Where to stay locally

We start our training at 08:30 sharp and you can't afford to miss any of the wisdom so we suggest you stay overnight locally if you have more than a couple of hours to drive.

Some customers have recommended The Prospect House in Cheddleton and others have stayed at  the Premier Inn in Leek.  We are on the edge of the Peak District and there is plenty of accommodation in local pubs.

Let us know where you are staying and we might join you for dinner...
