Lovely place to stay, great food , clean and really helpful staff.
Only moan I have is my room had a very low ceiling and with the hot weather was boiling. I was on the top floor and the window only opened slightly. The air conditioning until for the pub was across from my room and was really noisy. Room didn’t get cleaned and I was there three nights. I would definitely go back but ask for a room on the front not on the top floor. Church nearby was beautiful and nice shops and cafes.

The Littleton Arms are in a convenient and easily accessible location.
Rooms were comfortable and clean having recently been decorated to a high standard. Beds also comfortable and good pressure on shower even though on top floor.
Breakfast was excellent having the full English while there were lots of good alternatives to choose from too.

The BAD bit
========
Thursday night was Steak night and we booked a table for 18:00. Having been shown to our table it was 30 minutes before anyone came to take our order for any food or drink. The food did then arrive pretty quickly. Having finished the main course we waited a further 30 minutes for someone to collect our plates and offer desert after which we gave up deciding to do without a pudding and pay up.

The welcome was good with friendly staff. The room was clean and tidy. The only downsides, if I’m being picky, are that the bed was really soft and there are no blackout curtains. Not the end of the world, but I woke very early on a sunny morning.

Dog friendly, helpful staff great for an overnight break on a long journey ( both ways!) Easy access from the M6 making a break from motorway driving.
Penkridge is a really interesting place to stay and take a break on a long journey. Very welcoming villager and quiet away from the main road.
However the pub is a little noisy at night ( we stayed on a hot summers night!)

We had another excellent stay, there was a small maintenance discrepancy but Sara, the assistant manager, dealt with the issue in a highly professional manner and to our satisfaction. The staff were excellent, as always, and parking dinner and breakfast were first rate, if a little on the large side! Would certainly stay again.

Breakfast was excellent, staff helpful and friendly. The superior double room was much nicer than the standard double and worth paying the small extra amount for. We had our 2 dogs and hotel is very dog friendly although the £25 per dog per night was a bit steep. Hotel is well located right in the middle of Penkridge, Saturday market is brilliant. We would return.

Check-in was great and the family room we booked was clean and a good size. I removed some stars based on a couple of things. The service, mostly 20 somethings, didn’t come with much of a smile which seems normal these days unless they are well trained by the older generation who realise what service means. We had a drink order at dinner pineapple and lemonade. We were brought a lemonade. This was pointed out at which point the waitress went away and came back with a lemonade again just in a different glass! Also, the fish in the fish and chips had a section that was not fully cooked.

The room was ok. it was very hot but it had a fan which without was unbearable to sleep even with the window open and the road traffic. Air conditioning would be nice. Ironing board with no iron not very helpful. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was ok.

Staff were excellent but hadn’t been briefed properly. Breakfast arrangements were nor great & unless you were having a cooked breakfast the choice was very poor even at a basic level, ended up using our own out of the car! Also had an evening meal in the restaurant which had a good choice on the menu but the the meal didn’t come up to scratch especially for the price. An establishment that was more form over function.

Very nice first impressions met by friendly helpful staff, room as you would expect, only downside was breakfast continental and full English said to be included, we arrived during normal breakfast time several other guests waiting - very slow service- continental was cereals only, wasn’t available to help yourself until waitress brought table in with juice and milk, cooked breakfast to order- which was very slow coming almost an hour taken up waiting order/get and eat breakfast with only 8 - 10 guests breakfasting so slightly let the side down in this department

Only used the bedroom, the bar looked OK but did not try it. I was ready to dine early, but not when the dining area was full of small children although all were seated. I discovered the external 'beer garden' upon my return from dining out, looked clean, tidy and popular at 19-30. My bedroom was on the top floor of four and no assistance offered to carry bag. it was adequate and modern although a new carpet would not go amiss. No bedside table, just a chair with a bedside lamp on it, had to use it to put my glasses, drink and phone. Bed and bedding superb with a modern bathroom and accessible shower. Car parking OK but was full when I arrived ... diners! Room was 'at the back' so no noise from traffic and high enough not to hear the promised 'live music' but the external cooling system did make some noise outside the bedroom window but I had had a long journey so was asleep quickly and not disturbed! did not dine in but found a selection of small eating establishments that looked nice inside but shabby outside. The association with Stafford is misleading, I stayed in Penkridge and Stafford town is about 8 miles north

The room was good, although the shower was a little cramped because of the low ceiling.

We dined late on a very busy Friday, without a booking but were accommodated politely with no fuss.
On top of this the staff, who were under a lot of pressure, served the whole restaurant and bar with excellent professionalism and courtesy making it was a pleasure to dine and be served.
Room and the whole premises were clean and tidy even though your undertaking refurbishment.

Great Job Guys.

Disappointed stay

On arrival we headed straight to check in. Provided our name, was provided with the key, I had to ask timings of breakfast. I was not informed of when check out was or where our room was located.

The room we booked cost over £100 for the night. Unfortunately was in a very poor state. The bathroom had mould growing in the corner of the ceiling, unsightly sealant around the bath area. There was also hairs from previous guest in the bathroom, and heavy dust in areas such as on the toilet roll holder. The door of the bathroom was dirty on the inside which hadn’t been cleaned for a while. The windows paint was all chipped and falling off. The pillow extremely thin and worn. Holes in the bedding. Very disappointed with the stay as we stayed here a few years ago and had a beautiful room well kept room.

We stayed one night in room 5. The room was nice on arrival. Unfortunately the heating didnt work. The staff were helpful and brought a small portable heater but it wasnt really up to the task. We had to go to the front desk a couple of times as the water didnt get hot in the shower. The food and the staff were great but were let down by the room. They were clearly doing work on the facilities but we didnt feel room 5 was good enough for guests.
