The Old Smokehouse

• "The property was really small, had to watch TV on bed, sofa that was provided was too small when both sat on sofa we were shoulder to shoulder."

  Bathroom was really small, sat on the toilet could touch door with knees, tight space to dry off once out the shower, shower and cubicle was good. Piping hot water, heaters worked. Kitchen really small, only made breakfast which was tricky, no worktop space to use, plug in hob which was in the cupboard. Bed was uncomfortable we could feel the springs, we slept on the top of the bed.we had to take painkillers every morning because of back pain. Outside space was much larger, very nice, hot tub was nice and clean. Road noise was horrendous, we were woken up early every morning. We left a day early. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend the old smoke house to anyone, we wouldn't go again our experience wasn't restful at all. I had sent the owners a message explaining all of these issues, before we left the property.

• "The Old Smokehouse is exactly as pictured."

  We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The owners were very welcoming and really looked after us, they were the best hosts we have had so far. The cottage is central to everything in the area either walking or by car and we had some great days out, some at the suggestion of our hosts. We would definitely go back as there are still more places to visit. The garden and hot tub were a definite plus, private and peaceful, we loved it!

  We would recommend, very lovely service & place to stay. We would recommend keeping a little book so we can write our reviews in as a little touch, also recommend bigger / more towels :)! More cleaning facilities like antibacterial wipes / spray, tea towels or kitchen paper to dry the dishes so we can maintain the cleanliness.

  Which was very nice of him Only noticeable thing was that the space to get into bed was limited for anyone much older than us That could not be helped and it didn't affect our holiday

  We were both really pleased with the entire experience. The owners were really friendly and accommodating. We appreciated how they went out of their way to make the place feel welcoming, and it was especially nice that they decorated the place for my birthday. The place itself is cosy and is exactly as shown in the pictures. There are lovely forest walks and pubs nearby, so the Smokehouse is in a great location if you're wanting a peaceful getaway. We would definitely come back here again and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about coming to stay here.

  Hi Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the inconvenience when checking the hot tub but unfortunately it a requirement of the regulations surrounding hot tub use. We do try to time our visits so as not to cause inconvenience but this is not always possible. Safety of our guests is a priority and a clean well maintained hot tub will ensure that everyone has a pleasant hot tub experience. Regards Paul and Lesley Property Owner

  Lesley greeted us upon arrival and really went above and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. This stay was everything that we wanted and more! The accommodation was immaculate and the hot tub was so relaxing. If I could give the accommodation and the service a rating higher than 10 then I definitely would! If you're looking for a couples getaway for you and your significant other I can't think of a better option than the Old Smokehouse. We will definitely be returning and I can't wait to book again! Thank you so much Paul and Lesley for making our stay so memorable ❤️

  The location is amazing, only a short walk to Cannock Chase where there is lots to do and see. Also, only a short drive to Rugeley for shops and pubs. The smokehouse was a lovely place, cosy but had everything you need. The garden is perfect for summer with a bbq, fire pit, chairs and a hot tub. With the weather being so nice, we spent most of our time in the garden. Lesley came round to check the hot tub and she was so friendly and welcoming, and couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely stay!

  Lesley was the perfect host, so helpful she even offered us snacks for our long journey home! The cottage itself had everything we needed, we made use of the bbq on the first night and knocked up a full English in the fully equipped kitchen the following morning, then went out for Sunday lunch at a pub the second day. It was much bigger than we thought but yet still cosy! The hot-tub was fab and so relaxing at the end of each day! There is plenty to do around the local area, with the forest just across the road for walks, lots of country pubs a short drive away and we even stopped at the McArthur glen shopping outlet on the way home! Overall would definitely recommend and will probably be back again soon!

• "We met Lesley, the owner shortly after arrival."

