We stayed overnight to enjoy the Churnett valley railway and found the hotel to be no more than a glorified pub masquerading as a hotel . Rooms were adequate though for £85 I was expecting more and the food was poor but overpriced. Breakfast was somewhat of a joke with one poor lady in a cleaners tabard trying to serve... More

We stayed here during Feb half term whilst visiting Alton Towers which was 15mins away. There were 2 famillies with a total of 6 children aged 5yrs to 9yrs. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The family room had a seperate room for the children. The patio doors opened up onto a patio and grassed area. The bar area... More

We stayed at Long Barn Farm at Bank Top Farm for a girly weekend, and took a walk to this pub for our usual Saturday pub lunch. The staff were lovely, very accommodating when they were asked if the rugby could be shown. The food was lovely, good value for money and very generous sizes. They even have a courtesy... More

This is a lovely village pub with a wonderful atmosphere and very helpful staff (excellent customer service). The menu choices are many and varied with something for everyone whether you want a restaurant meal, Sunday lunch etc... The wait is minimal and appreciated because you know it is fresh and you can really taste the quality. Although this was off... More

Unbelievable!! We stayed on 17th and 18th August 2012 - booked 6 months previously on the internet - paid for a 4 poster room at £85 per night. Instead, we got a dull, utilitarian room overlooking a flat roof - it didn't even have a chair in room! Our door key unlocked ALL the rooms!! Our friends door key unlocked... More

We stayed here as part of our family weekend to Alton Towers, The Railway Inn is a perfect place to stay with it being just 4 miles from Alton towers, the room was spacious and very clean. We would definately stay here again and would recommend it to anyone, it was all perfect.
