The Dog & Partridge Country Inn

Breakfast is not really included as such. Only the continental buffet. This is cereal, fruits, cereal bars, baked items and a large selection of cakes, including mince pies, which was odd for breakfast. The hot breakfast requires a surcharge to be paid, something I’ve never experienced before. The full English would be best described as part English breakfast, with no sausages, tomatoes, or mushrooms included which is a bit of an insult when you’re paying a surcharge. I can’t fault the service, or anything else, but this felt a bit naughty to be doing.

The accomodation was fine. Reasonably clean and comfortable. The evening meal was nothing to write home about but it was ok. Breakfast was disappointing. Thankfully I noticed that the raspberries were covered in mould before my three year old ate any. The butter tasted sour and off- I couldn't eat it and had to take the butter covered toast from my 8 month old baby who was already munching away. We ordered toast for the table (of 5 people). It took a long time to come and we only got 4 pieces. We didn't want to wait for more so we just shared. The fact that the butter was putrid made us not really fancy anything more anyway. The croissants were stale too. I left feeling nervous that we were all going to end up ill. Thankfully we didn't. It made me wonder about hygine in the kitchen. We would not have eaten there in the evening if I'd already experienced breakfast.

Asked to change date as couldn’t make it due to car problems was broken down with no means of getting there, considering this is a family run hotel and it was my partners 40th birthday you would think as a good will gesture they would of give me a change of date option but they just give me a curfew of getting there for 11pm or don’t bother coming and took my money very poor service.

Lovely place Staff very attentive Room perfect size Restaurant is really good We really enjoyed our stay

Booked for overnight whilst visiting Alton Towers, so arrived around 9pm. Family room has good layout but first thing that hit us was smell of damp. Not sure how long since bedding had been changed on bunk bed as found a finger nail clipping under the quilt on the sheet. Glasses were dusty, old water in kettle and what looked like blood on bedside table (but think was possibly make up when we wiped it up). Walls stained, bathroom grime and toilet pan dirty. Had it not been after 9pm, would have left room there and then. One redeeming point was continental breakfast was fine and varied, if not a little bit odd.

A fantastic place to stay. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Breakfast options cater for everyone and food is excellent. Rooms are really comfortable and spacious. Was so impressed after our first visit, we have stayed a further two times and recommend to family. You wont be disappointed.

We stayed here as a family of 4 through Tesco clubcard the night before going to Alton Towers. We travelled for about 3 hours and didn't arrive til 9.30pm (we'd phoned ahead to say we were arriving late) and were greeted warmly with everything we needed to know explained to us. The chalets are behind the restaurant, it was a large room with a double bed and a bunk bed, there was a radiator that heated up quick, a decent kettle with tea, coffee, milk and sugar. The bathroom was clean with towels and a nice hot powerful shower. The only downside was we found the pillows really hard and uncomfortable. There is a communal playpark for the chalets which is lovely but unfortunately it had rained so the children didn't use it. The continental breakfast was lovely, it was a buffet with everything you could want on there, the kids loved it, at least 6 different types of cereals, little individual bowls with chopped berries in, toast to order, cookies, shortbread, flapjack, yoghurts, cheese, meats, kids cereal bars, we all had a really good feed! Fresh juices/tea and coffee to order, all included. The staff were really friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

My partner and I stayed here because it was close to Alton Towers, but we loved everything about it and can't wait to return! We got in sort of late at night and worried we wouldn't be able to get dinner, but the staff was super nice and let us put our dinner orders in when we checked in and freshen up before heading to the on-site pub. The grounds are gorgeous and you have views of sprawling hills and cows, and they even have a chicken coop in the garden. (Also lots of play equipment for children and an outdoor beer garden.) Breakfast was also delicious: A buffet of pastries and meats and cheeses and a few hot options for order.

Lovely pub/B&B looks better than the pictures, in a beautiful, quiet location and only a 10 minute drive from Alton Towers which was the purpose of our stay, staff all lovely, especially the receptionist (sorry didn’t get your name) Room we stayed in was outside in the pub grounds and perfect for our short stay, enough space for the 4 of us, and fabulous shower. Continental breakfast had a good choice and filled us up for the morning. Highly recommend
