    Absolutely loved this place and the lady host was very attentive to any questions or needs. The lady literally went above and beyond to accommodate my needs even though it was inconvenient for her. Very grateful!

    A very eclectic and bohemian style that was refreshing. A real home rather than a show property.

There are 4 seating areas, including a library/music room, a large kitchen diner, and conservatory overlooking a good sized part-walled garden. The Inn has are two working wood burning stoves. We appreciate that CV19 has changed holiday planning.

We used to live at the Old Castle Inn, and have very happy memories of the house and village We work in the NHS and when we moved south we were unable to sell, so have become accidental holiday rental business owners. We appreciate that CV19 has changed holiday planning.

On the edge of the Peak District, Alton is a beautiful village with many lovely walks on the doorstep. It has 5 pubs, most of which offer excellent food and welcome dogs. There is a post office and late night mini supermarket. The Inn is less than 5 minutes away from Alton Towers, but you can not see or hear the theme park from the village.
