Where to stay in Bentilee
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Hanley and Longton flank the estate. Bentilee itself is housing rather than hotels, so the room goes in Stoke-on-Trent while the estate stays a place to walk, past St Stephen's Community Church and out toward the Simfields moated site. The streets run parallel with Fenton.
Anyone splitting time across the city can book in Stoke-on-Trent and still reach the Lawn Farm moated site and two ponds on an ordinary local run.

About Bentilee
What are the main landmarks in Bentilee?
Two moated sites survive here. The Simfields moated site and the Lawn Farm moated site and two ponds are the earthworks the record attaches to Bentilee, and St Stephen's Community Church stands as the one building beside them. Those three exhaust Bentilee's record.
For museums or galleries the estate looks to Hanley and Longton, the towns on either side, while its own interest sits in those enclosures and the church.
What is the history of Bentilee?
The estate came without a charter. Bentilee reaches the record as a housing estate in Stoke-on-Trent, in Staffordshire, England, set between Hanley and Longton and running parallel with Fenton, with no charter date attached to any of it. The earthworks carry the rest.
What the heritage list keeps under Bentilee's name are two moated enclosures rather than any dated building, and St Stephen's Community Church is the single church on the roll.
