Bed and Breakfast Accommodation near Stone

Why Stay in Eccleshall Instead of Stone?

Stone is wonderful for an afternoon stroll or a lunch stop, but Eccleshall offers a particularly appealing setting for your evening stay. Its lively High Street has a great choice of pubs, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities, while Eagle House sits just a five-minute stroll from the centre, giving you the convenience of having everything close by with a more peaceful setting to return to.

Spend the day exploring Stone, its canal and independent shops, then make the short journey back to Eccleshall and enjoy an evening without needing to get back in the car. The town’s historic High Street is compact, picturesque and full of character, making it easy to wander out for dinner or a drink.

After a straightforward 16-minute drive from Stone, you can park in our private off-road car park and leave your keys behind. A gentle five-minute stroll takes you into the heart of Eccleshall, where you’ll find a good choice of welcoming pubs, restaurants and cafés, all within an attractive historic market town setting.

Discovering Stone from Eagle House B&B

At around 16 minutes away by car, Stone makes an easy and rewarding day trip or half-day excursion during your stay. This vibrant canal town blends centuries of industrial heritage with independent shopping and waterside walks:

• Waterside Peace along the Canal: The Trent & Mersey Canal runs directly through Stone, giving the town its unique character. It is a wonderful spot to watch narrowboats, enjoy a peaceful waterside walk, and soak in the atmosphere before heading into the High Street.
• Charity Shop Treasure Hunting & Regenerative Tourism: Stone is one of our favourite spots for charity shop browsing. We love searching for pre-loved furniture, artwork, and unique curiosities to bring back to Eagle House. Giving pre-owned treasures a new life aligns naturally with our commitment to regenerative tourism and supporting local community causes.
• Our Local Lunch Recommendation: When visiting Stone, our favourite spot for coffee, brunch, or lunch is BEAR on the High Street. It has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind over exceptional food and coffee.
• A Rich Industrial & Monastic Heritage: Stone has been a vital trading post for centuries, shaped by the historic Stone Priory, the River Trent, and its pivotal role during the Industrial Revolution.
