Checkin was super easy and welcomed by a pleasant staff member.

Large rooms, comfy bed and everything that is needed.

The bedroom at bathroom was exceptionally clean, cleaners work very hard.
The bathrooms are slightly dated in terms of decor, but doesn't affect the stay, bathroom has everything one would expect.

Dining area is pleasant and a wide selection of meals available, including specials and to say the food is fantastic would be an understatement.
Excellent home cooked food and great attentive staff.

Overall a great stay

We booked a room with a garden view which I would recommend to book. During this heatwave the room was a comfortable temperature.
The room was a comfortable size for two with a seating area.
Breakfast was not buffet (hooray!) Everything was cooked fresh.
I would recommend trying the meals in the restaurant but don’t opt for the large roast. That’s definitely a meal for two, as is the mixed grill.
The staff were friendly and professional.
If I was going to be negative, I say they need more than three disabled parking spaces.
The location was convenient to visiting local attractions.
It should be noted that the road that passes the front of the hotel is busy with associated noise.

Check in was no frills. We arrived half an hour before check in and was offered a room but for an extra fee.

I accidentally booked the room for one person so had to pay an extra £12 for breakfast which was fair enough but on check out an additional £10 for the extra person which I thought was unfair.

I've stayed here before and as I was in the area I decided to revisit. I wasn't disappointed. The staff were great, the food is sublime. It's a family run hotel that could teach the big brands how to actually do customer care. The rooms are serviced daily, unlike most places since covid. The rooms are good and the bed was oh so comfortable. The updated bathrooms are great. I'll be back, I can't wait to return

We left a bit disappointed. After reading the reviews we were quite hopeful but the room furniture was dated and in need of renewal. The room was adequate size but not large and the shower room floor was like a trampoline.... very bouncy!

Our meal at night was poor. We both had roast but the meat was extremely poor, something like a ready meal, and I couldn't eat my meal. The whole dinner packed any
flavour. A shame but the staff immediately offered a refund so was happy with how they dealt with it. Breakfast was a vast improvement!

We would stay again which in reality answers my question on how was the hotel.
We did have breakfast, which was served to us. Choosing a croissant with jam and marmalade did take its time to arrive, however the lady serving us did keep us informed. The fruit platter was beautifully presented.
We did have dinner in the bar which was excellent and just the right amount.

The bedroom across the courtyard was adequate with all the appropriate trimmings - tea, coffee, biscuits , shower etc.
The only thing was the TV remote did not work. We did ask at reception for new batteries but was told it was the remote and that they did not have a new one to give us.
During the night the side lights decided to blow up, which caused a smell and us to unplug everything.
It did not bother us as we were tired we did inform reception.

Saying all that everything was clean and every one polite, with excellent food..

Average facility. We ordered Prosecco which had been put into our room well before we arrived so the ice had melted and the bottle was warm. The biscuits were stale. Outdoor lights were left on all night, and as the curtain didn’t fit well, we slept badly. The pillows were hard and too high.

These would all be easy things to get right but they stopped us enjoying our night there

Lovely hotel in a rural location, just ideal to meet up with a lady offering personal services and she found the hotel easy aswell with staff on reception kind enough to ignore the fact that she was offering special services to clients and showing her to the room. Skipped breakfast as I was tired following the night before but rooms were nice and parking was easy.

Great place to stay. Staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are spacious and have everything you need. Food is pretty good too. Hotel is in a nice countryside location, easy to find with plenty parking. Overall it's hard to fault.

Heating

Lovely hotel and good food, our only complaint was that the heating in the room was not on when we arrived and we were told that it would not be switched on until 4.30 pm! Given that check in time is 3pm surely the heating should be on by then!!

Always an enjoyable stay

There's very little not to like about this place. It's easy to find, plenty parking, decent bar, decent food, clean, fairly comfortable (even for a large unit such as myself!) spacious rooms, decent shower, all the usual equipment although no USB sockets or 240V outlet in bathroom. Of particular note - Great staff and Custard Creams in the rooms! I'll very happily stay again.

Like home from home and the good old days

What an excellent place i will be returning and staying in these quaint but rustic and beautiful hotel.
The rooms were bigger than an average size, the bar and restaurant was wonderful sitting next to a slow burning fire just like the good old days as a child. Food was exceptional the staff were second to none and couldn’t do enouh for you.
Breakfasts were plentyful and hot.

Great atmosphere.

Really lovely hotel. Our rooms were huge and smelt really nice. The lady on reception when we arrived was warm and welcoming and the young woman who served us breakfast was delightful. Nothing was too much trouble for either of them. We will definitely stay there again.

Alton Towers Weekender

Excellent service. Nothing was too kuch trouble for the team. The breakfast was plentiful and the choice of beverages at the bar, vast. Within a 25min drive of Alton Towers, so it was ideal for our visit. Would book again with a second thought if in the area.

nice hotel used for an Alton towers trip,

Rooms could do with a bit of a glow up but they were big and comfortable, good bar/restaurant with excellent options, all the staff we encountered were all lovely.

Would recommend and stay again!

The floorboards in our room were very creaky, our son was on a put up bed and every time he moved the floorboards creaked. So therefore we didn’t sleep very well.
