Gerald
Lovely & quiet, Very clean & comfortable, everything you need and more. Hot Tub was amazing, a real bonus. Would recommend and hope to return.
Madeleine
Me and my partner booked for a quiet anniversary weekend and Hen House View was just perfect. The facilities and the maintenance were outstanding and the hosts were extremely nice and welcoming too. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet stay. We will definitely be coming back again.
An absolutely beautiful and tranquil little cottage. The hot tub was amazing & we had everything we needed as well as a bottle of fizz & crisps from Hayley & Martin which was a lovely surprise. Its the perfect place to chill, unwind and enjoy quality time together. Our dog Rocco loved it too!
Louisa
We had the best time at Hen House View! Everything was spotlessly clean and we felt so welcome. The rooms were very spacious and the outside space was perfect! We definitely recommend taking the 10 minute walk to Ye Olde Dun Cow, we had an amazing meal there. We will definitely be back
Brenda
We really enjoyed the hot tub, and the modern bath fits two comfortably. The bed was really comfortably. Lovely location, the owners were easy to get, oncall, very helpful and considerate. The TV was disappointing we had problems with the firestick and the remote controls didn't want to play. A DVD player would have been nice. The kitchen has everything you'd want including a cafetiere and induction hob stove.
Veronica
As good as ever lovely place . Very relaxing owners great .the greyhound pub a walk to colton lovely beer friendly people thank you to all I'm sure we will return .
Beautiful second stay in this property, absolutely loved every minute
Veronica
Lovely place ,as good as always been ,great place to stay and relax in ,all enjoyed again thankyou to all that look after this place.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hen House View. The Lodge was very clean and perfect to come back to after lovely long walks out across the fields with the bonus of the hot tub. Fantastic facilities provided and the parking was spacious. Would highly recommend.
As before it was a great relaxing weekend, this time we took the dog to the memorial place about 30 mins away which was really good. Its a great little place but with all you need. Hot tub is brilliant. Only thing we do is keep the bedroom curtains and lounge nets closed all the time as you can see in, but that doesnt spoil the trip
Booked our stay at Henhouse View, whilst having some house renovations. Despite the snow and the rain, we had a lovely stay. The cabin was warm and cosy. There is everything you could need for your brake away. The underfloor heating is very good, we did not need to use the log burner at all. Lovely kingsize bed. There is an amazing bath in the bathroom, as well as the hot tub outside, which was exceptionally clean and a great temperature for the January daysevenings. Owners and Staff were very polite and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend for a couple and their pooch.
An ideal place to stay for a couple that are looking for a quiet get away. The property is well maintained and clean. The bed is the most comfortable we have slept in away from home and the hot tub is ideal for a relaxing rest.
Hot tub was good and nice and clean. Log burn stove was good and heated the whole house. Would come again.
Veronica
10 out of 10 lovely place cosy even in wet weather thank you xxx
The time here was excellent. The weatehr was good and we visited severl National Trust properties as well as two visits to Lichfield Cathedral. The hot tub was made use of every night, and the underfloor heating was most welcome.
I really enjoyed the Hen house View beautiful, bed was so comfortable slept so well, hot tube was a real treat used it every day, I will be booking again to stay there next year. Owners have made it lovely
My partner and I had an absolutely wonderful stay, our host were lovely and the facilities were brilliant.
Veronica
Superb place 1010 had lovely weekend . Spotlessly clean everything you need for a relaxed break .can't fault anything .
An excellent week away in a well maintained and presented property. The hot tub was a brilliant way to relax and the king sized bed was probably 1 of the most comfortable beds I have slept in when away from home. Overall it was what we both needed and would recommend the property to anyone and would definitely stay there again. 10 out of 10
Annemarie
You very unlucky it was so hot weather when we stayed. I know it was not with an AC when I booked it but you should have had some fans in the apartment in case of need. It was impossible to sleep well. Otherwise I loved it!!

Absolutely fantastic stay in 5 star accomodation, every aspect was perfect, from the hot tub to the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in. Little touches like the drink and crisps waiting for us on arrival were very gratefully received. Couldn't recommend any higher, in fact we've already recommended to friends and family while we were away
Fantastic little romantic cottage in a beautiful secluded location within easy reach of Rugeley town centre and Cannock Chase. Beautifully furnished and meticulously clean with everything you need to hand. Super king bed was extremely comfortable. Garden has been fully enclosed since pictures were taken but very nicely done. Fabulous hot tub perfect for relaxing after a long day walking. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

A beautiful and tranquil cottage set in amazing surroundings. Had a lovely weekend get away where we could just relax from the rat race. The cottage is stunning and caters for every need. The hot tub was so relaxing and the bed was so comfortable. We'd love to stay again. Thank you
A lovely peaceful retreat, everything provided for a relaxing stay. Kitchen facilities excellent, bedroom comfortable, spacious bathroom and the bonus of a hot tub!
What to say about Hen House? We had the most wonderful stay and my partner had the best birthday! From the hot tub, the big bath and bed, to the underfloor heating which was unexpected as not advertised, Hen House has set a very high standard and bar for future stay aways.
Wonderful accommodation, just right for 2 people. Very warm and cosy, the bed was very comfortable indeed. Plenty of cleaning products and little essentials like tin foil and dishwasher tabs. The hot tub was welcoming after those long country walks.
We had a week. And what a gorgeous place there is nothing that they had missed it was so well thought out. The hot tub the log fire the bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was huge. It was so quiet and relaxing outside. We would definitely recommend it. Our dog had a lovely holiday as well his first.
Francis
Exceptional rural retreat, cozy, relaxing, country walks, pub close by though we didnt partake as we were totally self sufficient, hot tub bathing into the late night soothing tired muscles and gazing up into the endless night skybliss!
Really enjoyed stay. Kitchen tap needs securing properly. Normal size egg slice in kitchen would be good, not metal large bbq one. We had a lovely relaxing time. Bed comfortable. Nice welcome gift. Highly recommend
