Hotel Rudyard Lake Road, Rudyard, Leek ST13 8RN

"We had a fantastic evening in the new dining pods. Service was fantastic and the steak night was great value. The locally sourced award winning T-Bone steak was perfectly cooked and excellent value. Plenty of room for 6 of us and a really enjoyable evening in a different environment."

"Deeply disappointed: I booked an overnight stay on behalf of my elderly & infirm mother, who wished to treat my sister to a Christmas night away at Rudyard Hotel, with her on Boxing Day. As there are no lifts at the hotel and mum uses a wheelchair, we had been lucky to book a ground floor cottage room. On arrival the cottage was cold and damp and the heating was not working: it would seem this hadn’t been checked prior to arrival. When queried my sister was advised that it couldn’t be fixed and that a refund could be offered as an alternative. For someone who is largely home bound this was the one night of the year away from home, which my mum had been very much looking forward to. It is disappointing that the hotel takes little time and attention to ensure accommodation is fit for purpose."

"Lovely hotel right next to rudyard Lake. Cracking Sunday lunch with a good selection of meat and veg and a very friendly server. You get loads of meat and help yourself to potato's and veg etc . In the summer, sit outside as there's plenty of space, and they have introduced some cosy pods, too. Coffee shop and ice creams are also available just at the side of the hotel. There is plenty of space to park at a small charge, which is reimbursed if you spend £5 in the pub, which basically makes the parking free. Nice atmosphere and in a nice area. Staff are always welcoming and friendly, and service is quick at the bar. Keep up the good work"

"We stay in cottage 2 for 1 night as we spent 2 days in Alton towers. Lovely drive to hotel. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Cottage clean, tidy and perfect for a family. Breakfast the next day was wonderful. Thank you all for making a few days away special. Will definitely recommend to friends and family"

"So we're a family of five... Its nearly impossible finding a hotel that will accommodate us all but this place had zero issues. Nice room, tea and coffee ready which was ace and a nice selection of biscuits! It's very quiet even with the bar downstairs and it was busy. Short walk down to the lake with great views from the dam. Look out for the sculptures... Look up! The Food. Well done, very well done. The breakfast was the best we've had anywhere. Pancakes were great. Portions large. Everything was cooked well and not dripping in greese, nice mushrooms, meats were well cooked and certainly not cheap and lovely table service. Excellent hotel and break. Bravo."
