The Achorage

The Anchorage is a one-bedroom converted barn in the Staffordshire Moorlands, with a mezzanine sleeping space that overlooks the open-plan living area below. The room has a double bed, sofa and en-suite shower room. Downstairs, an exposed stone wall and vaulted ceiling frame the kitchen and lounge, where a log burner provides warmth on cooler evenings. The property sits in a rural setting beside a river, surrounded by moorland that forms part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Electricity, bed linen and towels are included. The nearest pub is within a mile. The location suits couples looking for countryside quiet and access to walking, mountain biking and climbing in the Peak District; the spa town of Buxton and the village of Flash are both nearby for supplies and local attractions. The rural road can become difficult to navigate in extreme winter weather, so arriving before dark and checking forecasts ahead of time is advisable. Smoking is not permitted.
