“What stands out is the uncommon blend of a friendly pub atmosphere with the practical benefits of self-catering; the shared kitchen, complete with laundry, brings a welcome sense of independence to longer stays. I noted the attention to detail regarding guest safety and the provision of continental breakfast adds real value, particularly given its location near Stoke-on-Trent's attractions and convenient transport links. Its position above a lively pub means some rooms may experience noise, though the overall experience seems overwhelmingly positive.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often highlight the Sutherland Arms' spacious and well-presented rooms, some finding the rooms newly refurbished. While some have noted music from the pub can be heard until late, the hotel's location above the pub offers a nice place to relax with a wine, and it's conveniently close to London Road oatcakes and within walking distance of other pubs and curry houses. The value for money is excellent.

The check-in process was simple. My room was nice and neat (i especially liked the teddy on the bed!). Fresh towels were brought to my room on day two, and the staff supplied me with extra coffee. Nothing was too much trouble for them here.

I found street parking a bit difficult. I had to park a couple of streets away.
