"Booked this as it was a very reasonable price as I was going to Alton towers the next day. Arrived and was stunned by the building and the views. Checked in and the staff were lovely and very friendly and welcoming.
Next day for up and had breakfast, a freshly cooked English breakfast with cereals and pastries included. Overall if I am ever in the area again I will be staying here."

"Nice comfortable stay, rooms are nice as well as bar and restaurant, my only criticism would be the strange smell in the room! Smelt almost like a drain was blocked."

Fantastic stay and facilities, we thoroughly enjoyed out little hideaway. This place is a hidden gem and we definitely will be back. Only downfalls are the fact that it isn't advertised so well as this property has huge potential, gym is a little on the small side and it most definitely could do with a onsite restaurant for gain revenue for the place to maximise the income but it didnt effect our stay as we had all the facilities we needed in our lodge and planned on going out anyhow.

It was faultless. Warm and clean and everything you need for a stay as close as you can get to Alton Towers. Space to park and leave your car. 2-3 minutes walk to the turnstiles at Alton towers. Highly recommend the place.

It's been great
Comfortable enough
Not overly expensive
Came the week before Christmas so Christmas activities on, which my 3 year old loved!
We're vegan and they accommodated for us at breakfast
All the staff have been super lovely.
For us/the price, so much easier than coming to Thomasland last year We'd stay here again
Do have to pay for car parking (we paid £7 for both nights) which isn't obvious.

Fabulous cottage. Quiet location with amazing views. Warm & comfortable. Only slight problem was tv not working in one bedroom. Would definitely return.

Fantastic, responsive and lovely host, whom was able to give an individualised response to my couple of queries. Great hot tub, that was actually hot from start to end! We had a great stay, thank you Kelly

We had a wonderful stay at the Shooting Lodge. The lodge was spotless, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful setting, beautiful views, and wildlife made it the perfect place to relax.
The hosts were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay. Nothing was too much trouble.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Shooting Lodge

Super clean, comfortable & appointed accommodation. Simultaneously spacious & cosy! Quiet rural location, but only a few minutes drive from supermarket. Private parking at front door, good sized hot tub in the rear garden. Lovely hosts & cute goats!

Our recent stay at Small Lane Cottage was nothing short of amazing! The cottage has been finished to an incredibly high standard and has absolutely everything you would need for a self-catered break - Liz has thought of everything! The decor is beautiful and the whole place was spotlessly clean when we arrived.
The location is great, particularly if you really want to escape somewhere quiet and peaceful. The garden and hot tub have fantastic views you can enjoy all year round.
