All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Limited menu but the food was freshly cooked and good. Good breakfast menu again freshly cooked. Well placed for visits to Jodrell Bank and Little Moreton Hall. A good wifi connection which was free to use.

The staff were very attentive and helpful. The menu was a bit limited but the cooking was good. Little Morton Hall and Jodrell Bank are both nearby. We were in the annex (room 22) which was a bit on the small side with no chair though the decor was fine and the room well serviced.

The hotel was great value for money and extremely comfortable. The atmosphere on entering the property for the first time was brilliant and this was mainly due to the staff’s attentiveness and superb service !! We will definitely advise our friends to book in here if in the area !!
