Great location for exploring the area and visiting Alton Towers. We loved seeing the Donkeys, goats & pony everyday. Owners were really friendly and accessible if needed. Lots of really nice places within a short distance in the car. Highly recommend staying here.

Really welcoming owners, we really enjoyed the eggs we received on the table when we arrived. Really quiet and comfortable, perfect for a getaway. Our little one loved seeing and feeding the animals, the donkeys and the big goats were his favourite! Had all the facilities you could need. We've already talked about wanting to come back again in the future.
