8/10 Very good

The room was quite big although it was pretty cold at the beginning. I wish why the heater wasn’t on in,at least, low temperature.
Sergio, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is very good and the staff are all really friendly. The hotel rooms are very dated though with the bottom of our door frame falling off on arrival, pillows that were extremely flat, a storage heater for hot water that didn’t provide enough hot water for one quick shower and a bath, and just generally furniture and fittings that looked tired and dated. The amenities like tea and coffee were provided in the room but it did feel like the bare minimum. The wifi was also basically non functioning, which made spending any time in the room difficult. It is fine if you want to use the room to sleep in between Alton towers visits, but otherwise it isn’t a great hotel room environment.

Excellent Location for Alton Tower

We stayed there for our Alton Tower trip. The room we stayed was like a motel style which was great for loading/unloading bags. The facility was old but house keeping was very good and members of staffs were very friendly and helpful. 10-15min by car from Alton Tower was great. If we go back to Alton Tower, we will stay here again.

I enjoyed the natural view of the environment. The children had lot of fun. A good recommendation for large family.

8/10 Very good

The cabin was good for our requirements. Not very attractive outside but a good size and clean. The pub is very popular.. Good for families and lovely food. The continental breakfast was excellent with so much choice it would put many 4* hotels to shame. The owner is very friendly, helpful and wants you to enjoy your stay. A lovely pub.
Ann, 1-night trip

Would recommend

Great location near Peak District National Park. Very dog friendly. Good pub food, with wide vegetarian selection. Accommodation is in rooms that are a few metres away from the pub. I think quite recently refurbished, they were fine. Liked that the room had a bath, after a long day of walking. Friendly staff.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely Countryside Stay with a Few Downsides I recently stayed at the Dog and Partridge Country Inn and really enjoyed the overall experience. The location is beautiful—surrounded by greenery, peaceful, and perfect for a countryside escape. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the whole place felt safe and quiet. The food was good, though a little on the pricey side. Still, it added to the nice atmosphere. There were just a couple of downsides for me. The bed was very uncomfortable, sinking in the middle, and I left with back pain. Also, if you’re bringing your dog, there’s a £20 charge per day, which felt a bit steep. Would I go back? Absolutely yes! Just crossing my fingers for a firmer mattress next time.
Marco, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Asked to change date as couldn’t make it due to car problems was broken down with no means of getting there, considering this is a family run hotel and it was my partners 40th birthday you would think as a good will gesture they would of give me a change of date option but they just give me a curfew of getting there for 11pm or don’t bother coming and took my money very poor service.
Marie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Booked for overnight whilst visiting Alton Towers, so arrived around 9pm. Family room has good layout but first thing that hit us was smell of damp. Not sure how long since bedding had been changed on bunk bed as found a finger nail clipping under the quilt on the sheet. Glasses were dusty, old water in kettle and what looked like blood on bedside table (but think was possibly make up when we wiped it up). Walls stained, bathroom grime and toilet pan dirty. Had it not been after 9pm, would have left room there and then. One redeeming point was continental breakfast was fine and varied, if not a little bit odd.

Lovely hotel near Alton Towers

We stayed here as a family of 4 through Tesco clubcard the night before going to Alton Towers. We travelled for about 3 hours and didn't arrive til 9.30pm (we'd phoned ahead to say we were arriving late) and were greeted warmly with everything we needed to know explained to us. The chalets are behind the restaurant, it was a large room with a double bed and a bunk bed, there was a radiator that heated up quick, a decent kettle with tea, coffee, milk and sugar. The bathroom was clean with towels and a nice hot powerful shower. The only downside was we found the pillows really hard and uncomfortable. There is a communal playpark for the chalets which is lovely but unfortunately it had rained so the children didn't use it. The continental breakfast was lovely, it was a buffet with everything you could want on there, the kids loved it, at least 6 different types of cereals, little individual bowls with chopped berries in, toast to order, cookies, shortbread, flapjack, yoghurts, cheese, meats, kids cereal bars, we all had a really good feed! Fresh juices/tea and coffee to order, all included. The staff were really friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

A lovely stay, very close to Alton Towers

A lovely stay, very close to Alton Towers. The staff were lovely & the continental breakfast varied & suited us well. The rooms are separate "chalets" with allocated parking spaces next to each front door. We were concerned that staying in a pub may be noisy, but had a very peaceful night's sleep! The beds were very comfy & the family room spacious enough for 2 adults & 2 teenage kids (as long as they are happy in bunk beds!) The rooms are very dated & could do with a freshen up. They could also do with a really thorough clean, the corners etc. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay.
