UK’s First Naturist B&B Opens In Staffordshire

A couple’s naked ambition has inspired them to open what is thought to be the country’s first naturist bed and breakfast.
Domain Farm has been opened up as a naturist retreat by Mike Howard and Margaret Pate.
They bought the former dairy farm two years ago and lived in a caravan for 10 months while they renovated the farmhouse.
The couple then decided to open a bed and breakfast to supplement their income but wanted to offer an experience with a twist.

Naturist visitors to the Staffordshire Farm at Cellarhead can stay in a new self-contained log cabin with an en-suite shower room, use of a hot tub and continental breakfast for £50 a night.

The bed and breakfast will also cater for non-naturists.
Mike and 46-year-old Margaret, who have a 14-month-old daughter Helen, launched the new business in July and have so far had half a dozen visitors.
Mike, 49, said: ‘We’ve been naturists on and off for a long time and we liked the idea of opening a B&B.
‘That’s when we came up with the idea of a naturist retreat. But we don’t want to exclude people who aren’t naturists.
‘Visitors can stay for as long as they like and we also do day passes for people who just want to come for the day and relax in the hot tub or sunbathe in the garden.
‘The aim is to build a couple more chalets but we don’t want to get too big.’

Mike, who runs his own industrial computer system business, has recently completed a course in Swedish massage and can now offer holistic therapy to customers.
Margaret, who works as a programme office controller, said: ‘Business is starting to pick up as more people are beginning to discover us.
‘We’ve got a couple coming who aren’t naturists and just want a quiet, relaxing break.

‘We’ve made it clear that clothing is optional. It’s going well and we’ve had some very positive feedback.’

Graeme Whitehead, tourism and marketing team leader at Destination Staffordshire, said: ‘I’m not too certain there is a widespread call for this type of thing in Staffordshire but good luck to them anyway!
‘Anything that helps to keep [people] holidaying at home in whatever respect is to be welcomed.’
