Perfect stay with lots of little thoughtful extras

From the moment we arrived staff were lovely. The room was perfect with lots of nice, thoughtful touches. Tea and coffee was in plentiful supply and more was available at reception alongside fresh milk from the fridge in little glass bottles and fruit. The room was clean with plenty toiletries. The breakfast was amazing. All freshly cooked with prime ingredients. Nothing not to like about this place.

I stayed on a 4 night business trip to Manchester. Room was functional without being luxurious. Mattress was a bit too firm for me and pillows basic. Breakfast was excellent. Great quality and choice. Overall very happy with my stay and would definitely recommend

Good stay... great location.

Good reception and support... Clean. Nice touch with mini fridge at reception providing flasks of fresh milk together with Back-up tea/coffee etc. Excellent breakfast... Only downside was a dysfunctional shower... rain-shower/hand-shower operation needs maintenance... must have been like it for ages. Annoying detail that was avoidable.

MARK

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness

Cleanliness lets down an otherwise good stay

We are concerned that the price we paid through Hotels.com was over £40 more than the rack rate displayed behind the reception counter . By that time it was not able to cancel the booking and rebook. There was a messy part of the garden visible through the window on the main staircase - an uncoiled pile of hosepipe and a badly maintained/ badly tended/ partially dead bush. Our shower had lots of orange mildew staining in the grout in the area near the shower head end of the cubicle- whereas the other end had clean grout. This did not look very hygienic at all.

Excellent place to stay

We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful time. The hotel itself is excellent, spotlessly clean, with lovely spacious rooms and very comfortable beds. Breakfast met our expectations, offering everything from a full English to vegetarian options, all served with very good and polite service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will most definitely return. That said, we did encounter a few issues that could be easily addressed to improve the guest experience: Upon arrival, there was no one at reception, just a notice, we went to the pub outside to find someone. Perhaps a buzzer or a way to call the person on duty would make this process more convenient. We weren’t informed that we needed to hang the "PLEASE CLEAN" sign outside for room service.(possibly because the person was very friendly and we were chatting a lot) As a result, no one came to check on the room, which was mainly for bins and fresh towels. The room was freezing cold when we arrived. While the heating worked well once turned on, it took a few hours to warm up. It might be helpful to ensure the heater is turned on prior to a guest's arrival, especially during colder weather. We hope this feedback is helpful, and we’re looking forward to visiting again soon

The check in staff helpfully arranged breakfast to be delivered to my room as I had to leave before service began in the pub; and the morning staff quickly arranged a taxi when I realised that the Saturday bus times were different than weekdays.

Very nice and comfortable hotel in a great location. The rooms are very nice and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom's are nicely appointed and the shower was excellent. The breakfast included with the stay needs a little attention and management, as over the three days of my stay, it was quite inconsistent. The poached eggs I could have used to play golf with, and you are only served half of a slice of black pudding, which I wasn't sure was for my health benefit, or cost reduction. Either way, it didn't send the best of messages and look. The pub has great food and is a great social point for gatherings. I would suggest the trash can outside the entrance door be emptied more frequently, as it was full and overflowing during my stay. It looked unsightly, and was never cleaned out. Overall, it's a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone.
