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?
