We booked accommodation on the basis of proximity to Manchester airport for an early flight No soundproofing and doors constantly shutting could be heard throughout the night. The room was decorated nicely but carpet was quite dirty and as you entered the hotel an untidy cleaning trolley was at the entrance for the duration of the stay.

- Jay (6/5): Lovely but improvement in cleanliness needed. - Near to Hale village and motorway access. Property pretty and the pub part was very comfortable. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful when my door wouldn’t lock. My bedroom cleanliness could have been so much better. The bed was clean and comfortable but the bathroom, doors, skirting boards and lower areas were dirty. Not just tired but actually dusty and stained. Lovely friendly place to stay so this issue easily resolved with words with the cleaners I would suggest.
- Graeme (9/5): Very good and would happily stay again or recommend - Great room, spacious and quiet.
Comfy bed with plenty of pillow options.
Nice hot shower and cleanliness was very good.
Room ready on time and welcoming attentive staff.
Nice evening atmosphere in the bar.

- David (10/5): -
- michelle (10/5): -
- lee (10/5): Very comfortable - Modern and clean. Friendly staff, good food. None
- Joseph (8/5): -
- Justin (6/5): Poor - Location I had booked a twin room for me and my son , on arrival it was a double bed I went to reception to explain I’d booked a twin and would like twin room , not much help just kept saying you didn’t book a twin I have nothing on the system ?
Ok fine if your not willing to move us ,when I was about to leave reception she said we can changed the beds now for us , I just said can’t be arsed with the agg now not helpful, breakfast the room was hot and had flys kept landing on our table , went to order breakfast then got told there are no sausages available so had extra bacon but poor really for £122 for the night.
- christopher (10/5): - Nice fresh cooked Breakfast
- Graeme (10/5): -
- Mark (9/5): Hassle free, relaxing and enjoyable ! - All of it, great staff and service, and a very clean and comfortable room. Nothing !
- Darrell (8/5): -
- Mandy (10/5): - The young guy on reception was very welcoming and informative. He explained that the bulls head was closed for renavation and advised us of a couple of eateries local to have a evening meal. The room was very clean and had everything needed for an overnight stay. The heating made the room nice and toasty. Only about 10 mins drive from Manchester airport. Would definately recommend this lovely hotel. Nothing really but it would have been nice for the pub to be open
We wasnt made aware of this until we arrived at the property.
- julie (10/5): - staff location parking and food nothing
- Melanie (9/5): - Very comfortable Due to the temporary closure of the pub, this meant we only had a choice of a continental breakfast. This would have been acceptable if the price reflected this choice.
- David (8/5): Enjoyable overall, good value for money - Room, warm comfortable and nicely designed, bathroom too, although I wish all hotel showers were a universal design with written instructions. Enjoyed eating dinner in the pub, nice busy atmosphere (Fish and chips were gorgeous) Pity it was mid winter as beer garden/restaurant outside looked very inviting. Trivial I know but at breakfast asked if it was possible to have thin milky porridge. certainly was the reply, what I got you could stand a spoon up in the middle and it would stay upright, second day same request, mentioned previous failure, got exactly the same 3rd day same, gave up
- Lorraine (6/5): - Both hotel and staff lovely Didn't like the fact that booking.com failed to inform us that the pub was closed
- Jerry (6/5): Building disruption flawed a convenient stay - We have stayed before and found it to be a convenient location with parking and electrical charging. It was undergoing a major refurbishment with building works going on both inside and outside. This reflected the score as the facilities were limited due to the Pub being closed, so no meals were available only a limited continental breakfast availability.Our room also backed onto the building works and there was a constant security light on all night.
- Chris (9/5): -
- Riley (10/5): -
- Philip (10/5): - Comfortable bed and excellent breakfast.
- Roslyn (5/5): Ok - Location , cleanliness No food available .
