Stayed here for one night and if I'm in the Stafford area in the future, would have no hesitation in staying here again. Food was well above average and some good local ales on at the bar too. Maybe a couple more choices of cereals/juices at breakfast would be good and perhaps some of the available fruit could be made... More

We stayed here in June 2011 for one night to break our journey between Scotland and Wiltshire. One can leave the M6 at junction 13 and rejoin it at junction 12 or vice versa. Although the hotel was on a main road, our room at the back was very quiet indeed. The room was well appointed and spotlessly clean as... More

Stayed one night, room OK, bit stuffy, slightly tired furniture, bed very close to walls, but it is an old coach house. However, was woken at 6AM on the Saturday morning by the noise of the class recycling lorry emptying all the glass into the lorry. Not a good start, breakfast was good, the staff were very friendly, but would... More

The starters were good (bread and olives etc) but out of a group of 10 only 3 people enjoyed their mains (they had Bombay Chicken, steak, and Hamburger). As reported elsewhere, the Ravioli is not good (4 undercooked and tasteless ravioli... More

We stayed here over the bank holiday as it was near the venue for a friend's wedding and had been suggested as a place to stay. For the price (£65 a night for bed and breakfast in a king size deluxe room) the accommodation was very good. The bedroom and bathroom were both absolutely huge, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean.... More

we arrived at the pub to a friendly smile at the bar and showed to our table by a polite waitress. After looking at the tempting range of food on the menu ,i plumped for the chicken with sauteed gnocchi. To cut it short the chicken was overcooked and dry the gnocchi was burnt and inedible and the assortment of... More
