Rainy days? Even better from the hot tub.

There’s something rather lovely about slipping into a warm, bubbling hot tub while the rain falls around you.

And at Blacksmith Cottage, our hot tubs are covered, meaning you can enjoy a little outdoor relaxation whatever the weather decides to do.

So whether it’s a crisp autumn evening, a drizzly afternoon or one of those very British days where the rain just refuses to stop… the hot tub is still calling.

Cosy cottage. Warm bubbles. A little rain. Sounds like the perfect escape to us.

And there's even more to enjoy throughout the week, including live music every Friday from 7pm and their traditional Sunday roast...perfectly roasted meat, crispy spuds, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables and rich, glossy gravy. 🤤

How is it nearly September tomorrow already?!

The school holidays are flying by, the school bags are about to come back out… and suddenly we're looking ahead to autumn.

But don't worry, there are still plenty of lovely things to look forward to.

If you're already thinking about October half term, a cosy autumn break in the Staffordshire countryside could be just the ticket.

And if you're one of those wonderfully organised people who is already thinking about Christmas, we're looking ahead to that too!

October half term is currently available at the cottage, so why not have a little look and get your next escape in the diary?

Because sometimes, when summer comes to an end, having something lovely to look forward to makes all the difference.

October, autumn or Christmas… which one are you dreaming about? 👇

Do you enjoy cooking while you're on holiday, or would you rather head to the local pub, or perhaps let someone else do the cooking and hire a private chef?

Whatever your answer, this kitchen has you covered…

At the heart of the cottage, this beautiful sage-green kitchen flows effortlessly from the kitchen itself, through to the breakfast bar, orangery and cosy snug, with the log burner sitting centrally between them all.

And then there’s the garden, right there beyond the windows, making the whole space feel wonderfully connected to the outdoors.

Whether you fancy cooking up a big family breakfast, settling in for a lazy lunch, enjoying a coffee at the breakfast bar or gathering around the fire in the evening, it’s a space made for spending time together.

And the kitchen is beautifully equipped too, with everything you could need for a comfortable stay, including a double oven, air fryer, coffee machine, drinks fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

Fancy making the most of the kitchen without doing the cooking? You could even arrange for a private chef to come and create something special during your stay.

Or, if cooking on holiday is absolutely not your thing… we won't judge. The lovely pub next door is right on hand, or head to Deer Park Farm nearby for breakfast or lunch.

However you choose to use it, this is a kitchen that really is at the centre of the cottage, and we think it's rather gorgeous.

With the football season now underway, it reminded us to tell you just how close Blacksmith Cottage is to St George’s Park… ⚽️

Whether you’re travelling for work, bringing the family along for a few days, or visiting with colleagues, Blacksmith Cottage makes a comfortable base for your stay.

Your family can enjoy the cottage and explore the surrounding countryside while you attend your event, or gather your colleagues together in one place and have somewhere relaxing to return to at the end of the day.

Close to where you need to be, but a world away from the usual hotel stay.

A cosy countryside retreat, with plenty of space to relax, unwind and make yourself at home.

There’s more to Hoar Cross than meets the eye… 🌿

Tucked away in the beautiful Staffordshire countryside, Hoar Cross is a little village with a fascinating history stretching back hundreds of years.

The village was first recorded around 1230 as Horcros, thought to refer to a grey or stone cross marking the local boundaries. It was once part of the ancient Needwood Forest, and although much of the forest has disappeared over time, that peaceful, wooded character still remains today. 🌳

Then there’s the magnificent Hoar Cross Hall, which has been part of the village’s story since the 19th century. The Hall we see today was built in the 1860s in the Jacobean style, complete with turrets, gables, mullioned windows and impressive chimneys.

The Hall was closely connected to the Meynell Ingram family, a name you might recognise if you’ve visited the village, as our local pub is also named The Meynell Ingram Arms. 🍻

Just a short walk away is the beautiful Church of the Holy Angels, built in the 1870s in memory of Hugo Francis Meynell Ingram by his widow, Emily Charlotte Meynell Ingram. The church is filled with beautiful stained glass and intricate stonework, and was once praised by poet John Betjeman for its “very English” architecture. ⛪

And today, this little corner of Staffordshire continues to be a place to slow down, explore and enjoy the countryside.

We think that’s rather special, staying somewhere with a story to tell. 🤍

Next time you’re in Hoar Cross, take a little wander and see how many pieces of its history you can spot.

There’s something rather lovely about an autumn escape… 🍂

Cooler evenings, countryside walks, long lunches, and coming back to somewhere warm and comfortable at the end of the day.

Whether you're planning a cosy weekend away, a family get-together or a winter break with friends, Blacksmith Cottage makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the season.
