The space
Leek Camping Barns are ideally situated to be your base to explore the local area around the lovely traditional market town of Leek, in the Staffordshire Moorlands. It is within easy walking distance (1 mile) of the town, but in the great British countryside that opens onto beautiful views across open countryside to Bradnop and Morridge where you can enjoy your camping experience in more comfort than a tent.
There are two barns offering budget accommodation to campers who want to be free of lugging their tents around and have added protection from the great British weather that can spoil what should be an enjoyable experience.
The barns are part of Padwick Farm which was built in 1848 of lovely mottled pink sandstone. The traditional cowsheds use to house milking jersey cows until recently. The barns are kept in their traditional black and white style. The character has been retained as much as possible and materials recycled to be environmentally friendly. The dairy is now a shower room and has been extended using wood from the old hen cote to accommodate a communal area.
Bottom barn £70 pn (sleeps up to 8) and Top barn £60 (sleeps up to7).
Warm sleeping bags and air beds are required. There are basic cooking facilities in each barn and a covered communal area with wood burning stove. There is also the opportunity to have a traditional camp fire in a ring of stones.
Essential items: sleeping bag, towel, personal requirements, £1 & £2 coins for electric and shower
Desirable; pillow, camping mat/airbed, crockery
Optional: logs/coal for camp fire/stove
Please keep noise to a minimum to keep neighbours and other campers happy and be particularly quiet early in the morning and late at night.

Lives in Leek, United Kingdom
I like to think I'm easy going. I like to treat people as I would like to be treated. I like the changing season, and taking an interest in whats happening. I couldn't live without: tea, cake, sense of humor, fate/karma - what you put around comes around, a good film. Favorite other counties/place are France and Italy & New York. Airbnb allows you to meet and find out about people you would never have met otherwise. I like to leave my guests enjoy there stay but I'm on hand if needed.
To help protect your payment, always use Airbnb to send money and communicate with hosts.
