The hotel and staff brilliant. The room was very comfortable. Breakfast was all we could wish for, unfortunately the Sunday evening meal was not so good. A very good area for nearby visits Shrugbough, Cannockheath etc. Happy to return.

Would definitely go back. Superb staff, everything's clean and spacious. Great food. Single only bit of negative feedback is that our bathroom was very dated but still clean and well presented so certainly not an issue.

The hotel was a great find and will definitely be back. The room was clean and warm, the bed was very comfortable and a good selection on the tea tray. The evening menu was a little disappointing as both items we asked for have been removed from the menu but the room menus have not been updated. Breakfast was good, we both had full English which had very good fresh ingredients. Overall, the staff and hotel were excellent
