Make Horseshoe Cottage your base for exploring both the Staffordshire countryside and the southern reaches of the Peak District. Set in rural Draycott in the Moors, the cottage is particularly well placed for families, with Alton Towers Resort around 20 minutes away and the Peak District National Park within around a 30-minute drive.

For a big day out, head to Alton Towers for its rides and attractions, or travel towards Trentham Gardens for gardens, shopping and outdoor adventures. If you'd rather spend the day in the countryside, explore the Staffordshire Peak District, where destinations including Ilam, Dovedale and the Manifold Valley offer beautiful villages, limestone scenery and plenty of walking.

You can also discover the area's market towns, with Leek and Ashbourne both making worthwhile days out, or simply stay closer to Draycott in the Moors and explore the local footpaths directly from the cottage. This location gives you plenty of choice between family attractions, Staffordshire heritage and days spent outdoors.
