The Upper House is a hotel in Stoke on Trent that pairs a quiet rural setting with easy access to the A50 and the M6 motorway. Originally built in 1845, the house carries the character of a former Wedgwood residence, with period details and traditional touches that give the stay a sense of place. It is also a wedding venue, so the atmosphere can shift with the calendar, but the setting remains rooted in calm grounds and a slower pace. Inside, the rooms are designed for straightforward comfort, with en suite bathrooms, TVs, telephones, tea and coffee making facilities, and hair dryers. Some rooms also have balconies, which add a private spot to step outside where available. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the hotel, and the overall experience feels practical as well as polished. Shared spaces are part of the appeal here. You can settle into one of the lounges, warm up beside the real log fire in colder months, or spend time in the patio area, conservatory, and gardens at the back of the house. Breakfast is included, and the hotel also offers a restaurant and bar, along with parking, an elevator, laundry, and wheelchair accessible features. If you are traveling with children, the property is child friendly, and there is an electric vehicle charging station on site. The Upper House feels composed and restful, with enough convenience to make arrival easy and enough original character to stay memorable.

The Upper House Reviews

Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The building was beautiful inside and out (Barlaston has always been a special place for me). The food was excellent and all the staff were great.
Negative: The room we stayed in was right above the main entrance and that heavy door was really loud when it shut. There was an event on during the first night so the door was constantly opening and closing. Not as much of an issue during the second night though so this was the only negative experience.
Summary: Excellent experience. Would definitely stay again.
