Three Horseshoes Country Inn
Peak District boundary stays with spa access
About this hotel
Three Horseshoes Country Inn sits on the A53 just outside the Peak District National Park boundary, five minutes' drive north of Leek and around thirty minutes from Stoke-on-Trent. Rooms include a flat-screen TV and tea and coffee facilities as standard, with some featuring a luxurious four-poster bed, whirlpool bath or hot tub for a more indulgent stay, and every room has an en suite bath or shower with a hairdryer and toiletries. Spa facilities are available for a surcharge, alongside high-quality restaurant dining, informal country-inn meals, and a terrace and garden with outdoor seating. The inn also caters for weddings and larger functions, and Buxton sits around ten miles away for a spa-town day trip beyond the property's own facilities.

Our take
This inn suits families or couples who want spa access and upgraded room features alongside a countryside base for Alton Towers, particularly those willing to pay a surcharge for a whirlpool bath or hot tub room. It works less well for a strict budget trip, since the spa and upgraded rooms both add cost beyond the base rate.
- ✓Book a room with a whirlpool bath or hot tub specifically if that upgrade is the reason you are choosing this inn.
- ✓Reserve spa access ahead of arrival, since it is available for a surcharge rather than included in every room rate.
- ✓Combine your stay with a day trip to Buxton, around ten miles away, for a spa town beyond the inn's own facilities.

Why guests love itGuests booking Three Horseshoes Country Inn for its spa access and upgraded rooms often treat the Alton Towers day as one part of a wider countryside break rather than the sole focus of the trip. The whirlpool bath and hot tub rooms draw particular comment from couples wanting a more indulgent stay alongside a family waterpark day. The surcharge for spa access is generally seen as reasonable given the quality of the restaurant dining included in the base stay.
