The Upper House

Today, very much appreciated, the house has been converted into a luxurious privately owned hotel with many beautiful original features. In a peaceful, valued throughout, rural location, this country house was originally built in 1845. The house still retains its original charm, highly regarded, with extensive period decoration and traditional character. Clients appreciate the hotel is a former Wedgwood residence, and above all, built for Josiah Wedgwood's grandson, Francis Wedgwood. Some of the rooms have balconies and although there is no smoking in the house, very much appreciated, smoking is permitted on the balconies. There are 24 en suite rooms, valued throughout, all with TVs, telephones, tea/coffee making facilities and hairdryers. A full English breakfast is included in the price. Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout The Upper House. There is also a patio area and a conservatory at the rear of The Upper House, very much appreciated, both overlooking the beautiful gardens. There are 2 comfortable lounges and in the chillier winter months, valued throughout, guests can relax by the real log fire. Visitors appreciate the hotel has a quiet, highly regarded, restful location, but is just a few miles south of Stoke-on-Trent, within easy reach of the A50, the M6 motorway and the region’s major road network. A lift serves all floors. Free on-site parking is available for guests.
