Abbots Bromley 3.2 miles. The Lazy Mare by The Water is a delightful shepherd's hut, surrounded by rolling countryside and resting just alongside the Blithfield Reservoir in Admaston, Staffordshire. Offering a solid fuel-fired hot tub and a compact yet romantic dwelling, this charming shepherd's hut is perfect for a couples break in the glorious greenery of Staffordshire's countryside. Arriving at the hut, an off-road parking space greets you; park up and climb the steps onto the decking to make your way into the space. An open-plan layout benefits from a dining table with benches where you can enjoy your breakfast and plan your day of adventures, before swapping it into a plush double bed for the evening. Whip up a quick meal with the kitchen facilities, including a mini fridge, an electric one-ring hob, a microwave, and an all-important kettle for your morning cuppa, before snuggling up in bed and getting some rest. Guests will also benefit from a shower room, fit with a walk-in shower, a basin and a WC, where you can freshen up and prepare for the day. Making your way outside, the decking provides a wonderful space for savouring a glass of wine in the warmer months while gazing over the nearby reservoir and open fields, while the charcoal barbecue offers more cooking facilities for a spot of alfresco dining. Take the steps back down from the decking and treat yourself to a dip in the hot tub to soak your muscles after an adventurous day. Private access across the open fields and along the reservoir make this property a haven for avid walkers and explorers alike. Fishing and sailing can be enjoyed in the reservoir, with plenty more activities to be found just a short drive away. Gospel Place is within easy reach of the hut, here you can wander through the moorlands and varying terrains on foot or by bicycle.

Reviews

One of the most idyllic places we have been to. It was so peaceful. The hot tub was amazing and made good use of it. The Shepherds hut was beautiful and surprisingly warm too, and a good base to explore the area. Thank you for our stay and we will definitely be coming back. Great value for money.

We enjoyed everything about the lazy mare, first of all the communication between ourselves and the hosts was very easy via text (we even got a text the night before telling us we can arrive early!!!). On our way there we had a text explaining that they would not be there to meet us but the key was in the door, when we arrived the key was there along with the hot tube ready, a bottle of prosecco and some milk. The location is fantastic, very quiet and peaceful, in fact we only saw two people during the whole weekend and when night falls its even better for views. The accommodation was very clean and you can tell that a lot of thought has gone into it as it appeared to us like everything was available including an endless supply of wood for the hot tub. The fridge was bigger than what we expected which was good, there is a microwave, toaster, kettle and hob ring all available and all amazingly fits into a lovely looking unit under the sink. The water was very hot and we didn't have to wait for it to run hot, the bed was made up when we got there and towels already hung up waiting for us. There wasn't anything not to like apart from the fact that we had to leave it and come home!!!
