    My room was clean, fresh and pleasant if a little small. It was kept clean and well stocked throughout my stay.

    Clean, comfortable, lovely staff, nice products such as toiletries and tea/coffee facilities. We were attending a cooking class that was literally next to the hotel, so it the ideal location for us. But a bit far out of Didsbury if you’re wanting...
