Stoke on Trent has 47 remaining bottle kilns all of which are listed buildings. As many are situated on canals for ease of transport, a little wander along the 'cut' can reveal these historic beauties.

Take a visit to Middleport Pottery where you can enjoy a wander around the historical site, enjoy a cuppa in the cafe, and take a short walk along the canal to Westport Lake.

This one at Price & Kensington in Longport is one of the earliest surviving examples of fire-proofed building construction in the pottery industry and is a freestanding, updraught, hovel oven.

☔ It's raining, it's pouring 🎶

There are lots of things to do locally if there's wet weather during your stay at Spring Cottage.

If you fancy a fun swim and whizzing down the slides, Splashlandings Alton Towers is a 40 minute drive away and Waterworld is closer still being at the local Festival Park.

We have 3 cinemas within a short drive showing the latest films Cineworld Stoke-on-Trent Vue in Newcastle under Lyme and Odeon Festival Park.

You could of course just cosy up by one of our log fires and relax.
