Lodging business in Stoke

“Here for a course for 2 nights just 2 miles away from here, so for me the location was excellent and also quiet for me to relax and study. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Food in the pub is excellent, dare I say some of the best pub food I have ever had. Rooms are very comfortable and relaxing with some lovely extra touches. Excellent beer garden and choice of beers. Really impressed and would love to come back.”

“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.”

“Visited here for a spa day to celebrate my birthday. The spa is very small so we only booked for a 4 hour session, worrying we might get bored. However, the time absolutely flew by and we wished we had longer! We had the mill wheel back massage, which was excellent. We also booked in for afternoon tea, which was delicious and very generous portions. Would definitely recommend.”

“Stayed at Premier Inn (Leek) for a local wedding and was really impressed. The hotel is modern and accessible, with a convenient car park on site. Check-in was swift and easy, and our room was lovely. We opted for the Ultimate Room, which came with air conditioning and free WiFi. The bed was extremely comfortable, and everything was spotless. We stayed midweek, so the restaurant was fairly quiet in the evening, simple dishes to choose from. Breakfast offered plenty of choice. Overall, excellent value for money and a very comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend. The only thing for improvement would be having a smart TV to be able to stream or offer netflix, YouTube services.”

“Located about 15 minutes walk from the town centre this is a modern premier Inn with Aircon and plenty of parking (payable) as there is extra parking underneath and behind it. Friendly helpful staff, well run restaurant for breakfast and evening meal if wanted, but also lots of restaurants within walking or short drive distance. Buxton is well located for visitors to the Peak district.”

“We stopped here for lunch on a whim - really glad we did so as it is a gem. Good service and atmosphere, clean and just a really nice place to stop at. The icing on the cake for me was the fact the menu had many gluten free choices, one of which was a pie. Such a rare treat to find gf pie on a menu anywhere. It was delicious. My husband had the ordinary pie and was likewise impressed. Unfortunately for us we found this Inn on our last day in the area, so we weren't able to return, but I'd willingly recommend it to others.”

“Lovely place for a lunch and cuppa. The Derbyshire oatcakes are scrumptious! Thank you to all the staff for making our time here such a pleasant one.”

“What a gem! I don't know if I got lucky with room 10 or just due to booking early, but all I can say is wow! Very spacious, double aspect twin room. The views of the lake were breath taking and perfecr for people watching. Large bathroom with bath and shower which was a lovely suprise, all looked to have been freshly decorated. The breakfaat was delicious, with a large choice of fresh fruit, cereals, pastries and full english on offer. Staff were very pleasant, private carpark was very handy aa parking would have been difficult in Buxton itself. Hotel location waa ideal, lovely walk through the park to the shops, cafes, resturants and opera house. Or walking the opposite direction to pooles cavern and national park for a day out walking. Great value for money and will definitley be returning”

“Really pleased with my choice, stayed for 2 nights on a romantic weekend! It's well located about 5 min car journey into Buxton. Owner was helpful, kind and knowledgable about places to eat etc. The room was nice and spacious. The breakfast was very good and we needed earlier at 8am and that was not a problem, actually was owner's suggestion because we had a hiking at 9am. Considering the area, WiFi was very quick! They have a little farm with animals unfortunately we had no time for visiting but you can see them from the car park! We really do recommend!”

“We loved our stay. I'd like to say a big thank you to Marcie for providing such a wonderful service from start to finish. She made our stay very special and we appreciated it very much. ♥️ We go back just to see her!”

“We booked a table for 4, for a celebratory meal for our daughter who'd smashed her GCSE's. It was a pleasant environment to be in, the staff were friendly and professional. The main courses were very good, just one little criticism we ordered 2 Lasagne's and found it to be a little too salty, but we don't use salt much anyway. The other 2 mains were fab. Well, what can I say about the desert they were amazing and generous portions, you couldn't fault them. We will definitely go back there. Hats off to them.”

