Charming converted barn nr Alton Towers & Foxtails

Nestled in the picturesque setting of Ipstones Edge, Clockwork Studio is a beautiful barn conversion situated on a 60-acre working farm. The Staffordshire Moorlands location feels blissfully remote. However, it’s less than 10 minutes from Alton Towers, making it ideal for a family break away. Less than 20 mins from Foxtail Barns Wedding Venue. This is a popular location for walking, cycling, hiking, and climbing in the Peak District. Please note: This is for a maximum of two adults only. The space **A Countryside Gem, Ready to Welcome You** Our one-bedroom studio barn is now complete after a true labour of love, with plenty of dust, hard work and laughter along the way. My husband, Stephen, has more than 40 years of experience in the building trade and has poured an enormous amount of care into the conversion. Family and friends have all played their part too, including our granddaughter Orla, who was seven at the time and took her sweeping duties very seriously. The barn has been finished to a high standard and designed to be a comfortable, peaceful retreat for two people. Inside, you will find: * A bright and airy open-plan living space * A fully equipped kitchen, including an oven for proper cooking * A modern bathroom with a generous walk-in shower * A comfortable bedroom area * A spacious private patio The patio is a lovely place to enjoy your morning coffee, spend a quiet afternoon with a book or simply take in the peace of the surrounding Staffordshire Moorlands countryside. This is more than just somewhere to stay. It is a little home that has been created with a great deal of love, care and attention. Whether you are looking for a quiet countryside escape, a comfortable base for walking and exploring the local area, or simply somewhere cosy to relax, Clockwork Studio is ready to welcome you. We would love for you to become part of the next chapter in its story. **PLEASE NOTE** The studio can accommodate a strict maximum of two people in total. This includes adults, children and babies, and unfortunately the limit cannot be exceeded at any time. One parking space is included with your booking. Additional parking may sometimes be available, but this must be agreed with us in advance. Extra vehicles are charged at £10 per vehicle, per night. Guest access Clockwork Studio is situated on Ipstones Edge. It's down a private 'rustic' farm drive, roughly 400m from the main road. There is space for one car. If you require more than one parking space, please let us know in advance, and we'll see if we can accommodate. Extra cars will be charged at £10 per vehicle, per night. Other things to note Clockwork Studio is for people keen to enjoy a tranquil break. If you’re looking for a hen weekend venue or accommodation for a wild party, this isn’t the place to book. Parties and events are not allowed. We live on the property and want to host groups seeking peace and relaxation. We mentioned above that this is a working farm, but don’t worry; you won’t be disturbed by tractors growling through the night or milking kicking off at 4 am. However, there are cows here. We breed Dexters and have around 50. They’re kept in a shed on the other side of the farm in the winter months and are out in the fields during the summer. So do expect to hear some mooing. This brings us to our next point. Because of the cattle, we cannot allow pets. Please accept our apologies; no dogs or cats are permitted, humans only. We do have Wi-Fi. This is via a hotspot connection through 5G. It is not a traditional wired connection, so you may need to reconnect occasionally. So, if your stay is dependent on an excellent and solid Wi-Fi connection, Clockwork Studio may not be for you. Please note: we can accommodate a maximum of two people in this studio. If there's more than two of you, this place isn't ideal for you. One parking space is included. Additional parking can sometimes be accommodated, but must be agreed in advance. Extra vehicles are charged at £10 per vehicle, per night.
