We had planned 2 nights away in the Peak District but when we arrived the hotel admitted they had booked us in for the wrong weekend and then sent confirmation to the wrong e-mail. The hotel was fully booked up and we were faced with an apology and a 3 hour journey home. Luckily on our way home my daughter managed to book us into the Wheatsheaf Inn near Crewe for one nights stay.
Despite the pub being very busy we were warmly greeted and shown to the stable room. They booked us a table and we had a lovely evening meal.
For breakfast we chose a freshly cooked English breakfast which was very good.
So with the help of the staff at the Wheatsheaf Inn we managed to turn what looked to be a disaster into a really enjoyable one nights stay with an excellent meal and lovely breakfast. We were really pleased with the room, and for £70 a night including breakfast I couldn’t fault anything. Highly recommended.

Key worker getaway was the idea for this last minute night away. The room itself was tidy and well designed. The decor was rough around the edges unfortunatly which was dissapointing because the core was beautiful. The staff were extremely friendly on check in and out. The room had all required ammeneties besides a hairdryer which I usually carry and forgot. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower well powered. The room was supplied with tea and coffee amenities which when on an early work shift the next day was a bonus. The location of the property was conveniently located to other local pubs for food as the establishment is not currently serving food Monday Tuesday as it rebuilds after covid.
Overall not a bad stay, I saw high reviews for cleanliness but u fortunately I didn't see the standard mentioned with cobwebs on the lights, mildew on the shower and hairs around the sink and bath. A little more detail and this would have been given a higher review.
We did not stay for breakfast due to work commitments but the restaurant nd bar area was clean and tidy with food atmosphere.

From the minute we arrived, everything was wonderful. We were not really expecting much, we have stayed in all kinds of hotels around the uk, usually big hotels, but as we were meeting friends the next day on the Shropshire Canal, we looked for somewhere around that area, we came across this hotel and couldn't believe the price, well I am so pleased we booked here, we could not of been happier and pleasantly surprised. Just wonderful!! We had a easy check in.. staff were very attentive. We got taken to our room, we stayed in the stables.. wow what a beautiful room. The bed was so comfortable, there is a jacuzzi style bath, beautifully decorated, very clean. We enjoyed drinks outside looking out to the golf course. We booked a table for the evening, the restaurant is so beautiful, the decor was fabulous, it was a wonderful surprise. Well what can I say about the food.. absolutely unreal, I have never had a steak so beautifully cooked in my life (I have had a few) the portions were generous, you definitely wouldn't go out hungry. We slept so well, I actually didn't want to get out of bed, but so glad I did as the breakfast was again, beautifully cooked, you could tell it was all locally sourced. We both went for the full English it was all piping hot, definitely cooked to order. I would actually drive a hour an half to eat in there restaurant, all the staff were wonderful. Thank you so much to you all for making our stay a memorable one. We are looking to book again with friends. So hopefully be back very soon..

My daughter and I booked for a few days to enjoy an Alton Towers weekend after our summer plans and holidays and adventures had all been cancelled due to Covid-19. I researched and found this little gem of a hotel. Very reasonably priced, we upgraded to a deluxe room and were blown away to find a very boutique vibe room. Food was phenomenal - morning service was very hearty, cooked to order and locally sourced. And there are not enough compliments for the evening menu - great variety, all cooked fresh, and very reasonably priced. An absolute find, certainly would recommend the peaceful location and beautiful setting. Well done on making a trip away to salvage the summer an outstanding experience for my daughter and I.

Really impressed with the Wheatsheaf Inn! Despite the pub being relatively busy due to a large booking, the welcoming and attentive staff quickly came over to help when we walked in with our bags to check us in.
We stayed in the deluxe - the Paddock. What a pleasant surprise! The room lived up to its well presented photographs online. A large open-plan room with fresh tasteful decor and a lovely soft comfortable bed. The bathroom was immaculately clean and fitted with a large jacuzzi bath and mood lighting - perfect for the couples getaway that we wanted.
We had drinks and nibbles in the bar, which again is decorated to the same high standard. Food was bought over quickly and was very tasty.
We slept very well, it was warm, quiet and peaceful.
Breakfast was probably one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Great quality produce and cooked well.
Overall I am very impressed and would love to stay again if in the area.
Thank you!!

