Nice Stay
The Hotel was a nice stay I used the restaurant and bar, food was good and the staff very polite. my room was comfortable and had the nice touch of tea, coffee and biscuits options with an additional 2 x packs of crisps and 2 x bottles of water. The bed could do with a new mattrass as there was no padding left in it, when sat on there you felt the base. Apart from that all was ok.

Staff and service at event were excellent. Food was superb. Paul on reception following morning was first class. Thank you. The room however was awful. V basic and interconnecting door meant it felt like we had two other people in our room with us. Expecting full refund asap.

The traffic was very heavy passed the front of the building were the table and chairs for sitting out were situated. There was no quiet drink sat there. I had to clean two seats before sitting down. A huge facility was across the busy roads were wagon and huge trailer went to unload produce. I noticed immediately all the table tops in the breakfast room had rings sticky rings were drinks had been placed. At first I thought it was in the pattern of the wood tables. I had to clean the table before I could use one to wait for our friends. As I mentioned in the other form this is a dog friendly pub. But the dogs were smelly from there walks and one sat each morning just simpering at its owners while they had breakfast. It was annoying and uncomfortable for the rest of the breakfast people not just ourselves. The coffee was awful too. Prices a bit too high.

Lovely stay but not quite as photographed
The rooms were clean and nicely decorated but there was wear and tear I.e marks on the walls. Bed was so comfy !!! The bathroom was not as pictured for a deluxe room. More just a standard white bathroom like premier inn etc. That was a bit of a disappointment but didn’t really affect our stay. Over all it was a nice stay, the food and the staff were lovely and we would stay again if we were in the area

A convenient location for what we were doing. It has plenty of parking, including reserved parking for residents when there's a large event on. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The bedroom was clean and a reasonable size and had little extras like crisps. Breakfast had a good choice of items for which you pay extra to the room and pay on the morning. My only small comment would be that the stair carpet needs replacing - it's worn and ripped, and doesn't give a good impression before you get to your room.

The hotel is very rundown on both the inside and the outside. I think the hotel mostly caters for people travelling with dogs. This isn’t what me and my pregnant wife wanted. The tired room had been cleaned but you could still see dog hair on the carpets. We were kept awake in the night with the fire door banging outside our room and lots of comings and going in the corridor. I complained at 20:30pm but nothing was done about it. They refused hotels.com request to refund my stay. There are some nice b&bs in Holmes Chapel I advise going there instead.

Gary n Debs review June 2024
Our first visit as we were visiting a hi-fi show nearby, the new landlord had recently taken over and was in the process of making the hotel great again, he said it's been run down a little and they wanted to bring it back up. They did seem a little short staffed but other than that I cannot complain at all the food was good the beer was good the place itself was good the only downside is a noisy peacock in next doors garden!!
