Vicarage

Liked: Staff were friendly and helpful. We were in a more budget room as it was a good price. The room looked a little worn, however the bathroom was lovely and clean, shower was great and the beds were very comfortable/ room was warm. The lamps above the beds didn't appear to work but main lights did. Location ideal just off the M6 and quiet. Only 30 minutes from our destination in Manchester. We were not told about what must be an adjoining door to another room. Tried to open the door and was locked. Then heard a dog barking very close other side of the door and then could hear everything people were saying in the adjoining room very clearly, so felt we couldn't talk / needed to speak v quietly.

Convenient location is a bonus.

Liked: Location is good.. staff are always pleasant. Linen is always very well laundered
Disliked: It is needing some refurbishment. Carpets in particular and paintwork.

Rough around the edges, could...

Liked: Breakfast was good, the bar was nice, cocktails good. The staff were friendly, they tried hard but I feel they were understaffed particularly during breakfast service when one person had to service a full restaurant.
Disliked: The room was a little rough around the edges, not as expected from seeing the photos online. Carpets seem like they need a good clean, walls need painting / touching up. Bed was uncomfortable and small, maybe a small double? The water pressure was odd and pulsed hot and cold in the shower. The fire alarm went off at 2am and we discovered that a guest had brought a lit cigarette into the bar - not sure why the bar was open at 2am…

Superb

Ok but needs updating

Liked: Good location to get to other places. Plenty of parking. Staff efficient and helpful.
Disliked: Rooms look very tired now compared to other times I’ve stayed.

Overall an enjoyable stay

Liked: Food and service was excellent, apart from the breakfast which was fairly average, and not great value for money
