You greatly enhanced our trail from Cheshire for a wedding.

10.0

We were impressed by the helpful, friendly manner of the staff, booking in and serving us throughout. The food was excellent and our son who accompanied us and dines out regularly in the UK and globally was suitably satisfied. My full English breakfast was delicious,- not always a “ given” !…Incidentally you were able to provide rooms near, but, thoughtfully, our son decided that my husband would be better on the first floor with fewer steps to tackle, This change was kindly organised. You ticked all the boxes and all the staff wanted to please.Thank you.
