Set on the Staffordshire Moorlands and Derbyshire border, Longnor is a quaint village with a historic cobbled market square at the heart of it. It’s home to a traditional village pub, local shop, post office, 2 cafe’s and fish and chip shop, all of which are just a few minutes walk from the cottage.

Beautiful, well equipped cottage in a scenic, quiet village.
Beautiful, well equipped cottage in a scenic, quiet village. The cottage has everything you could need and more. Back garden is small and a limited space but the house was a comfy, cool retreat after a busy day walking and exploring in the summer heat. I’d recommend it to friends and happily revisit.
