Pros:

It was the ideal place to stay for our weekend away and Margaret and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. A very cozy place with open fires and 500 years of history. Considering it is only a 15 minute drive from Alton Towers is is certainly worth a vist

Idéalement situé pour le parc d'attraction, mais trop cher pour ce que c'est!
Pros:

L'emplacement du logement, proche du parc Alton Towers.

Cons:

Literie inconfortable (on sent tous les ressorts), porte d'entrée du logement qui ne frotte et ferme à peine (sentiment d'insécurité pour nos affaires). La chasse d'eau qui ne fonctionne pas. Impossible de régler la température de l'eau de la douche (le réglage était bloqué). La déco très vieillotte comme la moquette.
