This place is really nice we had a signature room which was wonderful only small gripe was that restaurant closed very early when we stayed here and we had to go out. But Congleton has lots of good restaurants nearby we went to Orange Tree and it was great.

The staff were very efficient and friendly. The room while small was very clean. The only disappointment was that being a Saturday the restaurant was busy and they tried to place us at a very dark side table. We decided not to dine there and found a lovely Turkish restaurant in the High St. Overall a great stay.

Incredibly well presented venue and room. Spotlessly clean, and very well equipped modern yet also cosy. Bathroom spotless and modern. Friendly welcome from reception team despite my late arrival (use Leone entrance if arriving very late). Vegetarian breakfast was first class, and service quick and friendly. As it's also a bar/restaurant there is ample parking.
Full vegetarian breakfast.

Good Stay

Great stay, food and service was great, evening meal and breakfast were good. Nice comfy spacious room. Only let down was being asked for card details when checking out despite them having card machines seemed strange.
