About this property
Nestled in the Lower Gorsty Birch Farm, enveloped by greenery, is this stylish barn-conversion, Robin's Rest. Enjoying a blend of traditional features with exposed beams and brickwork, as well as contemporary décor, this one-bedroom holiday home is idyllic for a romantic retreat. Upon arrival, park up on the driveway, to make unloading an easy task and admire the charming single-storey home. Step inside to discover the open-plan living space, where you can whip up culinary delights in the matte grey kitchen area with an electric oven and induction hob to assist you. When dinner is served, settle down at the dining table and you can put the little one in the highchair; afterwards snuggle up on the sofa and flicker through the Smart TV for a film night in. Throw open the patio doors to discover the enclosed garden and climb into the hot tub to stargaze as your worries melt away. When sleep calls, a king-size bed awaits, with storage to house your belongings and a wet room to prepare for a night's embrace. Awaken with a cup of tea in the morning sunshine on the outdoor furniture as you and your other half plan for the day ahead. Head out for breakfast to the close-by Red Brick Cafe, for a home-cooked treat and locate the train station just a short stroll away to explore this scenic region. Why not indulge in a shopping spree at the 725-acres of Trentham Gardens or visit the unique Trentham Monkey Forest to see swinging monkeys?

The attention to detail is first class and it is well maintained. Everything that you could want is there and the Welcome Pack is great. The ginger biscuits for the goats are a nice touch - rattle the tin when you go out on the back and they will come running. We loved finishing off the day in the hot tub. We had a lovely, restful much needed break.

It really is an idillic retreat with lots of lovely home comforts. We loved our welcome box, and biscuits for the goats who eagerly met us in the morning. Thank you to Claire and Phil for all of the thought that has gone in to providing such a lovely place to stay. Hope to be back again.
