“A wonderful stay in a lovely area!”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW via mobile

My partner & I visited The Laurels for our trip to Alton Towers. Our stay was just lovely. We were welcomed with open arms, and shown to our room (something you'd never get in a hotel!) the whole B&B was pristine! Sparkling! The guest house was so quiet, we slept very well. The room was a good size with wardrobe,... More

Laura Great to hear you had such a good nights sleep. I'll certainly pass on your comments to our cleaning girls too because they work really hard to ensure the place is how you found it :-) Shame you missed breakfast though. Maybe next time? Regards Phil & Helen More

We stayed at this b&b at the weekend it was great the kids had bunk beds in the room with us. We arrived late on Friday and got a very very warm welcome from the owner. It is a bit hard to find as the sat nav sends you in a different direction but a quick phone call to the... More

Andy, Laura and Kids Nice to know you had a great time with us. Thanks for highlighting the tip about the sat nav. We do send all our guests a confirmation email with our correct location on, but occasionally guests forget to read it! :-) Regards Phil & Helen More

Thanks for your comments. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and took the opportunity to venture into Cheadle. Having blackout curtains is certainly an idea we need to look into. Thanks for the suggestion. Regards Phil & Helen More

This was the first B&B my hubby and I have stayed in and can honestly say I think I'll be staying in preferred B&B's instead of corporate hotels. The staff we met were the two owners - Phil and Helen. Super friendly, and not so much so that it became invasive. Just pleasant :_ rooms were a little dated but... More

Sam Thank you so much for your comments. We're glad we seem to have converted you to B&Bs!! It would be great to see you back soon. Regards Phil & Helen More

“Broad Shoulders a no no”

Four poster room - don't book if you have broad shoulders or you will send the whole time walking like a crab. Very small room, the en-suite was huge. The kettle lead was to small so you had to take it off the table to plug it in. Not enough sugar in the room, 2 sachets with 3 tea bags... More

Thanks for your review. You posted similar comments on Booking.com last week and made some helpful suggestions. Immediately after this we purchased a new kettle with a longer lead. We always mention to our guests that they are free to ask for more tea, coffee or milk in their rooms. I would have been more than happy to top up... More
