We chose this pub as we were going to Alton Towers; a perfect location as only a 15 minute car drive. Accommodation is like a little village of chalets in the grounds of the pub, all adequate with flat screen tv, tea and coffee making supplies and kettle, hairdryer (but brought my own), a fabulously powerful shower. Room was clean and comfortable. You get allocated a parking space beside your chalet but there is plenty of parking in the main car park of the pub if you cannot park 2 cars side by side. We have a Sportage and the people sharing the parking spot between the 2 chalets had a van so we couldn't fit both in the space but parking in the car park was fine. Nice continental breakfast on one morning and upgraded to a full English on the 2nd - really nice quality ingredients for the cooked breakfast and a lovely selection for the continental - the fruit and yoghurt bowls with granola were particularly nice. Friendly staff and had a lovely meal in the evening after a full day at Alton Towers. Would definitely use the Dog and Partridge again when we visit again.

Was bitten by fleas during our stay, mentioned this to reception and I assume a manager the next morning and I was told that it had been a while since a dog stayed in our room… There wasn’t any care with either member of staff not much was said to me just stared at, it was quite awkward. It’s a shame we won’t be staying again purely because it the way the situation was handled. The floor in our room was filthy… Dusty, rubbish from previous guests left in the room and empty packets of the complementary coffee and sugar.

Lovely stay, other than wifi :)
We came here for two nights while visiting Alton Towers. It was the second time we stayed here, and the cleanliness and comfort were great, as were the staff (who were all lovely!) Only thing we would say is that understandably for the location, the mobile service isn’t great, however there was unfortunately also really temperamental wifi, which kept dropping, making it difficult to look anything up at all. Other than that, everything else was great, and we would recommend to anyone (if they don’t mind some bad wifi and service!)

Wow, what a gem! We had a fabulous experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere so warm and friendly. The room was fantastic, and the bed—haven't slept that well in ages! The food was simply to die for, in the best way possible. We originally planned to stop over on our way to the Lakes, but after this visit, we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! ♥️

Very close to Alton Towers and in a nice surrounding. Free parking and very friendly staff. However, the one of the two bedrooms had a strong damp smell, the toilet was cramped. No air freshner was available either.
