They've Thought Of Everything
Rooms at the facility are clean and the décor is attractive. Rooms are clean, quaint, and modern. The area parking can be tricky, but off-road parking is available in a private car park especially for the guesthouse visitors. They've literally thought of everything!

Breakfast With A Homemade Touch
The owners add their own personal touch to the place and it works! They cook the breakfast themselves with local produce, and their homemade shortbread is not to be missed! Don't be surprised if you order an evening meal and the proprietor sets a nice table with warm plates. It's these little touches that make the experience of staying at the facility extra special!

On The Doorstep Of Alton Towers
If your reason for staying at the guesthouse is to visit Alton Towers, you will be just about as close as you can get. The facility is super convenient. It's literally on the door step of the theme park.

Make The Walls Thicker
The walls could be better insulated as you can hear other visitors talking, walking around, even snoring.
negative:
Spotty Wi-Fi
Though it's not uncommon for public accommodations, the Wi-Fi is not up to standard at the facility. If you need to check your email every half-hour or you are a great Instagram fan, you may be disappointed.

Walk On The Wild Side
The nearest pub is roughly under one mile; however, it's not a good idea to walk there as there are no pathways and the road is quite busy so its unsafe to walk.
