“Highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Four of us stayed here over two nights recently as we were going to Alton Towers for the closing weekend. We arrived later than planned on Friday night, and from the moment we arrived the owners made us feel at home.

The place is spotless, and the rooms were lovely. We especially appreciated all the thoughtful little touches in each room - DVD player (with a selection of DVDs available), a local guide to the area, tea and coffee facilities (with fresh milk jug in the fridge) - even an umbrella, which is obviously very handy with the British weather!

The breakfast was fantastic, and the two of us that are veggies really enjoyed the vegetarian cooked breakfast.

I would definitely recommend The Warren, and will most certainly be going back if I am in the area again.

“Lovely stay at The Warren”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

We stayed here for one night on Halloween. Because we'd be at Alton Towers for Scarefest until 9pm, we'd dropped by The Warren before we went into the park to collect the key and find out about breakfast/our room etc, which the owners were more than happy to facilitate.

After a long day in the theme park it was wonderful to drive for literally about four or five mins to The Warren and relax in a lovely room - as others have mentioned very clean and comfortable and fresh milk in the fridge, tv/dvd player.

The breakfast the following morning was wonderful and set us up for anither day in the park! We'd definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area or visiting Alton Towers. Annette and Keith are very friendly and helpful. They even didn't tell us off when we accidentally left with the room key (because we're idiots!!) All in all a great place to stay, would recommend!

“Excellent place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

Stayed here for two nights with my girlfriend during an October half term road trip. If you are visiting Alton Towers, I urge you to stay here. The room was so absolutely spotless, as in, it felt like we were the first people to ever stay there. Breakfast was a real treat, really high quality food being served. Room had a DVD player and a fridge - ideal for us. Within walking distance of several nice country pubs serving good food. The owners Annette and Keith are very friendly and so helpful. We really felt it was so reasonably priced for what we got, we would have happily paid more, and will certainly be back! Again, stay here if you are going to Alton Towers or are just in the area, you just can't go wrong.

“A lovely welcome & spotless room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

We checked in late as we'd spent the day in Birmingham on the way up. The owners phoned mid-afternoon to check when we were planning to arrive so that they could be ready to greet us. This attention to detail continued when we arrived. Fresh milk was put in our room fridge for a cup of tea. The owners asked where we were having dinner and lent us a torch to negotiate the lanes. They provided us with the pub's number so we could book a table.
The en-suite was spotless and we struggled to tell if it was well cleaned or brand new! The breakfast was lovely and the owners went out of their way to offer us their insider knowledge of the best rides and routes round Alton Towers.
W warm and friendly B&B with great views and no faults. I recommend staying here highly!

“Great location, big clean rooms, great host”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

I saw this bed and breakfast after reading great reviews on trip advisor. I was not disappointed. Great location for Alton towers, could have walked but after a day round the park thought it was a bit too far. Service was excellent and the rooms were big and very clean. Nothing was too much trouble. Great value and would definitely stay again
