Breakfast in Stafford

“Short version: Fantastic B&B to which we'd happily return. Our hosts were exceptionally welcoming and personable and were very happy to help us out wherever they could; in my case, using the warm, dry, shed to replace a tubless bicycle tyre which had given up on the idea of retaining air inside it. The room was great and everything felt 'just so'. It's unashamedly at the more premium feeling end of the market and worth every penny of our stay there. Special mention must be made of the breakfasts which were spectacular. The continental breakfast was vast and included fruit juice, cereal, croissants, fresh fruit and toast. There is also the (additional charge) option of a Full English which is fabulous, although it may mean you don't eat very much until rather later in the day...there isn't a huge amount of plate showing between the food. Bonus points must also be awarded to the choice of putting peppercorns on the mushrooms. Pro tip 1: if you're after a cooked breakfast (and I'd urge you to at least try it once), it's a good idea to let someone know the night before so they can be prepared. Pro tip 2: Steve and Andy's local knowledge is excellent, both in terms of the eateries, but also the small roads to avoid so I'd recommend taking advantage. I did a Google check on one of them and it'd be ... interesting ... to take a car down there, especially as you're highly likely to meet a tractor coming the other way.”

“Having stopped in the finest hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfasts before I can only describe this one as 5+ stars. From booking, to arriving, the welcome, the accommodation, and the food was all first class. The cost was very reasonable, I would have expected to pay much more given how good it was. Well done the owners!”

“Our one-night stay at this B&B was absolutely wonderful! The breakfast was delicious and the cozy atmosphere of the place made it even more enjoyable. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this charming spot.”

“Had a fabulous overnight stay at Cul Mor absolutely perfect, lovely and quiet rural location with great opportunities for walking to explore local area & nature reserve which we loved. Susan has thought of everything needed for your stay with a fabulous eye for attention to detail and spotless. Thank you for your welcome.”

“Just spent a night at the 'Spitfire' Premier Inn, Stafford. Stay was to the standard advertised & expected, although no capacity for hot breakfast due to a restaurant refurb BUT crossed the road & used 'Hurricane' Premier Inn & breakfasted there! I'd mention Sharon on reception at Spitfire who was genuinely welcoming when we first arrived & couldn't do enough to help us (to locate earlier arrived friends, direct us to a wedding venue & advise re local taxi's etc. Such a lovely lady).”

“Stopped off on my own on route further north. I had emailed in advance to say I would be arriving late and could I have a room in the quiet part. They responded quickly advising they are there 24/7 and they had reserved me a room. It was easy to find, plenty of parking. The lady who was working (last night 19th)was so friendly, a credit to your company and made me feel at ease. Room was clean and spacious. I paid for the breakfast and all of the staff were very friendly, food was yummy and good value. All interactions I had with all of the staff were positive, I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you again”

“Booked 12x rooms to stay away for work, the staff have been extremely helpful, friendly and polite. The one's I have personally dealt with, Josh, Trish and Carole are a credit to your hotel, but it's to be noted that everyone else I've spoken to have been great, too! 10/10, will return next time we need to stay away for work!”

“Very comfortable. Large room, comfortable beds and good bathroom. The decor is rather outdated, but that's no problem. Excellent location opposite Stoke Station. Nice hotel bar too.”

“I would share a photo of my Roast of the Day bap, with a generous amount of tasty beef and loads of crispy roast potatoes, but I’ve eaten the lot! This place is special. The welcome is genuine and caring. And the bread and butter pudding was delicious. I managed a quick pic of that before finishing it.”

“The food at Mustang Valley is absolutely gorgeous: it's great value for money and the staff are just lovely. I ordered the vegetarian curry (chickpea and potato), with egg fried rice and a vegetarian samosa. The curry tasted incredible and the rice was among the best I've ever had. The samosa was fantastic and really flavourful. The gentleman and lady who were working the stall were so so friendly and I could smell the food being cooked fresh to order which was such a treat. Pictured are the portions, as you can see they are really generous and make you feel as if you're getting fantastic value for money.”

“We came for the Sunday lunch carvery, generous portions, home cooked and really good. The pub is a ‘proper’ pub , cosy and welcoming will come again .”

