I don't know anything about hotels or B&B's in the area but from the following website http://www.stoke.gov.uk/city/tourism/ there are two bus services--the Wedgewood Express and the regular bus. We will be in the area around September 2-3. We will be daytripping from Chester and will have a rental car. From there we will have four days in the Cotswolds and then down to Bath for a few days before taking the train into London for five days.

My husband is quite worried about our day in Stoke-on-Trent. He's afraid that there will be nothing left in the stores when I leave. Lucky for him, I'd rather take another trip than wash china.
