Hotels near Valley Park Play Area, Crewe

Noisy outside so ask for a room at back. Bath is tiny and I’m only 5’2 and had to prop legs up. Also had to give it a wipe down first as other people’s hair all over bath. Rest of room was basic and clean. Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming

One night stay whilst visiting the area and booked with Great Little Breaks so we got a good deal for B&B with dinner & wine. Lovely rooms, very clean and quiet despite a large function. We pre-booked a table for Dinner which is a good idea as the restaurant was very busy. Food was very good although not a huge choice. No ice available for drinks in the restaurant but there was in the upstairs bar!!!! Surely they can share - same hotel just a flight of stairs to go up to get some?? Breakfast service however was shocking, very poor. We were a table of 4, not shown to a table when we arrived and we couldn’t find a cleared one available. We put the dirty stuff onto another table and claimed it but no-one around clearing any used tables at all. We had to ask for bowls for cereal, glasses for juice, someone to bring us cutlery, plates at the hot food area, butter for the toast, brown sauce!!! No one checking or replenishing these areas at all! The fried eggs were undercooked, bacon leathery, no mushrooms, half tomatoes floating in water! When plates were brought out eventually they really cold. The staff looked stressed and never smiled or acknowledge guests - we visited in July and I’m afraid the breakfast experience was similar then which is a shame because everything else in this hotel was really quite nice. Sorry for negatives but with improvements in these areas it could be great.

The hotel was in a great spot to visit Keele umiversity and reasonably priced compared to other hotels in the area. The room was clean, a good size and very quiet. A nice touch to have bottles of water provided in the fridge too! Breakfast was cooked to order with a good choice of options every day. I would recommend this hotel to friends and definitely stay here again when visiting the area!

We were in Stoke for a weekend conference and stayed at Clayhanger , mainly as it was so convenient for the Conference Centre. Kevin and his family were most hospitable and we enjoyed our stay. We had a nice quiet twin room at the back of the guesthouse (room 10) . The room was not huge but we were only there 2 nights and hadn't brought much luggage with us so no problem. Beds were comfortable and the room was warm so we slept well both nights. Continental breakfast was nice - a full cooked breakfast was not available but I had scambled egg on toast one morning and that was fine. We parked in a residential street opposite the guest house (no charge). Overall a very nice stay and if the conference is held in Stoke again next year, we will certainly book Clayhanger again
