This establishment is run with military precision by the owner. When you book you receive an information pack and on arrival personally greeted and shown to your room. We stayed in the outbuilding which is the stable I think and the room was spotless....the building and grounds overall are very pleasant and tranquil. The breakfast was excellent with plenty on...

We certainly aim to please and love it when we get it right. Our 2 acre plot does indeed take a lot of maintainance so it's nice to know that you enjoyed the setting. We're pleased to offer a wide choice of breakfast and do our very best to cater for everyone. It appears that the village pubs were a... More

My partner and I stayed there on 3rd/4th October after visiting Alton Towers, Buxton and Pooles Cavern. I cannot recommend The Malthouse highly enough. We were treated not as paying guests but as friends staying for a couple of nights - the warmth of hospitality was lovely. We stayed in The Stables (Polo was an wonderful companion) and this block...

Polo is indeed a very well behaved pony! Some of our rooms have teddies and some have toy dogs so perhaps you'll meet another member of the team on your next visit. Take care for now. More

Emily and her partner were charming and we're glad we gave a good impression of ourselves too! Late night travelling in the countryside can be difficult and we like to ensure that our guests get "home" safely. We hope to see this lovely couple again. More

Seems this is becoming our annual trip now, Alton Towers for Scarefest :) We visited The Malthouse last year and loved it, so much so we made sure we booked early. We arrived and again were warmly welcomed and settled into our room as before. Breakfast was as good as remembered from year before, with options available if wanted something... More

There's nothing we like more than welcoming people back to The Malthouse, it was lovely to see you again. We're always delighted to stop and chat about the beautiful area we're lucky enough to live in as we want visitors to make the most of their stay. Bakewell next time perhaps - the market is on most Mondays and well... More

We stayed at The Malthouse B&B in Alton on 28/29 October with our two young daughters for a 2day break at the Alton Towers theme and waterpark. On arrival we were warmly greeted and the girls had a real fuss made which they loved. Our room was the safari theme room and had a few toy animals on the beds... More

We arrived for a two night stay for our annual pilgrimage to Scarefest at Alton Towers. Having stayed in an 'unusual' B&B the last time we came up, we were VERY pleasantly surprised when we arrived at The Malthouse. Our welcome was very friendly and informative, and we loved being greeted by the horses in the stables. They made the... More
