We are ideally situated to access all of the Potteries attractions including the world famous china factories and factory shops the traditional names of Wedgwood, Spode, & Portmerion, but also some of the newer up and coming potters Emma Bridgwater, Lorna Bailey and the re-opening of Burleigh ware. If it is retail therapy that you are looking for, there are excellent shops in Newcastle, Hanley and Freeport. First class leisure and entertainment facilities are close by. We are within walking distance of the excellent New Vic Theatre and Newcastle's Vue multiplex cinema and a short distance from the cultural quarter of the City centre with the Victoria Hall and Regent Theatre.

If you are visiting the area on holiday or for an extended stay then it is very easy to explore further a field places such as the beautiful Peak District, or the historic cities of Chester and Shrewsbury or even Birmingham and Manchester. It is possible to visit most of these places by public transport too.

As we have lived in the area for a long time now we are able to provide lots of information about great things to see and do. We keep ourselves up to date by visiting places regularly. Hazel can tell you all the best Factory shops and how to find the bargains whether it's antiques, material or ceramics and John whose passion is golf can help to point you in the direction of the best Golf courses locally.
