Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The toilets were open 24/7

Disliked -It was very close to a fast road so unsafe
-We caught the host looking at us from the roof of the pub twice
-We got told the toilets were in a complete different place than they were actually
-surrounded by very steep cliffs, very unsafe for dogs or small children
- The place was a dump, it had abandoned caravans and huts all over and was unkept
-the actual place was hard to find

From the manager: Hello Ladies,
I am sorry you did not feel satisfied with your stay.
However, may I point out that you were told that the toilets were the large arch door at the rear of the pub and would be open 24 hrs.
You further sent myself a txt to ask again and I txt saying I would come out to you, unfortunately with having trouble using the stairs I thought it quicker to exit through the patio door onto the roof.
I then rang yourself and said if you walk towards the pub you will see me on the roof and that I am right above the door to the toilets.
As for spying 🤣I would definitely have done a better job of disguising myself and not be sitting in plain sight on a flat roof. I certainly have better things to do with my time.

Liked Kind, friendly, great hospitality. Peaceful surroundings. Convenient for Alton towers. Nice ales on offer. Safe space for kids to play.

Disliked Lack of shower facility. Counter balanced with a visit to splash water park at Alton towers (well worth a visit)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Small site, very close to Alton Towers with good facilities. It is very close to a road but I quite enjoyed the sound of the traffic when going off to sleep. Family of bunnies came to visit in the early hours which was lovely!

Disliked Pitches are not marked out and we although quiet when we arrived, we were found that other tents quickly arrived which were able to be set up pretty much on top of us. We left after our second night due to the inconsideration and noise from our tent neighbours- not the camp sites fault.

Site also not secure and very close to fast main road and given the young age of some of the campers- you may want to reconsider if you have an adventurous toddler/young child with you!

Local attractions

As nearby attractions go, it doesn't get much more local than Alton Towers (five minutes' drive) – in fact, it's said that the Peakstones Inn was once the gatekeeper's lodge of Alton Towers back in the days when the 910-acre park was owned by the Earl of Shrewsbury. Nowadays, as well as the coasters and other headline rides, there's a spa, water park and miniature golf course that cater to those looking for chilled-out times alongside big adrenaline hits. This well-located site is also a mere 15-minute drive from the edge of the Peak District National Park, a hub for epic hill hikes, laidback leg-stretching and everything in between. Drive to Dovedale car park (30 minutes) if you fancy mostly flat walks along country lanes and riverside paths, or take on mighty Mam Tor (an hour) if you're up for a challenge. And don't neglect the fab family-friendly ents on offer in Stoke on Trent (30 minutes) – the city is home (to name but a few) to Trentham Monkey Forest, a wildlife park where apes roam free, Waterworld Tropical Aqua Park and the spectacular Trentham Estate.
