Good countryside getaway.

Parking can be difficult to find on weekends, but overall, you need a car to be staying here as the nearest food options are at least a 5 min drive away. The bathroom is tiny, and the room can ve quite dusty.

Breakfast was poor, room was great, bar was very noisy (but not atmosphere just very noisy!). Limited selection at breakfast and average at best service at breakfast made for a disappointing experience. Good location for airport, 15min drive. Lots of parking.

Lovely hotel, great staff

A lovely hotel and spa, really superb staff. Lovely room, really clean and spacious. I would go back. However, the rooms are not soundproofed so lots of door slamming and other people’s tv sounds. The spa was fine one day but then rammed the next which was not massively relaxing! (But not sure you can do much about that). I come from london and was surprised that the drinks were more expensive here than at home!

Average

Very average. Evening meal was good, breakfast is poor. Beds are so soft you sink into them. Service during day at the bar is super super slow. Staff engagement is either very nice or totally uninterested. Overall experience to price ratio is poor.

Great location for Knutsford. Parking was a little tight but doable. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was wonderful. Enjoyed having use of the pool. Room accessibility for guests with mobility needs could be a little better. Fresh milk available as self serve on each floor for tea and coffee was a nice touch.
