About Manor Barn

A luxurious brick-built semi-detached barn conversion on the outskirts of the pretty Staffordshire village of Fulford. Next to the ownerÂ’s home on a working smallholding, the cottage has been finished with high specification solid oak furniture and quality fixtures.

With the addition of fantastic outdoor space, the cottage is equally ideal for a couple, two couples, a small family or a group of four. As you step into the open plan living area, kick off your shoes to take full advantage of the warmth from the underfloor heated wood-effect flooring throughout.

The whole room floods with light from the full height window wall. There are sumptuous sofas where you can flop in front of the designer woodburning stove or maybe watch a movie.

There is a superb modern kitchen with a lovely dining area making for an excellent breakfast. Both bedrooms have lovely views, equally spacious and well-appointed including TVs.

The double room has an en-suite shower room and there is also a bathroom on the landing as well which can effectively serve as an en-suite for the second bedroom. As with the rest of the property the owners have spared no expense on the outside of the cottage.

A raised terrace with patio and lawned area is a fantastic place to sit out and dine alfresco while enjoying the lovely scenery, or take a long soak in the superb hot tub while looking at the unimpeded starlit sky. If you fancy a change of pace and scene, itÂ’s a short drive to the towns of Stone, Stafford and Uttoxeter, each with a great selection of shops, pubs and restaurants.

Uttoxeter is home to a popular racecourse which has meetings throughout the year and the ever-popular Alton Towers theme park is just 12 miles away. With other attractions in the area such as Chatsworth House, Amerton Farm, Shugborough Hall, Cannock Chase, Trentham Gardens, Wedgwood Centre and The Potteries, there is lots to enjoy whatever the season.

