We stayed here for one night while visiting Alton Towers, and it was ideal. The room was very clean, and the staff were both friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the on-site restaurant, which was delicious—just what we needed after a long day. They also offer a kids’ menu, which was a great touch. Breakfast was just as enjoyable, with a well-organised buffet offering plenty of options. There’s also the option to upgrade to a hot breakfast at a very reasonable price. The room had everything we needed for a comfortable short stay.

Lovely Countryside Stay with a Few Downsides I recently stayed at the Dog and Partridge Country Inn and really enjoyed the overall experience. The location is beautiful—surrounded by greenery, peaceful, and perfect for a countryside escape. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the whole place felt safe and quiet. The food was good, though a little on the pricey side. Still, it added to the nice atmosphere. There were just a couple of downsides for me. The bed was very uncomfortable, sinking in the middle, and I left with back pain. Also, if you’re bringing your dog, there’s a £20 charge per day, which felt a bit steep. Would I go back? Absolutely yes! Just crossing my fingers for a firmer mattress next time.
