Approx Distance from Park: 2 min walk

Holyrood House
24 Albert Road
Tamworth
Approx Distance from Park: 2 miles
Room Types: Single / Double / Twin / Family
Prices (room): £27 - £65 (see website for latest pricing)
Comments:
They are very friendly, the prices are reasonable, the rooms are clean and tidy, and breakfast is pretty good - as a vegan I tend to notice when places make an effort to accomodate you. I had breakfast early on Sunday during my recent trip there.
The only thing you need to be careful of is to let them know approximately when you'll be arriving so that they can make sure there's someone there - they try to discourage people arriving late - after 9pm.

Uttoxeter ST14 5AA
Approx Distance from Park: 10 miles

Rating: 3/5
Comments:
A basic but comfortable hotel - however a minor niggles, the "fold out" bed is only 5ft long, so not really suitable for adults.

It's a Travelodge - very much a case of "you get what you pay for" - so expect a basic, but comfortable room. One word of warning, the food outlets in the adjacent service area close at 10pm.

It's a Travel Inn - the rooms look like those in every other Travel Inn - in other words, clean, smart and well maintained. Breakfast is a fairly expensive add-on charge, but the Beefeater restaurant next door (the "Monkey Puzzle") is excellent for an evening meal.