Manor Barn Reviews

Victoria
We had a lovely stay at the Manor Barn the house was beautifully presented, the area great and the hot tub a nice bonus! It felt like a real homeawayfromhome stay.
Rachel
Loved our stay at Manor Barn. Beautiful place, and a well equipped property. Had everything we needed. So cosy with the log fire and hot tub. We hope to be back again next year!
Richard
Lovely property and location perfect
Jennifer
Lovely, well equipped barn conversion. Excellent outdoor area with super hot tub and pleasant views. Very well situated for visiting the local area
Beautifully designed barn conversion. Well equipped & furnished with quality goods. Loved the hot tub. A great base for exploring the local area.
Lyndsay
It was a great property and had everything you could need. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. The hot tub was fantastic and had lovely views. Its close to lots of attractions as long as you drive We were able to get a taxi from the property easily. Highly recommend
Beautiful barn, very comfortable and well equipped in a very pretty little village. Fantastic hot tub and surroundings. Nice local pub , serving great food. Area very dog friendly. WiFi very hit and miss , and due to road closures some problems getting around as even sat nav didn't pick them up but out of owners control, who may I add was a very nice guy. Would recommend.
A lovely cottage, some nice field walks and some great pubs for food and drinks in the local area. The cottage was spacious and had a lovely large kitchen. We were lucky with the weather and were able to dine alfresco on the patio and the hot tub was a welcome treat after a day walking. The Monkey Forest was interesting about 20 minute drive.
Great hosts and lovely location. We stayed with our two cocker spaniels and felt super safe to let them out in the garden and not have to worry about them. The hottub was lovely and clean. 1010 experience, thank you so much.
Karren
Thank you for a lovely week at Manor Barn with my dog. Mark and Matt were made us feel very welcome and thank you for the wine. The cottage has been beautifully equipped with everything you could need and the beds in particular are very comfortable. The hot tub was also excellent. One of the best cottages Ive stayed in , The location is also excellent and there are lots of things within easy reach.
Excellent property throughout. Mark was always on hand if we needed anything. The hot tub was great after a day out walking. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice break to chill out and relax. AlanJackie
Helena
Such a lovely property, very well kept and looked after. Cozy and warm with everything you could need and more is at this property. Great owners, available if needed. Peaceful scenic location. We loved our stay and will definitely return. Lovely walks from the property which we enjoyed with our dogs, even with the bad weather. Gorgeous hot tub for unwinding at the end of the day. We could not have asked for more. Thank you so much Mark & Matt.
What an incredible property and just what we were looking for. Our first Christmas away and a perfect location to do it. Private, immaculate and we loved the hot tub. Mark and Matt kept us informed and updated regarding our stay and were on hand to answer questions and make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We would highly recommend Manor Barn to anyone looking for some quiet time with loved ones in a beautiful private setting.
Manor Barn is a beautiful property, a credit to the owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you very much.
Jonathan
Lovely cottage in quiet location and access to good pubs food.
Joanne
Fabulous holiday property. Extremely clean with everything you would need for your break away good quality too. Countryside location but not too rural and felt very safe. Dog friendly. Hot tub was awesome. Loved my time here. Would definitely recommend this property. Thank you.
Nicholas
We had a very enjoyable stay with our dog with at Manor Barn and would highly recommend this property for a very peaceful country getaway in comfortable surroundings. After having a slight issue at the start of our break which was dealt with brilliantly by the owner Mark, we were very impressed with his level of customer service and thank him for dealing with it so efficiently & quickly. The property was super clean and so spacious and the standard of furnishings was of high quality. It was very well equipped and we couldn't really think of anything that was not provided. The hot tub was beautiful with a lovely elevated view of the countryside and perfect to relax in and enjoy the great outdoors. Although this location is in the country it was not that isolated from anything as it had a great pub about 10 mins walk away called 'The Shoulder of Mutton' which was dog friendly and served very nice food. Further afield about 10 15 mins drive we found shops for our supplies. Finally there was a great walk just up the lane from the property which had elevated views over the area which was beautiful and worth exploring. Overall to sum up this property we would not hesitate to go back if in the area and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break in peaceful surroundings which is ideally located for many things.
Carolyn
We enjoyed a lovely stay at Manor Barn. The accommodation was very private and comfortable with lovely facilities. An extra fridge freezer has been added providing plenty of space for chilled and frozen items. The barn was extremely dog friendly with tiled floors, gates at the top and bottom of the stairs and fenced garden. The area was so peaceful and the large hot tub with beautiful countryside views was amazing. Mark and Matthew were very friendly and helpful. The pub in Fulford just five minutes walk away was very welcoming, dog friendly with lovely food. Worth booking to ensure a table. The area has some great places to visit such as Trentham Gardens, Rudyard Lake and Churnet Valley Railway which has Hettys Tea Room in walking distance which is also well worth a visit! We would definitely return in the future.
Absolutely stunning property in such a peaceful area. The hot tub was really appreciated and the lovely patio area. I think if you stayed for a week you would struggle with the small freezer compartment in the fridge, so a fridge freezer would be a welcome addition. The barn has a washerdryer but the drying cycle takes a long time. A 4 slice toaster would be a good addition too and checking the bulbs as quite a few were out. Thank you for the bottle of wine and we would definitely recommend the barn to family and friends
