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.

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.
