Jo was really welcoming and made us feel right at home, we had local speciality for breakfast and it was top notch. Room was lovely and comfortable and clean, and we had a great sleep, were well rested for our days in alton towers. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had a lovely two-night stay to visit Alton Towers and our Beehive stay was perfect. The location is idyllic, tucked away in a little village along the river, whose sound provided great ambiance through our open window (we stayed in the Premier King). It is also extremely convenient for visiting the theme park, less than two miles away with our dinner location of choice for both nights (The Star at Cotton) smack in the middle. We were greeted by Jo, who provided tremendous, friendly customer service throughout our stay including during breakfast, during which we enjoyed high quality English breakfasts w/ coffee, juice, and homemade jams. Our room also had a kettle w/ tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk, water bottles, biscuits and a fridge. The room is very comfortable and accomodating, having clearly been renovated while keeping its classic charm (smart TV, plenty of outlets incl. USB chargin ports, etc). I really appreciated the nice, large shower at the end of a couple long days. We'd love to stay again and expect to do so. I doubt there is a more relaxing, tidy, tasty, comfortable, convenient and afforable place to stay in the area. The personal touch from our hosts just made everything a little bit better.

Excellent B&B with a clean and comfortable room and a lovely host, who was very friendly and has lots of knowledge about Alton Towers.

We found a little gem!!! Spotlessly clean, modern and spacious rooms with period features, which have been extremely well thought out by Jo and Steve during their renovations at this lovely old property. The beds were very comfortable, with brilliant white bedding, the towels were also brilliant white and very fluffy and the shower was great after a long, hot day at Alton Towers (and a few drinks at the local pub, which is a very short walk away!) The breakfast, cooked by Steve, was excellent. My husband enjoyed the full english and my daughter and I loved our first Staffordshire Oat Cakes, with cheese and bacon - gorgeous! Jo was lovely and welcoming and has lots of knowledge about the area to share -and her homemade jam with our breakfast was fab. We were there for our daughters birthday and Jo also left a card in our room from her and Steve, which was such a lovely gesture and very much appreciated. We cannot recommend The Beehive enough and we will definitely return - thank you so much for such a fabulous stay!

Jo & Steve were excellent hosts! Very knowledgeable of the area and the activities which we could consider during our stay. Faultless, will visit again.

Great location for Alton Towers. Clean, freshly refurbished and an excellent breakfast. Single beds in the Twin we stayed in were 2'6" beds (3' would be nicer) but perfectly comfortable. Electric shower was new and bathroom spotless. Would be nice if the shower was pumped so had more pressure but this is just me being picky. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely quaint stay

This is a lovely place to stay. Anyone who books will not be disappointed.

Super break, lovely hosts, great breakfast, lovely position.

Amazing hosts, amazing room and amazing breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Had a lovely welcome from Jo who was very knowledgable on area and Alton Towers theme park which was our reason for staying. Alton Towers was a short easy drive around 10 minutes. Rooms had everything you needed very clean and to top your stay, a freshly cooked good quality breakfast. Hope to come again next year. Stella from kent.

its the second time staying at the beehive and the owner is very friendly

Wonderful small B&B with friendly hosts. Interesting building and village. Lovely walks from the door. Convenient for Alton Towers (via some small roads). No dinner served but food available within a short drive or delivery from nearby takeaways (information available from hosts or website). Small car park within grounds and nearby parking for larger vehicles. Highly recommended. Room scrupulously clean with daily housekeeping.

Jo was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond every step of the way. Before arrival over the phone, she offered a later check in than normal due to my long travel time (approx 4.5hrs) and gave me great information about Alton Towers before arrival. On arrival we were greeted with a birthday card for my daughter who was turning 10 during our stay, which was only mentioned breifly during a phone call before travelling there. Jo also helped me sneak around with my daughter's presents and kindly put them on display in the dining room ready for my daughter to walk in to in the morning. The room was impeccably clean, warm and cosy. The shower was great. Towels were soft. Breakfast was absolutely amazing with the most perfect poached eggs I've ever eaten! (Thank you Steve!) And Jo's homemade jams were fantastic! She even gave us some homegrown apples to take home with us. The area itself was stunning too. Plus lots of places to eat and drink near by.

Short weekend stay to go to Alton Towers. Guest house is very cosy and rooms are very pretty and comfortable. Breakfast really good and so was the host. Recommend every day of the week.

Unique quiet property with access to loads of walking routes and nice pubs/restaurants The staff are amazing, breakfast fantastic and couldn't recommend more. We will be back.

Great location yet quietly tucked away from it all to make the stay peaceful before all the entertainment around the area.

On first arrival the place we met Jo and she was very welcoming and lovely and the room was very clean! We stayed here for 4 days as we was visiting Alton towers resort and Jo knew a lot of information about the place what’s was helpful! The breakfast was lovely aswell I would really recommend the place too others! Thank you so much Jo

We stayed here two nights for our visit to Alton Towers and it was the perfect location. The hosts Jo and Steve provided excellent service; their restaurant recommendations were brilliant and their breakfast was delicious. The room was clean and very comfortable and we would highly recommend.

Immaculate guest house and the owners were so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying there.