Today me and the fiance visited child free ( a rarity ) , had a lovely roast lunch just a shame the price has increased and you've stopped the 2 course offer , it seems kids don't eat free on sundays anymore .....this reflected in the near empty restaurant ....such a shame as it's our favourite place but will not be able afford to visit as often as we usually would . Can not fault the meal or service though

My partner and I stayed here on Sunday 15th Jan. Such a warm welcome on arrival, shown to our room that was really clean, warm, really nicely designed and extremely cosy/comfortable. We both had a Sunday roast and apple & berry crumble with custard for tea and the food was delicious. The restaurant and bar area is a really relaxed atmosphere and staff extremely friendly. Netflix on the tv in the bedroom was a bonus and even though the hotel is on a main road, I never heard the traffic. I found the bed really comfortable and the water in the shower lovely and warm. Breakfast in the morning was once again delicious. I would highly recommended this Inn and would definitely stay there again!

We stayed here for a few days. Although our room was facing a main road which was busy at times, there was double glazing so we were not unduly bothered by noise and had an interesting view over fields and the village cricket ground - a match was being played when we arrived. The pub is very old and although it has been modernised, this has been done sensitively and many old features, such as stained glass and a range remain. The room was very pleasant and although there were a few issues, these were dealt with promptly and with very good grace: it was obvious that staff here view any complaint as a learning experience, which was very refreshing. In fact, every member of staff was very helpful and friendly. In addition to breakfast, we ate there twice (unfortunately, they are closed for food on Mondays (doesn't apply to breakfast)!) Both times, we had a very nice meal. Gammon, Salmon and pasta dishes were cooked perfectly. Breakfasts were good and I must mention the black pudding (a lot of places get this wrong) - it was delicious. There is a golf course next door. We would definitely stay there again.

My usual Crewe accommodation was overbooked and so two nights in the Wheatsheaf were kindly arranged by the other place.
It is a little bit further out from Crewe where I’m working compared to what I’m used to although the commute to work on the far side of Crewe was just over 20 minutes. You do need to be careful on the tight country lanes especially in the dark.
The room allocated (Oakmere) was fabulous. It had recently been renovated and was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The mattress and bedding seemed new and it was as comfortable as anything I’ve encountered before. The bed linen was spotless, crisp and fresh.
A good size TV was mounted on the wall and it unusually came with all the internet channels such as Netflix and Prime which I didn’t even need to log into.
The bathroom was also of a high standard with an ample sized walk in shower.
I would have easily rated this accommodation as 5 star had it not been the absence of food. It seems they have recently parted with their chef and are only providing a restaurant service at the weekends. I believe this will change back to a 7 days service at the beginning of November.
This wasn’t a huge issue for me as the team provided a list of local restaurants who would deliver and invited me to use the restaurant to eat my food.
The staff I met were all very welcoming and helpful and went out of their way to make me feel at home. My thanks go out to Julie, Liv and Carl for making this a great stay.
I’ll definitely be back at some point.

My wife and I booked here as its near to Keele University and visiting the area. The Paddock room is outside of the main building and very quiet. The hotel is right on a B-Road buts it very quiet at night so traffic is a minimum. A lovely large room with equally large bed and the jacuzzi bath which was deep along with / rainfall shower & the mood lighting made it a very warm experience. The whole place was refurbished in 2017 so its no perfect after 5 years, but when you factor in a great breakfast and the car park / restaurant and facilities it's worth every penny for a short weekend stay

We heard no noise from the road when we stayed. The room frontages face away from the road. The extractor fan in the on suite is no noisier than any other and shuts off after an interval when the light is turned off.
There are more places to choose from in the Onneley area.
