Outdoors in Stafford

“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).”

“It's a lovely old building with a rustic feel, not at all too serious. Most floors and stairs are very creaky, not sure that any pair of walls are at a proper angle, but far from a criticism it shows how origonal the place is and adds a lot of charm. All staff I've met have been amazing. Food is great. Will certanly look up this place every time i'm ever in Stafford overnight.”

“The pizzas are hands down the best in town. The crust is perfectly cooked, the sauce is tangy and rich, and the cheese is melted to perfection.”

“First time visitors… fabulous food, terrific atmosphere and Nina’s table service and general hospitality was top-drawer ❤️”

“Myself & friend visited your store today 27/10/ 2025. Both of us on mobility scooters. I purchase a storage unit which was too big to fit on either scooters. Two of your staff patiently separated the boxes & made sure we were safe. They were so kind. & friendly. I am so grateful. You are lucky to have such good staff.”

“Excellent venue and the staff are superb - our daughter loves going to Footsteps.”

“Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a fantastic experience at this Indian restaurant! The modern décor immediately sets a stylish and welcoming tone. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. We tried the lunch set menu and were very impressed — there was a great selection of dishes to choose from, and everything was beautifully presented. Each dish was full of authentic flavor and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely lunch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious Indian cuisine in a contemporary setting.”

“Excellent, as always. Travelodge have improved their booking options, and for me the ability to choose a room in advance really makes things easy (I travel a lot by bike, so I like a ground floor room close to reception.) Clean, pleasant, quiet. Everything you need, and conveniently located for everything else.”

“We order from slices quite often, and food is always good. Tonight, we ordered our food, and waited for our taxi home. Our taxi was late, which meant we was late getting back home in time for the delivery. The lad rang me, and waited 6 minutes for us to turn up. He was super polite and very understanding. Food was also still hot, which was very good. Recommended!”

“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.”

“Lovely little boozer. Absolutely what a pub should be. Decent price for a pint and busy due to that.”

“I stayed in the Eagle's Nest apartment while workng for a week in Stafford, only 15-20 minutes away. Helen and Andy have curated a wonderful old building into a delightful combination of B&B plus the flat. I had a warm welcome (the B&B bit - so much better than a code and a lockbox) with the offer of a complementary home made flapjack on my arrival. I was shown up to the flat and around it, so that all thereafter was simple. Helen is enthusiastic about the house and its history and was a great host - the welcoming bowl of fruit and biscuits is always a nice touch. Plenty to do in and around Eccleshall and Helen showed me to a 5K into the countryside from the house that I did a couple of times. Pubs and food in Eccleshall. Give it a go.”

“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.”

“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”

“Hands down the best place we’ve ever been too ! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was amazing and the staff made us feel so welcome. The food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were amazing, never seen nothing like it we had such a good time ( who ever comes up with these ideas is amazing) The atmosphere was unreal, such a fun and lively place with great music(including Xmas music) You could really tell they care about giving people a great experience, when wr came for our booking it was really busy but the staff handled it perfectly. Honestly, this is the best place we’ve been for a while in stone, and it completely exceeded our expectations. We’re already planning our next visit couldn’t recommend it enough! Next time I think we’re going to book for bottomless brunch! Thanks guys, merry Christmas”

“Quaint little pub on the top of a hill, only a little hill but still a hill. Had a cosy log fire, the beer was great and the dog seemed to approve so all good from us”

“Great value and location for our exhibition weekend. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Highly recommended.”

“Been several times and excellent food every time. The lambs liver was full of flavour and moist, staff are always very friendly. But always gets very busy so booking recommended”

“Great food and lovely country pub, had a delicious steak and ale pie followed by a brilliant apple and raspberry crumble with custard ! Very tasty food and good value portions.”

“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”

“Summary: PERFECT! Detail: Where does one start? The purchase process was perfect, Franklin knows his stuff and made the whole buying process perfect - assisting with any questions, especially around ground preparation etc. The delivery... well. Unfortunately Franklin had issues with his journey to our address which were resolved, just slightly delayed. However we didn't appreciate how big the hot tub was so it was never going to fit through our gate. Franklin didn't give up and with the help of some village folk we had the hot tub strapped to a farm vehicle and lifted it over the fence into the back garden. Franklin oversaw the whole operation. Once in the back garden the tub was up and running very quickly and between the 2 of them they had everything installed, demonstrated clearly and packaged up. The whole process and the hot tub is perfect. Many thanks Franklin and team”

“We had our football Christmas meal at the New Inn at the beginning of December, the food was fantastic as always, staff we helpful and friendly, we pre-ordered as there were 15 of us and we weren't disappointed, definitely would recommend the sharing platter, a great evening with delicious food - many thanks ☺️”

“We wish we had a place like this nearer to us! We thoroughly enjoyed the food, and had such lovely service. Highly recommend!”

“No parking onsite but there is a car park in the pub next door and a large car park 30 seconds down the road, waited around 5 mins for someone to get our reservation and seat us( this was a Saturday night and busy), after we were seated the service was excellent, lots of drinks to chose from especially whiskey and whiskey flights. The food was too good for words perfectly smoked and seasoned tasted amazing I would highly recommend. Portion sizes were decent too.”

“Lovely little social club with plenty of friendly locals and a nice clean crisp pint. Social club available for hire, and a beer garden with Plenty of parking.”
