Description from owner
Description
The Old Bakehouse is situated in beautiful countryside and yet is only 10 minutes drive from the M6 and nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme. Visitors have access to the 45 acres of garden and grounds of Camp Hill, and for those who love walking the nearby Maer Hills has further extensive woodland paths. Camp Hill is ideally situated for visitors seeking accommodation near to Keele University.
The Old Bakehouse, which is on two floors, has a double bedroom, bathroom, sitting room with open fire and fully fitted kitchen opening out onto a private terrace. With a sofa bed in the sitting room it will sleep up to 4 guests.
If you are feeling stressed or just want to get away from it all, Camp Hill is a fantastic place to unwind, relax and rediscover a sense of peace and wellbeing.
Further details
We were the first to stay at the Old Bake House and had a very enjoyable week, very comfortable and well equipped. The location and grounds are fantastic, ideal for walking, cycling or just relaxing, nice quiet country location, we will definitely be returning.
Further details indoors
The Old Bakehouse combines old-fashioned charm with modern facilities. It is light, spacious and peaceful.
The triple aspect sitting room which seats four people has an open fire. The modern kitchen opens onto a private terrace. We supply all the basics (salt, pepper, cooking oil etc) and just ask that you replace like with like if anything runs out.
The bedroom has a wardrobe and chest of drawers, and the fully fitted bathroom has a bath with shower over, washbasin and toilet.
Further details outdoors
The Old Bakehouse is situated in the grounds of Camp Hill which extend to about 45 acres. The main house was built in 1827 for Sarah Wedgwood, daughter of Josiah Wedgwood who founded the famous pottery company. Charles Darwin, who was Sarah's nephew and married his cousin Emma Wedgwood, was a regular visitor. We offer a tour of the house for those who are interested.
The gardens were originally landscaped by the previous owners between 1938 and 1983 and contain arguably the finest display of rhododendrons in the country. There are many paths and clearings to explore and it is a great place for children.
Although less than 2 miles from the village of Baldwins Gate you could be in the middle of nowhere. Everything you see is a part of Camp Hill and almost the only thing you can hear is the birds. These include woodpeckers, owls, rooks, house martins, tits, wrens and many more. At dusk there is a great display as they settle down to roost.
If you are feeling stressed or just want to get away from it all, Camp Hill is a fantastic place to unwind, relax and rediscover a sense of peace and wellbeing.

“A hideaway adjacent to a historical home in beautiful countryside.”
We thoroughly enjoyed this little two-story apartment in a restored former Bakehouse. The staircase between floors was frightening to a woman in her late 70s who is somewhat unsteady on her feet, but … More
