Spotlessly clean with excellent facilities.

Breakfast was wonderful, the homemade pancakes and smoked salmon-on-muffins, to die for!

It sounds strange, but the fish pond is a real treat-we... read more spent ages just staring at it. Those fish are certainly living their best lives.

Owner Peter is a character with a certain sense of dry/spiky/authoritarian wit-be prepared for this, and you will get on with him just fine. More

  We had a lovely stay here. So close to Alton towers it was very ideal! Peter was so friendly and made such an effort to talk to you. The room... read more was lovely and the gardens are stunning. So lovely to sit out in on an evening or in the morning. Felt very at home and the town is gorgeous, so quaint. Breakfast was lovely too, big selection on the buffet and the cooked breakfast was very tasty. Looking forward to staying again in the future. Thank you!

  7 of us stayed here for one night when we had weekend tickets for Alton Towers. It’s a 10 minute drive through beautiful countryside to the resort.
Our... read more 2 rooms were bright and clean. Pillows and bedding were comfy.
There is a well tended garden and breakfast can be eaten outside if weather is good.
The owner was friendly and accommodating.
There is a weatherspoons a few mins walk away which was perfect for feeding ravenous teenagers affordably.
All in all a very good value option and if we return to Alton Towers we would stay here again.

  We stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it. The room was clean and comfortable and the grounds of the hotel are very nice.

The breakfast was also... read more good and well organised and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

I would recommend this property to anybody.

  We stayed last weekend with our friends as we were visiting Alton Towers. The room was nice enough, clean, spacious and comfy bed - although it could do with a... read more refurb as could other places like the hall and stairway in the garden building. Breakfast was good, very friendly staff. Our main issue was with the host, who was quite patronising and unfriendly with us when we first arrived. He explained that we had to park our car in the other car park which was totally fine, and then he proceeded to give us written instructions on how to get there. When I asked how far it was, he didn’t respond but instead instructed me to read the instructions. As it were, the car park was literally at the back of the guest house which would have taken two seconds to explain to us with the added detail of the one way system we had to follow to get there. He then didn’t fully explain how to get to the garden building for which he could have let me walk through the building to reach while my partner was parking the car. Just left a bad impression from the start, and wasn’t really necessary. More

  Absolutely loved everything about this place. Peter was an amazing host and so patient with the children. Everything was spotless, really well organised - especially in terms of Covid... read more measures, friendly atmosphere, comfortable rooms, beautiful gardens and amazing breakfast in the morning. I can 100% see why couples want to get married here! If I’m ever in the area again would stay in a heartbeat. Kids loved it too, didn’t want to leave and spent ages watching the fish!

  We stayed for 2 nights & would recommend to anyone going to Alton Towers. Our family of 5 had 2 rooms which were fine for us. Breakfast is ordered a... read more few days in advance and is very nice. Peter is a friendly chap who was very helpful.

  Had a couple of nights here whilst we visited Alton towers,
Peter made us feel very at home and we very much enjoyed the breakfast. The rooms were clean and... read more comfortable and the garden was spectacular!
All in all, would highly recommend,
Rob and Amber

  I double checked the other reviews to see if it was the right hotel and it was maybe these people had a diffeerent experience to us. We arrived a bit... read more later then planned to the owner who was not happy about us arriving later as it interrupted his TV time.
It got worse, we got punished with the room it was like a house of horrors.
Dripping water from the ceiling and dated rooms, it was like being at Butlins again.
Breakfast was ok but only on the owners terms you had to be down for a certain time. Never again chain hotel next time. More
