Hotels near Bucknall Pentecostal Church, Stoke-on-Trent

We stayed here for two nights while visiting family for a wedding. The studio room itself was fully equipped with just about everything we needed for the stay and it was spotlessly clean… I mean spotless!!! A couple of things deterred from awarding a full 5 stars. 1: The check in is done remotely and was a little bit disjointed. The photo ID sent after booking was asked for again so had to be emailed again before passcodes we’re released. No on picks up the phone so the entire check in had to be done by SMS - although response were quite quick. 2: There was no parking available on arrival and we’d been driving for almost 6hrs so being tired, a bit stiff and hungry this news was a bit of a blow especially as the listing states there is free parking. We Sent a message to the check in team who basically said if there’s no parking well there’s no parking. We did manage to acquire a space a bit later once someone moved their car. 3: Hanley (the area of SOT where the apartments are located) feels a little bit run down, although there is a shopping centre, cinema, market and restaurants /shops to visit and everyone we encountered over the few days were all very friendly and eager to help. 4: The complimentary tea/coffee etc was not replenished during our stay (yeah we know it’s complimentary but in most places we have stayed in they are still replenished daily). Still worth another visit and would definitely book again with the knowledge of what to expect.

The staff was friendly and helpful the breakfast was good. The cleanliness of the room was excellent and had a good night sleep. The only minor complaint from myself is that they closed the bar early so was unable to have a quick pint 🙁. But would definitely use again if in the area.

Excellent stay! From the welcome to the checking out, the staff were friendly and helpful. The house is amazing - love that the history of the house is in a leaflet in the room. Our room was clean, spacious, had everything in working order and was comfortable. There were spare pillows in the wardrobe (which my husband and I needed as we are side sleepers and love a pile of pillows), the duvet and sheets were soft and comfortable. We had a tv in our room, tea/coffee facilities and a glass bottle of water. We chose to have dinner there instead of venturing out, and we are glad we did. The food was delicious. fresh and piping hot on arrival. The wine recommendation from the staff was spot on! The bar afterwards was lovely to sit in and wind down before bed. Breakfast the next morning (included in the booking) was again delicious and well cooked. There was also tea and coffee, fresh juice, pastries and toast for guests to serve themselves as much as they wanted. Before leaving we had a walk around the garden and the views are spectacular. The garden itself is well looked after and beautiful as well. My husband and I cannot fault a thing about our stay, which we chose for our 4th wedding anniversary and we will definitely be back.

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.

Stayed here for a wedding anniversary break. We wanted a hotel with a spa and not too far from home. The spa itself is very well equipped. Husband had 3.5 hours to use the various facilities including sauna, steam room, relaxation. I had treatments with lovely Eleanor. The products are lovely. We booked a hot tub room, with the tub on a private terrace. It’s overlooked by the rooms above but who cares? At our age we won’t be skinny dipping! The room itself is clean, with all the amenities you need. Yes, the furniture could do with updating and the lamps are horrible! But it’s warm and comfortable. We’d definitely come back.

The hotel surpassed my expectations. It was clean, well- supplied, good presentation, etc. The first person I met was Olga at the front desk. She was everything you might expect & more. She presents herself with a smile & makes the guest feel welcome. I went downstairs several times to ask her questions and she was always helpful. I'm from Orlando, Florida. I grew up in the largest vacation/customer service culture in the world so I understand quality & professionalism. This young lady has it all. Promote her or at least don't let her get away! Thank you for a very pleasant stay.
