Northfield Farm

About Northfield Farm

High in the hills of the Staffordshire Moorlands, we are situated on the edge of Flash, highest village in England, yet just a few 100yards off the A53 we are easily accessible.

Needless to say we have superb views of the surrounding countryside and the walking and riding from the farm is excellent.

An ideal base from which to explore the Peaks, Potteries and Plains of Cheshire. There is a total of 18 bed spaces plus bed- settees which makes us a great location for groups of families and friends to meet up for short or long breaks.

Most of the double rooms have 'zip-link' beds that can either be two singles or a super king-size double.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the Apartment or the Ground Floor Old Stables, although they must not be left unaccompanied in the accommodation. A stable is usually available if owners wish to leave their dogs whilst they go out. Visitors should be aware that we do have dogs of our own on the farm.

Prices include bed linen, electricity and heating (all accommodation is centrally heated). Towels are available at a small extra charge.

Facilities include a TV and DVD player, bedrooms are either en-suite or have a separate bathroom, most with a bath and gravity fed shower overhead. Kitchens are equipped with fridge, four ring cookers and microwaves, with dish-washers in the three larger properties, we are all electric.

There is also a laundry room and recreation room with small pool table. Cots and high chairs are available on request. Parking is adjacent to the accommodation.
