Charlie's Cottage - 7mins to Alton Towers + Alpacas!

Cosy and comfortable Positive: We had a cosy 2 night stay. We had everything we needed. The hosts were responsive to our messages. The kids loved visiting the two alpacas in the field next door. Only 10 minutes away from Splash Landings. Had good food and service at The Bulls Head in Alton. Negative: WiFi was fine for phones and iPads but couldn’t use the fire stick.

Comfortable stay Positive: The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The Alpacas/Oscar were great too!

Positive: The cottage itself was lovely, just as described. The alpacas were so cute, the owner was friendly when we met him. Parking is easy, area is safe, close to Alton towers and short drive to corner shops and takeaways. (No delivery) Negative: When we arrived, the owners didn’t answer the phone after multiple tries, we had emailed and texted several hours before arrival. We had to walk to their private residence to check in and find out where the keys were, we didn’t want to do this as it’s PRIVATE property but we were getting cold in the rain and were very tired. Guests had let themselves into the cottage we were staying in and used all the rooms, including one of the beds. The owner asked the guests to leave, but no cleaning was done for us, so we checked into a dirty, used cottage. I’m a cleaner by profession so I cleaned the kitchen/dining area, did the dishes they left and the toilet after them. We also disposed of the rubbish they left in the bins after our departure.

Cute, unique & convenient Positive: Very cute little cottage very close to Alton towers. Small but made great use of the space & was very clean and tidy with the added attraction of the playground and alpacas. Quite pricey for one night but great little Easter treat for my family.

Positive: Fabulous spot, lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings
