Lounge in Stoke

“My son and I stopped here for a night for a few days walking in the Peaks. I stayed here when I was on a school walking trip and enjoyed it then as we walked from Hostel to hostel. I was certainly not disappointed with this visit either, it's such a historic building with all it's character and charm kept, well done YHA. The Hall is super with lots of rooms to chill in, great choice of food and drinks on offer. The staff were really friendly and helpful and kept us informed of the hostels amenities. The choice of food and good selection for breakfast was great. The rooms were clean and well catered for, we stopped in a private room which had its own shower and sink in the room which was good in the coach house. The hostel is well situated in a lovely quiet area and village with a choice of walks from the front door.”

“Such a pleasant place to come too for a pint, as the duck pond and surroundings are relaxing and you can get a coffee/sandwich from the cafe next door!”

“First time going in as I was at my daughter's house nearby... Great little pub great atmosphere... Good prices... Friendly staff..”

“Excellent lady behind the counter and an absolutely beautiful smooth latte. Not too strong in taste and not served so hot it burns the tongue out of your mouth. Excellent.”

“Great live music venue. One of few in the area. It needs your support #grassrootsmusic #keepmusiclive”

“Went for a Sunday breakfast and I’m so pleased did. They served us the most perfectly cooked eggs and sourdough. Great service. A perfect spot for a post Hem Heath Woods walks coffee.”

“A beautiful wedding venue with tons of character and charm - the grounds are stunning and Emma and the wedding team are all so welcoming and friendly.”

“Great place for social gatherings. Bingo every weds night. Northern Soul night on the first Friday in the month”

“This is a great venue for parties and events. Well managed and friendly staff.”

“Very helpful with listning to students and resolving any problems they can wether in person or online. Usually very quick to assist and have all the information you may need wether it be course issues, housing issues or even something small like directions for new students. Anything they can't help with they usually have the number of someone who can.”

“Excellent service. Staff very friendly and helpful.”

“Really enjoyable evening, made most welcome buy all and the gents down stairs in the bar area very friendly too.”

“Very friendly, clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast.”

“Cool place, lovely people, great music”

“Great little find, cheap and easy to access. Stayed here for 1 night while working and visiting family. Arrived late and Kevin texted me the details regarding self check-in. Clean, comfortable and the coffee is greatly appreciated. Only downside is the bathroom being so far away but considering I was there less than 12 hours I can't really argue. I will be staying here again.”

“Very nice place to stay. There isn't a play park near the cottage and the garden is very small, if you are visiting to be out the majority of the day then I would highly recommend.”

“Went for a wedding reception. Nice room. Good drink prices. Overall a very nice place.”

“Attended bridal preparations at Brookhouse and it was perfect for the occasion. The owner was very welcoming and the house had some great spaces with lots of natural light... Perfect for wedding photography”

“Stayed here with 6 of my friends for my Queen Scout Award as we was doing long hikes each day. It was so nice to come back to a clean cozy barn. The views were great the barn got nice and warm with the heater and Wifi so I could uploads my pictures. Alison was lovely too had lots of information and was nice to chat too. Great place to stay if you love the outdoors.”

“Great place for our holiday break and birthday celebrations. Super accommodation and views from the living room windows.”

“Spent a lovely week in the cow shed very large and comfy rooms well equipped brilliant place”

“Excellent place to stay for a week's break. Easy driving distance to lots of nice walks (we used the website walkiees to find routes). Service was great with friendly and can-do attitude! They were keen to emphasise that if we needed anything we only had to ask!”

“Great place. Homely and got a very warm welcome. Breakfast was top quality local sausages and bacon, a very good filling breakfast. Worth £70 a night. My husband and I definitely want to return Highly recommended”

“This is going to be a very delayed review - I did my degree here from 1983 to 1986 when the second floor hosted the Combined Science Department of North Staffs Poly where I did Physics and the Dwight Building out the back was home to Ceramic Engineering. Visually, the building hasn't changed at all but the Student Union is much less dingy now - but we can't have everything! Stoke is a big-hearted and friendly place, which also went for the staff of the Mellor Building - I hope it's the same now! I had a wonderful time here...”

“Amazing shop, the staff are very polite and helpful. Especially the manager Nikki and the Asian lady, very welcoming atmosphere and they don’t mind you asking questions I got my first vape from here 5 years ago and they have always kept me up to date with what’s new in the store”

“This was my 2nd visit to blame frida and have loved it on both occasions. The nut roast & veggie burger are definitely worth trying. Fresh ingredients, well cooked and a lovely atmosphere. Will be returning to try more from a great menu x”

“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.”

“Fantastic venue. Mark and his team very friendly and helpful lovely room for my daughter's wedding reception”
