Great Overnight Find

If wanting a no thrills place to stay near Manchester Airport this is the one! I used it overnight, slept well & had plenty of time for easy 10 min drive to airport. If solo or couple, this is a great find. Reception person was friendly & had plenty of knowledge of local area.

Don’t waste your money

Wouldn’t recommend it, especially not as a woman travelling solo. Checked in and out the same evening! Final straw was when I went to tell reception there was urine all over the toilet seat and I got shrugged off with “well men stay here too”...

As I walked into the room there was a very strong smell of damp and mound. I woke up at midnight to loud tapping, when I turned on the light there was water pouring down the wall and hitting the carpet. I put a towel on the floor however this did not prevent the carpet as there was so much water. I had to move the bed as I was getting wet from the water coming through the roof. This continued all night, and then at 4am water started to come through the ceiling onto the wardrobe. As I left the property there was no one at reception to speak to about this, and there was a sign asking to just leave the key on the shelf. I will not be recommending this property to anyone, I will never stay there again, I am going to do my best for a full refund, and I would say that it is not safe for guests to stay.

Shocking lodge

By far the worst lodge I have been to. Our bed was wet when we went in and the towels so when I asked to have it changed, apparently I were to be blamed for it? Shocking service too. Their English was poor and at one point I had to get a polish interpreter (thank god I found one) to come and translate my problem to them. Never will I go there again and I will not advise you to go there either.

The Handforth Lodge utanför Manchester

Vi hade inte förväntat oss något lyxhotell precis, eftersom det var ganska billigt, men vi blev ändå besvikna. Att rummet var slitet och inredningen gammaldags spelade ingen roll, men städningen var under all kritik! Badrummet var så äckligt att vi knappt ville använda det, och vi vågar inte ens tänka på vad som bodde i den tjocka heltäckningsmattan i rummet! För övrigt var ägarna jättetrevliga och mycket hjälpsamma när vi behövde beställa en taxi till flygplatsen tidigt nästa morgon. Frukosten var enkel, men där har vi inget att klaga på. Vi avråder dock från att välja detta B&B pga att det var så fruktansvärt smutsigt och illa skött.

Sadly not impressed

Sadly this B&B didn't live up to expectations. The 'housekeeper' was pleasant but english was not her native language and my husband did not understand her. The floorboards on the stairs and in the room were so creaky and loose we feared they would not last. The rooms, although were very clean, were tired. The shower was lethal! Once the water had eventually heated up it was impossible to reduce and would have scalded me if I had not turned it off immediately. The shower tap was so hot it almost burnt me. I had to rinse off the soap from the sink. Thank goodness I didn't wash my hair! There didn't seem to be anyone available in the evening to report this to before we went out. The bed was comfy enough but the pillows were very hard and although I wasn't expecting the Hanging Gardens of Babylon as a view, I didn't appreciate the rubble of a building site. We expected a buffet breakfast but this was limited to cereal and toast with hard boiled eggs and cheese. No marmalade for the toast! Coffee was instant and the 'juice' offered tasted artificial and powdered. Finally it took almost 15 minutes for someone to answer the reception bell when we wanted to check out. I had expected someone to be available during this time.

Very charming spot

This small, family run hotel was very charming, spotlessly clean. The people running it were very nice. It is close to Manchester, but you need a car really to make staying there practical.
