Carlton Towers Estate - Stapleton Rooms & Parkgate Cottages

For a two bed cottage it was no more expensive than a hotel room ! It was so snuggly warm we had to turn the radiators down too.

Very clean, fabulous comfortable bed, great bathroom.

It’s very very hot & we could not find any way to turn off the heating overnight.

Stunning room and comfortable bed

Expectations based pictures were high, but expectations based on the very reasonable price worried me that we may have booked a lemon. However, our expectations based on the pictures were well exceeded. A beautifully quirky cottage, seriously pretty, very nicely staged, with a super lux feel made a better than home from home. Whilst we had one Major issue detailed in ‘what didn’t you like’ and one Minor. We would definitely return, and highly recommend. However, if the GDPR issue hasn’t resolved itself upon return, we would absolutely not visit again.

Major: Our booking forms along with the other cottages residents (complete with full names, addresses, and telephone numbers) were left in full public view on top of a piano in the large main entrance hall of the towers, where we were booked to attend an event. Many people were in attendance at the event, and not just the people staying at the cottages. We weren’t told these forms would be there, and we spotted them completely by accident whilst loitering around this area. It was mentioned to a bar staff member on the night, but they were very young, and didn’t seem to grasp the importance of our issue. Our party all felt this data breach was very unprofessional! Minor: We booked a 2 double bedroom cottage for 2 couples (4 people). Yet living room only had one small 2 seater sofa and a chair, meaning someone had to sit on the floor. There is room for a second 2 seater, or a 3 plus 1. This needs some thought.

Close proximity to Carlton Towers. Very comfortable beds, lovely bathroom

Unfortunately there was no where decent to have an evening meal as The Odddfellows was closed 😕
