We enjoyed our stay. Friendly host, all needs catered for. Adapted well for covid-19 with breakfast brought to the room.
United KingdomDue to covid, there wasn't a sit down breakfast available but a breakfast in a bag delivered to your door. There was a selection of bacon/sausage sandwiches, fruit, yogurts, cereal bars and tea or coffee. Although breakfast in a bag can't compare to a sit down breakfast, it was tasty and plenty of food to set us up for the day. An email the night before to the owner and breakfast is sorted. The local pub, only a 5 minute walk away was great. They were really friendly and the food was top notch. Location was perfect for our stay for Alton Towers. It was nice looking out of the window in the morning to a view of the countryside and the sheep.
United KingdomWarm and hospitable welcome. The hosts were very accommodating with our vegan requests - and the food was fab!
United KingdomWe were very happy with this accommodation and would not hesitate to stay again if we ever return to this part of England.
United States of AmericaIt was wonderful. The hostess couldn’t have been more helpful. We really enjoyed our stay there
United States of AmericaHost was very welcoming, beautiful location, lovely breakfast
United KingdomShawgate Farm Guest house was excellent all round. Greeted by one of the owners, shown to our beautiful bedroom, (a family of 5, youngest 13 years), which had full size double bed, full size single and full size bunk beds and still loads of room. Huge on-suite bathroom with lovely fluffy towels for all of us. It was spotless and with the most amazing country views. After a very comfortable nights sleep we all tucked into a great full English breakfast. What a gem of a place and one night was not enough.
United KingdomReally lovely place. Nina was very friendly and helpful. The family room was clean and spacious. Really close to Alton Towers. I would definitely stay again. Thank you
