Generally great.

Lovely hotel, clean and comfortable. A little expensive but generally worth the money. Excellent food and polite helpful service. Couple of things let it down, coffee machine in room not working and TV remote did not work until switched out batteries in remote.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Negatives: The key card would not work on my room. They provided me either a key in the end. The room was very stuffy. It needs airing more regularly. It was a room over the bar and so it was noisy. They provided earplugs in the room...so that was a bit of a clue! The cooked breakfast was lukewarm. Positives: The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was good.

Lack of personal touch

On arrival nobody on reception, but Hotel busy doing Sunday Lunch. When we found somebody we were shown to our room, which we were not keen on, as no window, just skylight. So we were shown 2 other rooms and chose room 3. Exceptionally clean. Asked about food for an evening meal, but nothing was made clear as to what we could get to eat or when, just told plenty of places to eat out and about. Nobody about next morning at breakfast had to search again for staff,definitely a lack of staff. No orange juice had to ask for some, this happened on 2 occasions. Breakfast ok. Key stopped working, found somebody to re set it,still did not work, so cleaner offered to get it sorted. Cleaners were exceptional. Very efficient and polite. After staying for 4 nights, we checked out, but nobody asked us at anytime about our stay. Nobody was interested, we requested a telephone number as we left, in case there was a problem with the car parking, as the gentleman that did it for us said, if we got a problem, when we got home to ring, but we were told to ring the number on the website, when I explained that we tried that to book the hotel and we had no option to speak with anybody, just book online. Only small niggles, but for the price of our stay, would have liked to have felt a bit like a valued Customer and had anybody asked us about our stay, we could have given them the chance to respond, instead of having to write this review.

Overall a really nice place to stay, it’s a bit of a maze getting to the rooms, could be because I was tired. The Rio Was lovely, as was breakfast but the coffee machine find t work properly (nightmare for me) and the hairdryer with really poor. May seem insignificant to some but important to me.

A mixed bag. Could be exceptional

We had a bit of trouble finding anyone when we arrived so stood like lemons at the bar for ages waiting for someone. At breakfast there was one poor person trying to do everything and the only tables free had dirty dishes on from the previous guests. The evening meal in the bar area was fairly nice but not amazing. My pie was lukewarm rather than hot but the vegetables were really nicely cooked. The taster menu in the restaurant at the back was really good and nice that you could take your own drinks. The room we had was beautiful and felt really luxurious but it was a shame there was a really strong smell of drains! We mentioned it and was told the drains had been clogged so they had recently cleared them and the smell was gradually going but it did linger for the whole of our stay. The street outside was quite noisy when the windows were open but it was really quiet once we shut them at night. The beds were very very comfortable and we slept really well. The location is great for visiting the potteries, Trentham Gardens, Jodrell Bank.... so there is plenty to do in the area

Lovely hotel. Stayed in a luxury room; fitted the description. Well appointed room, modern, comfortable, large bathroom with his & hers sinks, and open walk in shower. Exceptionally comfortable bed. Breakfast was absolutely perfection. Excellent hotel, would definitely return if I was in the area.
