equipped and the hot tub was exceptional. Only a couple of points 1 an additional comfortable chair in the living room would be nice 2 the mattress in the main bedroom is ready for changing. Overall, we had a fabulous time. Thank you.

Michael

Perfect place to stay for a getaway from the norm,has absolutely everything you need to just turn up and relax. Would 100 recommend this property and will definitely be returning in the near future.

The Hen House was lovely. R clean, cosy and the hot tub was brilliant. Great location really peaceful but within driving distance of lots to do. Would highly recommend!

Natasha

Stunning property in a nice secluded area. The property is very clean and has absolutely everything you could need to make your stay perfect. Loved the cosy feel of the property and the hot tub is amazing especially after a long walk. Plenty to do and see in the area within walking or short drive. Can not fault our staff and the host were lovely and very helpful on places to explore in the area. I would definitely recommend and would love to return in the future.

We had a fantastic stay at The Hen House, what a gem of a place right in the countryside away from everything. The place was clean, comfortable and so peaceful and very close to many different walks to go on adventures for the day. The pub and a local shop are just a 10 minute walk away. The hot tub was an added bonus with views over the fields which was lovely and we enjoyed watching cows in the distant fields in the morning with a coffee. We got engaged during our stay, so this place will always be a special place for us now. We would love to come back in the future. Thank you!

Patrick

Beautiful place which has been decorated really nicely & has been maintained really well. Martin met us on arrival to show how to use the hot tub and gave us a great overview for some nice walks around the area. The house had everything you could possibly need. The bed was comfortable, the showers were nice and powerful and the garden was enclosed which was great with the dog. Highly recommend the hen house!

Hen House is a lovely modern building with some nice touches of the original building style. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with all mod cons, including a hot tub! Set in the countryside but close enough to excellent pubs and restaurants, we highly recommend the Old Dun Cow nearby and the Italian La Terrazza in Rugeley. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The only thing worth of note is that the layout is quite compact in line with the Hen House theme, the kitchendinerliving room is dominated by a lovely big leather sofa, ideal for a family with children, but limited space for the table, and needed some shuffling for us 4 adults. This did not distract from our stay, lovely beds, good showers and everything provided. Well recommended.

Richard

Very pleasant stay Very clean and everything we needed was there Highly recommend it for a relaxing week

Stephen

We usually stay in Peak District but found Hen House someway south in Staffordshire and were very impressed, didn't want to leave and would go back tomorrow! Fabulous accommodation, fabulous location.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hen House. The house was perfect and had pretty much everything you would need for a relaxing break. Our little dog Pluto enjoyed relaxing in the quiet garden after a day of walking around some of the local landmarks, and the hot tub was perfect for us to do the same! We visited Shugborough Hall, Cannock Chase and Rosliston Forestry Centre, all of which were within a half hour drive we also visited the local village of Abbots Bromley and had a lovely meal at The Bagot Arms. The only negatives I could give would be the unreliable WIFI and the small fridge freezer We stayed for a week and brought our own food, the freezer is just one shelf.

Great place well appointed clean convenient made me happy