- Ruth (9/5): Had a lovely relaxing stay - will be back!!! - Great location for us and the hotel was so quiet and peaceful. Comfy beds and very clean, parking easy and on site. Right next door to the pub, where the beer was fabulous (obviously very well kept), food was good and staff were friendly and helpful. Great value for money!
- Morag (9/5): -
- Morag (9/5): Brilliant pub and accommodation - Great area for our needs. Clean spacious rooms. Great atmosphere in the pub. Very good food. Staff friendly and helpful. A wee bit noisy early morning.
- Catherine (10/5): I was visiting family in the area so I had a lovely time - Breakfast was really nice, the staff we very friendly and helpful I didn’t like having to go out in the rain to go over for breakfast
- David (10/5): - Easy access to airport, really nicely fitted bedrooms Nothing
- Joanne (10/5): -
- Rhian (9/5): Excellent stay and really good location for Manchester airport for an early flight. - Dinner was excellent, and Breakfast was super. They also had electric car charge points and so i could charge the car overnight which was really helpful. It was raining!
- Barbara (8/5): Very comfortable bed, breakfast lovely just the above points were a little disappointing this time. - The computer wasn’t working properly and kept refusing cards. Ended up using card machine Toilet flush extremely hard to push. Tissues empty and dust noticeable on wires, skirting boards and top of radiator.
- Neil (9/5): -
- David (9/5): - Very comfortable room. A beautiful pub serving lovely food.
- Toyne (10/5): Amazing hotel would recommend - Was an amazing hotel and restaurant, staff super friendly and welcoming, hotel room was lovely couldn’t ask for better I would definitely use again Nothing. I liked everything!
- Denise (10/5): Great location with pub next door - Clean and comfortable
- Matt (6/5): Sullen staff, pricey stay - Room good, clean, and comfy, and dog friendly. We paid £395 for two nights ... Staff were non-communicative and sullen apart from the morning waiter who was good. Obviously operating on a strict budget - two button mushrooms and half a slice of black pudding accompanied the single rasher of bacon and sausage.
- Morag (10/5): Great atmosphere in the pub/restaurant. - Staff excellent. Very clean and good food. Great location for us.
- Joe (5/5): Ask for a room away from the building site - Comfortable stay. Great location for what we needed At 745am a building site next door started up mechanical equipment which woke me and disturbed my sleep. Very disappointing
- Roslyn (6/5): Ok - Perfect location . No barfood available
- Steve (6/5): Let down badly by breakfast - Very comfortable and clean bedroom Cold shower in morning. Despite booking breakfast there was a 30 min wait for food which meant I did not have time to eat.
- Pekae_UK (9/5): Very convenient for the airport and comfortable rooms and bar/restaurant. - Easy and quick check-in, lovely bar staff (except the manager!), nice food and good choice of beers. Very nice atmosphere. The manager had little to no customer-facing skills! When told by the young lady that was serving (a very busy bar - alone!) that there were people waiting - i.e. me, right in front of him, he just said " well they'll just have to wait!" Pretty poor. The lady, on the other hand, was fantastic!!
Car parking was a bit of a challenge as most of it appeared to be barricaded off and I couldn't find the EV charging point (fortunately, I had sufficient charge for my needs).
- Andrew (9/5): -
- Sally (8/5): Good stay - Friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff.
The food in the restaurant was very good.
Convenience location for our needs Other than the fire alarm going off at 7.30am it was all good!!!
- Bertil (8/5): -
- Adam (8/5): - Relaxed stat - nice vibe
- james (10/5): -
- Martin (10/5): -
- Tina (10/5): - Good parking. Lovely size room. Beautifully decorated. Well designed bathroom. The bed was a large size and very comfortable. There were lots of lovely extras too! Plenty of coffee and tea with biscuits. If required there were plenty of extras in the reception area. Breakfast was very good. Plenty of choice and good quality. The staff were friendly and helpful too. We really enjoyed our stay. Nothing....
