Castles in Staffordshire

"Need bigger breakfast plates "

"Basic. A challenge to change my booking (with the gentleman on reception particularly unhelpful…. On more than one occasion!) Sadly no incentive to stay again."

"I booked a superior room for 2 nights with my wife. We arrived about 2.30pm and the room wasn’t ready. There was some confusion from the front desk about our later dinner reservation, the receptionist stated I didn’t have a booking and despite my assertions she didn’t really seem to believe that I had booked it months ago. She said it wasn’t recorded. She only relented when I showed her their messages to me confirming the booking. Anyway, awaiting the room we went to the bar. The staff in the bar were lovely and it was well priced for a hotel, the actual bar was a little cold. When we got into the room, I can’t say it was ‘superior’. It was a little small, cold and not well lit. There was no safe nor minibar/fridge something I would have expected for £162 per night. When I raised this at reception it wasn’t well received, the lady was polite and they did put in a room heater. Evening meal was lovely and again the staff in the bar, where we ate, were lovely and provided a great service. Breakfast on the first morning was a buffet affair and in the main was well cooked. On the second morning breakfast wasn’t as good, my wife had Eggs Benedict but the poached eggs were hard (as were mine) and the Hollandaise sauce was split, we never got the requested toast- poor show chef! The actual grounds at the hotel were beautiful and lovely to walk around the lake and close by canal. Altogether it was a nice stay but not as good as I’d expected. "

"We have just had a two-night stay here over the Bank Holiday weekend and couldn't fault it. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Our dog-friendly room was thoughtfully situated at the end of a corridor in a quiet area and was spacious and very clean. Bed was comfy and breakfast choices plentiful. No problem parking either - always seemed to be plenty of spaces. Suited us very well for our short stay."

"Clean and comfortable room "

"Spacious rooms in a gorgeous location. Clean rooms with all amenities needed, and great staff. Only point of improvement would be the Internet connection and temperature regulation."
