A lovely stay, very close to Alton Towers

A lovely stay, very close to Alton Towers. The staff were lovely & the continental breakfast varied & suited us well. The rooms are separate "chalets" with allocated parking spaces next to each front door. We were concerned that staying in a pub may be noisy, but had a very peaceful night's sleep! The beds were very comfy & the family room spacious enough for 2 adults & 2 teenage kids (as long as they are happy in bunk beds!) The rooms are very dated & could do with a freshen up. They could also do with a really thorough clean, the corners etc. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay.

Ideal location if visiting Alton towers, owner’s really lovely and welcoming. Breakfast isn’t as good as it used to be and the young blonde girl serving was really rude (she may just not be a morning person)

Ellen

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Location is very good and the staff are all really friendly. The hotel rooms are very dated though with the bottom of our door frame falling off on arrival, pillows that were extremely flat, a storage heater for hot water that didn’t provide enough hot water for one quick shower and a bath, and just generally furniture and fittings that looked tired and dated. The amenities like tea and coffee were provided in the room but it did feel like the bare minimum. The wifi was also basically non functioning, which made spending any time in the room difficult. It is fine if you want to use the room to sleep in between Alton towers visits, but otherwise it isn’t a great hotel room environment.
