“Crewe & Harpur balances its 17th-century coach house ambiance with modern needs; families find it particularly appealing, offering special menus and spaces for children. The outdoor garden, providing river views, is a scenic advantage, as is the quick access to roads leading to Alton Towers or Donington Park; I think it's a solid choice if you want traditional charm with practical amenities.”

excellent breakfastinexistent receptionbored kids
The breakfast was excellent. Room seven even had both a bath AND shower.
Check-in occurred at the bar. Only one staff member worked it on a busy night. We stood with our bags for at least ten minutes before being checked in, this was because they were busy serving alcohol, so frustrating. TV reception was nonexistent. The kids got bored.
