Delightful house in Stone, Staffordshire close to lovely canal side walks.

Property is in a lovely picturesque canal side setting (Trent and Mersey canal) with lots of country/canal side walks on the doorstep. Lounge balcony with table and chairs overlooking the canal. One of the bedrooms looks at the rolling local countryside hills known as the Common Plot (or aka Mudley Pits) with many fine tree specimens. The property is also very close to the Downs Banks (2 miles) which also has many fine walks . Many attractions close by, Alton Towers (15 miles), Cannock Chase (10 miles), Trentham Monkey Trail (4 miles), Trentham Park and Gardens and Shrugborough Hall (10 miles) and of course the pottery giants such as Wedgewoods (4 miles), who's ancestral estate and factory shop is also not far away, for fine china lovers. Close to the Cheshire and Shropshire borders. The Staffordshire Moorlands and Peak district is also not far away and makes a nice day trip, particularly to Ashbourne, Ilam (25 miles) which is in the magnificent scenery of the Manifold valley with its Saxon roots and Swiss style cottages. Also try out an excellent spa day at the spa facilities and gym at Moddershall Oaks.3 excellent golf courses all within local vicinity, one within walking distance. Lovely part of the country with excellent walks. Stone itself is a pretty little market town with Morrisons and the Co-op for self-catering needs and a wealth of excellent local restaurants, all within walking distance of the property for a nice evening out. A train station is also within a brief walking distance. Market held in the town centre with excellent local produce and delicacies. An area rich in history and folklore. Once the centre of Mercia, an ancient kingdom established in AD 665. Check out Wikipedia for an overview of Stone and some of its local history. Sleeps 6-8.

Overall
Very good for vacation rental. Some may find shower stalls too small; also some may find the modern fixtures in bathrooms and kitchen require some basic explanation/directions for use (i.e. too late when in shower and no glasses on to find out which faucett to use and how).

Family Wedding
We chose to stay here as we were at our nieces wedding at Sandon Hall only 10 minutes away. We had decided to make a weekend of it with our Son and Mum. The house is lovely and clean, we didn't experience the surrounding area other than the supermarket. The house is in a quiet residential area, with Morrisons and Aldi close by if you need them. We did have a couple of teething problems on arrival, one being we couldn't find the towels on arrival, we found them in a wardrobe when looking for the boiler instructions. However, Lisa did respond to me and we were all sorted. Our only comment to Lisa & Dominic would be to put all the Utility instructions in a folder for easy finding, we have stopped at many places before in the UK & abroad and this has always been a great help, especially if you're only there a couple of nights.

Beautiful home!
Pictures don't do property justice. Many rentals are kitted out very minimally but this was a true homely home ... everything you could have wanted was there. It was beautifully presented and immaculate. Location fab ... right by lovely canalside walks. Would highly recommend.

Peace & Quiet.
As the home is described is how the home is. Delightful. Very convenient to make visits within Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Shropshire & Cheshire without even touching the motorway(M6). Although this is conveniently nearby if thats your road of choice. The local town still has much charm with local needs met in both shops & restaurants. The house is in a tranquil setting just steps away from the canal and lovely walks to enjoy the countryside and watch the barges going by at their steady pace. Overall the house is peaceful and cosy and was easy to relax in.. Owner quick to respond and would recommend as your place of stay if you are wishing to be around this area.

Ideal Location for Exploring the Area
Lovely family home for a short break. The house is only about 30metres from the canal, which provides a lovely towpath walk along the canal into the centre of Stone. Chill out time watching the canal boats at the lock gates. The main purpose of our visit to the area was to visit Drayton Manor, Alton Towers and Monkey Forest, this property provided a good base for these. Visiting during Scarefest did mean that we had minimal time to enjoy the house as leaving Alton Towers after 9pm every night. The night that we did light the wood burner it did provide a lovely aroma in the house for a family movie night. Stone has some lovely restaurants, we enjoyed both tapas and Italian. The main street of the village is mainly charity shops though. Only shop on the doorstep is the local petrol station that sells essentials.
