We really enjoyed our long weekend stay and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. The property was comfortable and felt safe. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was loads of storage space in most rooms which would be perfect for a longer stay. We enjoyed a day trip to Alton Towers (about 40mins drive with some traffic), a short walk intoRead more the town for lunch and a few short drives to go walking in nature. Hide
