“Great short break. Plenty for family to do and close to Alton towers where we were visiting.”
+Very spacious. Nice to have own outside sitting area. Plenty arrival goods to keep you going- tea, coffee, loo roll… Very handy for the pub. Pool and games room ideal. Very clean.

“Amazing stay, we will be back thank you so much”
+Easy of checking in and out
−Nothing at all. If I had to bit nit picky maybe the lack of hooks in the rooms for towels and the hard beds but did not affect our stay at all, a few of our guests just commented on the beds too.

“Very good facilities and a nice selection of cottages , quiet location .”
+Good variety of activities on site
−It’s a bit impersonal to arrive ( Friday 4.30 Pm ) without anyone to greet / welcome you , ask if you have any questions etc . Just picked up the key from lock box and moved in .

“Very comfortable stay”
+Beds and pillows extremely comfortable, sofas in lounge also very comfortable and enough to accommodate all 8 of us comfortably which was nice in the evenings.
−Only slight disappointment was the shower pressure which was very low, but not enough of an issue to spoil the stay and did not outweigh all the other many positives.

“A nice location and feel with a local pub that is not bad. But we wouldnt stay here again. Unless they sorted out the”
+We stayed in the middleton block. It is a lovely little place with a cosy feel to it. A nice pub opposite with a good menu. The swimming pool was a good size for our young kids to play which was also clean and warm.
−The sound proofing is of a poor standard, we could hear absolutely everything from the outside road traffic flying past to the next door blocks conversations The beds and pillows are rock solid. The showers have zero to no pressure. The velux black out blind did not shut properly not blocking out the light. The other bedroom blinds did not shut out the light as poorly fitted. Meaning as soon as the sun came out, the room was very bright. The bedrooms in my opinion are round the wrong way. The two twin beds which are a small size, were in the large bedroom and the double bed was in the small room making moving around and wardrobe space minimal. The games room area was a nice little touch but the table tennis table was damaged and you was being charged £1 to play either pool or the football table.
