Ideal location if visiting Alton towers, owner’s really lovely and welcoming. Breakfast isn’t as good as it used to be and the young blonde girl serving was really rude (she may just not be a morning person)

Quiet & Comfortable

Lovely quain pub for meals & drinks hosts & staff were excellent & very helpful. Restaurant & bar had a great choice & reasonably priced. Rooms were small chalet stule adjacent to the pub, comfortable with parking adjacent to the challet making it easy. Will certainly use again if in the area.
