We started this venture after our kids flew the nest, and in their honour, each room is named after the capital city that they've each ended up closest to - Paris, London and New York. Our newest room "Les Arcs" pays homage to the place we've skied at for the last 25 years. New York is the ONLY room that's not en-suite. It has its own private, lockable bathroom, which only guests from New York have access to. There are also fluffy bathrobes to get you the 5 steps it takes to walk there. But we know this may not suit everyone (and Booking dot com uses AI to create descriptions and won't amend it to make it clearer) There’s beer and prosecco awaiting you, to wind down with following the inevitable fun on the M6, along with plenty of snacks, tea and coffee. And if you want breakfast, there’s croissants, sourdough breads, muffins and crumpets, lemon curd, jam and peanut butter, and Staffordshire oatcakes, all home made, as well as tasty cooked options from our menu. Gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan bread and oatcakes can be requested but please notify us in advance as everything is prepared fresh. And finally, our family room sleep two adults and two children officially, HOWEVER as a family of five ourselves, we are all too aware of the costly implications of that third child, when it comes to hotels! Therefore, as long as you're don't mind muddling in together, and let me know in advance, we're happy for the room to be occupied by five.

We're about 5 minutes from the M6, Junction 16, and equidistant from Manchester and Birmingham. Trentham Gardens, the Monkey Forest and Waterworld are a short drive away, as well as hands-on museums in the Potteries and the Emma Bridgewater Factory shop and painting cafe.
