Welcome to Nightingale Cottages

Home to NIGHTINGALE COTTAGE and FLORENCE COTTAGE.

 

Our victorian cottages were originally built as recuperation cottages for patients leaving Stafford County Hospital. Today they continue that tradition by offering a warm, welcoming place to rest, relax and enjoy everything Stafford and the surrounding areas have to offer.

 

​Both cottages have been lovingly restored by ourselves. Downstairs has a utility room with plenty of storage and to the left is the downstairs toilet. There is a separate dining room to the rear of the property and to the front is the lounge and kitchen all fully equipped. Upstairs has three bedrooms with double beds (sleeps 6) and a bathroom.  

Ideal for working professionals, Contractors, Business visitors and holiday makers alike who are looking for a comfortable relaxing stay near local shops, pubs and restaurants.

As a small family business, we want every guest to enjoy a relaxed and memorable stay with us. Daisy: Our rescue cockapoo inspired us to create a place where dogs are just as welcome as their owners. Two well behaved dogs are welcome.

  • Excellant commuter links     

  • Secure Gardens

  • Free Hi speed Wi-Fi 

  • Private Parking

To ensure you get the best price, we recommend booking direct with us.
