Lovely place. Perfect for 2 people! So close to Alton Towers (5mins drive)- only downfall was the super early check out at 9am which we didnt expect and maybe the response times were a Iittle slow via the app but when we mesaged Sue directly she was super quick & very responsive. We would recommend this lovely place & stay again :)
