South Lodge - Longford Hall Farm Holiday Cottages is a stunning two-storey gatehouse dating from 1892. Located in rural Staffordshire, this detached property combines historical character with modern comforts. The beautiful enclosed garden with hot tub offers peaceful relaxation, despite being next to a quiet country road (and yes, a cemetery - but don't let that spook you!).
Set on the edge of a working farm estate, South Lodge provides an excellent base for exploring the Peak District. Take walks directly from your doorstep through the estate's tree-lined roads or venture further to discover the natural beauty of Dovedale and the Manifold Valley.
