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 different or items removed if didnt like etc. Filled us up for our day at the Park, well til lunchtime any road.

When we checked out we decided we were going to visit Chatsworth house again, just like last year. The staff recommended we try and stop off in Bakewell for the market. We didnt get chance to, but love the fact the staff offering advice about the local area to enrich our stay.

We'll be back.. again ..

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 that the girls loved! The room and ensuite were very clean as hoped (based on the reviews I had read previously before booking) and we were very happy. The breakfast was one of the best we have had - a full English that wasn't dripping in fat and didn't make you feel sick a while later! On our first night we went to the Bulls Head which was ok. I was expecting a little warmer welcome but I suppose when you have a double buggy to collapse and get in/store behind our chairs and then ask for a high chair its a big ask! The service was ok but we didn't get a menu and probably would still be there if we hadn't got up and asked for one. The food was nice but overall I wasn't as impressed as other reviews have said. Based on this experience we decided to have dinner in the theme park on our second night. Staying at the Resort hotels is probably best if the cost doesn't spiral into silly money (over half term one room was £265 per night)as you can have a meal and evening entertainment under one roof. However, the breakfast is much better at The Malthouse and with two small children is better to be served at your table rather than queue up and have the kids whinge while you're gone! On our next visit we will cetainly consider booking the Malthouse again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

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 stay a little more special! ;)

We had a minor 'run-in' with a hairdryer, but it was sorted out very quickly, so can't fault this lovely establishment on service!

We will definitely be back and would recommend this B&B highly to our friends.

Thanks!

The Malthouse is a lovely hotel located in Alton. Me and my partner stayed for two nights while visiting Alton Towers resort. We were welcomed warmly, the room was of a very high standard in terms of comfort and cleanliness and we received cooked breakfast each morning, All for a great price. Really happy with our stay and would definately stay again.
