Excellent experience. Ideally placed if you travel up and down the country and very comfortable. Dinner excellent, breakfast too. The sitting room is very relaxed, and there is a resident cat who doesn't bother you at all.

An excellent property in the beautiful countryside with gorgeous gardens obviously looked after by enthusiastic gardeners. 🌳🌹🪻🪷
The decor is fitting to this country mansion and the whole house is very clean, and my bedroom was exceptionally clean and well stocked with soap, shampoo etc. and my bed very comfortable giving me a good night’s sleep 💤
The food offers a wide range for everyone’s taste and the quality is far better than many city 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in!
The staff are all professional, courteous, polite and helpful and I would like to compliment Jack (a young restaurant waiter), who made me feel very welcomed and was very helpful ensuring I received a good breakfast (as I have medical issues).
This young man is an asset to this lovely hotel and as a retired Regional HR Manager I see lots of potential in him to rise up - so GM watch out!! 😅
Many thanks to everyone from housekeeping to GM for making my brief visit keen to return for longer.
👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Staff were amazing, location was great and the house was very charming.

This is an outstanding property in a quiet, picturesque part of Stoke-on-Trent (the village of Barlaston). Morgan at Reception on Tuesday afternoon 15/7/25 was fantastic… very helpful, very pleasant! Dinner was very nice…and the wait staff pleasant and efficient! Our room was well appointed and beds very comfortable, with a nice ensuite and shower. This property exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend this property! John & Suzanne Teague, Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia.
Our second time at the Upper House and it didn't disappoint - we had a comfortable stay (in the same room as on our first visit!), and the food was as good as we remembered. We enjoyed the gardens in bloom and the walks from the doorstep. I'm sure it won't be our last visit.
Quiet rural location in a converted country house. There are a variety of room choices, all include breakfast. The restaurant has some great choices for breakfast. Dinner menu is also good. There’s a cosy little bar in the hotel and other pub and dining options are a short drive away. I have stayed here around 10 times and it is my go-to choice in the area.
Wonderful welcome and stunning grounds and views. Excellent breakfast

Lovely location but paper walls
Lovely location. Service is very good and friendly. Unfortunately the rooms are small and walls are thin - we heard conversations olin next rooms up until 3a.m plus. Pose of adjacent showers and toilets. Not a place fora restful sleep.
Staying at the Upper House Hotel was a most enjoyable few days , very clean and comfortable room, food excellent, and staff very friendly. Hotel in beautiful grounds. Would recommend.
