We have stayed here a few times now and will always choose to stay here to break a long journey. The rooms are immaculate, beautifully presented and every detail thought of. A superior stay for a budget price. It's also dog friendly. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Stayed for one night whilst visiting family in the area.Good location a few minutes from the M1. We stayed in No:1.Small room but well appointed with a comfortable King size bed, a small table and two chairs, bedside tables, TV, microwave and table top chiller. There was also tea and coffee making facilities provided.Shower room was excellent with a very nice electric shower cubicle, lavatory and sink. Towels and toiletries are provided.We had our dog with us and the patio area was enclosed and handy but is shared with the unit next door however there is a very good walking area just across the road.The proprietor has recently had an EV charger unit installed and is planning to put a couple more in.There is also an excellent dog friendly pub/restaurant, the Risley Park, a couple of minutes walk away.The accommodation owner, Hope, is on site and was friendly and helpful.All in all, a very positive experience and we would definitely stay again.

Located literally a 30 second walk to Risley Park, I photographed a bridal prep here (the room we had wasn’t huge) but the natural light coming in was just enough for portraits. The views at the back are so lovely and peaceful.

Beautiful little room in a beautiful location. We stayed there for one night with the dog, it's a very cute, clean room with a lovely bathroom. They also have a microwave, kettle and dishes. Perfect if you need to go to the airport early as its close by.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Its the perfect little hideaway for a getaway or in our case our wedding prep and accommodation.We booked 2 rooms for the night before and 4 rooms night of our wedding for us and some of the bridal party. I received easy instructions on self checking in and Hope was quick to respond to all queries. Even made sure the second 2 rooms where ready early so they where accessible before we needed to leave.Charging port accessible for friends car and everything you could need was in the beautifully presented rooms from toiletries, tea/coffee and milk to iron/board etc. It provided us the perfect, picturesque place to get ready!After a hectic bridal prep morning and leaving in a rush the room was unavoidably left untidy by us but on return for our wedding night it was left amazing once again and Hope even left a bottle and some glasses for me and my now husband which I thought was such a sweet touch.No complaints from any of us and views from the gardens where just beautiful. Only suggestion to guests is to double check your maps when using satnav as a lot of people got a little turned around finding it.