  She was lovely, friendly and genuinely cared that we enjoyed our stay and time in the area. The old smokehouse conversion is done to a high spec and a very clever use of space. We had a comfortable stay with everything we could need. The outdoor area and hot tub is well set out and a nice area to relax after a walk in the forest or a day shopping! We felt so cozy and relaxed, that we didn't go out for a meal as intended, but were happy to cater for ourselves and use a local take away. Lesley is planning to make some tweaks to improve the cottage further, but we were more than satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to return if back in the area. Cannock Chase Forest is just over the road and we enjoyed a lovely walk, even though our weather wasn't that good. It has some great features for families and a good little cafe too.

  TV is in the bedroom not in the lounge so if you wanted to watch tele whilst eating or drinking you had to sit on the bed! Outside space was great. Hot tub didn't have the most powerful jets and temperature dropped quite quickly. Having said that perfect base if you want to stay in the heart of Cannock Chase and explore.

• "Owner, Lesley was lovely, welcoming and really helpful."

  Showed us round and asked if there was anything we needed. The Smokehouse was a relaxing getaway, which was what we had planned. Didn't really want to venture out too much, only downside to this was the property is small & the only TV is in the bedroom. We cooked a few times and there isn't anywhere to sit and eat, apart from your plate on your lap. Sitting in the garden in the summer would be fine, but we stayed in November. That said, we appreciate they have a limited space and have tried to squeeze in as much as possible. On the whole, it was a great stay, relaxing & quiet, lovely countryside if you want to take walks etc. We would recommend a short break there.... And oh yeh the hot tub if fabulous!!!

  It was so clean and had everything we needed. Lesley was so friendly and welcoming and always checked if we needed anything! (Will definitely buy your woodwork too) Hot tub and bbq was amazing and relaxing. The bed was very comfy and shower was lush. In the first morning The electric hob wasn’t working but after letting Paul know their lovely son had brought us a new one within the hour. The only small issue we had was the oven is a tad small and it takes double the time to cook anything. Nearly an hour on 220 for potato waffles. But we just then used the bbq as the weather was good. Overall it was lush and perfect accommodation for our little holiday! Location was perfect for exploring around the area, lots to do that we want to come back again!

  Was given a run through on the property and the hot tub and advise on local attractions, shopping and restaurants. The property is very small but is nicely done. Our stay was for a week and even though small, we found the cottage had everything we needed to make our holiday comfortable and enjoyable. Our only feedback to the owner was that some sort of table or lap trays would be good for meal times, turns out they already have this in hand for the future. The local area is stunning and if you enjoy being outdoors, this is a perfect location to walk or cycle from or to have easy access to other suitable areas. The hot tub is just perfect to return to after a long walk, nicely positioned in the garden with cover and high fence to provide privacy. We would definitely consider coming back to this property.

  For us it lacked somewhere to actually sit an eat…possibly because the accommodation is so very small. We think it would be better to remove the sofa bed and chest and replace with a small table and chairs. It is shame there is no TV in the living space, TV can only be watched from the bedroom and hot tub. Plus the bathroom is accessed from the living space and not the bedroom which we found odd. Overall the accommodation just wasn’t big enough for what we like.

  We went for my fiance's birthday and they decorated the cottage with balloons and banners and made it really special. There was lovely touches like things for breakfast and biscuits, which were lovely and made it really homely. We would definitely come back.

• "Well what can I say?"

  ! Firstly - THANK YOU!! What a beautiful cottage in a stunning location with faultless owners. From the minute we arrived we were greeted by the owner Paul and made to feel welcome. The property is absolutely amazing, cute and cosy, yet with everything you could need and more. The finer attention to detail with welcome pack, matching dressing gowns and classy interior made this the ultimate relaxing break. With the Forest on the doorstep and plenty of attractions within easy reach we couldn’t have chosen better. The garden with hot tub, chiminea and bbq was nothing short of pure tranquility to relax away the dark evenings. Perfect place that we will be most definitely returning to. Well done Paul and Lesley - you should be very proud
