Excellent service. Nothing was too kuch trouble for the team. The breakfast was plentiful and the choice of beverages at the bar, vast. Within a 25min drive of Alton Towers, so it was ideal for our visit. Would book again with a second thought if in the area.

The floorboards in our room were very creaky, our son was on a put up bed and every time he moved the floorboards creaked. So therefore we didn’t sleep very well.
