Good

Liked: Nice rooms, good location for Manchester Airport with good partnership with a cab company. Breakfast really good.
Disliked: The bar food was expensive for what you get. Room was cold on arrival (Dec winter night) but does have working Radiators that you need to turn on when you arrive.

Beautiful hotel, comfortable stay

Liked: The property was clean and spacious, our room was huge and despite what some would see as dated decor. it added to the history. The grounds were well kept and pretty, the bed was huge and comfortable
Disliked: Went to attend breakfast at 10:10 (not pre-paid, finished at 10:30) and there was nobody serving and no tables clean so we left again. We waited around for a couple of minutes but it was awkward.

Superb

Disliked: good staff

Very good

Comfortable hotel in rural location...

Liked: Great location for us as rural but still close enough to motorway for an overnight stop on a long journey. I think we had a room upgrade as larger and better located within the building than I had expected. Bathroom was contemporary and spacious and with both a jacuzzi type bath and a rain shower over. Staff were all very pleasant and friendly. Breakfast was delicious with a wide choice of both continental and cooked options. We also had a bar meal on the evening we arrived which was much better choice and standard than I had expected.
Disliked: The bar floor still had the remnants of glitter and tinsel from seasonal celebrations. We stayed just after new year. However, given that they had not only had very busy Christmas and New Year Celebrations in the building but also 5 weddings between the two which must have been a challenge. Due to Covid, the weddings were mostly ones that had previously been postponed due to lockdowns. Bearing in mind the challenging week they had just had the staff were amazingly cheerful and friendly so a floor that was not as clean as it could have been can be forgiven!

Not what I expected

Liked: The bed was comfortable
Disliked: The room was very dirty and dusty which is very disappointing especially due to COVID I would have thought everywhere would have been super clean. Also the shower didn?t work well and nor did the cold water tap.
