we stayed at this hotel over the May bank holiday. The hotel was busy with people staying inc some families. Its set in a very peaceful location in the middle of a large wood just off the main road. Cant hear any traffic noise, just the birds and wildlife in the surrounding woods and gardens, which are well amintained. The... more

This hotel had an excellent location and had a pleasant atmosphere. The lady on the bar was very pleasant and gave us plenty ideas of where to go the next day. The hotel is in close proximity to Cheshire Oaks the local designer outlet, this is well worth a visit and has many nice restaurants to go to including Prezzo,... more

Held back on this one as an ex school friend block booked for a reunion but....I have stayed there before for a wedding and it was ok, roll on seven years and nothing had been revamped or maintained. The place was rundown, smelled everywhere of damp and whilst my room was huge the tiles in the double basin bathroom were... more

This was what I would call a lovely country hotel. The room was a good size, and overlooked the lawns, which was nice, and had good toiletries, was very clean, and tea coffee etc. However, the double bed was the hardest bed I have ever slept on. Its was like rocks. I asked the maid for an extra duvet to... more
