the staff were excellent, the restaurant food was very good, the room was very comfortable and good view out to the drive. I could find no fault in any area. the large lounge downstairs was the most beautiful room I have ever sat in a hotel beautifully decorated and a log fire.

United KingdomThe property was beautiful and located on a serene setting overlooking a large garden area. it was clean, comfortable and had fantastic service as well as a delicious breakfast included in our room price.
United States of AmericaThe room and location are beautiful. My family enjoyed walking around the property and breakfast in the morning.
United KingdomWe liked the room and the atmosphere. Location was good for our purpose as it was close to Wedgewood but probably too remote for general touring without a car.
United KingdomLocation, the grounds, the breakfast...... Close to Wedgewood
United KingdomLocation was beautiful and the room was lovely and a good size for a family.
United KingdomWe received a room upgrade via booking.com (genius rate) which was a really nice room (bridgewater), with two windows on separate sides which meant in this hot weather there was always a lovely breeze, although there was a fan in the room if we needed it. Lovely modern bathroom with a wonderful shower (no bath) which could be either overhead rain shower style or using the standard shower head. The toiletries provided smelt wonderful and were lovely to use. The location was great and we stayed after a day at Alton Towers (30 min drive), as were heading off elsewhere after here. Dinner and breakfast were both great, the mushroom risotto was delicious. The lady on reception (Rachel) was ever so good, polite, helpful and appeared to do a bit of everything. The outside seating area was well kept and relaxing, with a table service due to the pandemic. We put everything on our room bill and paid in full when checking out.
United KingdomWe stayed 1 night on business and The hotel and grounds are beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was very comfortable. It offers a great hotel, great location and great breakfast, and parking

In a peaceful, rural location, this country house was originally built in 1845. Today, the house has been converted into a luxurious privately owned hotel with many beautiful original features.
The Upper House is a former Wedgwood residence, built for Josiah Wedgwood's grandson, Francis Wedgwood. The house still retains its original charm, with extensive period decoration and traditional character. It is also a highly demanded wedding venue.
There are 24 rooms with attached bathroom, all with TVs, telephones, tea/coffee making facilities and hairdryers. Some of the rooms have balconies and although there is no smoking in the house, smoking is permitted on the balconies.
Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout the hotel.
A full English breakfast is included in the price.
There are 2 comfortable lounges and in the chillier winter months, guests can relax by the real log fire. There is also a patio area and a conservatory at the rear of the hotel, both overlooking the beautiful gardens.
A elevator serves all floors.
The Upper House has a quiet, restful location, but is just a few miles south of Stoke-on-Trent, within easy reach of the A50, the M6 motorway and the region’s major road network.
Free on-site parking is available for guests.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.
