Amazing Property

By far the most beautiful place I have stayed in to date. Spotlessly clean, really thoughtful layout, interior design was just amazing. Could not fault it. Also got to see the animals!! The hosts Janette and Russell were absolutely lovely and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. We also had eggs from their hens and crisps and popcorn left for us. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Modern, friendly, relaxing countryside stay

Really helpful friendly discreet hosts, modern clean compact accommodation. Join Staffordshire Way from the doorstep or short drive to other points of interest. Enjoy fresh eggs from hosts chickens and chill out with Barney and Boris the goats at the end of the garden. Very relaxing break location.

A taste of the good life.

Wow! What a beautiful place. We visited Willow Bank in May 2022. As soon as we arrived, we were astounded by the beauty of this place. Firstly, the decor of the guest house is really nice. A superb modern feel but at the same time, a country feel too. There are 2 bedrooms, one bedroom with a king size bed and the other room with 2 single beds. Perfect for a family of four. The kitchen features a cooker, kettle, toaster, microwave and plenty of cutlery. Sugar, coffee, tea and milk were all readily available which is just one of the lovely touches our hosts made for guest comfort. The living quarters are up stairs which makes perfect sense for enjoying the scenic view of the garden and the fields around the property. Plenty of entertainment can be found here with a TV with access to Netflix and Amazon prime. Board games too which we loved. A lovely touch too was the popcorn in a basket next to the TV. Now then, the garden… I could talk all day about how beautiful the garden is. Firstly, there’s a monkey puzzle tree which is beautiful. Then a magnificent sundial. As you walk further down the garden, there’s fresh vegetables growing… at this point, I’m thinking, I wish I could live in the country permanently. At the end of the garden is the piece that will keep families coming back for more, there’s hens, roosters, rabbits, goats and much more waiting to greet you. The animals are so friendly too. Our kids loved this. Fresh eggs daily too that taste exquisite Our hosts, Janette and Russell were really kind and lovely people. They provide plenty of information about the surrounding areas and also about the animals too. They leave you to enjoy your stay and are readily available should you need any help with anything. Smoking is understandably not available inside the Willow Bank but there are designated smoking and vaping areas which is lovely to see as many places are not as thoughtful. There’s no need to take with you a travel iron. There’s 24 hour access to a laundry room with iron access and washing facilities. Also inside the willow bank is a handy garment steamer to freshen up your clothes from any suitcase creases. Overall, willow bank is a magical place. It’s beauty speaks for itself. If you are considering staying here, I would highly recommend that you do. Thank you Janette and Russell for making this trip special for our family. Hope to see you again soon.

Fantastic base to explore the local area

Russell is an amazing host- he made us feel very welcome from the moment we first booked. The property is immaculate with so many ‘added’ touches to make your stay special…Great location, just up the road from Alton Towers, but so much other stuff to do in the area….. we will definitely go back to do some walking at some point. Fantastic base for couples or families with teenagers or toddlers. Something for everyone. Highly recommend staying here and meeting all the animals.

About the host

Hosted by Russell

Hi. My name is Russell. I love the outdoors come rain or shine and spend time keeping busy in the garden and with the animals. I enjoy cycling in and around the local area and also walking. I support my local football team, Stoke City and I am a season ticket holder. I have a passion for music particularly listening to soul music from the 60's and 70's (that probably gives my age away!)
