This property is very welcoming. Beautiful furnishings and rooms. Extremely neat, clean and tidy. This is not like any ordinary English pub. Staff very friendly and breakfast was great. We were very pleasantly surprised by this venue.

Our room was absolutely lovely! We booked a standard room and it was beautiful with wooden beams. The shower was great and the bathroom was spotless. We really enjoyed breakfast and all the staff were really lovely. We would love to stay here again!

Just a brief overnight on a business trip. Lovely character building. Decent size free car park. Single room was pleasant and comfortable. Location is in the town, so inevitably some traffic noise specially early morning. Take earplugs if that tends to disturb you. Very friendly staff and good breakfast available from 7am, which was handy as I was travelling further on for a meeting. Highly competitive b&b rate.

We really enjoyed our stay, lovely room, comfy bed, great shower and luxury coffee machine. The pub is very nice with fantastic breakfast. Great location. The only thing was the room was too hot, no way to turn off the heated towel rail in the bathroom, to be fair we should have just asked. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.

This place is really nice we had a signature room which was wonderful only small gripe was that restaurant closed very early when we stayed here and we had to go out. But Congleton has lots of good restaurants nearby we went to Orange Tree and it was great.
