Business Trip
The staff were great, the rooms were ok but need upgrading. The noise was really bad, with the planes going in and out of the airport it felt like I was on the end of the runway. Its a shame because the staff and food were really good. Unfortunately we wont be staying there again.

Great place to stay in Knutsford
Superfriendly and helpful staff, spacious rooms, bathroom had a tub(!) - brilliant! The reception ordered a taxi for us to get us to the airport when we checked out. Perfect!
This is a brilliant place to stay if you would like to explore the fantastic «Tatton Park».
