Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Very Victorian kind of hotel, loved the look inside. We stayed there for 2 nights. Very peaceful location, top notch service, rooms spotlessly clean and very good breakfast. 10mins off the M6. Would definitely return and highly recommended.

We were staying nearby and thought we would drop in for a local draught beer. We were welcomed by good bar staff, with two local beers hand pulled. There was a log fire on and was a traditional pub. In the best sense. Food was being served and I think your need a good appetite as the portions seemed large to me. There is no garden to sit on but a very nice wooden structure outside was in the full sun. Recommended. Oh, whilst we were there folk who had booked rooms came and said they had been a while back and loved it so thought they would come back. I think that's a good sign.

The building is very nice fire lit to create a nice atmosphere. The food was very good and different curry pie with mash and veg was my choice. The only downside was the waitress seemed to be run off her feet. I would vist again
