Hotels near Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Church, Stoke-on-Trent

Excellent. I cannot thank Kevin & the team enough. I found myself needing accommodation very last minute due to my partner having an serious accident and needing spinal surgery at the Stoke Royal. Kevin went above and beyond to accommodate me for a week due to me not being from the area and needing to stay close to the hospital. Rooms clean, they have everything you need, beds comfy, lovely little place, great value for money. Really welcoming and friendly.

Stunning location and very beautiful grounds. Even on a soggy day in September it was too inviting not too have an explore. Staff all exceptionally helpful, and friendly. Hotel itself is well looked after and I can imagine it being a superb venue for weddings, work events, team building etc. I stayed in a ‘Cosy Double’ which was very reasonably priced. It was small but well designed so it didn’t feel cramped, rather it was just as hoped for - cosy. Lovely touch to have a bottle of water and a glass in the room. Good selection of teas/coffee/hot chocolate to make in the room with kettle which is always appreciated. Also great to have two towels and a bath mat- as a woman with long hair it makes a difference and lovely soap in the bathroom. All the sort of touches that make you feel looked after and spoilt when you stay somewhere. Food was also excellent. Had dinner and breakfast both of which were thoroughly enjoyed. Would highly recommend and stay again should the opportunity arise.

The price increase in a days spa has prevented me from being able to go to the spa as often as I used to, however, we managed to get an autumn glow package, which included a 7 hour visit, lunch, free drink on arrival and one hour treatment. The same package last year also included the salt room, but this was not in the package this year. I’ll start with the pros, there are many. The staff were fabulous, really helpful, welcoming and friendly. As a vegan, I was more than happy with my vegan mezze platter and the new outdoor/indoor restaurant area is really lovely. The treatment was excellent, we had a facial and back and feet massage. Again the staff were lovely and we had camomile tea in the relax room afterwards. The swim up pool is great however, I found the water a bit too hot. Cons: The day we visited the spa was quite busy and we didn’t get around all of the outdoor rooms/areas but here is my experience of the ones we did visit. The steam room, both my friend and I and two other people noticed that the seats were slimy in places. I don’t know what causes this it might be quite natural but it wasn’t pleasant, it was mostly at the edges. From here we went to the cold bath. I love the cold bath experience and the exhilaration you feel when you get out, however, the bath had black lumps and white gooey pieces floating in it. Again not pleasant and I don’t know what it was but it certainly wasn’t nice. The paving around the swim up pool, was green in places and needed a good cleaning. We noticed stains on the day beds, the edges and the cushions. The floating beds in the indoor pool had black mould on them and one in particular smelled of mould. The cons didn’t ruin our day, but, we noticed them and other people will too. They need attention because the price for a day spa is high and I do expect everything to be perfect as it has been in the past.

We came for the Mama Mia event night they put on. Which they the also offered a room for a extra £99 which was great value for money. Mama Mia night was fantastic only down side was very cold food and lack of food. Hotel and breakfast absolutely spotless! We stopped in the modern side on the hotel and it’s definitely worth a request. Our room was lovely. Breakfast was beautiful Ive stop in a lot of nice hotels but this has definitely been the best for a while.

This spa consists of an outdoor jacuzzi, an indoor plunge pool & cold shower, a small steam room and sauna. There is another room but we didn’t pay for that experience. It was £50 each for 3 hours. We had lunch whilst there, as a more limited menu is provided. Points knocked off for tepid Jacuzzi and sauna. A few off the guests we engaged with commented on the fact that neither were hot enough, or as hot as expected. The steam room was the hottest place to be and we had been on a cold hike prior and really wanted to be warm. A private area to change would’ve been nice. I appreciate I had the “small plate” dish of gluten free mushrooms on toast (£8) but gluten free bread is the size of a postage stamp and I had to ask for another piece because even for a sandwich you expect 2 pieces of bread not one. They did bring one but it was too late for my toppings as I’d eaten it in 4 seconds. We didn’t think there was an option of a side order of chips on this menu or I would’ve had it. I would say it all looked clean though to end on a positive! Wouldn’t rule out returning. It’s more like a mini spa experience and I did say we could’ve got a guest pass for a gym that wouldn’t been a similar experience.
