Delicious food, shame about the toilet

Great place to stay! The food was delicious! Only issue was that the toilet in our room was wall hung very low. My husband is 6’ and I am 5’4” and we both found it too low for comfort.

A great little gem of an Inn.

We stayed here as we don't like the big chain hotels, we prefer an independently owned as they have so much more character. We chose the Bear's Paw in order to visit Trentham Gardens and the National Memorial Arboretum even though both were a drive away. Lovely old inn, had a great dinner and breakfast here. We had our dog with us, who was welcome wherever we were.

Really nice stay near my old hometown. A peaceful Cheshire country area, very quiet and easy to get to. Parking onsite, safe and secure. Food is great, staff helpful and friendly and comfy surroundings. Good range of breakfast options included. Our room was fairly small but there are options, if there had been other facilities like a spa or sauna it would be 5 stars for facilities. Also, much better room coffee would be great but you see that a lot outside of cities, most people don’t care really but it’s a perk. Cleaned each day, and tidy inside and out. Easy to get to from the M6 and local towns of sandbach and Crewe have rail links. Will stay again for sure.

We had a super stay.

"We stayed at The Bears Paw and were pleasantly surprised, despite reading some mixed reviews about the service. However, our experience was exceptional - the staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient. Food arrived promptly, and they went above and beyond. We enjoyed our stay in a beautiful room, and the location was lovely. Highly recommended!"

This is a truly lovely place to stay. It's so convenient for the M6 but quiet and rural. It's furbished to a very high standard and the rooms are superb with all amenities and comfy beds. The staff are simply lovely and couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. We've just stayed twice in one week (two different rooms), with breakfast and evening dining in their restaurant on both occasions. It's simply a brilliant find, great value for money and we'll definitely be back!
