    “Lovely quaint cottage. Clean, well equipped, easy check in. Space to park. We didn't use the log burner but I can imagine how lovely and cosy it would have been to sit by the fire for the evening.”

Rosie and Stu
The Old Stables at Blackshaw Farm is a cosy gem situated in North Staffordshire, nestled between the historic market towns; Leek and Buxton. Based on a 200 acre working Farm home to dogs and cows, this cosy two bed cottage with log fire is Ideal for walkers, climbers, bikers, cyclists, and dog owners. Bordering Cheshire and the Derbyshire Peak District, we are surrounded by stunning views of the Roaches mountain range, reservoirs, within 5 miles of Alton Towers, and have access to an abundance of country pubs! All guests please be informed that the cottage is heated purely by a pot stove fire, which heats the radiators throughout. There are instructions how best to work the fire in your welcome pack, if you have any concerns please contact us prior to booking.
Stu and Rosie run a 200 acre beef farm in North Staffordshire, we have a 2 bed converted Stables available and Stu also runs the UKs premier off road motorcycle school from the farm. We live on site so are typically around should you need us. We are happy to greet you on arrival. We do have three free roaming working golden retrievers who will come and say hello, they are friendly but if you have a fear of dogs, this property perhaps is not for you. We can advise great local pubs, restaurants and activities just give us a quick text or call on site if we are not around for any of your needs during your stay!
