An ideal location to "get away from it all". Wharf Cottage is set on the banks of the Shropshire Union Canal in peaceful Staffordshire rolling countryside and is in a designated conservation area.

The quiet country lanes are ideal for cycling and there are several good walks, including the Millennium Trial.

For those who want something less strenuous, you can sit on the wharf-side enjoying something from our tea room and watching the boats and wildlife.

The cottage is laid out in an upside down style. Upstairs is an open plan living area with exposed beams, kitchen/dining area, picture window overlooking the canal basin and French doors leading to the balcony over looking fields.

On the ground floor are 3 bedrooms: 1 x double, 1 x twin bedroom and 1 family room with 2 x adult bunks and 2 x single beds. There is a bathroom with bath (shower over) and wash hand basin and a separate WC. The utility room is also on the ground floor.

There is full oil fired central heating with an additional open fire place in the sitting area. The kitchen and utility room is fully equipped with electric cooker, microwave, fridge, washing machine and tumble drier. Colour T.V's are in every room and there is a video, DVD and CD player.
