About this property
Alton 2.5 miles. Abbey View Farm Cottage is a detached cottage set in 103 acres within the curtilage of Abbey View Farm, in the village of Croxden, Staffordshire. Boasting stunning views overlooking Croxden Abbey which was built in 1178 by the Cistercian monks and Abbey View Farm cottage, dating back to the 1600's, offers a charming bolthole for couples seeking a weekend away in Staffordshire. Follow a single-track lane to the cottage, where you can leave the car directly outside in the off-road parking area, before stepping into your new home-from-home. Pop off your shoes and make yourself comfortable in the sitting room, getting the woodburning stove roaring before flicking on the Smart TV and easing into the evening. The kitchen/diner is equipped with all the necessary amenities so that you can cook up a storm, perfect for enjoying a romantic dinner with your loved one. On those warmer evenings, escape to the enclosed garden patio, complete with furniture, the perfect spot to admire the views of the rolling hills of the Staffordshire countryside. As the night grows dark, head to the shower room for a freshen up before retreating to the double bedroom to catch some shut eye. In the morning, take a short car journey to the town of Rocester, home to a selection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants. A similar distance away lies Alton Towers, one of the most popular theme parks in the country, home to thrilling rides and a fantastic waterpark, a must for adrenaline junkies. If you’d prefer a more leisurely day of exploring, see a variety of species at the Peak Wildlife Park or embark on a hike around Dimmingsdale Valley & Furnace Forest Walks. Why not head to Uttoxeter and experience the atmosphere at a race day? Choose Abbey View Farm Cottage for a romantic stay in Staffordshire.
The attractive rural village of Alton lies on the western fringes of the Peak District in lovely moorland countryside, between the market towns of Leek and Ashbourne.

Dovedale and the limestone Churnet Valley are on the doorstep and The Manifold Trail is close by. There is easy access to many of the area's attractions including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Lyme Park (NT) as seen in TV’s Pride & Prejudice and the NT Ilam Estate. A great touring base for all the Peak District - and Alton Towers with its many rides and attractions is just a short drive away!

A real home from home. Marion, the host was excellent. She called round the evening we arrived to check everything was ok for us ( it definitely was) and the goodies she had left for us were brilliant and much appreciated. We hope to return possibly November time. We already know it will be lovely and cosy. Thank you Marion for being so caring about your guests.
