The breakfast was so nice especially the bowl of fruit and the scrambled eggs were scummy. Would love to visit again.

Not much to say I didn't like only a personal preference as it was the family room there was only a bath anf I like my showers.

Lovely soft towels and nice toiletries. Towels lovely and soft and clean but the flannels had been put in a box which was thick with dust.
Bathroom door handle hanging off .
Nice to have 2 bottles of water in the room but one had been opened, the seal was broken and some drunk!!
When we arrived we noticed a sign to say they only accepted cash, which meant we had to go back out and find a cash point.
- Karen (10/5): -
- Ian (8/5): Very quiet and relaxing. We stayed on route to Lapland UK - Spacious clean room. With nice touches such as toiletries tea coffee and water. We liked everything.
- Antonia (9/5): -

Good breakfast which was pre-selected the night before each day of the stay.
Simple self checkin. Pay property on departure day.
Good value for money. Would stay again if needed place near Congleton. Property has old world character but a bit dated decor and room(s).
Steep staircase
- Sandra (10/5): -
- Fiona (8/5): Great location, clean and comfortable with excellent breakfast. - Very comfortable double room on the second floor with en-suite shower and toilet. Those over 6ft need to be careful of the sloping ceilings at the room edges. All very clean and comfortable. Good shower and excellent quality towels. Off road parking, peaceful location. Excellent full English breakfast. Very convenient location for several NT properties. Only thing I would change is they played commercial radio station at breakfast with no option to turn down or off. I would have preferred silence but that's a personal preference.

Staff welcoming and friendly
Dogs very welcome
Delicious breakfast
- Debbie (9/5): - Fantastic breakfast-loads of choice. Lots of biscuits and tea/coffee, bottled water in the room. Spotlessly clean. Spacious and really well loved and looked after. And very dog friendly too.
- Hilda (7/5): Comfortable stay. - Spacious room, good shower, generous breakfast with loads of choice.
Good provisions though the sweets were perfumed,
Possibly stored too close to washing products?
Wonderfully warm but easily controlled. Could have done with a couple of drawers in the spacious bedroom.(or a rack to place suitcase on)
Second day breakfast ,at same time as first, slightly spoiled by dried up bacon and toast .
- Estrela (9/5): Lovely peaceful place, perfect stop over or for a few days. - The room was lovely and spacious and very clean. Breakfast was a well orchestrated task with a list of breakfast items to choose from.

- jones (10/5): -
- Chris (7/5): Comfortable stay and nice breakfast, with convenient parking. - Comfortable bed and nice breakfast. Large family room was made available to me and the room had snacks and drinks available. So a nice stay overall I was at a wedding and knew the event would finish late so I asked if it was possible for a late checkout and details of a taxi firm. The details I got from Booking.com suggested a check out time of 10:30. The details when I arrived indicated a check out time of 10:00, and I got a knock on the door at 10:01 ( I was a little late as I had mislaid a very important item, a pen bought for my 60th birthday and searched for it for a few minutes). Also, the shower was incredibly loud and difficult to use due to the ceiling height (I'm only 5'6" tall).
- Richard (9/5): - Breakfast was lovely, room clean nothing not too like
- Russtin (8/5): Thanks for having us - Lovely nights stay Was all good
- Samanta (6/5): Good value - Los alrededores. The garden. Spacious room. Nice breakfast. Small bed and soft mattress. The owner seemed off...like busy and distracted. A lot of work undergoing, so that could explain why she was like that.
- Grahame (9/5): Great as a base to explore Cheshire and Manchester. - Good-sized and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast.
- marnix (7/5): goed voor één keer - kamer viel mee! geen persoonlijk ontvangst, wat je verwacht van een b&b
ontbijt ook heel onpersoonlijk gebracht
personeel niet vriendelijk
