Hen House View Reviews

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!
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.

Always enjoy the holiday at hen house,my wife and I always love the peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of city streets. Can't wait for the return to country life. Didn't see Haley this time she was away on holiday,But Her husband Martin was there but they never bother you and are always there for assistance. Can't wait to get back into the hot tub again. Francis.
Lovely place. Muddy on road as you leave so bring boots but accommodation was perfect
Danielle
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
Your advert for this property is wrong, Hen House View is located in Staffordshire and not Derbyshire. The property is lovely, the overgrown tree outside the building near the hot tub could do with cutting back. Everything you need is at this property and welcome pack is extremely thoughtful and appreciated. Prospective customers should be aware that some heavy plant and traffic on the one 1 track lanes due to 2 farms in the vicinity. We did our homework, as we had a dog with us we booked with being able to walk to 2 pubs for food, the Ye Olde Dun Cow in is not dog friendly unless you sit outside so weather permissive, The Greyhound is dog friendly and the home cooked food reviews looked good, however, when we arrived, the landlord said it was a wet pub and did not provide food even though it said that they do on the front of the building. Just be aware of this. Lovely getaway though, cant go wrong with HayleyMartin and the property, great private hot tub and secure grounds for the dog. Thanks for having us.
The pictures of the garden could do with updating, as its much more private and secure now. The frying pans could do with replacing.
Vanessa
Lovely location, piecefull and quiet. Lovely food at ye old sun cow would highly recommend.
We absolutely loved our stay and have already booked again for my birthday. We had everything you could think of and the welcome gift was a lovely touch. It was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfy. The hot tub was amazing and we spent lots of time in there. There are two nice pubs within walking distance and the host was very informative about things to do.
Weve stayed at Hen House View twice now once in the winter and once in the summer. Both times we have thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. A bottle of Prosecco and a bag of crisps greet you, which a lovely gesture and gets the holiday off to a good start. Theyve spent money on all the right things spacious and high quality bathroom, super king bed, log burner and heated floor throughout the bathroom and living space. Everything you need is thoughtfully provided. The small but sweet garden is fully enclosed and feels very private. Theres lots of quiet walks around the area, perfect for dogs and people to explore. The local village shop, The Cow Shed in Colton, is well worth a visit, I recommend the takeaway lasagne. Overall I highly recommend this place and we look forward to our next visit.
Lovely stay, secure and private garden, perfect for our dog. Inside had everything we needed for our stay, very comfortable bed. Pub only 10 minutes walk, with nice food and a fabulous little shop. Dog was allowed in the pub garden and marquee. Easily able to access Cannock Chase forest, Litchfield, the cathedral is dog friendly, national memorial arboretum. Perfect stay with lovely touches like fizz, milk and crisps. Thank you for a wonderful stay Hayley