Second stay here Fantastic week away for my husband 60th with our dogs they ... Second stay here Fantastic week away for my husband 60th with our dogs they loved it was really relaxed whereas we normally have a problem with them as they suffer from anxiety but they loved it weather was amazing we look like we have been abroad all home comforts, if we don't end up moving abroad next year we will definitely be back 5 star
Had a great stay at Manor Barn. It's was our 8 year old's birthday and we let her choose. Her priority was a hot tub, and the one at manor barn was huge, so she loved it. The place was fairy high spec, and clean. The owners live right next door and were helpful when we had an issue with the shower. Would definitely go back.
Romayne
We stayed here for three nights over New Year. Great service and communication from the owners. The Barn has great facilities and the hot tub was very nice. Having the gate around the property made this safe and secure for the children and dogs. I would highly recommend a stay here.
We stayed in Manor Barn over Christmas and it was beautiful, lots of space for a family of 5 and the owners were amazing. Fantastic location as the village and local pub amazing food was in walking distance and the owners guided us with the nearest supermarket etc. Thank you for an amazing stay we will be back. Ps the hot tub was a plus point as well with lovely views xx
Lovely chilled week just what we needed. The fencing around the manor barn meant we felt our dogs were very secure and could just roam at their leisure. Hot tub was probably the nicest weve been in very spacious and really clean. The barn was really warm so only used the fire once but was so cosy when lit. Thankyou for a fab stay
The location is lovely. For us using this property especially as it is listed up to 6 people would be that it requires a proper fridge and a proper freezer. The little one that is provided has a lot of space taken up with the door and the little freezer compartment. I would also liked to have seen more than 4 mugs. Apart from this the property is spacious downstairs and has a large kitchen with plenty of seating available for sitting at at meal times. Was nice having a downstairs loo as well. The stairs are a somewhat creaky so a quiet journey to bed is not an option. Upstairs again the rooms are quite spacious. Master bedroom had a nice view over the fields. The ensuite bathroom is small but adequate for the small to medium sized person. This bedroom could have done with a full set of drawers as the dressing table does not have a plug point next to it. The wardrobe is adequate for a short stay but you will have to bend to get into it. The other bedroom is a good size and again has views. This bedroom has a proper wardrobe and chest of drawers. The family bathroom is at the top of the stairs between the two bedrooms. The hot tub is lovely to relax in after a long day out and about. There is plenty of parking and the area designated for this house outside is made quite private by a wall. There is a nice grass area if you have kids for them to play on as well as slab area as patio. There is seating provided for enjoying the sunset or meals outside. There are also a couple of large garden games to be played. The property is clean and tidy but for us just needed a few tweaks.
The property was very well appointed and is set in a lovely location. Ideal for four people. Owner was friendly and helpful. Walking distance from the local pub which served good food.
We had a fantastic stay at Manor Barn, great property, very well laid out and a pub to die for within walking distance, who could ask for more!
Fantastic cottage, great quiet location with fab local pub, walks and friendly locals. The hot tub is lovely and relaxing. Matt and Mark were attentive and checked in regularly to make sure we were ok. Definitely recommend.
The downstairs area of the cottage and outside space were as expected. The kitchen was well equipped albeit the fridge was very small with only an ice box freezer. The living space was ok. Outside was pleasant and we enjoyed using the hot tub. Upstairs the property was very disappointing. It was very small being built into the roof space of the building. The windows had very limited opening capacity just a few cms which meant it was too hot and stuffy for sleeping even when outside it wasnt too warm. The location was good and the local pub within walking distance served nice food.
Just back from a fantastic week at Manor Barn. Highly recommend this place it was beautiful and a great location for us to spend time local to our family and friends in Staffordshire. The cottage itself is fantastic and is very well equipped with everything you would need. Mark the owner is a lovely guy and could not have been more helpful. We will certainly be using Manor Barn for our future Staffordshire stays!
Amazing 4 night stay in this lovely cottage. Hot tub a fabulous bonus. Lovely setting. Cottage has everything you could need. Amazing pub 5 minutes walk away. Would definitely return
A beautiful property, well equipped, great location for a family of five and two dogs. Would highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Manor Barn, short walk to welcoming pub with good food. Mark met us upon arrival and gave us all the information we required... most importantly how to use the fantastic hot tub! Luxurious stay in a beautiful location, would recommend to all.
Gorgeous cottage & very clean & spacious, had everything we needed. The hot tub was pure luxury & all the family enjoyed ourselves & the kids loved the chickens, it was in a perfect location & Mark was really friendly & covered anything we needed. Would recommend Marks cottage to friends & family. Thank you Mark
Everything in Manor Barn has been done to a high standard! Mark and Matt, the owners were extremely helpful and the hot tub was fantastic! We will definitely be returning.
Andrew
Had a fabulous week at Manor Barn. It is spacious, very clean and comfortable. The owners, who live next door, were extremely friendly and helpful. There are numerous walks in beautiful countryside on the doorstep and a wonderful pub by a pond a couple of miles up the road. We had a very relaxing holiday and the hot tub was a real treat. Will definitely return!
Lovely converted barn that exceeded expectations. We have a 3 nights stay which was well needed after being key workers in the NHS and not having a break since April. Beautiful surroundings and the hosts were more then helpful. We were trusted to come and go as we pleased. Not overlooked and very private. Everything you need and very comfortable living spaces. We spent much needed family time together in a fabulous home from home. We would definitely book again and recommend. Thank you x
