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

“Fantastic B + B in lovely countryside location very near Alton Towers”

Reviewed 7 May 2013 via mobile

Myself and my boyfriend had a lovely stay at The Laurels on Sunday 5th May. The host was so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was fresh and plentyful, nothing was any trouble. Bedrooms in need of a little modernising although very cosy and clean. Went for tea at a pub called Ye Olde Star Inn that is literally a minute or... More

Emily It's great to hear you had a good stay and enjoyed your breakfast so much. We started the process of updating the bedrooms when we took over in April, so please bare with us whilst we make things more contemporary. We'd love to see you back soon and hopefully you see some changes you like. Regards Phil & Helen More

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here on April 30th for one night before a trip to Alton towers! Perfect location to be able to have a lie in and get there for when it opens...lovely little village and Phil recommended the pubs for food - we ate in the admiral jervis which was very nice and we were really welcomed!...

Thanks for you review. We can't ask for more, than our guests saying they'll be back! We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We're lucky to have 3 pubs within a few minutes walk, so there's lots of choice for our guests when they're looking for somewhere nice to visit in the evening. Regards Phil & Helen More

Reviewed 2 May 2013

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

“Brilliant”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

The Laurels was a lovely B&B. I was very grateful for them emailing me a map of the B&B and how to get there as the Satnav didn't take you there when the postcode was entered. Very conveniently located to Alton Towers. I couldn't fault the staff at all, nothing was a problem for them and they were so friendly.... More

Catherine It's nice to hear you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed our breakfast. Our sausages are hand made by a local farmer using high quality ingredients. I'll certainly be passing on your comments to him. Sorry about the bed being a bit creaky. I'll have a look at it asap to see what the issue is. More
