Pet friendly hotel in Stoke

“THIS REVIEW APPLIES TO THE RESTAURANT ONLY. A new Indian restaurant has restaurant has recently opened at Cottons which is in the centre of village. Beautiful food which can be modified to suit your tastes, good bar, new restaurant and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Does a take out service. Great value for money.”

“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.”

“We didn't have a room, we drove there for afternoon tea, and although they do not do afternoon tea, we were served by wonderful staff, who accommodated us just for the tea we had. BUT they even went the extra mile by offering to cook us something. There are tepees and an outdoor ceremony space. So much to enjoy, in a place we found by accident and needed a coffee. Would honestly highly recommend this venue for what ever event you have coming up.”

“The best and most relaxing break I've had. Our hosts thought of everything to make things easy, from the brew stuff already on site to the hot tub being ready as soon as we got there. A quiet and peaceful setting, far enough away from the hustle and bustle but not too far away.”

“Lovely staff, lovely rooms, not super modern, but have everything. Stairs are a bit dated, but it totally suits the building, superbly clean. We would definitely stay here again, especially for the price. Ample car free parking. If you're a train enthusiast, this is a must! It's opposite the train station. We visited Stoke on Trent and Nantwich, and both 20 minutes drive away. There were many more places about it, but we only stayed 2 days. Near Tesco express, macdonalds and loads of food delivery places.”

“Brilliant location. Right in the centre of Buxton which is a short walk to get too. The hotel is on a hill and may be too steep for those with mobility issues. There is plenty of parking which cost £5 for 24hr. The hotel is very large but very clean. We didn't see dust, marks ect. Check in was friendly and easy. The staff are so warm and welcoming. The lobby is very large and grand and plenty of seating. The building is very old, however the decor and furniture is not. The price of a night stay with half board was excellent. Couldn't fault the hotel. The location is excellent. Just note the hotel is on hill.”

“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.”

“The crown is under new management. They are working really hard to bring it back to its former glory. All the staff are lovely and the hotel has become a very nice place to stay. It's the perfect location for visiting the town with its many independent cafes and shops.”

“Had a great stay here. Room was very spacious indeed. Great value for money. No tea or coffee in room, not an issue as they had it availible free downstairs. Also no food served here but lots of places near by that do. My shower did not work but the friendly guy at reception fixed this within 10 minutes by changing the shower head.”

“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”

“We had a wonderful experience at Wheeldon Trees Cottages. We stayed for 2 nights at Elliott Cottage. It was a good size for 4 people - the living area, bathroom, and kitchen was spacious but the rooms were a little tight. We received a lovely welcome basket and the owners had fantastic attention to detail, leaving headtorches for night walks, maps of nearby walking trails, and an honesty shop stocked with essentials. I would highly recommend staying here if you want a quiet getaway with lovely scenery but I would be careful on the drive up as being so remote, the roads are a little tricky to navigate.”

“We used an EHUP hard standing pitch. You don’t need to ask for a quiet location as the whole site was beautifully quiet, relaxed and had families staying too. The facilities were certainly 5 star, the extras such as pizza and ice cream were a good value welcome treat! The showers and toilets were spotless - we would love to return. Rose and Philip were exceptional hosts, friendly yet not hovering over you!”

“Gorgeous little quiet, well laid out site. Great showers and washing up facilities. Large dog walking area. Lovely views across the Cheshire plains. We will definitely be returning xxxx”

“Hosts were very warming upon arrival. Check in was fast, room spotless, spacious and had a good nights sleep. Breakfast was tasty, with a choice of cereal, toast and yogurt before the full English! Overall very pleased and would definitely stay again. Thank you!”

“Spent a superb long weekend here, the cottages were cosy, clean and very well stocked in games and puzzles with full amenities for home cooked meals. Beautiful location with easy access for great hiking trails. Would definitely recommend!!”

“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”

“The passion of the host was perfect and we loved the conversation and the time she made just to talk to us. Everything was picture perfect. We thought the rooms were a bit expensive, but considering everything it was worth it. The views were stunning.”

“Amazing little guest house. Room was very clean complimentary shower gel and shampoo was a nice little suprise. Room was very well equipped with hair dryer ironing board and good wifi connection. Perfect location for exploring ilam park and Thorpe Cloud and the Roaches. Also near Haddon Hall Chatsworth House and Bakewell just a short 30 min drive away. Hosts were lovely and breakfast was amazing. I am a celiac and they were more than happy to cater for me. Leek itself is a lovely little market town with plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and pubs and nice independent shops which was very refreshing. Would definately recommend and would stay again.”

“We stayed at the Lamb Guest Inn as part of a wedding party. It was my husband, one year old daughter, and I. The hosts were more than genuine and accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we not only had everything us adults needed, but our daughter as well. They provided a pack n’ play for her to sleep in, a high chair at breakfast, and even provided special lacto free milk for her. Everything was clean and immaculate. The breakfast was homemade to order. Some of the best food we had during our whole stay in London. The location is an easy, safe walk to all the downtown bars, restaurants, supermarket, etc. It honestly felt like we were at my grandparents house the way they took care of us. I would definitely highly recommend and look forward to hopefully staying here again.”

“A lovely place to stay so quiet. The fresh milk and rockie road was a lovely touch. Not far from Chester, the zoo . We stayed in the corn store cottage. The family was extremely friendly. It was just my daughter and myself and we would happily go again”

“Great place to stay. Highly recommended. We stayed there as a family of 4 during our visit to the Alton Towers. We stayed in the chalet, which is a great choice for families. Lovely, very helpful owners. Delicious breakfast served into our chalet. Children have the option to get pancakes. Will definitely come back if visiting the area again.”

“We stayed here on a fully serviced pitch in our own tourer. Such beautiful site in lovely surroundings, so well kept and with luxury shower, toilet and washing facilities. The little shop has a few essentials to keep you going. It also has firepits to hire so you can spend a cozy evening around the fire. The owners are so helpful, kind and friendly. Its a short walk to Hulme end where you will find a lovely country pub (The Manifold) which serves lovely food and drinks. This was our 2nd stay and we will definitely be back again.”

“We last visited 25 years ago and it was like visiting an old friend. The house is lovely and quiet and the grounds gorgeous. Everyone was helpful and nothing was a bother. Hopefully won't be another 25 years.”

“It was a wild and windy night. Fabulous welcome entering the pub with 2 fires burning and excellent staff. The food offered was a good mix of traditional fare with some modern twists. Everything was homemade and tasty. Because of this, it is not a hurried experience. So enjoy.”

“Lovely welcome. Spent 2 nights there as a gift. Lovely friendly staff. Beautiful rooms. Fabulous food ...probably some of the best we have had, both set lunch and breakfasts. The lovely Hodnet Hall just across the road...do not pass that by and the beautiful village church. Would def return to the Bear Inn and recommend to others and I can't say that about many places for food tbh or accommodation in the Midlands. Alison and Sandra particularly lovely at breakfasts and hats off to all the team members behind the scenes... excellent!”

“Great B&B with lots of heart! Very friendly owners, and so cosy to stay here in this piece of history. Make sure you go for their Derbyshire Full English breakfast”

“A beautiful place to stay with a host in Simon who makes the experience of staying even better. The location is perfect for visits to Stoke on Trent and there are a host of great local pubs to eat at within 20 minutes. Breakfast was ideal and would recommend the oatcakes! Would love to stay again.”

“We had a reunion night which was brilliant Landlord and staff so pleasant and helpful Good food well done we will be back cheers”
