Guest Reviews
- Martin's Adventures (9/5): A lovely guest host with great hosts and a very tasty cooked breakfast - The guest house was in the perfect location for visiting Alton Towers, which was the purpose of our trip. It was clean, the hosts very welcoming, the room comfortable and an adequate size. Plus the cooked breakfast was very nice and filling. Every aspect of the stay was excellent. There really wasn't anything wrong with our stay. If we are in the area again, we would likely choose the same place.
- Helen (10/5): Tip Top, perfect when visiting Alton Towers 👏 - Perfect location when visiting Alton Towers👏, very helpful, friendly, spotlessly clean & breakfast was delicious, We highly recommend. Nothing
- Katie (10/5): -
- Paul (8/5): - Made to order, fresh and tasty. Good Choice and inc in Rate
- Ed (8/5): exactly what i needed -
- Lais (10/5): Great stay - We had a great stay at this accommodation. Everything was very clean and well maintained, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, with a fresh and delicious full English that we really enjoyed.
The location is also very convenient, being only about 20 minutes from Alton Towers. The kitchen was very well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals during our stay. The only downside was that the shower pressure was quite weak. Aside from that, everything was perfect and we would definitely recommend staying here.
- Dawn (10/5): - This was a great stop off for our night away. Perfect for us as a family of 4, as our children had their own room. Beds lovely and comfy and we all slept well. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Thank you for a lovely stay.
- Alessandra (10/5): What a lovely place. We will definitely be back. -
- Naomi (9/5): Lovely stay - Beds were very comfy, probably the comfiest we've stayed in other than home. We had enough room for the 4 of us in the family room. Breakfast was delicious and the people who own the guest house are really kind and welcoming.

- Yianoulla (10/5): Cute, cozy, comfortable and clean! - From the moment we arrived it was the warmest welcome! After a long day at Alton Towers we wanted somewhere cozy, cute and clean and this was more than that! The owners are extremely hospitable and make you feel comfortable straight away - we put our orders in for breakfast the night before and let them know a time we would be down for breakfast. Our room was exceptionally clean and having the sofa and kitchen area was great for us to chill for the evening and watch a movie. We had a restful sleep and the perfect breakfast the next morning. I will definitely be booking again when I next visit the theme parks! Xxxxxx

- Etti C. (9/5): Great choice for Alton Towers - Lovely hosts, great breakfast, comfy good size room (we had the family studio apartment which was perfect for us - 2 adults and a toddler.

Breakfast was amazing. I would definitely return and recommend 10 out of 10 x
See you again soon regards Dawn and Ian xxx Everything was excellent
- Wayne (10/5): A lovely guest house ran by a lovely couple who look after you - The hosts were wonderful. The property is spotless and the breakfast was fantastic served in a homely dining room. Host was very kind, he called us to tell us we had left a charger at the property. The door frames are low in the room we stayed in , but that’s just how the old building is. Nothing can be done .. just remember if you go to the loo in the night 😂

