Liz and her team run a very friendly, comfortable, hotel and bar. The food is the best in Prestbury and the Cocktails are superb. We slept incredibly well and left feeling very chilled. We stayed for a visit to Jodrell Bank but may well just come back to chill

Great find for dog owners

Great little find on the outskirts of Manchester. Very dog friendly and welcoming. Great breakfast included. Room we had (Deluxe Double) was as per the photos. Just a little shame the TV was not working, but they did apologise for the known fault and offered free drinks as recompense.

Outside my room very smoothing at night. A bit of our industrial Heritage, the Bridge Hotel has a great deal of history, which gas been very well incorporated into the Hotel.

Short break to visit Tatton Park show

Overall a comfortable stay. Good outside area for eating and very friendly staff. Room was in the annex part and was ok, but bathroom and parts of room totally in need of refurbishment. Main building area, including reception and bar/restaurant were lovely and maybe rooms in this area were better.

Lovely hotel, fantastic staff

The staff were so helpful. There was a slight problem with the electricity in our room and we were upgraded to a beautiful suite. Any problems were sorted out immediately, and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was great too. Will definitely be back.

An ideal break in a great hotel

Hard to find any fault at all: our welcome was very genuine, the room was excellent, the meals were excellent or good, and the staff were unfailingly cheerful and efficient. We had two small issues, both dealt with extremely quickly and without fuss. We don't hold the hotel or the staff responsible for the weather during our stay!

Not terrible but…

I imagine this hotel was nice… 20 years ago when the photos advertising it were taken. Such a shame because it’s a nice building in a lovely area. I can’t speak for the original building itself, maybe those rooms are better kept, but we were placed in the outbuilding across the way and the rooms were incredibly tired and shoddy, with chipped paintwork and soiled carpet. The toilet was stained and there were no toiletries in the bathroom. On arrival, we had to use the telephone as instructed on the main desk to call for someone to come and check us in. Both staff members we encountered looked incredibly young (not an issue in itself of course) however when my partner went to alert the young girl on reception that we had needed to make a police call the night before due to what sounded like DV in the room next door to us, it was clear that this staff member was highly inexperienced. They did not ask any further questions or enquire as to the safety of the room occupant next door. Just said ‘Oh dear’ and left it at that…? Frequent visitors to the area but not sure we would stay again.

The staff were really nice, the food in the evening and at breakfast was good. It's such a shame that the room we had was awful. The whole of the separate hotel block feels like it's made of cardboard! The noise is awful - we got no sleep. We were in a room on the lower floor and the whole upstairs creaks when anyone moves a muscle. Worse still, every text message that anyone in the building received vibrated through our room. We could also hear the person next door snoring as the stud walls are paper thin. I think all of the water in the building passed through our room and there was constant hammering of the water starting and stopping which was frequently accompanied by extractor fan noise. The room was decorated in very dark colours and poorly lit . I guess the ceilings were painted in the same colour as the walls to hide the office like tiled ceiling. It was impossible for my wife to do her make up in the lighting. There were 5 hair pains on the floor so I guess the room hadn't been hoovered. The bathroom towel rail had leaked all over the floor by the time we got back to the room after our meal. The room looked quite shabby - things like painted window handles and missing basin sealant and the toilet wouldn't flush well. The room was also very very hot. Such a shame as it's a nice location and the staff were very pleasant.
