The staff were very friendly and understanding. Room was very clean. Continental breakfast served to room. Perfect location as only 1 min walk to Alton Towers main gates.

Abdulmuaez Libya

The couple are the most wonderful couple you could ever meet and the apartment is so homely and felt like home from home. The kitchen is well equipped for a perfect stay.

Sharon United Kingdom

What a fantastic accommodation! The owners are extremely nice, friendly and helpful, while the place will give you a warm, cozy, home like feeling!

Tamás Romania

My partner and I had booked the self catering apartment. On arrival we were met by Carol, very helpful and left nothing unanswered. We had booked the accommodation due to its proximity to Alton Towers.......We had booked a two day pass to the attraction. After a long day of walking around the park (12 miles) we were so excited to have somewhere to return to, that felt home from home. We had discussed that on our next visit to the park, we would arrange it around the availability of Trough Ivy House. The apartment is stocked with everything you need for a self catering visit. If there is anything that you would need, you will find the owners extremely approachable. Please note...the admission gates for Alton Towers is a 4 minute walk from the accommodation, do not drive like we did and spend 45mins in a 1 mile traffic queue to the pre-booked carpark.🤦‍♀️ Thank you for your hospitality. Steph

Oliver United Kingdom

Hollie United Kingdom

The location was perfect for a trip to Alton Towers! The owners were lovely, it was very clean and had all the facilities you needed!

Lia United Kingdom

We loved everything! The room was massive and so lovely & homely. Breakfast was lovely and the location couldn’t get better for Alton Towers and the area around is so lovely. Can’t wait to stay there again!

Rebecca United Kingdom

Absolutely everything! It was very homely, comfy and friendly

Conor United Kingdom

Everything was perfect right from the second Carol greeted to the second she said goodbye. If you’re going to Alton towers then this is the place to stay as your on the doorstep to it (it’s closer than Alton towers car park to the entrance!!) Room was fantastic, bathroom was very clean and breakfast in the mornings was exceptional. Could not fault our stay at all, thank you carol, most amazing host!!! Will definitely be back when visiting Alton towers
