The Paddock Side

David and Magda were both perfect, very easy to talk to and very helpful, but didn't hover around and just left you to get on with your day. Beds were very comfortable and clean. Room was very clean. Clean towels provided in their rooms for each guest. Bathroom was very clean with a great shower and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was basic, a croissant, butter, jam, orange juice; but we knew this when booking. Tea & coffee making facilities in the room. TV in each room. Beautifully quiet location with zero traffic noise. Woke up to the birds singing. Plenty of parking space. Local pub that does good meals (The New Broom)

Shared bathroom may worry some people, but with only a few guests it really was not a problem. I could not decipher how to operate the television system, but the 16 year old travelling with us had it figured out in no time.

Great place to stay, the rooms was clean and comfortable, the host was friendly and our room had everything we needed, nice breakfast all ready for us in the morning, plenty of parking.

Bathroom door didnt lock properly

Everything it’s very welcoming and homely I highly recommend staying here rather than a chain hotel!

It’s great the way it is it’s also very safe and secure as it’s a gated property

I liked the cleanliness of the bed and breakfast, everything was ready for our arrival, bathroom was also very nice and clean, it’s a roku tv, good for entertainment when it’s needed, king room has a lot of space if your not travelling lightly, the hosts were lovely people, didn’t disturb us atall and we felt at home, he asked what time we wanted breakfast, we weren’t big breakfast eaters so we told him it wasn’t required as he was kind about it, place was easy to find, came with 2 cars and had places to park which was good. Beds were comfortable and plenty pillows. Never went in our rooms or came to disturb us at any point. We also had keys for the front door and all of the rooms which was very reassuring.

They never advertised that the bathroom wasn’t private, so we didn’t expect to get there and be told it’s a shared bathroom, that information wasn’t on the website and would have appreciated that, at one point one of us was unaware and walked out in her towel only for someone she didn’t know to walk past. The heating wasn’t on when we were there, the only way to keep warm was by leaving our doors shut when gone and curtains shut to keep the draft out. There wasn’t much communication about keysafe codes for rooms, gates etc. Until I had to ask a couple hours before arrival. It would better to have 24 hours notice of that information. We only came with 2 cars so it was fine for us, but if on the off chance you’re coming with more than that i’m not sure where you would park. At one point we came back to the property after being to Alton towers, the front door was unlocked and not even latched which I thought was dangerous. They have a young child who’s loud in the mornings, it didn’t bother us so much as that’s what kids do, but for anyone who is not an early riser.
