The White Hart

So we were a visiting family of four, two teenagers and we were spending the weekend at Alton Towers. Having looked into staying on site as we had done when the kids were younger, we decided instead to stay local and travel in instead. Found this pub with a two bedroom apartment attached which was 1 1/2 miles from the Towers in a lovely little village next to a church. It proved to be an excellent choice and half the price compared to staying at the Towers. A roomy well presented apartment with everything a family would need for a short stay. You have to except you are staying above a busy pub and it was very busy each evening, so it did get a little noisy on occasion, but not enough to disturb our stay. Parking was also a little tight but as we were away most of the time anyway,we worked around this, no problem. The people were all very welcoming and the Wi-Fi was perfect. Although we didn’t get to eat in the pub (fully booked each night), the food did look lovely. The beers were great and we had a brilliant time. Very impressed, would happily stay again if in the area. It’s clear that as a community run pub they were doing their very best to support the village.

Found this lovely little pub when everywhere else was fully booked they went out of their way to accommodate us. We was very pleased with our authentic thai food and the atmosphere was very cosy and homely. Recommended.

We stayed for 2 nights in the apartment, it is our 2nd stay here. Came as a family of 5, I would say if you are taller than 5ft 5 in the apartment, be prepared to bump you head, I have 2 boys 5,10 and 6 ft that had some sense knocked into them a couple of times of the top of the door frames. But given the teenage attitude I get at times this was secretly quite amusing. The apartment is lovely really cosy and has all the amenities you need. Really comfy beds would have been really nice to have a good night sleep but fire alarm went off at 1 am both mornings due to a fault, this couldn’t be predicted though and no one’s fault. And John was very apologetic about this. The Thai food is amazing, and would highly recommend and really accommodating, we had someone with a nut allergy. The staff are really friendly, pleasant and were happy to help. I would recommend here to stay and would stay again.

Booked our 2 night stay here for a visit to Alton Towers with the grandaughter and looked forward to a lovely thai meal as a bonus. We already knew check in was at 5 but didnt expect the place to be locked up on arrival at 16.45… no matter… and right enough bang on 5 the place opened and we checked into our spacious family room… plenty of sockets to plug chargers into … nice beds, nice views and bathroom but ohh my… the people on 4 in a bed show would have had a fit… thick mould all over the rollerblind in the bathroom which was a let down unfortunately… hey ho… went down to a very quiet bar to book a table for a nice thai meal only to be told they dont do monday and tuesday nights.. contrary to what the internet had told us and both the nights we had booked so no thai for us We had an early night and settled in… the church over the road think its a good idea to ring the bells literally every 15 minutes throughout the night which initially was quaint but at 2 in the morning was a bit much… Early to rise for the day at Alton Towers… and although plenty of coffee and tea sachets no bloomin milk or whitener

Great Location, just down the road from Alton Towers and in a nice little village. Good ales, friendly staff, pool table, good gins and ciders. Tidy, clean room and a lovely breakfast in the morning. Thanks You and see you again
