Somerford Park Hotels & Accommodation

Stoke-on-Trent is a small city with relatively affordable accommodation prices. While there are a number of Airbnb and other private rental options, the city is abundant with reliable mid-range hotel chains.

📍 Where To Stay

Spilling with amazing restaurants, bars, and clubs, Stoke City Centre is the perfect locale to explore the city’s range of cuisine and immerse into its booming social scene. From kitsch cafes to edgy clubs, there is something to suit every taste. Plus, the shops and a number of excellent historical landmarks are within a stone’s throw too.

To immerse in the region’s culture rather than its restaurants, bars, and clubs, head to the Hanley Cultural Quarter instead. This exciting area is home to some of the best museums, galleries, and theatres in Central England including the Potteries Museum and Regent Theatre.

If you want a bigger and bolder English city experience, consider staying in neighbouring cities Birmingham or Manchester instead. Both cities have exceptional reputations when it comes to everything from history and culture to arts and entertainment.

If nature calls your name, consider staying in a farmhouse, cottage, or estate in the serene countryside surrounding Stoke. This gives you the option to go for long country walks whenever you want whilst being just a few kilometres from the excitement of the city.

About Somerford Park

Somerford Park (or Somerford Park Farm) is a landscaped equestrian centre used for casual hacks as well as national riding competitions and is located between Congleton and Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, UK.

The Park is part of the grounds and estate of what once was Somerfield Hall, a country house built in 1720 for Peter Shakerley – whose family had owned the land since Henry III's reign – extended in the 1700s and 1800s before being demolished in 1926. After this, the land was mainly turned into farmland with some buildings such as the chapel and stables still standing as ruins. In 1976, an equestrian centre was founded on the land and is well-known as an excellent venue for national championships in the sport.

🍔 Food & Drink

There is an excellent shopping village on the site offering fantastic stalls of all kinds. The food court allows spectators to enjoy a bite to eat and something to quench their thirst.
