Museum in Stoke

“Great day out for the kids. Had an activity teaching then to look and learn for a prize. Great attention to detail at the museum lots to see. Staff are nice and most of all. FREE 2 hours to kill with the kids”

“Little quirky museum with amazing staff who carry out the shows and truly engage the visitors. Despite my late arrival, I was made to feel welcomed and the attention and knowledge given by the staff to ensure that I could learn more about the steam machines and how they operated and still do was appreciated.”

“Solid local traditional pub. Well worth a visit”

“Nice rooms and great staff, couldn't be more helpful. After moving the mother-in-law into her new flat, she couldn't stay that night. So we checked her into a this Premier Inn. The 2 ladies on reception, Rosie and Hannah couldn't have been more helpful! They were great with my mother-in-law and set her mind at ease. What great customer service.”

“Fabulous rooms. Modern and clean. Food was good. Was on group booking, and was a little restricted to what we were told, but main course was tasty. Drinks as expected, but Lottie made some great suggestions and banging cocktails. Nice to see her have enthusiasm and hospitality skills to adapt to different customer needs. Well done”

“Ok so this place surpassed my expectations. I got married here 30 years ago and my city has suffered since. The hotel has changed hands a few times since and I wasn’t expecting much but it really was great. It’s a big hotel. The rooms are huge. It’s been very well redecorated throughout. 2 small complaints 1. Lift is a bit tatty. 2. Ground floor lobby is like the land that ti forgot. Otherwise it’s a yes from me”

“Another town another premier inn , this time the room ( prem + ) was massive well furnished comfortable and super clean , Leanne greeted to me and was a great example of how staff are the hotel and greeted me with a warm smile and explained everything i needed to know even went and got me some Hot Chocolate which you don’t actually get in the rooms ! Again loaned me an Apple Watch charger as I’d forgotten mine as I need it as I have an app to check blood sugar ! Perfect hotel and if Leanne is anything to go by the staff will all be wonderful too”

“Pleasant overnight stay on way to Alton Towers from Scotland. Will use this stop-over again. Despite rating of 2*, the travel lodge was staffed with helpful, polite, friendly, courteous staff who were on hand for all our questions, including local weather reports! Met all the needs for an overnight stay. Entrance, hallway, reception and room were all clean and tidy.”

“Excellent holiday home. Very comfortable surroundings and the owners are lovely too. Be aware, the track to the farm is unpaved for quite a way, and a standard car may hit the road in places if not taken at a very slow pace?”

“The hosts were amazing and our stay was really enjoyable, its a good location and the house was really nice. I would definitely recommend this house ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Neat, clean, tidy. Really enjoyable stay”

“Incredible service. I broke down and managed to get my car into the car park at this hotel. Dylan was working the night shift on reception and was so helpful. He was very helpful in getting me any help needed and when I eventually needed to book a room he got this sorted for me very quickly and even accommodated really well for my dog. Then when checking out in the morning, the lady on reception was also incredibly helpful, friendly and accommodating, especially for my dog once again. I just wanted to say thank you so much for being so kind and helpful when I was in a tight spot. The best experience I could have from the loveliest staff.”

“Stayed here last weekend in a family room. 2 adults 2 children. Had booked another hotel up the road that turned out to be a nightmare. Arrived at the hotel, plenty of room to park, yes it is on street but lots of space. Door was closed when we arrived didn't find this a problem, lady who was working reception answered really quickly and welcomed us in. Check in was smooth and easy. The receptionist was amazing, made us feel at home. (Wish I knew her name but she has red hair) hotel felt really secure, door closed most of the time to stop just anyone walking in off the street. The stair way upto room was very clean, there is a patch of damage to the decor on the way up but really not a problem and probably to be expected in a building of such age. Landing corridor to room all really beautiful with some lots of character, (chandelier, balcony) room was really nice, so clean so big for a family of 4. No issue in room with any facilities or cleanliness. Staff happy to help and really couldn't be nicer. Location is brilliant too, nice restaurant across the road, local shops near by and water park and money forest just a few mins away. Overall had a really nice time staying here and would definitely stay again. Thank you”

“AMAZING!! I booked The old Parlour and Cow Shed to come with some of my closest friends to celebrate my 40th Birthday. The barns are beautiful and they have thought of all the tiny details. The bath house toiletries in particular smell incredible! They provided milk, tea and coffee to get us started as well as bath robes. We chose to add a booking on with Georgie and Co who came to the barns to provide us all with treatments.It was the best massage I’ve had in quite some time! I would highly recommend booking if you want to add some relaxation to your stay. I can’t wait to visit again! x”

“Our stay was delightful. We had a fantastic time in Buxton. The location of the guesthouse was excellent, easily walkable to everywhere and across from a gorgeous park. Very peaceful. The breakfast was delicious, with a great selection and freshly prepared. The service was smooth and professional, all the staff were so efficient and friendly. The room was large and comfortable, very clean with good beds.”

“We stayed in our motorhome for two nights. Lovely, peaceful site, good facilities, especially for a CL site. Very helpful owner. About 5 miles easy drive to Malpas with shops and pubs. Easy access into the site for our 8m motorhome. Thoroughly recommended.”

“I visited the Arndale Heritage Centre today with my son and it honestly warmed my heart. Barrie and team have built this place from scratch and filled it with so many fascinating things from fossils to old mining history. But what made it really special was Barrie himself. He took so much time with my little boy, explaining each fossil and piece of mining equipment with such care and enthusiasm. Watching my sons eyes light up as he listened was a moment I’ll always remember — and it meant a lot to me too. It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely passionate, kind and generous with their time. People like Barrie are what makes the world go round, and the centre is a true reflection of the love and effort he’s put into it. We feel honoured to have met him today, and we’ll definitely be back.”

“We have just returned from a weekend in Norfolk with Andy, our driver from Hollinshead. He couldn’t have worked harder to make sure everyone was alright and went over and beyond the call of duty. He was kind and very helpful and made time to talk to us all. His driving skills were excellent. So thank you Andy for your care and we look forward to being with you again.”

“This is my favourite hotel I stayed at in a while, mainly due to the design of the rooms. All was very clean, the bar downstairs offers delicious food and drinks and you are one minute away from high street.”

“Really interesting and informative visit, our guides took us through all the stages and processes involved with making this extraordinary pottery. Practical demonstrations were arranged at each important stage of the production. There is a museum and a well stocked shop. Great! Advice for other local visits given. Thanks”

“The Dudson centre is one of those "all welcomed and all welcoming" places- Love it”

“Great virtual tour for less able visitors, excellent guide who was a mine of information about this early example of factories and continuous processes. Good catering and well worth a visit”
