Liked: I booked this venue for camping for my partners 40th birthday to visit Alton towers. We arrived to this Beautiful country pub with roaring fire, so welcoming, staff were very cheerful and friendly and chatty. The food was delicious and home made with high standard produce. Will always go back to this beautiful venue everytime I visit Alton towers. Thank you

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Pub toilets available. Water tap on the pitch. Dogs allowed.
Disliked: Small uneven and sloped field - fortunately we could park where we liked as we were the only ones there. Busy road all night and the field is right next to it. Had to “sleep” in the car as it was just too noisy. You might be fine in a van but don’t stop here in a tent. Chose a pub site for the beer but most were off.

Liked: Friendly team at the pub, quiet site (late September) and option for breakfast at additional charge. Good toilets. Plenty of parking.
Disliked: No showers on site for camping. And as small site, you can hear other campers a lot of they're a bit loud.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The clean toilets. Close to Alton Towers. Quiet area with stunning views. Great walks. We didn’t use it this time but likes the option for breakfast in the morning. Great to be close to the pub for meals and drinks. The lady running the site was so lovely and made us feel really welcomed.
Disliked: Hard ground. No marked out pitches. The ground is very difficult to pitch on. Mostly stones! Recommend hard ground pegs. We were lucky with our pitch as we got the only one out on its own. As the site is small the space is really lacking, it was busy when we went and the tents were really crammed in. One larger group arrived after us and there was no space left. I’d recommend splitting the site into small and large pitch sizes and marking out actual pitches.
