Guests come for the stillness, and return for the way it makes them feel — calmer, clearer and truly restored.
Set in around 12 acres of woodland, this is real country living at its best, but with the convenience of local facilities nearby. 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. Lovely walks are available from the doorstep and access is available to the adjacent field. Please bring suitable footwear some areas may be muddy! Please note that the return walk back is up a steep climb! 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.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 6 guests.

We received a warm welcome from the hosts and a welcome pack of goodies. The accommodation is in a lovely and remote location and was recently converted from a farm building so is well insulated. There are nice views and walks in the vicinity as well as a few country pus nearby and easy access to the peak district. Recommended

Our 2 night stay at Tranquility was amazing! The cottage itself is very clean, comfortable and stylish. Its well equipped with everything you'll need throughout the stay. Carolyn and Ade put together a welcome pack which provides information for all of the local restaurants and places to visit which I thought was a nice touch. We had our dog join us on the trip and there was also some welcome goodies for him including some treats, a ball and blanket which was really appreciated! The location is also perfect, set away from the main road and in the vicinity of lots of dog friendly pubs and restaurants. The countryside provided such a relaxing stay for us and the view from the cottage garden was lovely to wake up to in the mornings. There are quite a few country parks located close to the cottage however I would say that without a car you would be doing A LOT of walking up and downhill! Overall, we were really impressed with our stay and couldn't recommend Carolyn and Ade more. They are brilliant hosts and Ade was there to greet us on arrival. We will be returning in the future for sure and would also recommend to our family and friends.

My Wife and I had a fantastic short break at Tranquility cottage.
My Wife and I had a fantastic short break at Tranquility cottage. Deborah and Ade were absolutely perfect hosts. They communicated brilliantly with us and when they met us made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. There was a fabulous welcome basket on arrival and would have to say that the specification and detail in the cottage was renovated to an immaculate standard by Ade and Deborah. There were lovely pubs a short walk away and many amazing places to see. We took our dogs who were also made welcome with doggie treats and tennis balls, there was even an adjacent field that Ade had ploughed for visitors to walk the dogs. We will definitely be back. We would give it an 11 out of 10.
