comfortable room near alton towers
family visit friendly staff excellent food
this hotel is near alton towers. we visited for a couple of days. i stayed here with family. food is very good and excellent. every member of staff was very friendly. i will come back.
i did not realize this was a dog friendly hotel. i could smell dog immediately when we entered our room. i think certain rooms should be used for dogs. other rooms should be for those without pets.

a mixed experience
missing breakfast noises
the staff were friendly (that's something, i guess).
I booked a beautiful room, but it did not feel luxurious. slight noises were easily heard as the room seemed to be situated between private or rented rooms on either side. Breakfast was an additional £12 per person.
