This place is very convenient for a visit to Hyde Hall. The four rooms are separate from the Pub where a very good breakfast is served. The room we stayed in was spacious and the bed comfortable.

Very friendly place, very busy in bar area but accommodation separate (& quiet 😊👍)… enjoyed looking round the bar area after breakfast next day, lots of interesting items/photos etc and nice to be away from the ‘corporate’ feel that most hotels seem to have these days. I’m sure we’ll be back.

The four rooms situated around a central courtyard contain an oldy worldy charm but with modern touches and have everything you could need for a stay away. Extra touches like the largest fluffiest towels you could want, lovely smelling shower washes, a high magnification mirror and a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment were very welcome. All of this topped off with a tasty cooked English breakfast and drinks in the morning. The service is second to none, staff are extremely friendly, helpful and couldnt do enough for you. All in all a great place to stay.
