The Bothy

The Bothy is an inviting single-storey lodge resting near Leek, Staffordshire, bringing together a lakeside setting, off-road parking, a bubbling hot tub, and a characterful woodburning stove for a memorable family or friends’ escape. Step onto the decking and take in the water just a short stroll away, where the reflections of the sky and trees set the scene for slow mornings with a coffee and relaxed evenings under the open air.

Inside, the open-plan living space is the heart of the lodge, with its wood-clad walls and welcoming ambience. The kitchen area is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and the essentials for easy self-catering, so shared meals become part of the holiday ritual.

Nearby, the dining area invites everyone to gather together, whether you are lingering over breakfast or plotting the next day’s adventures. After days outside, sink into the seating in the sitting area, let the warmth of the woodburning stove fill the room, and enjoy a film on the Smart TV.

When it is time to turn in, The Bothy offers two restful bedrooms, including a double and a triple bunk room that works well for children, friends, or a mixture of both. A sleek bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, basin, and WC means you can choose between a long soak or a refreshing rinse.

Outside, the decked terrace with furniture and hot tub is made for unhurried afternoons, whether you are easing into the warm bubbles or watching the light move across the lake. With a shop and pub within a short drive and the wider Staffordshire countryside waiting to be explored, The Bothy offers a charming base for your next waterside break.
