Superb 2 bed Apartment Great location

The owner is lovely and replied quickly to messages. I have had to think longer than normal about whether to write this review as I really dont want to cause offence.

The house looks lovely when you enter. You enter through the kitchen and it has plenty of stuff to help make your stay great. The cooker and fridge are lovely and work well. You then walk down the corridor and up a set of stairs to a floor which brings you to the bathroom, bedrooms and sitting room. We booked for 5 of us and I messaged as there weren't enough towels or bedclothes. I then had to look in different cupboards and wardrobes for the towels and quilts. The sofas were too uncomfortable to sleep on and I thank god I had an airbed in my car, which we utilised. The noise from ambulances and cars revving went on all night, so we didn't get the best nights sleep. We live in a smaller town though and not used to these noises, so that was probably an us issue. My sister had asked me you check the beds to make sure they were clean. I lifted the pillow and it felt strange. Like dryer sheets or fabric conditioner that hadn't been rinsed out. Or like fabrrze had been sprayed on it liberally.I passed that comment on and she used it that night. She then woke up and realised that through the fabric conditioner/fabreze smell, it was obvious it was to disguise the smell of vomit! This was unacceptable and extremely off putting. So I am not sure about how clean the bedding actually was. The TV also kept turning on in the livingroom by itself. We also couldn't unpack, as although there were plenty of cupboards and wardrobes they were all full of stuff. The house looks nice and was convenient for us but I wouldnt return unfortunately.

Very nice and spacious place to stay around the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very nice and cosy and well equipped rooms and kitchen. Definitely suggest worth staying if someone is looking to travel in this direction

The bathroom lock was faulty, causing a slight inconvenience, but nothing really to fault the place of stay

Very easy and straightforward

None everything besides it is on busy road

A good location, comfortable and modern interior and a nice little patio area for the dogs to run around

Did not dislike anything . The property was a little too hot when we got there and could do with some solar lights in the garden.

Got to be one of the best stays in a long time. We booked couple of Easter weekend activities- Alton Towers and Trentham Gardens. This property was our base camp. Don’t be put off by the pics of the shop front / advertising, this is the hosts other private business. The property is enormous inside with private parking to the side of the property with easy access to the courtyard and into the kitchen. Super king size bathroom and rooms are cosy. Although we have a very big 5 bed house, this property is advertised as two bed but it was big enough for 6 of us - 3 adults and 3 kids. One of the adults being my daughter who is at Uni and whom we went to visit. I reluctantly booked this property as it was the only one available in the location we wanted and at the time no other bigger property were available. I was not disappointed - two bed rooms but the living room doubled up as a bedroom due to a guest sofa bed being available so my two boys camped there. Host provided enough bedding but the boys took their sleeping bags and enjoyed the stay since there was a massive sky TV !!! The host Dave was a true gentleman. We originally booked for two nights - Easter Friday and Saturday but then decided to stay an extra night to do a visit at trentham gardens which is about 3 miles from the property. Contacted the host (by messaging) on the night before checking out, probably around 1 am to ask if property was available for Sunday night. The host promptly replied and stated he normally gets the cleaners in but it would mean asking the cleaners to come in on the Bank Holiday Monday - note host has other flats in this property rented out that are separate to this let so it meant separately organising the cleaners to come in on the bank holiday to clean after we checked out on Monday morning.

N/A Note. other guests have complained about the noisy road as there is an ambulance site nearby. This in my view nonsense. Yes there is traffic but did not bother us a single bit. Do not read too much into this.

Good location 30 minutes from alton towers which is why we booked. Beds were comfortable apart from my son complaining the sofa bed wasn't. If I'm being very picky the apartment wasn't 100% clean (there was an empty bottle behind bedside drawers) dust on skirting boards but generally clean otherwise. Dave was just a message away and responded promptly which was appreciated. The milk and croissants were a great touch on arrival.

The noise from being on a main road kept us up most of the first night. Its near an ambulance station so sirens woke us alot and the room was boiling hot so couldn't have the window open.

Property owners agent (Travelnest) decided to cancel my booking without instruction. This caused a payment issue which ended in the property owner making threatening calls in regards to payment and demanding direct payment. This caused untold stress on my family to secure there stay for the second night stay. On top of this the kitchen did not have all of the necessary utensils needed to be able to prepare food, the downstairs toilet isnt fitted securely to the floor, plaster damaged in several room and the kitchen floor was filthy. The location is very busy with a lot of traffic noise including a lot of emergency vehicles. We wont be back

When we first arrived my 5 year old son wanted to get into bed to lie down as we had been travelling all day from Ireland. The first thing he noticed was hairs all in the double bed, I was horrified to see that the bed had not been changed from the previous guests. When I contacted Dave - the host, he apologised and said it was possibly from the washing machine. The sheets were dirty and it was just not acceptable and very unhygienic. Also the double bed is so old and really uncomfortable, springs in your back caused really bad back pain. Needs to be replaced. The apartment was very dirty. The floors where not mopped in a long time, my sons socks where black from the dirt of walking around the kitchen downstairs after 10 minutes. I had to keep making sure we all wore footwear while walking around down stairs. The shower glass enclosure had not been cleaned. Dirt smudged all over it and really grubby when the sun shined on it. Also the shower, toilet and bath floor mats were soaking wet when we arrived. I was not sure if they were wet from the previous guests or straight out of the washing machine. I just left them in the bath and did not stand on them, freaked me out thinking it was wet from the previous guests. There was a strong smell of vomit from the living room, particularly around the sofa area, like a stale smell of vomit that just lingered, vile! The fridge was grubby on the inside. Needs to be cleaned also. The location was great for us travelling to Alton towers, but you have to be ok with noise as it’s a really busy area and sirens from the emergency services go off all night long. Didn’t bother us too much but if you were sensitive to noise this could be an issue. The entrance to the property to the front door was so run down and mouldy, it really needs to be updated. The property is so modern, beautiful and well decorated, such a shame the cleanliness is so poor. Needs a good deep cleaning.
