A lovely room, situated beside a canal, with narrow boats passing by. The whole area of the hotel in an attractive setting to sitwith a drink outside by a small lake. Food good as was breakfast. All this just a mile or two off the M6.

Such a beautiful hotel with hidden old features, yet the rooms are very modern ! Air conditioning in the room and EV charging points- one don’t work but the staff were super keen to resolve the situation! Really couldn’t fault them . food was amazing, location so tranquil yet 15 minutes from Stafford city centre- will definitely stay again !!

The location is very handy if looking for a short stay near the M6. The hotel is reasonably large and caters for casual visitors as well as hotel guys given it's location next to water. Accordingly, the bar areas can be quite busy. The rooms were clean, a decent size and the beds extremely large and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was tasty and well presented and the service attentive without being intrusive. The Hotel prices were higher than some but still felt it was reasonable value for the quality of the food and the level of service provided. Definitely a good spot for a break from travelling .
