Potbank Aparthotel
Self-catering ease near Trentham Estate
About this hotel
Potbank Aparthotel offers relaxed, industrial-style quarters with a kitchenette, free parking and free Wi-Fi, around ten minutes by taxi from Trentham Estate and a few minutes' walk from a Turkish grill for the nights you'd rather not cook. It's built for families staying more than a night or two who want the option to make a simple breakfast or dinner in the room rather than eat out every meal, without giving up the bar on site for an evening drink. The industrial-style setting reflects Stoke-on-Trent's pottery heritage rather than a generic hotel look, which gives it a bit more character than the standard chain options nearby. A bar downstairs covers the evenings you'd rather not cook, and free Wi-Fi throughout keeps the whole self-catering setup genuinely easy to manage.

Our take
This suits a family staying multiple nights who wants a kitchenette and free parking, and is happy splitting time between Water World and Trentham Estate. It's not the pick for a single-night stopover, where a standard hotel room without self-catering makes more sense. The kitchenette and free parking together suit a family staying three nights or more who'd rather cook some meals than eat out every day.
- ✓Bring basic groceries for the kitchenette on arrival, there's no on-site restaurant beyond the bar here.
- ✓Book ahead if staying more than three nights, as this smaller aparthotel has fewer rooms than the city's big chains.
- ✓Pair the stay with a Trentham Estate visit, it's a reasonable taxi ride away and a good second day out.