“On a short break in Telford. We checked in inside the pub and was in our room (in a modern building adjacent to the pub) within a few minutes. The room was spacious, clean and up to date. A bath and shower was a welcome addition rather than just one or the other. Nice large tv, comfortable bed and tea/coffee making facilities were to hand. We had an evening meal in the pub (excellent value for money) followed by a lovely cooked breakfast in the morning. Highly recommended by us and would come again for sure.”

“I had my wedding here on the 8th August 2025. Abby and Howard did such a fantastic job. Our ceremony was in the cave at the follies, our reception was at the hotel. Our day was absolutely perfect and all our guests complimented all the work Abby and Howard did. The day ran smoothly and there was no stress or issues. The hotel was spotless and extremely clean. They moved our belongings to the bridal suite, and left us a lovely surprise when we retired to our room at night. The food was absolutely delicious. Food was delivered warm and in a timely manner. Abby even assisted me with setting everything up ready the day before my wedding. I cannot compliment Abby and Howard enough. Abby especially has been wonderful over the last 18 months of wedding planning. She has always been polite, responsive and so incredibly kind and welcoming to my family, guests and ourselves. Our wedding was a very long day and Abby and Howard were absolutely exceptional. We truly cannot thank you enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams. I would strongly recommend couples to get married at the follies, it an intimate wedding is preferred. It was beautiful and the views were just breathtaking. We had additional guests for our wedding breakfast, with further guests for our evening reception. All at the Hawkstone Park Hotel. Abby was very accommodating to our needs. Abby, Howard, we will never forget your kindness and hard work. Thank you both so much. We will forever be grateful. Highly recommend!!! x x x”

“We celebrated my daughter’s 18th birthday here and there were 32 of us dining and we had such a lovely time. The staff were brilliant to deal with while we were planning and collating everyone’s meal orders and decorated the room for us after I had left balloons there earlier in the day. That was a lovely surprise. The food was delicious and arrived without any problems. We felt looked after and the whole evening was fabulous.”

“Beautiful holiday park, staff great, clean and well spaced out between the lodges in the quieter part of the park, lodge was stunning, so spacious, everything you could need, fantastic, been a few times now”

“Excellent service with very engaging and pleasant staff. Food was delicious, so much so that we booked as soon as we got home that same evening for the next week.”

“What an incredible place, with attentive and hard-working staff. I loved every minute there.”

“Stayed for two nights for a wedding. The girls that run this place are so friendly and nothing is too much for them. One of our friends didn’t make it back to the hotel for breakfast and they offered to keep a plate for her in case she was hungry which was so sweet of them to offer. Our room was very big, it is the basics but can commend them on the how clean and spacious they were and one of the few hotels that give you more than one hanger which was very handy! Breakfast is great, little shorter and earlier than I would prefer but the food quality makes it worth it. The girls are so friendly and so helpful with any questions. We will be back to visit our friends and certainly be staying here again!”

“A lovely, quirky place to stay. Highly recommended”

“Extremely interesting house packed full of history”

“Perfect stop on our cycle trip. They were great with storing our bikes and the room was perfect and cosy. The breakfast was also just what we needed and more than enough to eat. Would stay again in the future.”

