  • Private off-grid site backing onto a 153-acre Woodland Trust area
  • A five-minute drive to Burntwood and under 10 to Lichfield
  • Barbecue area and plenty of green space on site
Balance relaxing amid greenery with wandering among woodland at Cosy Nook at The Old Beerhouse, a peaceful and private adults-only site in a pretty hamlet that backs onto the 153-acre protected Woodland Trust area of Pipe Hall Farm. There are walking trails aplenty at Pipe Hall, around tree plantations, swathes of young and ancient woodland and wildflower meadows, most with lush views of Lichfield Cathedral. Look out for finches and flycatchers among the trees, rabbits in the woodland and butterflies and bats flitting around the meadows from dawn to dusk. This two-acre Staffordshire site has plenty more wildlife-rich areas to wander around too, as it’s 10 minutes’ drive south west of Chasewater Country Park’s reservoir (and tourist railway). The edges of the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – where you can take on treetop adventure trails or zoom on Segways along forested paths during a tour – are the same distance north. As well as being well placed for adventures and ambles (you can even take llamas for walks at the national forest 25 minutes away), the site’s sandwiched between the town of Burntwood and the cathedral city of Lichfield, five and 10 minutes from the site. Chemical disposal, recycling facilities and ice pack freezing are all available on site, along with a toilet block for guests' use.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: We were greeted by Richard, who knew that we’d like a quiet pitch. We could pick a pitch wherever we wanted and the site is peaceful and quiet. Richard was extremely friendly. We cooked our own food, although there are pubs within walking distance. We would love to come back. Thanks Richard!

Disliked: Nothing

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: We stayed here for one night last Friday and absolutely loved it! Before we arrived Richard (who was so lovely) messaged us the “what 3 words” location, to ensure we could find the campsite with ease. On arrival Richard explained that we could buy wood for a fire if needed and showed us around. We really enjoyed how relaxed and quiet the campsite was, but also the fact there was a hut with a games room (darts, pool and a tv) along with the use of a fridge and kettle with complementary tea and coffee. For dog owners, there is a gate connected to the campsite that opens into a forest. Would 100% be going back. Really loved the personal touches and the fact that you can really tell Richard takes pride in his campsite. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay!

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Even before departing Richard the owner text me the what 3 words address. I arrived to an incredibly cheery, welcoming and informative Richard. He showed me all the communal facilities (tea and coffee, kettle, mugs and milk) which included a pool table! He pointed me to the quietest spot on his very well kept site. It has a large woodland through a small gate at the end of the site, definitely check that out. Overall just a 10/10 experience.

Local attractions

Pencil in an afternoon at least for Lichfield, to roam around the towering triple-spire cathedral dating back to the 12th century, survey the displays at writer Samuel Johnson’s museum and birthplace, or have a gander at Erasmus Darwin’s Grade I-listed Georgian house and close. If more historical expeditions are on the agenda, the ruins of the Wall Roman Site are under 10 minutes’ drive away. Sights of a more recent nature include the National Trust’s Shugborough Estate (half an hour) – a grand Georgian manor with a bright white exterior – and The National Memorial Arboretum, the UK’s year-round national site of remembrance (20 minutes away). Just outside Lichfield (10 minutes’ drive) is Stowe Pool reservoir for picnics beside the banks. Another place prime for post-hike alfresco meals with a view in the area is the Castle Ring Iron Age hill fort high up on a hilltop (also 10 minutes away). Up for a bit of thrillseeking instead? The rides of Drayton Manor Theme Park are a 20-minute drive away, while the Curborough Sprint Course – where you can speed sprint in a timed car race – is accessible within 15 minutes.
