Gather around the table for four to reminisce about the day's adventures as you tuck into your dinner.

Unfortunately, the drive down the track to the property is awful. 1st gear all the way and don't take a low car, you will scrape the bottom, this is explained on the booking. The property is a really high standard, exceptionally clean and well looked after. The kitchen has most things that you would need if you were to cook for yourselves however, take note that there is a fantastic pub a 5 minutes drive away called 'THE TOP PUB'. They do fantastic food, are very welcoming, and the main meals are so filling we never got to sample the desserts! Anyway, back to the review.... the downstairs shower room is very nice, the shower is really powerful, and the upstairs bath is very nice indeed. And proper bath sheets! Not a bath towel which is always a plus in my book! For us, the bed was only a double, ( plenty of room to upgrade to a king size) so we never felt very rested in the morning, Although the bedroom is nice and dark when you pull the blinds down, and so quiet. You are lucky if you hear a pin drop. The same goes for the settee's, they weren't very comfortable for us, either. I spent most of the time on the bean bags, one on top of the other. But don't be put off by these 2 minor things. You are centrally located if you want to have a tour round. And if you go out on the train, catch it at Stoke on Trent, but park at 'The West Car Park'. its a five minute walk to the station and the cheapest option. All in all its a lovely place to stay. You will enjoy it.

Spotless, comfortable and well equipped. Rooms are a good size, except for the bathrooms which are minimalist, but adequate, with high quality fittings. Dominic and Elaine are welcoming hosts and there is a lot to see and do locally in the Potteries.
