The location was great for us, wanting to visit Alton Towers. Also locally there was a large Tesco store and filling station just across the road and a McDonalds within the hotel parking area. The Hotel is part of a Hungry Horse pub, so there was also a place to have breakfast (which we had included) or an evening meal. The food was excellent .The room was comfortable and the staff were always friendly and helpful.

Very little to dislike. There was no air conditioning in the room but we had a desktop fan which helped us to sleep. There were no usb charging points, or sockets by the bed. This did not bother us as there were enough sockets near the tv to charge our appliances. Also not healthy to charge near your head anyway. The shower was a fixed head but worked satisfactorily. These very minor observations are the only reason it doesn’t get a 10/10

Location was ideal for what we were looking for - a trip to Alton Towers & also to Birmingham. Staff were helpful & pleasant.

On the Thursday night we chose to eat in the restaurant. The food was great, but the bar was very rowdy. There was no separation wall between restaurant & bar. We were dining with young kids & we are sorry to report that there was quite a bit of swearing & bad language being used. This was to the point where our daughter was feeling quite scared & frightened by it. We spoke to a member of the waiting staff about it. It died down for 5 minutes, but then returned to the same volume & velocity as before.

First time to book here, and the hotel is close to all amenities, and 5 minutes drive to the hall where I had a meeting. Macdonald is just opposite the hotel. Tesco & Aldi just across the road. They are in a chain with Hungry horse where you can just order food/room service ❤️ The lovely receptionist, Rebecca was very welcoming all throughout the checkin process. Thanks Becky! You made us feel home. The staff at the bar were lovely, although it was a busy Saturday night, they still managed to facilitate us with hot sweet potato chips and tender chicken fillets. Excellent service to all Staff & the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back❤️🙏

No comments at all

24 hour front desk/ night porter - easy check in. Very comfortable bedroom. Noon check out at weekends. Very engaging & helpful staff. Great variety of choices on the breakfast menus, and I believe you can request bespoke options Free hot drink refills!

The adjoining room was noisy, people having weekend fun I assumed.i was exhausted so luckily sleep came quickly. Premises could use an update in places, but it's exceptionally clean .

This is the 2nd time I have stayed here so knew what to expect. A basic but clean room, attached to pub with decent breakfast offering (or McDonalds across the carpark if that's more your thing). Good shower, decent size tv. Tesco supermarket across the road. We were the furthest room from reception so the wifi wasn't brilliant but staff came and resolved this for us.

Shower rail was held up with some parcel tape so that could have been better but it stayed up for the duration of our stay 😂

The value for money as it included breakfast. Ideal location for what we needed

The breakfast wasn't what we remembered from the past. We like to help ourselves as we have eating disorders amongst us we personally felt what was on offer very limited. The cooked breakfast needed cooking which is fine but it was really small as we didn't eat everything on the set menu but cooled breakfast is a treat so when staying over that's what we look forward to. My breakfast in particular was very small.

Needed a nights accommodation after a day visiting the close by Foxfield Railway. We didn't expect much from this place but were very pleasantly surprised by how good it was for such a low price. Decent twin room with own bathroom, bath/shower. In room drink making facilities. Plant based breakfast option was excellent and included. Also had evening meal there also very good.

Location wasn't great, we walked to it which was fine for us but probably designed for passing road traffic.

The food was lovely, the price was great value for the food and drinks available ( some choices were out of stock or off the menu that day which was disappointing. But didn't stop us from enjoying our food or drinks. Breakfast was lovely The room was nice and clean ( needs a bit of tlc like skirting boards painted and the bathroom re-grouted) but the bed and pillows were very comfy and warm room

The windows aren't double glazed so come 5.30am we could hear the delivery men unloading and shouting the you can hear everyone going for breakfast or leaving early. Some food choices weren't available or drinks too Room needs tlc especially in bathroom But I'd still come back but with ear plugs

The Staff! Brett, Nicola, Ava, Becky and Lewis were just incredible, their kindness and hospitality was just stunning, they were the heartbeat of the venue and stay for us, they all created an amazing atmosphere that made our stay special and a memorable one, hats off to the staff I've mentioned, they deserve reward and recognition from Greene King and the Weathervane Manager for the sterling work that they do! Thank you all so much for the love you showed us, Ali & Karl

The northern weather! It just poured and poured with rain with hailstones as well! 😒

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The meals were amazing, and the room was lovely, clean, and featured a comfy bed. The staff were exceptional - I particularly appreciated the helpfulness and politeness of a certain staff member whose name I wish I could remember. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, with a local touch that added to the charm. A special mention to the housekeeping team for the sweet gesture of tucking my teddy bear into the bed covers! Overall, I highly recommend this hotel, especially for those visiting Alton Towers. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The bathroom, while very clean, could benefit from some updates.
