Rent a cottage with self-catering accommodation

Holiday cottages off the beaten track can be rented in rural wilderness for wonderful self-catering walking holidays, but if its adventure you are after - Staffordshire has it too, Alton Towers – Theme Park, Arial Extreme, rock climbing on The Roaches and Go Ape, not high enough - then learn to fly at a trial lesson or aerobatics experience at Tatenhill Aviation. Fantastic as a big birthday gift experience. Churnet valley classic railway and Cheddleton Steam Railway are fabulous for all ages. Regardless of the weather if you want to swim but didn't rent a cottage with a swimming pool - head out to the UK's No.1 Indoor Tropical Aqua Park at Water world!