“I’ve been wanting to stay at the Enchanted Village Treehouses at Alton Towers since they’ve opened, and as it was a friends birthday, 8 of us pooled together to stay in one during Oktoberfest during September 2023. I’m not going to soften the blow – this is one of, if not the most expensive accommodations on-site at Alton Towers, but was the price-tag worth it? I think it was! First off, once booked, we received all the normal confirmations as you would expect. What was nice however is we received a phone call a few days before we checked in from a very friendly woman, who explained everything we would want to know about our stay. It was a very nice personalised touch, and got us excited for the trip. Upon arrival, you get 2 reserved parking spaces at the Alton Towers Hotel which we took advantage of. As check in was at 2pm, we headed into Alton Towers in the morning and then headed back to check in. There is a specific Enchanted Village Treehouses check in area in the Alton Towers hotel, where you’re met by a member of the team who give you all the details you’ll need, keys and tell you how to get to your lodge. Once the paperwork was done, we headed to the lodge. The Enchanted Village area is car free, so we grabbed our bags and headed to the lodge. The host who checked us in stopped by to show us how everything worked, and again, this very personal touch was greatly appreciated and did elevate the experience somewhat. Upon entry, the Treehouse was impressive, with massive high ceilings and big windows overlooking the forest. There were lots of little details throughout the lodge such as little ‘fairy doors’, books for children, mugs with hot chocolate and biscuits, as well as an XBOX with games. As it was our friend’s birthday, they organised a really lovely treats hamper, including sweets, popcorn, some Wickerman goodies and a bottle of Prosecco – it was a really lovely surprise and one he hugely appreciated. The highlight however was the hot tub on the terrace overlooking the forest – it was fabulous and, in my opinion, made the price tag of the Treehouse worthwhile. There was something quite special being sat in your lovely warm hot tub sipping some bubbles overlooking the forest. The bedrooms were fairly small, but as we were staying just the one night, we didn’t spend a huge amount of time in them. As part of the package, we also got 4 Fastrack passes per person for The Smiler, Spinball Whizzer, Runaway Minetrain and Wicker Man. These do change throughout the year so the rides may be different, but this was a great bonus as it was a busy Saturday on the park. As part of the package we got breakfast in the Crooked Spoon. I’ve left a separate review of my experience at The Crooked Spoon as this was very disappointing, and did leave a sour note on the end of stay – but I feel that the Treehouse itself shouldn’t be penalised for the poor experience there. Overall, as a treat for a special occasion, the Enchanted Village Treehouses are worth it. The service, perks and location really do make a difference – and the wonderful hot tub is the cherry on the cake.”

“Great small holding farm, clean quiet spacious cottage for 9 no probs ! Owners are very welcoming & nothing a trouble. Great location for Alton towers & the peaks. Small animals & a shared garden space for the kids with swings etc”

“Beaut guest house, lovely staff. Decorated beautifully throughout with modern rooms and the most comfortable bed. Lots of tea and coffee on hand in the room, as well as a selection of toiletrys being available in the bathroom. We had a room with a shared bathroom, which was not a problem what so ever, the whole place was pristine and absolutely spotless. Everything you need is just down to the road. Lovely selection of pubs, bars shops and restaurants all within walking distance. Excellent stay for the price, will defo be returning. They were so accommodating for my friends dog, such a lovely place to stay. We had the best time during our stay and so glad we visited for the night.”

“Our stay at Alton Castle Centre Hostel definitely exceeded our expectations. We had been looking into options for our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children) to stay for 1 night following a full on day at Alton Towers and travelling from London we needed a place to stay. Being only 5 minutes away from Alton Towers and getting one room for the 6 of us together was perfect for our needs. The staff on arrival and throughout our stay were so welcoming and accommodating and they even had time to listen to the overexcited children we have in tow. we were allocated a table for our family in the eating area and everything felt so clean and organised. The room its self was clean and spacious. and after the deciding of who had top or bottom bunk the kids all settled well for the evening. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to crash when visiting the theme park and would stay again. Disliked · Nothing to reflect the Hostel itself but not being used to sleeping in a bunk bed, my sleep could have been more comfortable but we still had a good nights sleep.”

“We absolutely enjoyed the stay, we were a group of family friends with kids. Loved the views and location. The town just 5 miles down the road too. Service was great”

“We rented Rosehill for a multigen family weekend with 11 adults and 9 children and cannot recommend it highly enough. The grounds are beautiful, there is ample to keep children (and adults!) entertained, and everywhere was spotlessly clean. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with. We hired a private chef -Roots and Wings -for a Saturday adult dinner, also highly recommended. Overall, perfect for our needs.”

“Stayed at The Saddlery Cheshire for a weekend and WOW! Stunning place, absolutely spotless with everything you could ask for. Stacy and Daniel are both lovely people who will look after you making your stay both enjoyable and memorable. Amazing scenery and views all round. I will be back that's for sure. Thank you”

“Great place to stay! Lovely breakfast and comfy beds, would defiantly go back! Very friendly and great host! Highly recommended.”
