Amazing hotel - can highly recommend it for a special occasion or just a weekend get away. Stayed for 2 nights, and we were taken such good care of. Andrea in the reception gave us a warm welcome and staff in general was very accomodating. Great breakfast, good location and the interior of the hotel is worth a visit by itself. Will definitely come back when returning to Mamchester.

Booked this for my husband’s 55th birthday and they were very accommodating. Premises were clean software exceptionally polite and accommodating. Only downside is that the rooms for families are caught for walk out especially for transporting luggage quite a few steps if you have a lot of luggage and children to manage Otherwise, we will definitely consider coming back
