The garden is gorgeous too. We will be... More

The location was perfect as It was only a couple of minutes away so it was ideal for my colleagues and I. Every room in the B&B was booked up by us, each... More

Me and my family have stayed here twice, in the past two years on visiting Alton Towers theme park, and its fair to say we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. A two minute walk to the theme park is also a plus! Carol and Terry were welcoming, and made our stay more enjoyable. They provided us with... More

We stayed 1 night on 23/7/12, we got to the B&B at roughly 8:30 in the morning even though we knew... More

This time, however, we needed to book for four, so a room and the small cottage - the Swallow's Nest - were booked. Terry and Carol, the owners, seemed to recognise us from the booking and greeted us very warmly on arrival.... More
