About Betley Court
Betley Court is a Grade II* listed Georgian country house in the village of Betley, on the border of Staffordshire and Cheshire. First built in 1716, it sits within formal gardens originally laid out by the landscape designer William Emes, with three acres of woodland around it.
Within the house are two apartments we look after: the Dovecotery Suite, a quiet retreat for two, and Dingle View, a freshly renovated apartment for six. Book one for a weekend away, or both together when family or friends are travelling with you.

A few minutes’ walk through the village. A proper local with cask ales, rotating guest beers and regular quiz and music nights. Drinks only, so pair it with supper elsewhere.

About a mile down the road. Open fires, a deck overlooking the garden and pond, and a regularly changing menu. Coeliac UK accredited, so a good choice for gluten-free guests. Worth booking at weekends.

Tucked away on Den Lane, a traditional country inn known locally for generous, home-cooked food. Closed on Mondays and busy most evenings, so book ahead.
