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.

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.

The stay was situated at a calm and quite, serene space. The only problem with the property was they did not provide essential toiletries like toothbrush or toothpaste inside the stay, the only option was to buy the products from them at reception.

Family trip to Alton Towers

Comfy clean accommodation. A bit dated but well worth the cost. Big bright room with a small bunk room which between them accommodated myself & 6 grandchildren between the ages of 10 & 14 whilst we had a couple of days at Alton Towers. We all loved the food and the portions were good. They were safe playing in the park outside the back of the restaurant. The staff were all really friendly and spent time chatting to the kids even though they were pretty lively at times.

Not a hotel, not very flexible

Lets get it straight, this is not a hotel, its a pub with a collection of ugly cabins, with bed & bunkbeds in, the bathroom is a compact set up, not easy for the toilet or shower, the windows were odd and the curtains torn, I was in billet 21 and by parking in ‘my’ parking spot I blocked the entrance to number 20, the reception although polite is not very friendly, and their flexibility is non-existent We returned to the pub/hotel at 10:30 hoping for a drink and the bar was closed, with the bar staff leaving, at breakfast I was given a menu which was ceremonially taken of me and a replacement at twice the price given - as I was room only.

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)
