Quick overnight stop on the way down the M6. Chosen because they have an EV charger and accept dogs, albeit for a £30 surcharge. Bit cheesed off at having to pay £12 for parking though. Room very nice and a good breakfast. Would stay again if passing

Stayed at this hotel as en route to Scotland and dog friendly. Staff were friendly and helpful. The added bonus was access to pool and spa facilities which you don’t often get when travelling with a pet. Good food also.
