Greenacres | The Palour
Welcome to Greenacres
Quality self-catering holiday cottage and luxury glamping in East Staffordshire, on the edge of the Peak District.
Come and stay at Greenacres in our newly refurbished two bedroom holiday cottage (The Barn) or choose one of our luxury glamping options. We have The Parlour, our Blackdown Shepherd Hut, and Rosebud, our curved, chic and unique Barefoot Caravan. All three are located here at Greenacres; on the edge of the Peak District set in the middle of 11 acres of organic pasture on the edge of the small country village of Denstone, East Staffordshire.
Alton Towers is only 10 minutes from here by car and we’re close to Ashbourne and Leek, which both sit on the southern edge of the Peak District. It’s a short walk to Denstone village and a cosy pub which serves good food.
Greenacres is ideal for walkers, cyclists, nature-lovers, and a lovely place to just relax. Or, for the thrill seeking, Alton Towers is only a few minutes away. Come and stay with us, we would love to welcome you here!
The Parlour Shepherd Hut
A Blackdown luxury shepherd hut with kitchen, log burner and en-suite bathroom.
The Parlour at Greenacres is a lovely, completely self-contained luxury Shepherd Hut, built by Blackdown Shepherd Huts. Located on the edge of the Peak District in the Staffordshire Moorlands, it comes with a fully-fitted kitchen, en-suite shower and toilet, and a full-sized double bed and dining area. There’s a radio too (but there’s no TV or WiFi) You won’t miss them with so much beautiful countryside around you to explore.
It’s a chance to get off-grid and leave your hectic life behind for a few days. Watch the sun setting or the cows go up for evening milking. Cook dinner on your Indian kadai firebowl and keep warm sitting around it as the evening cools. Listen to the dawn chorus in the morning while you wake up after a good night’s sleep, then enjoy your coffee and a proper Staffordshire breakfast on your terrace.
The Parlour Features:
- Double bed
- Ensuite with shower
- Fully-fitted hand-built oak kitchen with fridge and induction hob
- Outdoor patio area with kadai barbeque and seating
- Wool insulation to keep you toasty warm
- oak floors throughout
- Dining area
- Storage space
- Log burning stove (all the logs you need)
A Romantic Escape
Surrounding the Parlour is an orchard of fruit trees, and your front doors open to a spectacular view of open fields, trees and The Weaver Hills in the distance.
A short walk away are miles of trails and tracks through the Churnet Valley. Head towards Dimmingsdale to enjoy an enchanting area of woodland, streams and the lovely Ramblers Retreat Cafe.
