Slitting Mill Annex Reviews

Simply the perfect place to stay. Wonderful accommodation with exceptional views and attention to detail. Very accommodating host and lovely pub just around the corner.
We had a very pleasant stay at the 'Slitting Mill Annex', everything you could need for a short break was provided. We had a lovely time, just what we needed for our 10th Anniversary. Food at the 'The Horns', a short walk away, was very tasty and reasonably priced.
Jeanette
A lovely apartment with everything you need. Great hot tub to chill in. A few minutes drive from Cannock Chase. Short drive into Lichfield. Great pub with fantastic food right on the doorstop.
Lovely property for the two of us. Very clean and well equipped, the hot tub was great for relaxing in after a long day of walking.
This was our second visit and everything was fantastic once again. Would definitely recommend and hope to return next year.
Fantastic studio with hot tub. Well equipped with complimentary toiletries, drinks, milk and a jar of chocolate bars in the fridge. Plus two bottles of lager. Very clean with lovely views over the fields. Information in the studio with useful numbers and suggestions of restaurants and places to visit. The number of the owners is provided if we needed them but apart from that we were left alone. Very considerate emailing to ask if we wanted the hot tub temperature reducing in the heat. Would highly recommend.
We had a fantastic stay. The accomodation was very clean and very well equipped. The hot tub was a great especially after a day walking. Cannock Chase was very close for walks and biking it also has a Go Ape. Owners answered questions we had very promptly and were extremely helpful. We are hoping to return in the never future.

Cannock Chase is close by for walksbike rides. The hot tub is a real treat too The hosts were friendly and considerate but left us to have our own space. Five stars
We had to leave early due to ill health which we we so gutted about. However Amazing property Inside and out amd has everything you need and more. The comfort is on top form & made us feel so cosy and like being at home. I loved the duvet cover so much I purchased one before I left. The home owner johnathan answered every query I had from St to finish & even welcomed us back in the future. This is such a cosy peacefully tranquil romantic accommodation Inside and out. Hot tub is perfect and even the surroundings makes it super cosy. Pub next door but so quiet we head nothing even staying for new year we heard no noise from it. And great forest on their door step too. I use sykes alot for bookings bit this has to be one of my best properties iv stayed on yet the smallest I stayed in but honestly it's just on top score for comfort, cleanliness perfect, homely feel, picturesque , and so much more for this accommodation
Kelechi
We really enjoyed our stay. There was nothing to complain about. Our apartment was very clean, warm and had all we needed and more i.e. Netflix and cutlery. We will definitely recommend this holiday experience to our friends and family.
The property was everything and more couldnt ask for a better stay will be back in the future.
Lauren
The property was lovely and we definitely had a relaxing weekend which is why I booked it. The facilities provided were great! The decor made it very cosy and homely! I think the only thing we struggled with was the heat as it was quite warm and we didnt know how to change the heating etc. Overall, a lovely place to stay and I will 100 recommend to others!
Excellent studio apartment quiet and peaceful looking across the countryside. Really spacious and beautifully appointed would definitely stay again.
