These five self-contained apartments are located in the heart of Burslem, one of the six historic towns of Stoke-on-Trent. Converted from a former public house, The Olde Smithy Apartments offer basic yet comfortable accommodation and make a great choice for those looking to explore the local area and the many surrounding attractions.
Each apartment includes everything needed for a short stay, and one, Apartment 3, is particularly unique, having once served as the pub’s function room. This apartment benefits from its own private entrance, an upstairs level, and a garden, ideal for those seeking fresh air and added privacy. Situated on a main road in an urban setting, the apartments have been thoughtfully designed with bedrooms to the rear for quieter nights. While there is no on-site parking, a public car park is located just a few hundred metres away.
Burslem is best known for its rich ceramic heritage, with its roots in the pottery industry still visible today. Independent shops, traditional pubs, and local restaurants are all within walking distance. Further afield, there’s plenty to keep visitors entertained. Alton Towers Resort is around a 35-minute drive and offers world-famous rollercoasters, family attractions, a water park, and a spa. Just 10 minutes away, WaterWorld is the UK’s largest indoor tropical water park, perfect for family fun in any weather. The beautiful Trentham Estate is just 15 minutes away, home to award-winning gardens, a shopping village, and the popular Monkey Forest, where over 140 free roaming Barbary macaques live in a natural woodland setting.
For lovers of the outdoors, the southern reaches of the Peak District National Park are just 30 to 40 minutes away, offering scenic walks, wildlife, and dramatic landscapes. Also within easy reach are the World of Wedgwood, the Emma Bridgewater Factory, Middleport Pottery, the Gladstone Pottery Museum, and the historic market town of Leek.
With so much to explore, The Olde Smithy Apartments provide a well-located and practical base for enjoying the very best of Staffordshire and The Potteries.

They had furnished the apartment beautifully however it wasn’t fit for living. Bathroom had no screen or curtain so flooded every time someone showered so you had to sacrifice the hand towels provided as no mop available. Upon arrival there wasn’t the correct amount of linen or towels. So was asked to go to the key safe and hunt down linen and towels from one of the other apartments. It was a warm week when we stayed but inside the apartment was over 28 degrees. No fans available. We therefore had to open the windows but being on a main road the noise from traffic was horrendous then to top it off its opposite a police station so if it isn’t the trucks waking you bleeping reversing down the road at all hours of night making deliveries you will be woken by the sirens from the police cars. Also the beds are really uncomfortable and somehow feel narrower than a standard double. Ikea odd size maybe?
