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
