The door swings open to the smell of fresh coffee and that particular warmth only a proper guest house radiates on a cold morning.

This one's for campers who fancy a roof and a proper bed without losing the adventure — the pods let you sleep outdoors with a door that locks, while the guest house rooms are there if the weather turns or you're treating yourself mid-trip. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you're travelling with four legs. It's open all year, which makes it a solid basecamp for winter walkers or anyone chasing the quieter seasons.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so ask when you book what's included and what's shared. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation — they'll let you know what's allowed depending on conditions. The vibe feels flexible and low-fuss, the sort of place run by people who understand that sometimes you want a hot shower and sometimes you just want to sit outside with a flask and watch the light fade.

Staffordshire Way (Rushton Spencer - Cannock Chase)

Traverses 76km across Staffordshire's varied landscape, mixing gentle farmland stretches with moderate climbs through moorland and ancient woodland. The route's length and terrain make it unsuitable for young children or buggies, though experienced families could tackle shorter sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth doing for the contrast between dramatic Peak District fringes at Rushton Spencer and the historic heathland of Cannock Chase, passing charming market towns and quiet c

Meanders through Staffordshire's Churnet Valley following the River Weaver upstream, offering gentle riverside paths with occasional moderate climbs through mixed woodland. Suitable for families with older children who can manage uneven ground, though most sections are too rough for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The changing valley scenery, historic mill sites, and peaceful waterside walking make this a rewarding escape into rural Staffordshire's quieter corners.

Follows the picturesque River Churnet through Staffordshire's wooded valleys and former mill towns, mixing gentle riverside stretches with some moderate climbs around Alton and Oakamoor. The varied terrain suits confident families with older children, though pushchairs will struggle on uneven woodland sections and stiles. Dogs welcome throughout. Worth doing for the dramatic limestone gorge scenery, historic railway heritage, and peaceful countryside that feels surprisingly remote despite being

Peak District Boundary Walk Stage 15

Tackles 12.9km of classic Peak District terrain with steep climbs and rocky descents—definitely not for buggies or small children. Dogs welcome but keep them leashed near livestock, which you'll encounter frequently. Expect dramatic gritstone edges, panoramic moorland views, and potentially boggy sections after rain. Worth it for experienced walkers craving proper Peak District character and solitude away from honeypot trails.