“All perfect from beginning to end, shown to our room which was clean and smart. Good selection of beers in the bar itself. And the breakfast was simple but more than adequate for the onward journey. Top marks all round.”

“I absolutely loved this place I took my niece and nephew there and they usually do not eat a lot but this time they finished their food and even asked for more!! This is my new favourite place!!”

“Great quality food. Great atmosphere and fab team. So so full. Highly recommend the full breakfast. Such good food! And the staff are lovely. Always go there when I need a good meal”

“Lovely biker cafe. Had the full English for £11. Not greasy at all and food was delicious. Definitely be adding to my ride out locations”

“I have know Abdul for as long as he has been supplying quality food in Stafford. He has always been most helpful and obliging. The quality of the food supplied by Thawa Bridge is excellent and I feel is the best take away Indian cuisine in the area. Don't take it from m, try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed”

“I'd been told this place was good but I was surprised just how good. Quality of food was superb and the service was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.”

“Enter stay. First time visiting for an afternoon tea. Was very impressed with the interior and the Christmas decorations. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table in the window. The afternoon tea didn’t disappoint. There was a good variety of sandwiches and the fillings were very generous. The scones were delicious, the only niggle was that there was only a small pot of jam between people. The cakes were lovely and the chocolate pot so rich. Will certainly come again.”

“We hired the boat "Molly May" through Waterways Holidays from Norbury Wharf.. We arrived and we met by friendly approachable staff. The Boat was ready to go and was spotless.. We loaded up and Phil showed us all we needed to know, he was very thorough and left us full of confidence for the week ahead. On return we were helped into the boat yard and had to admit to a lost windlass and 2 broken glasses!! The staff were very good about it and didn't charge us and even offered 5% off our next to holiday with them! The cafe and chandlery were also excellent.. Many thanks for a great wk of off grid solitude!!”

“A large group of us had a wonderful meal at the Dog and Doublet, while staying at a local Airb&b. We were treated excellently, by friendly, helpful and very attentive staff. Our food was delicious and came quickly, high quality and worth the money. Definitely recommended.”

“Great place for a reunion of friends. Would equally suit a family looking for a few nights away. The house is clean though in some areas a bit tired but overall what one would expect for an older property. The views and scenery are stunning and it's very quiet so a great place to get away from it all and unwind. Nearest pub is a short drive away in a nearby village so if you want a pub in walking distance not really doable. The open fire in the lounge is fantastic and we bought extra firewood which is essential. One of the bedrooms was very cramped but the others were great with comfy beds. Kitchen well stocked with utensils, cooker, hob and microwave plus dishwasher a bonus. Overall, for the price, the property, I believe, offers fantastic value for money and great place for stopping a few nights.”

“I was here yesterday for lunch with my girlfriend and we had a wonderful time. Of course, the cafe is in a great location, and we enjoyed sitting outside (despite the cold!) taking in the view and watching all the birds who came and went from the decking area. What we loved here was the attention to detail in the food: We ordered a jacket potato with cheese and a leek and potato soup - the cheese was already melted into the potato, and the bread that came with the soup was toasted! Little things like this turned it from a good meal into a great one! Whenever we're back in Stafford, this will definitely be somewhere we try to visit again.”

“Brilliant service from the tall fellow in here. Very friendly, and helpful. Can’t praise this place highly enough.”

“I booked a room for family members, and they had a lovely stay. The team at this premier inn were brilliant, very helpful and really pleasant. The room its self looked old and tired, but it was very clean. They have a restaurant in the hotel, but it’s not open yet, so we booked breakfast in the pub opposite, which was very nice.”

“Always a decent place to visit. Whether you’re eating, drinking l, catching up or just want to explore the old building. Cheap drinks and there is a big selection, hot and cold. Food served here too, good enough for the price. Busier at weekends. Always a good place to start a night out. Surprisingly the toilets are on ground level and not half a mile away.”

“4 years ago i first visited this place with the girl i was on a 1st date back then we are now married and still enjoy coming back to this classic local cafe. The staff are amazing and the food is brilliant.”

“I had the cheese steak burger it’s was juicy and flavourful and the chips was equally as nice washed down with a pint of cold river! I was served by Jake the manager on shift couldn’t of been more helpful and kind”