- Erika (10/5): - The owners were so nice! Absolutely friendly and helpful. The facilities were super clean. The breakfast was delicious. The family room was good for 2 adults and 2 kids. It's absolutely cozy and charming in a nice and quiet neighborhood. If you're tall you might bump your head on a door frame. Seriously, I have nothing actually negative.
- Kevin (9/5): Lovely guest house will definitely return. - Great location for our trip to Uttoxeter races. Warm welcome. Comfortable room. Great breakfast. Poor tv reception in bedroom
- Gill (8/5): - Comfortable. Clean. Tasty breakfast. As I was on a work trip, a small desk would have been good. Also - a decaf option in the hospitality tray in room would have been welcome.
- Jonathan (9/5): - Hospitality, room, on site parking. I found the shower to be less powerful than I would have liked.
- Desiree (9/5): -
- Kiran (10/5): I really enjoyed it apart from that encounter - I liked the fact it was so clean and comfy .I felt safe it was really quiet which is what we needed after a long day at Alton towers Not enough toiletries .When asked I was refused and they were quite abrupt with my partner about that stating they have provided enough the shampoo was 35ml and I have very long hair so that’s just not enough .The shower gel is the same 35ml bottle after being in Alton towers all day I would like to be to lather up twice as we been walking all day we felt uncomfortable so in order to feel clean I needed more so yeah I didn’t appreciate being told enough was provided when they gave 35ml and we showered twice it’s personal preference we use more so when we ask for another one I don’t see why that was such an issue .I have to say the hosts werent abrupt with us on the other occasions we met then like breakfast time etc just that time
- Victoria (10/5): Perfect - We booked this place after reading all the positive reviews of the breakfast ☺️ - I can report it didn’t disappoint. The accommodation was excellent aswell. Super clean and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable too.
- Olena (10/5): -
- Helen (10/5): A lovely place to stay with friendly , excellent hosts. Thank you! - The location was perfect after having gone to Alton Towers for the day. The family room with a separate double and twin rooms with the shower in between was perfect for us and our 2 teenage daughters. The breakfast was delicious - highly recommend!
- Lynsey (10/5): Great guest house. Hosts were lovely and fantastic breakfast. Close by to Alton Towers would highly recommend. - Lovely & clean
- Diana (8/5): It was simple, clean and comfortable place of rest with good hosts. - We liked the the twin beds for the kids next door while we had our privacy in our own room. The beddings were comfortable and befitting of the price. The height of the doors/door frames. Even though the host told us to be mindful of the height of the the 17th century building doors/door frames, my husband hit his head about three times by the time we left.
- Alberto (10/5): Great breakfast - Very friendly and inviting welcome. The room was a good size with a very nice country cottage feel to it, a good sized modern bathroom. The breakfast was excellent, good quality ingredients. The full English breakfast was done well and hot. Well worth the stay.
- Lindsey Bentham (9/5): -
- Dominic (10/5): It’s a solid 10/10 from me 🙏 - It’s clean and has a homely feel and you couldn’t ask for better hosts they really are wonderful people! ☺️ It was perfect 🤩
David and Rebecca are just wonderful kind people and always there to assist
- Anthony (9/5): -
- Saliya (4/5): - The room and the breakfast was good but not exceptional The worst experience was the man's attitude. He was rude. When I said that I have to go out and come back around midnight he asked me to find another place. When I said that its too late to find another place he strongly discouraged. He got angry when I asked about the breakfast. I only wanted to find out if some healthy options were available because of a health condition I have. He accused me of wanting different types of flavours of yoghurt which was not the case. By then I had already requested in my written request which was only a brown bread and plain youghurt. As this was late evening the day before I was to travel to the Guest House I was feeling bad and anxious going to stay there as an unwelcome visitor.
Until I left I was feeling at any point he could come and blame me for something.
I later found that there are other reviews with similar experience. I would rather go to a place where I will be welcomed even if the room and breakfast was not good. If the food was bad you can buy but staying anxious and you cant do anything. I felt like it was a boarding school with a strict warden. I would stay in a guest house where the owners care about their business and try to attract customers showing good attitude
- Rebecca (10/5): - How’s were excellent and attentive
Breakfast was exceptional!
Beds were comfy and room was very clean.
Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Nothing - excellent!
- Matt (9/5): Great stay, enjoyed Alton towers - Nice apartment in good location for Alton Towers. Plenty of space with kitchen area and bathroom, living room and bedroom area. Breakfast provided was delicious and. Hosts were really nice and helpful/ accommodating. Sofa wasn’t that comfortable, needed a separate pop up bed for my daughter really- booking.com shouldn’t allow it to be booked for an adult and teenager, bed is only a double but plenty of space for a kingsize could be a better option. And would allow people to sleep comfortably.
- Bart Bartosz (10/5): - Friendly staff, cosy apartment and great breakfast
Fair price Nothing
- Rebecca (10/5): Beautiful apartment and lovely hosts ☺️ - Lovely apartment - so clean and homely ☺️ the photos are such a good representation and they still don’t do it justice with how lovely it is ☺️ Found it a bit cold but they did provide an extra heater which was really appreciated ☺️
- Stuart (10/5): Lovely hosts and a fantastic stay. Happy customers. Would visit again! - This was a gorgeous guest house. We booked it to stay in after Alton Towers and it was perfect. Great value for money, and the facilities were spotless. The breakfast was really spot on, and the hosts couldn't have been more accommodating.
- Alan (10/5): very pleasaant - Friendly welcome. Lovely breakfast, well cooked and appetizing.
We would definitely stay here again, it was perfect for our needs.
- Simon (10/5): Staff were very friendly and welcoming, great little property that was perfect for our visit to Alton Towers. - It was lovely and cosy, breakfast provided was great and really well organised so it was ready promptly.
- Richard (9/5): - Warm welcome. Lovely room and breakfast was high quality. Good location for the races. Nothing.

07/11/2025 - The room was spotless and had a lovely warm feel. It was just so fresh and clean. The hosts were very welcoming, the drinks in the bar were excellent value and we really enjoyed our stay. I loved the fact our children had their own beds in the family room which is often not the case in large hotels. The breakfast was amazing and we would love to come back. There really wasn't anything we didn't like
