Dalraddy Cottage consists of a spacious two-bedroomed bungalow built within the grounds of the owner's house "Pottal Pool House" on Cannock Chase, Staffordshire. It has solid oak floors throughout except for the bathroom, kitchen and wc where good quality ceramic tiles have been used.

Dalraddy Cottage is a warm welcoming bungalow with comfortable quality furniture. The oil fired central heating and a high level of insulation throughout, ensure that it is comfortable all year round, whatever the weather.

Dalraddy Cottage has been built using only the finest materials. We have tried to include natural environmentally friendly materials wherever possible - but don't take our word for it - see for yourself:

	Hall - a warm welcome to the cottage. Solid oak flooring, cream walls and original pleasing artwork - some of which our guests have kindly donated. There is also a boot tray here for walkers and a boot scraper outside the front door. The large cupboard off the hall has a radiator in for help in drying wet coats. A solid oak handcrafted side table holds a comforting lamp, our visitors book and emergency contact details. The antlers were from the original dalraddy cottage in Scotland (not a coat hanger!)
	The fully fitted oak kitchen has a fridge/freezer, electric oven & hob, extractor hood, AAA rated washing machine, AAA rated dishwasher, microwave plus all the usual refinements associated with a cottage of this quality. There is also a pine dining table with seating for four and a view towards the paddock at the rear of the cottage. The kitchen has a stainless steel 1.5 sink, tiled floor and tiled splashbacks to the units. There are many luxurious additions, such as Viners cutlery, two sets of stainless steel saucepans, garlic press, mortar and pestle, electronic kitchen scales and cookery books to name a few.
	The full length lounge has large french doors leading to the patio area. The luxurious leather suite consists of a 3 seater chesterfield, tub chair, wing chair and stool. A new flat screen tv and video and digital freeview provide entertainment and there are two large bookcases with hi-fi and books, games and magazines. An electric log basket fire provides a focal point and extra heating if required. Lighting consists of central 3 light chandelier, picture light, matching table and floor lamps. There is also a solid oak handcrafted nest of tables.
	Double Bedroom - solid oak floor, solid pine furniture cosy rugs and dressing table area (not seen). Plenty of storage - 2 three drawer side tables, large 3 drawer chest with pine mirror and wardrobe with two drawers at the bottom. A hairdryer is also provided.

	Twin bedroom at the rear of the self-catering cottage . The twin beds have double sized quilts on and a bedside cabinet with lamp each. Original art adorns the walls much of it from previous guests. A wardrobe and chest of drawers with mirror over completes the room. There is also a futon which may be used as an occasional bed for children and a travel cot can be provided on request.
	The larger than average bathroom contains a new white bathroom suite with shower over the bath. There is a large heated towel rail, tiled floor and fully tiled walls. A mirror with shaving point and shelf is situated over the basin. A stainless steel and glass storage unit is situated at the end of the bath. An automatic extractor fan ensures that the room remains fresh and free from condensation.
	There is also a second toilet situated at the front of the cottage with extractor fan, wash basin and mirror over - useful if you like your own space in the mornings!
