The Cornstore - with pool table, play barn & more!
4.8About this space
The space
The heart of the home is the open-plan living and dining area — perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. Sink into the comfortable seating after a day exploring, watch your favourite shows on the TV, or gather around the dining table for an evening meal.
The two bedrooms are designed with comfort in mind, offering a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The first bedroom features a double bed and plentiful clothing storage, and the second bedroom contains a triple bunk bed. The cottage has a bright bathroom with shower.
After a day of exploring, you can unwind on the patio outside the cottages. Please note that the benches are not left out over the winter, and therefore are not pictured.
For a little friendly competition, the indoor entertainment area within the adjacent play barn adds a unique touch —providing fun for all ages, whatever the weather. Challenge your group to a game of pool, table tennis, air hockey, and more! This space is shared with the other two cottages, and contains a play area for small children, as well as books and board games. Between the play barn and the many local attractions Staffordshire has to offer, these cottages are ideal for keeping the whole family entertained!
Guest access
The play barn is shared between the three cottages on site.
If you are traveling in a larger group, you may wish to book multiple cottages (the Hereford, The Cornstore, and The Dairy are all available for bookings).
Please note that Birchenfields is no longer a working farm.
