Great hotel

Really nice hotel,which is refreshing when hotels are becoming more of the same. It’s got a lovely ambiance and sits in grounds which are just perfect for a walk before dinner. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful plus the restaurant serves nice food at a very competitive price. We stayed there after my wife went to the Emma Bridgewater factory which is just up the road. It’s also close to the Wedgewood experience if you’re into that sort of thing. A real plus for me were the electric chargers for the car too. Thoroughly recommended.

Historic property with all modern comforts

A charming hotel full of character. A historic property with connections to the Wedgwood family. We were greeted by Bella the resident cat who endeared herself to us. The room was perfect with a good balance of historic charm and modern comfort. Good supply of teas, coffee and biscuits appreciated.

Another comfortable stay whilst visiting my parents in the village. It’s a beautiful property ideal for walks around the area whilst offering home comforts and a great breakfast. I always have a great night sleep and the bathroom facilities are really modern. Customer Service just needs to be a little more personable as I stay here quite regularly and they haven’t yet realised with the ‘welcome to me back’ however it’s perfect for my family.

Really comfortable room and bed with a modern bathroom that’s super clean. Staff were welcoming and the breakfast was great with lots of options. Parking is easy and it’s really accessible for visiting our family. Would suggest a little bit more personal interaction to gauge why a customer visits and share what else is available food/drink wise from the hotel besides breakfast. Will be staying again in a couple of weeks and looking forward to it.

A hidden gem just off the M6

We’ve stayed here several times as a stop off on our way north using the M6. It’s always welcoming, comfortable and usually quiet (just once there was a wedding there but it didn’t interfere with our stay). The individually ordered breakfast is the best we’ve come across. The evening meal offers variety and nothing is too much trouble. The gardens provide a lovely walk and photo opportunities.

Stayed (for second time) overnight, with family joining us for evening meal. Staff could not have been more helpful, a 'can do' attitude made us all feel very welcome. Excellent food, lovely surroundings / grounds.
