I doubt you can go wrong for accomodation, although I did here one of the pubs in Cheadle only had cold water in their B&B pmsl! There is a big place in Alton which is nice, has a very modern bar underneath it but I'll be buggered if I can remember the name... will have to check. Cheadle is better if you want to go out and get a kebab, have a meal or go drinking tho.
