The Upper House

"This genteel hotel sits unobtrusively on the rolling hills just south of Stoke, and calms you before you even reach the front door. The staff were the most incredibly friendly people, and accommodating to all our needs and wants (except the recipe for the oatcakes!). We checked in quickly, easily and efficiently. Our room was very comfortable, with a beautiful view from a semi-private balcony across the expansive grounds of the hotel. Dinner was amazing, the salmon en croute was delicious, and the samphire a perfect accompaniment. The crab bisque was delightful. The pork belly was sublime. The entire meal was outstanding. We slept well on a very comfortable bed in total silence. Breakfast (included) was quite amazing, with a wonderful selection of cooked food alongside a wide range of cereals, toast and spreads, and a selection of juices. The coffee was excellent. We definitely recommend the Upper House hotel to anyone looking for an old fashioned country house hotel in a quiet and elegant location. Thanks too all the staff, who made our stay all the better for their friendly and excellent service."

"Attended a wedding here and it was wonderful, staff were great, buffet was excellent, good variety of drinks on offer. A little expensive but in line with what you'd expect for this kind of venue. Plenty of free parking out front and easy to find with the sat-nav. Would recommend as a wedding venue but I didn't stay overnight so can't comment on the rooms."

"Great location and great price. Albeit a short stay perfect for a night stop. Nice building and grounds. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was varied and good quality. Room was ensuite, shared balcony (due to building design), and rather comfortable. Only minor criticism is the walls seemed a bit thin. Could hear next doors alarm clock in the morning. Investment in sound proofing wouldn't go a miss in the future. All in all though a far better option than the chain hotels in Stoke."

"A very charming place. As for a visitor from abroad, you can feel here like in real England. The location of the object is very peaceful and quiet. The facility itself, despite its age, has its own unique charm and is very clean and well-preserved. I can recommend it to everyone and no one should be disappointed with a stay here."

"The Upper House has been the best experience we have had in a long time. The rooms are clean and spacious, the bathroom is well equipped, but the most important thing is that the staff is extremely friendly and make you feel at home. The breakfast and dinner is amazing. So much eye for detail, taste and quality, unbelievable. The location where the hotel is situated is stunning. Beautiful views ...... thanks for an amazing stay !!!!"
